Our Verdict

Apple HomePod (2nd generation)

Amazon Echo Pop

The Apple HomePod (2nd generation) is better than the Amazon Echo Pop. The Apple speaker gets louder and has better bass response. It also has a room correction tool to customize its sound to your surroundings, and its 360-degree design means that sound comes across clearly from any angle. However, it doesn't offer Bluetooth connection or sound customization options like the Amazon speaker, which includes a 3-band EQ through the Amazon Alexa app. Also, the Apple device is designed for compatibility with the brand's ecosystem, which could be a benefit or a drawback, depending on your current setup.
