Bass levels on HomePods

Is there a way to adjust the bass on HomePods? I just bought 2 new hompods and hooked them up to my Apple TV 4K (2nd gen) and there is very little to no bass. If there is no way to increase the bass, I'm not keeping these things. Wanted to use as my tv speakers but it's not a good experience so far.

I had an issue with this, especially with music.


If you have the HomePod mini, there's not much you can do. It doesn't really have a ton of bass.


If you have the first or second gen HomePods (the BIG ones), make sure they are at least 6 inches away from any wall and at least 1 foot off of the ground, especially if you have a carpet. This way the sound can really reach the entire room.


There may also be "dead" spots based off of where you're sitting in the room, relative to the HomePods position.

This YouTube video demonstrates it well.
