Has any compared to the air to the apple homepod? I have the homepod and it sounds pretty good but it's cable dependent and does not go loud. Can you turn up an air?


Lots of speakers from many
manufactures...mostly Axiom

The Homepod is a total pussy sound pressure-wise compared to the Force or Freedom.

I have yet to hear any other wireless speaker that comes close to the Axiom Air in quality or SPL output. It's size is a bit daunting for some though. You are packing essentially two M3s into a box. It is not what some people consider to be 'portable' or small enough in stature to place around the home.
When the kids take it to the rink, it is carried in a backpack!

Rebulx can buy the Force for Dawn. She'll haul that thing around like it's nothing. As for Rebulx, he can prevent back pain with the Freedom.

Volume is one of the airs strengths. I’m pretty sure that there have been changes between my unit and the current version. My unit was a bit bass heavy especially indoors. Lately I haven’t noticed it as much. I assume because I’m using it outdoors more but maybe something changed software wise or I’m just not tuned in as much. Since COVID we’ve been having a lot of outdoor get togethers and dinner parties on the deck or at the fire pit ... most of the time the air is being used as background music. Occasionally we turn it up for a little dancing.

Thanks Mojo, don’t remember reading that. Yeah, that agrees with my take.
Might upgrade at some point but right now this one seems to be doing fine for how I’m using it.
Actually, now that I have a deck it’s working out great. Remember the sound core head phones I thought were so-so? They turned out to be perfect for the shop. Since they are noise canceling I use them as muffs and get some decent tunes in.

Might as well wait for The Fury.

Don’t need bigger ... actually I’d really like a model where you could separate the left and right speakers. I’d even be willing to carry a speaker cable with it.

It is true that even a beefy hunk like me finds the Force to be a good substitute for single arm, behind-the-neck presses. In the same form factor, an 8" woofer with twin 4" mid-ranges and tweeters could work but it would be heavier for sure.

I have a plastic Sony tape deck/CD/radio boom box with detachable speakers that weighs almost nothing. I have to say when I separate the speakers around 8 feet and sit 12 feet away, the imaging is acceptable. No battery though and the sound quality is nothing like the Air. My $20 Logitech laptop soundbar with USB interface that I got at London Drugs 13 years ago sounds better than the Sony. That soundbar was an absolutely fantastic purchase BTW. I highly recommend it.
