HomePod Diary: A second one just replaced the Sonos Play 5 in our bedroom

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/homepod-27.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1500)</div><p>I said back in February that the HomePod is <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2018/02/09/homepod-review-diary/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a Sonos Play 5 killer[/url], and I’ve just demonstrated this by buying a second one to replace the Sonos in our bedroom.</p>
<p>I explained then the reasons why I felt that HomePod was the better buy, despite my fondness for Sonos speakers …</p>
<ul>
<li>Sound quality: Almost no difference</li>
<li>Clunky Sonos app versus Siri control</li>
<li>Truly awful, flakey Sonos setup versus fully automatic set up</li>
<li>Speaker-only versus Home hub too</li>
<li>Large-ish size versus much more compact one</li>
<li>$499 versus $349 …</li>
</ul>
