Amazing Products 10 Terrible Life Hacks To Never Try At Home

Comments

  1. Amazon echo sounds best

  2. Do not buy – sound constantly interrupts

  3. why on earth is this wired? it defeats tge whole purposes

  4. can i pair it to my apple tv and have it AND the tv play simultaneously?

  5. oh it has non detachable cable?! It doesn't show that on the website. I guess this is a pass for me :/

  6. Apple home pod mini has premium soundโ€ฆ.โค๏ธ

  7. Amazon best

  8. To me, it is a mistake for Apple go
    too far in a race to the bottom making low end items to compete against these type of Amazon and other products. This might make a little but of sense only if it attracts some people into to other Apple products. In contrast, products like Apple EarPods would not stay on the shelves last year and bring in literally $12 billion per year to Apple.

  9. When my iphone connected to homepod mini. When im on tiktok the sound is behind

  10. Hi, finale got my set. Apple decided not to see them in Holland, Belgium and Luxemburg. So were stuck with a English Siri ๐Ÿ™‚ And NO help from them ๐Ÿ™
    I have a problem with Siri, she/he speaks so soft that I nearly have tp put my ear on the speakers yo hear her/him. When I put the sound up, only the music will go louder, not Siri? You happend to know how I get the volume of the Siri voice higher? Would be grateful ๐Ÿ™‚

    Caveat Emptor: Interesting technology, but maybe the sound is Too Big for some circumstances.
    HomePod mini results in VERY VERY Poor audio quality when employing Airplay and streaming movie media from MacBook Pro
    This iteration of Apple Wizardry is in DESPERATE need of EQ accessory

  11. Hi

  12. Wait. Comparing it to a bigger speaker is unfair but comparing it to a speaker thatโ€™s half the price is?! How many people are getting the smaller speaker to save space especially since their full sized option is $550.

  13. air tag what about me Iโ€™m 29$ ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  14. Does Homepod Mini has Bluetooth?

  15. me watching this on my computer while projecting the sound from my home pod: *laughs in satifaction*

  16. Anything Amazon or Google is a hard NO if you value any sort of privacy

    Does the white fabric get dirty easily?

  17. Does is work with YouTube videos though?

  18. Iwer deutsch hier und kann mir sagen welches 187 Lied das ist vom Beat ich komm irgendwie nicht drauf

  19. The echo dot is trash itโ€™s sounds horrible

    A speaker should sound good above all else. In your comparison, the Apple productโ€™s quality of sound was in a class well above the other two competitors.

  20. Great video, thank you

  21. Apple allows you to delete your SIRI interactions with your HomePods. Google and Amazon either sell your information or hand it to the FIB.๐Ÿ’ฉ

  22. Apple best ๐Ÿ™Œ

  23. Glad you liked it ๐Ÿ˜‰.

  24. How is it unfair to compare a $100 speaker to other $100 speakers? Typical useless content from wannabe tech vloggers.

  25. I go with the bigger size Echo! It is 3X bigger!

  26. What's the * stand for next to Amazon music? I was hoping to attach to my Mac and use it as a speaker, but we're not there yet. The first thing I did was plug it into my Mac and it flashed yellow (for caution–this doesn't work). Then I pulled out the instructions and all's well. I might not use it for all its worth right now, but it sure is fun listening to "Forest" in the background. Just lovely. Great job Apple making a high-end product available for those on a fixed income. It will always be worth your while to consider us.

  27. Apple pod is shiet. Dont buy it. It's waste of money.

  28. She did a great review! I am an Apple homer & wanted an unbiased review! Pros/cons to everything, but it helped. My fav part was how many times she played comparisons of 3 units, you have to hear several times to take it in. Oh, an the unscripted talk at the end. As someone else said, keep her! I just subscribed cause of her! ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ‘

  29. Just wanted to say thank you for telling the truth and showing all three of these with the side-by-side comparisons. I am completely blind and was interested on how the Apple mini home thing with sound and thank you for your most honesty and truth it means a lot in this crazy world right now. I agree the Amazon sounds better and thank you again for such an amazing video.

  30. HomePod Mini is not even on the Apple website here in Czech Republic ๐Ÿ˜‚

  31. Need the name of the second song !

  32. Apple is the winner here out of the other two and then Google second.

  33. TRASH!!! ๐Ÿง๐Ÿ˜’

  34. Where is the battery? They missed the point with the small factor.

  35. Echo actually sounds better, but I am listening through my iPad.

  36. Does the โ€˜beamโ€™ or โ€™handoffโ€™ feature only works with iPhone 11 or later (U1 equipped)

  37. JUST PERFECT SPEAKER…. She explains it really well

  38. Does it support iphone 5s?
