HomePod’s clarity even at high volume is great, enough that it has taken the place of an ageing Zeppelin Air in my living room. Siri could do with being smarter, though – not just in the queries it can handle, but doing so at a suitable volume based on things like the time of day, to avoid waking people if you ask for the time, say. I wish it worked with more than just Apple kit, too; optical input would be welcome.
