The next factor of comparison is the price and the connectivity. In most straightforward words, Homepods are expensive when compared with Soundbars or any other audio system. For example, the average cost of a stereo Homepod is around $500. However, you can find a decent soundbar at $180.
Indeed you can see Homepod more than twice the price of the Soundbar, and even at the low price, Soundbar can give users a decent sound experience. So, is it worth it to spend so much money on an audio system?
To answer that question, we will have to analyze the connectivity factor as well. You must be well aware that soundbars can be connected to every television computer, laptop, or another device; however, that is impossible with Homepods.
The connectivity is one of the significant drawbacks of this audio system, and unfortunately, you cannot connect homeport to any device that is not running on iOS.
You can only connect Homepod stereo with Apple TV, MacBook, or iPhone. So in a way, if you do not have any of these three devices choosing a Homepod will be a big mistake.
Even though users who have an Apple television or MacBook often go for Soundbars or other audio systems to connect their external audio system with all of their devices, that you cannot do with a Homepod.
