The Apple HomePod (2nd generation) is a stylish home speaker with built-in Siri for hands-free control. It has a similar design to the original Apple HomePod (1st generation), with lots of sound features to enhance your listening experience. For example, it automatically analyzes the unique acoustics of your room and adjusts the speaker's output accordingly. Its bass-EQ microphone is designed to maintain a steady response in the lower frequencies, even when you listen at low volumes. That said, it still doesn't offer sound customization tools like other smart speakers on the market.
