Results and Analysis

Google Home continued its outperformance, answering 88% correctly and understanding all 800 questions. The HomePod correctly answered 75% and only misunderstood 3, the Echo correctly answered 73% and misunderstood 8 questions, and Cortana correctly answered 63% and misunderstood just 5 questions.

Note that nearly every misunderstood question involved a proper noun, often the name of a local town or restaurant. Both the voice recognition and natural language processing of digital assistants across the board has improved to the point where, within reason, they will understand everything you say to them.

The google home max and the HomePod sound good. Maybe not 300-400$ good but they’re new and top of the line smart speakers and v1.

Doesn’t the HomePod just use Siri? No fricking way siri out performed Alexa. I refuse to believe it. Siri is dogshit in every possible way.

I got my wife the ultimate ears with Alexa. It's loud and works great.

I swapped from Echo devices to Google shone minis after I got 9 for $73.

The google home mini is so vastly superior to the echo it’s crazy.

I wouldn’t say the google home mini or any of the google line is vastly superior, however, we previously had Alexa and we prefer google now too.

I think it’s all what each family prefers. Different strokes and all...

Just got the Sonos One. Sounds great and it can use Google or Alexa.

I have an Echo and a couple of Sonos in my house. They're fine for what they are which is background music.
