The HomePod failed spectacularly-with just 5 million units sold. But that wasn't the first $350 speaker Apple released on deaf ears.

It's pretty rare that Apple releases a product to market nowadays that doesn't perform well. Even niche products sell in the tens of millions; however, the HomePod released in 2017 is estimated to have sold around just 5 million units during its product life cycle. The product is discontinued-dead-but still continues to get new updates with iOS 15. Why? Is Apple doing something behind the curtain that we just can't see? Today, we take a look at Apple's other failed hi-fi speaker-one that launched over 15 years ago at the exact same $349 price point. Why do they keep screwing these speaker systems up? What might they be planning for the future? Have they given up and settled on HomePod mini? I don't think so...

Hopefully this one was a good one. I planned, wrote, shot, and edited it all by myself in a day and a half. I can’t tell you how long it has been since I’ve made a video (a) that fast, and, (b) entirely myself. Years… And I’m clearly rusty. Anyways, expect quality to rebound back to a better spot over the coming weeks and video publishing frequency to return to once weekly. My new video producer starts Monday.

One thing I loved about Steve Jobs, when he unveiled things in an event, he always spoke like he was just casually sitting in a coffee shop with a bunch of friends discussing a serious matter. Unlike Cook and the others these days who sound fake and robotic. Presentation plays a huge role, man. RIP.

That means the iPod HiFi is a wireless speaker for every modern Apple device - iPhone, iPad, Mac, AppleTV (!!) , etc.

I can't imagine the Bluetooth would be very good being 2006 technology (I believe it only supported hands-free headsets for phones at the time, and the quality was garbage). I'd imagine the aux input was just something put on because the circuitry needed for one was already mostly in place to get the line out from the 30 pin connector.

@ArtemisKitty
@ArtemisKitty 2 года назад
@@markusjuenemann The worst situation though is to be an audiophile who CAN'T afford the high-end equipment. Thtat's where I think devices like this fill a nice niche. Sure, we may have to way and get an older model, but just like with enterprise-grade PCs, an older top-end model will often still outperform the current standard ones. IIRC, this was a direct successor to the Harmon Kardon speakers the previous Macs had used, which had INCREDIBLE sound - better than most 200+ dollar speaker systems, yet it was included with your computer! (I mean... at the price they were charging, though... I guess you paid for it.) You know the ones, the crystal clear plastic speaker "towers" and subwoofer that looked like an extruded donut? Those were great. Good find, though. I can't believe how cheap he got them! Edit: I still prefer the "stalk" type HK ones because they work better at a desk, but as a soundbar for your TV/PC on a large screen? This is a GREAT option. Especially if you find it for a good price, heh. I personally still use monitors, but I understand most people don't like how they sound, so this sort of product makes a nice middle-ground where we can fine-tune it to our ears, but still let others use them around us without being unable to un-hear the compression and loss in the music..

One of these dropped in front of me at a Repair Café a few years ago - after a bit of head scratching with some others, we found the hidden screws behind the front grill which was glued on and I was thinking "oh great, this is going to be impossible to repair being designed by Apple". To my surprise once inside it was pretty modular, with a PSU, amp and input PCBs all nicely separated - in the end it was obvious what had failed - just one inrush limiting thermistor which had exploded quite spectacularly on the PSU - 90p later and it was good to go (the PSU was a third party board and apparently this was a common failure) - I was pleasantly surprised at the sound quality and the repairee was happy to have it back - 2006 design FTW :)

With no issues with the line in port, and yes 🙌🏻 the remote still works. An Amazing product. Yes there are and we’re better sounding products. But could they stand the test of time.

I have been using this speaker for the better part of 15 years now. It has gone to univeristy with me, spent two summer at an overnight camp getting beat the heck up and still sounds great and going strong.

For it's size, the HomePod mini is still probably the best speaker I've heard.

A stereo pair of minis is supposed to sound amazing. Hopefully getting my first tomorrow. Edit > I’ve had my first for a while and I’m seriously impressed. Getting a second one for the golden stereo pair at end of October.

For it's age and limited functionality, the Homepod is probably the buggiest (smart) speaker I've seen.

Wanted to buy iPod hifi back days, but it was never released in my country. Pretty soon they removed this product from sales. The same happens with HomePod. I’m currently using Marshall Stanmore and I’m so happy with the sound quality!

I bought something similar to this made by Griffin. The main difference was the sub speaker was underneath while the whole unit was raised a little on each side by two side legs. That thing was reasonably priced and sounded fantastic. But then the dock was dropped and Griffin didn’t make one with the new lightening connector.

I vaguely remember the iPod Hi-Fi. I had smaller, cheaper iPod speaker docs from Altec, Logitech, etc. It was a pain IMHO dealing with changing those dock adaptor thingies to use different iPod models with one dock.

I always wanted one, remember looping thru the aisles at the SoHo Apple Store endlessly as a kid and seeing that sexy packaging right below all the latest iPods. Sort of got my wish when I was gifted a black HomePod a couple years ago, still use it every day and was VERY sad to hear of its discontinuation

These retrospectives are great, especially on weird, failed or overlooked products. Also, after the video ended, I immediately went to check my local craigslist for one, no luck but maybe my saved search will someday find one for me.

Great review. I just subscribed due to the quality of this video. One thought though, you may want to make sure you get paid quickly by your vacuum sponsor. It looks like a great vacuum with great features, but as an owner of 5 Dyson handhelds, this thing is a patent infringement lawsuit just waiting to happen. I hope they have good patent lawyers b/c I think Dyson needs competition to bring their prices down some. Great channel and look forward to more videos! (And yes, I am an attorney)

The reason it sounds too thin in some areas is room response. Put any good sub in a room and it will only sound good in certain areas. As soon as you move around the room, the bass can sound thin and anemic or heavy and bloated, depending on where you are in the room. The only way to get around this is to have a good sound deadening in your room. I might build a Bluetooth speaker inspired by this. I’d use the new Dayton Epique 7” dvc subwoofer, and some FaitalPRO full range drivers all driven by ICE Power amps. I have a CNC machine in my closet specifically to make audio products like large horns and speaker enclosures.

Excellent video as always Quinn! Would you mind a suggestion for a future video? I'd personally love to see you talk about ways to listen to high-def streaming on Apple devices. Ie, connecting an iPhone to a lightning to USB dongle, and then to an external DAC such as a Dragonfly, Cambridge, Schiit, etc. Basically, what are some good, cost effective ways to listen to 44-16 and higher music using iPhones, iPad, & Macs. John Darko recently did a video like this, but it was more generalized (ie, it included Android devices).

Great video. I really like your analysis on the HomePod and I'd forgotten all about the iPod HiFi. I appreciate good sound, but not enough to justify amazing high-end speakers all over my house, so HomePod Minis work great for my use cases. The only other route I could see are multiple DIY Shairport Sync setups or Sonos. I've seen a lot of Apple folks write how Apple should just by Sonos. What're your thoughts on that?

I knew what you were going to cover from the price. I had one when it launched, it’s still in a closet somewhere. I stopped using it after getting Sonos speakers. The iPod Hifi has the right idea, it was just too early and should have focused on wireless connectivity instead of wired.
