Apple HomePod (1st generation)
Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II
The Apple HomePod (1st generation) is a slightly better speaker than the Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II, though they have different strengths. The Apple model has excellent voice assistant support with Siri built into the speaker, while the Bose uses the voice assistants from your smartphone. It also has a more neutral sound profile with a more extended low bass and better directivity, resulting in a more open and spacious-sounding soundstage. The Apple is a wired speaker intended for home use, while the Bose is a battery-powered speaker with a built-in carrying handle that's more portable and better built. Also, while the Apple speaker supports Wi-Fi, the Bose supports Bluetooth connectivity. That said, the Apple speaker may be harder to find in new condition since it's been discontinued by the manufacturer.
