Shortly after Apple announced the new pint-sized $99 HomePod mini, the company revealed an upcoming feature for the original HomePod: A “Home Cinema” mode that lets the HomePod be the default speaker for an Apple TV 4K. Home Cinema also enables Dolby Atmos on the HomePod, something Amazon has done with its Echo Studio and Fire TV devices. Along with Dolby Atmos, the HomePod will also work with Dolby 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound formats.

This capability isn’t quite ready for general release yet. To enable these features, you’ll need tvOS 14.2 and HomePodOS 14.2. according to FlatPanelsHD, both of which are still in a closed-beta period.

Much like the Echo Studio, Dolby Atmos will work on the HomePod as a stand-alone speaker, but it can also be made even more immersive when two HomePods are stereo paired. The new HomePod mini can also be used either alone or in a stereo pair with the Apple TV 4K, but in this situation, the smart speakers will only receive stereo — not 5.1, 7.1, or Dolby Atmos. That’s due to the cheaper speakers’ lack of the HomePod’s spatial awareness feature, according to The Verge.

The big difference is that a pair of Echo Studios will run you $400, while the Arc costs twice as much, so for some folks, it’s a good way to get much better sound for a lot less than an Atmos soundbar. The math on the HomePods may be a little less easy to rationalize. A pair of HomePods costs $600, which puts them much closer in price with some of the best affordable Atmos soundbars.

In addition to more immersive movie soundtracks, Dolby Atmos on the HomePod will let you hear Dolby Atmos Music from select Apple TV 4K apps like Tidal HiFi. That’s a pretty big deal for folks who have been looking for ways to experience the music version of Dolby’s 3D audio format. But what would be even more exciting is if the HomePod could stream Dolby Atmos Music tracks from Tidal without having to use the Apple TV 4K as an intermediary device.

As Apple opens up the HomePod to more and more third-party music services, this could eventually happen. If it does, it would make a lot of sense if Apple’s own music service, Apple Music, began offering Dolby Atmos Music tracks too. So far, Apple Music has avoided any formats other than lossy AAC, even as services like Tidal, Amazon Music HD, Qobuz, and Deezer have been embracing higher-quality formats like lossless CD-quality, hi-res, Dolby Atmos Music, and Sony’s 360 Reality Audio.
