Sounds awesome and easy to use. Worth the money and would recommend!

Best Buy was great. No issues with them. Not a big fan of this imperfect speaker though. The sound is great but if you want to play Spotify it only works when your phone is on and not locked. Super pain in the rump. Needed this for remote access to the HomeKit which works fun. Pretty expensive hub for a speaker that only likes Apple Music. Should have gone with the google or Amazon platform. Cheaper and much more user friendly

As long as you are in the Apple eco system then purchasing the HomePod will make sense and it is seamless. Sounds great, but should be able to do more - such as pair bluetooth, use as a desktop speakers without airplay.

Works great. It was easy to use right out of the box. My only complaint is when you talk to Siri it’s not as loud as I would like it. If you play music on it then it gets louder.

Siri may be dumb AF but omg this speaker sounds so good, i used to have the original HomePod up until my nasty narcissistic ex decided to f my stuff up so i moved on and got this one and it sounds even better than the first one in my opinion. Cant wait to get smarter siri with iOS 18 and hopefully that’ll be coming to the homepod as well. Dual speaker setup of these could only be incredible and i cannot wait to get a second speaker.

As a speaker and music player, the HomePod is really top notch. The sound comes through loud and clear. Integration with Apple Music and other Apple devices is great.
Some of the “smart speaker” features do not work that great. Siri is surely not as useful as Amazon’s Alexa in this way. We replaced our Echo which had a blown out speaker. My kids miss some novelty skills and jokes that Alexa could do. I somewhat miss the verbal shopping lists. This is supposed to work on the HomePod too with having it learn and identify family members by their voice. I simply can’t get it to work right.
I can’t really rate the Smart Home features for controlling lights and appliances, as I don’t really use those as of yet.
