Kinda hard to get multiples all working the way you want. And don’t put it on your nightstand it is very sensitive to your hand going over it and sometimes would wake me up as it started playing music. Or the upstairs tv if it was on.

Looses connection to the internet sorta. When I go to ask Siri to send a message it says my phone isn’t connected to the same network, but it is. The sound is just ok. Not worth 300. But everything apple is over priced.

I was hopping to get a better sound or on par with the OG HomePod, however this one lacks bass. And the lows aren’t that great. Wouldn’t recommend yet

I started to think that homepod mini is better than this one. It’s so unstable and never sync with the minis. The bass is just too much. Such a diva

(I got it to use it as Apple TV speakers) The speaker is not as loud as I was expecting. The software and Apple ecosystem is amazing but I just didnt think it was loud enough for the price point.

So not buy if you plan interact with Siri through the HomePod. Some genius engineer at Apple decided that Siri can only speak at a volume between 30-100, which means if you use the HomePod in any relatively small room (office, bathroom, etc.) that Siri literally screams at you. It took Apple support almost 2 months and 4 support tickets to figure out that Siri just can’t speak at a volume below 30 - it’s hard coded in the software. The Apple support person suggested I sell my HomePod and buy something that had Alex. That tells you everything you need to know about the current state of Apple and Siri. Spend your money son literally anything else.

Sonically, beautiful-but totally unable to hook up. I spent over 7hrs with Apple support to no avail.I returned the product to Best Buy.

Sound is alright...sounds better at lower volumes honestly but if you crank it up it the bass bottoms out really easily and sound quality tanks. Honestly not very impressed with the sound for the price. Spend the same-ish amount and get the Sonos Era 300 instead. The only cool "party trick" is being able to hand off sound from the phone to the HomePod by just hovering slightly above it. Other than that, it's really not all that exciting and the spacial sound is mediocre at best.

This speaker will refuse to connect to your wifi of choice and does not even have a bluetooth option as a backup. Worst apple product yet.

Gen 1- made for music lovers. Gen 2- made for music subscribers. All you need to know ^

I tried to pair 2 of these for a wireless home theater setup, but the sound quality wasn’t quite there. Even at full volume, wasn’t as loud as I expected. I tried all different settings, but just sounded hollow. I went back to my old standby for a home theater setup, and was more of what I was looking for. Homepods just did not have enough bass. They are likely good in a smaller space or simply for music. Although, I still prefer other products for music from a sound quality perspective.

Sound volume seems muted. Bass is okay but seems to lose a lot of high end fidelity. I’m an Apple user but this is disappointing.

Great speakers but when i opened the box it had a moldy smell

Not as loud as I would think. I have the home pod mini and there is not a huge difference on the sound.

the movies are heard well, the music is not, it sucks, also to activate dolby atmos you have to have 2 speakers.

Sound isnt impressive. Decided to keep current cheap soundbar that sounded better.

I purchased a pair to go along with homepod mini pair. They don’t connect with mini homepod for surround and bass was very bad.

Hard to use not consistent volume sound. Have trouble connection to devices

Too much bass. Mids are scooped. I found out the only way to reduce the bass is to turn it off completely in the home app!! That’s stupid. Why doesn’t Apple let us have a basic EQ capability in the music or home app to tailor the sound better? I bought two of these, wish I could return them. Waste of lots of money. My mini HomePods sound just as good.

Sound quality is not as good as last generation, owing to two less speakers. Siri processing information and dictation is worse than ever. Do NOT recommend. Wait for the next gen. These devices use the Apple Watch processors, and the Apple Watch just released can process siri dictation on device. HomePods will get that eventually. Don't buy before that.
