For the past 18 months I've had one of these iHome speakers as my kitchen speaker. This was a $250+ piece of kit at original list price.
My Great Room didn't have a speaker until today, which is where the HomePod has gone. The great room connects to the kitchen in my house's open floor plan.
Even though the iHome was IN the kitchen, the sound from HomePod is better, coming from the next room over. And not just a little better.
More astonishing, one room further over, I can still give HomePod commands in a normal speaking voice while it plays music--fifty feet away.
Also that iHome was a piece of crap when it came to AirPlay. I had to connect it via aux jack to an Airport Express to get it to have a reliable Airplay connection.
