Just a quick video to give you a better idea about what to expect from each of these. 

I want to prepare another video putting all 3 together with either the XB33 or Sonos Play:1 for comparison.

HomePod Mini vs Echo 4 vs Nest Audio - sound demo

Comments

Alex Listener

My vote for Sonos Play:1 in next comparison. Also DXOMark put Harman Kardon Citation 200 to first rank in their smart speakers rating. I think it may be really good sounding speaker.

Ich nutze Alexa mit Auxausgang, da ich einen guten Stereosound selbst im Badezimmer haben will. Zwei Geräte mit Stereopairing haben mich bisher nicht überzeugt.

Nice video. I think it is really important for these speakers the placement and the room in which you listen, and maybe also the sound level of the music I am invested in apple echo-system and I really consider buying an apple HomePod mini. Also I have a sonos one sl and I think it is sounding very nice! I still insist for you to try a ikea symfonisk speaker, after true play adjustments it is a good speaker and it is only 99€ and much powerful than the mini. I can’t wait to listen the midnight session. 🙏

I really liked the lower bass from the google nest in the bathroom, sounded like a much bigger speaker. I also wonder how the Sonos Play one compares to the others, i assume it might have a slightly stronger driver, at least in the mid-frequencies. In other comparisons or listened in real life i had the impression that it sounded the most linear or the least artificial out of the bunch.

Out of the three as most obvious i like nest audio more, it has smoothest sound and nice low bass even at bathroom i like that effect tho, i do that with the marshall and it sounds close to a sufwoofer hahah, homepod mini not that bad actually, i think against maybe the bose revolve it might be even better tho, but it could have had bluetooth tho.. As for the echo 4, def. An improvement at least against the original is like much more serious now but still def. Not the best even as an omnidirectional at this size.

Ps. :i already watched this video with ur earfuns, will post a review soon, as i have a small but important thing i have to point out.

Jose Santos

Well, well i still have to make further tests, but so far i've been noticing a bit of a grainy charater,if that's the right term at aroung 2-4khz. I tried reducing that peak with my phone eq, and already sounds better more smoother, but my eq is a bit buggy tho. And thats what so far bothered me the most.

Hey Oluv, fist: Great video! (like always ;) ) However I have a important question: My Dad is looking for new Headphones. He said he found new Kef M500 (the on-ear headphones from I think 2014). They would cost 125€ in a new status. I ask myself if the Anker Soundcore Q30 wouldn't be the better pick. (with or without eq). I don't know if you heard the KEF in real life, but I would appreciate if you could tell me your opinion Best regards :D

The anker soundcore life q30 is always a good choice, it really covers the whole frequency spectrum from very low deeps to the highest notes, but it sounds smoother with noise cancelling enabled, "normal" mode has a bit more bloated bass. With oluv's eq setting it definitely sounds more true but also a bit uneven in mids, not perfect but good. I still don't regret that i bought it. Can't compare it to the kef, but since 2014 there has been some improvement in the audio market with dsp enabled devices. I know i'm not oluv but i currently listen to the q30 and wanted to comment that :)

I have never heard the KEF but I highly doubt it can sound any decent. The AKG N700NC M2 could be nice as well it’s just 130$ in the US I orders one and will report how it as when it arrives; it seems to have similar drivers like the K371, friend claimed it to sound very natural of course it will be interesting to compare it to the Q30 which I think is still the best bargain when equalized properly

Sehr interessant dass du auch smart speaker reviewst! Klar, sind kabelgebunden.. Kommen aber immer häufiger daheim zum einsatz und ersetzen bei vielen die stereoanlage. Bluetooth ist sowieso an board. Intressant sind da wohl auch die sonos speaker, die zudem wifi haben und teils mit integriertem akku auch mobil funktionieren. Da bin ich gespannt ob es die echos von amazon irgendwann auch mit akku gibt. Würde sinn machen, denn sie sind klein, "smart" und erfüllen damit mindestens genauso die kritierien eines jeden anderen tragbaren lautsprechers. Nur der akku fehlt eben noch. Da könnte ich mir eine schöne elegante wirelass charging station vorstellen zum andocken des echo 4 bspw. Der sich dann jeder zeit mitnehmen lässt

Genau das soll der Sonos Roam bieten, der reizt mich aktuell noch am meisten. Der Move klingt sehr strange Dank seines höhendiffusors, das klingt schon sehr resonant alles was ich so bisher von Aufnahmen hören konnte, wirklich live hatte ich leider noch keine Möglichkeit den zu hören.

Maurice

welchen smart speaker würdest du empfehlen bis maximal 150€? nach deinen aktuellen Eindrücken. oder meinst es lohnt sich zu warten auf Sonos Roam etc. ?

oluvsgadgets

Sonos Roam ist halt zusätzlich noch portable und schön kompakt. Der hat nicht mal ein halbes Kilo, ich bin auf jeden Fall sehr gespannt

Go with the Soundcore Q30s. Great headphones for the price.
