When you do a side-by-side comparison, it's no contest. Mid-range and treble are way, way nicer and clearer on the new ones. I'm so happy with how good these are in that area. And whatever they did to reduce from seven tweeters to five, I can tell you not only is not a downgrade, it's a massive upgrade. Like it's overall the new home pod in those ranges and even frankly in the bass, it just sounds way better overall.
