The new HomePod 2 just launched earlier this year to refresh the beloved smart speaker, and now the second discounts ever are going live. Now on tap as one of the final Apple products to get in on the Prime Day savings, B&H offers the new HomePod 2 for $289 shipped in both black and white styles. Those of you with Costco memberships can drop prices even further at $249.99. This is only the second chance to save so far in either case, delivering as much as $49 in savings.
Apple’s new HomePod 2 delivers much of the same hi-fi listening as before, just with a refreshed build to go alongside the second-generation status. There’s still Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos support to complement the beamforming sound and room sensing tech that automatically tunes drivers to your surroundings. New this time around is onboard Thread and Matter support to complement all of Siri’s smart home prowess, as well as a U1 chip for quick music handoff. Apple has built a temperature and humidity sensor into the speaker, all of which is powered by a new S7 chip that results in better sounding audio than the original model. Get the full scoop in our launch coverage.
If you don’t currently have a Costco membership, there has never been a better time to sign up. We’re currently offering a chance to score access to the popular retailer with a $30 gift card attached for just $60. That’ll help you lock-in even more savings on Apple’s latest smart speaker while also securing a full year of shopping from Costco in the process.
Apple’s HomePod mini on the other hand arrives in one of five fun colorways at a more affordable price point. It’ll deliver all of the expected hands-free Siri access as with the all-new smart speaker on sale above, just in a more compact build that won’t serenade your home on quite the same level. It’s on sale for $95 right now courtesy of B&H, too. But if you’re really looking to walk away with some savings, we’re still tracking some certified refurbished models at $70 each. If you’re wondering whether just going with the flagship model above is the right call or not, we previously broke down the differences between not only the HomePod 2 and its mini counterpart, but also the original model that started it all.
Then make sure to go hit up our Apple guide for all of this week’s other best Prime Day deals. We’re tracking everything from notable offers on the latest M2 devices from the macOS stable to must-have accessories, flagship listening experiences, and more now that we’re halfway through another work week.
