HomePod Homepod 2

[V_Man]

Name another singular consumer electronics product that was a $1B a year business.

Not a category (VCR’s, Walkmen, Digital Cameras) but an individual product. Go.

And stick with CE. Traditional audio/video consumer electronics. No video games or cell phones.

You exclude the 2 biggest ones. So it’s not the HomePod as you claimed.
Way to change the question. AirPods are over 6 billion.

Listen the HP is nice. It’s not what you claim it is. Why can’t you accept facts. It’s not a bookshelf speaker it’s a powered streaming speaker.

-It has very limited dynamic range.
-Can’t play anywhere near reference levels.
-Can’t play real bass (<50hz). Drums and bass frequently play lower than this.

it’s a fantastic listening music in the background device.

Audiophile, like innovation is a personal moving definition that can change based on comparative values.

It’s subjective but nowhere near that subjective. It would be like calling your Kia a super car because you opted for the sport package.

But compared to Mercedes smart car your Kia is a super car.

No, it's just a bigger car. If you walk around calling your Kia a 'supercar', then people will possibly worry that you suffer from delusion. Same for calling a HomePod, Sonos gear, etc. 'audiophile'.

What I don't get is why people need to call it that. I mean, does everything you own have to be a superlative to make you feel good about your purchase? Can't it just be worth what you paid? If I eat at Chipotle, I'm satisfied that the extra I paid, relative to McDonalds, was acceptable for food that was a fair amount better. I don't have to get on a forum and claim that it was like eating at Alinea.

Like the $200000 Mcintosh https://www.mcintoshlabs.com/systems/Reference-Musicsetup is a bigger stereo?

The point is lines are blurry and not at all clear cut.
