Alright here’s the dealio. I’m a college student and was looking to buy a pair of the homepods for my apartment. I also dj/mix by myself all the time. I wanted better speakers to dj for my own parties and such (practice too). i have just found that a pair of the pioneer vm-80s are the same exact price. Is a pair of the homepods really worth better sound for my tv and music playing? or should I just go with the vm-80s? Keep in mind I already have fluance speakers for my dj controller; however, I am in desperate need of an upgrade. If the homepods truly are game changing, i’d love to know.

TL;DR
HomePods or Pioneer VM-80s for ~$747? I DJ often and want loud, high-quality speakers for mixing/parties, but also for TV and casual music.

Hey yall! Long story short, my grandfather has been listening to AI music as of late and is completely unaware that it’s AI. As a musician, I hate supporting all forms of AI music. The specific “band” he’s been listening to is “Eldruna”. If anyone has any recommendations to something similar, please let me know so I can help him support REAL people. Thanks
