The majority of the movies I have been watching are Dolby Vision and Atoms supported, and it sounds really immersive. Sadly, I can not show that here because of the copyright issues, as well as recording the sound of a speaker via a smartphone camera, which is not going to be the best as it would not capture the same experience. But Dolby Atmos, Spatial Audio, bass, etc. are all good.

Quick question; I just bought a pair of the 2nd generation HomePods but I still have the 1st generation Apple TV 4K. Does having the 1st generation make any difference with the sound quality? Especially when listening to tunes on Apple Music and watching movies in Dolby Atmos? I am debating of buying the 3rd generation Apple TV 4K but would that make a big difference?

You would not be able to notice the difference at all.

I did this same thing with first gen full size HomePods and 2021 4k Apple TV. Love the sound, love the experience, except. With this setup, I cannot get the HomePods to independently play Apple Music. When I say, "Hey Siri, play (insert song here). She replies, playing (insert song here). Then after a few seconds, she declares there is a problem with Apple Music. I've spent hours on tech support with Apple, sending files to engineering, resetting, restoring, unpairing etc. If I turn on the TV and go to the Music app and play it works fine, just not with the TV off. I also have an LG TV, set up with eArc so I can use an older Blue Ray player. I'd love to know if it works with your new set up.

Hello. I bought 2 homepods 2nd generation and connected them to apple tv 4k without any problems. However, while my current 1gb internet speed is about 700 800mbs via apple tv wifi, it dropped to around 450mbs after 2 homepods connection. Is it normal to drop so much?

Жыл бұрын

For my lounge, where the Apple TV is, it is not needed. Two homepods is more than enough to achieve a far greater sound based on what I have experience ever since owning these. What I would recommend is that for a bigger space, you would need to either get a massive surround sound system, or get more homepods, but that would solely depend on the layout of your home/lounge. Bass is good, spatial audio is good, and the dolby atmos is amazing as well so it was a good decision for me, and might be for others as well, as long as they factor in their space.

@@semino1101 I am pasting the same response I gave you in the other comment as well 😊 Hope this helps. When you are pairing two or more homepods, each is able to play its own audio channel, left or right whilst separating out both the ambient and direct energy. This also creates a spacious, three-dimensional sound effect for an enhanced listening experience from any spot in the room. When two HomePods are paired, it also increases bass extension, giving a more accurate representation of low frequencies with deeper sounds. When you set up home cinema audio with HomePod, you can enjoy an immersive soundstage for video content with Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital 7.1 or Dolby Digital 5.1 surround formats. The first part should answer your question, if not a visit to the nearest Apple Store should allow you to experience it before purchasing it as well 😊

Hey, thank you for watching. Someone else was asking me something similar as well. It is kinda hard to showcase how the sound of the HomePods is via a smartphone camera or any camera for that matter because it would not be sounding the same, but in my own experience of having the HomePod 2nd Gen for the last 5 days, I do not have any complaints with the bass, spatial audio, or dolby atmos as the homepod balances out things perfectly. Based on where you setup, the homepod will adjust itself on how it delivers the sound to you. The only downside would be, if you have a big space, then the two HomePods might not be enough, you might end up needing more or a proper sound system.
