Two HomePods are able to work together as a stereo pair for an even richer sound, though it's worth noting that the second-generation HomePod does not pair with either the original HomePod or the HomePod mini. A set of stereo-paired HomePods can be set as the default sound option for ...
Stereo pairing works a little differently, since you assign two HomePods to the same room. I nicknamed my two HomePods "Living Room" and my iPhone automatically asked if I was trying to create a stereo pair. After that, it asked me to identify my "Left" versus "Right" speaker to optim...
Should you have the appetite and capital for such a setup, you can now combine two HomePods in a stereo pair, and the performance if you do so is even better than expected. You of course get a far wider soundstage, with traditional left and right separation, but there’s also excellent...
