Revolutionized My Smart Home!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Apple HomePod has completely transformed the way I experience technology at home. From its sleek design that seamlessly blends with my decor to the unparalleled sound quality that fills every corner of my space, this device is nothing short of spectacular. Siri’s responsiveness on the HomePod is lightning-fast, making tasks like managing my schedule, controlling smart home devices, and even answering random trivia questions a breeze. The integration with Apple Music is flawless—I’ve discovered new levels of depth in my favorite songs thanks to the HomePod’s spatial audio and bass clarity. What truly sets the HomePod apart is its ability to sync effortlessly with other Apple products. Whether I’m receiving calls, setting reminders, or streaming podcasts, the continuity between devices is seamless and intuitive. It feels like having a personal assistant that’s always ready to help! If you’re looking for a smart speaker that delivers both cutting-edge technology and aesthetic appeal, the HomePod is an investment you’ll never regret. It’s the perfect blend of function and luxury, and I can’t imagine my life without it. Apple, you’ve outdone yourself again!

Apple HomePod
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to serve several purposes. First it’s my home hub for my smart home set up and second for having a central speaker for music. I love having music playing in my house. The sound quality is better than any other home speaker I have had. If you are looking into a smart home setup this is a great way to start. Not only do HomeKit/ apple products connect but matter products as well making it easier to put all your smart devices in one space.

Great speaker, but lacking on assistant functions
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The HomePod is a spectacular speaker that well fills the space in which we have it configured. It looks great and its appearance obnoxious like the big Echo device from Amazon. The Siri functionality is a bit limited, like the mobile version, and so some queries are just not possible. But overall, it does what I want it to do and I don’t have to settle for Amazon stealing all my information.

Best decision I made
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have taken long long time to decide purchasing Apple HomePod because I had Bose soundbar 300 with subwoofers already, finally I made a good purchase with a pair of extra beautiful sound in my living room. Also Best Buy offers a good payment method which is no interest in 12 months avoiding worrying the expense. Now I’m enjoying it every day.

Your ears will enjoy listening to this speaker!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.People attempt to compare this newest model to the original, saying it's not as good, but I totally disagree. The bass from this speaker is unreal and you'd never expect it from a speaker of this size. The speaker produces clean highs and mids, and is able to fill a room without issue, especially when set up as a pair. After I purchased just one and was able to see what it could do, I had to immediately order another to make it a pair. If you already live in the Apple Ecosystem, this is a great addition and I have no regrets.

Best WiFi speaker/home hub available
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really love this thing! I had a HomePod mini for about a year before this new second generation HomePod was released and I really loved the mini as well, but I just wish it had a better, more powerful sound (though it’s great for its price and size) and I missed out on the full size version before it was discontinued so I was excited when the second generation was announced and immediately got it upon release. I was definitely not disappointed. It, of course, can be used as a home hub and bridge for your home which allows you to control and automate all of your smart home devices and has built in Siri and all of the capabilities that come with it, but it’s also a really good wireless speaker. It has tons of neat technology ti ensure a proper, great sound with deep, rich bass response. It’s great for listening to music or podcasts. You can also pair two together to use for stereo sound, and it can also be used for your tv to replace the speakers in it if paired with another HomePod in stereo mode (an excellent alternative to soundbar or similar setup, especially for those with limited space or those who have their tv wall mounted and don’t have a stand underneath their tv and want to maintain a clean look) compared to other WiFi speakers of the size or price, this is far better-and you also get all the features of Siri as well as the ability to control your smartphone with this, which makes this an absolute bargain tbh.

Amazing home pod
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s an amazing home pod! It was easy to set up and it’s been easy to use. I just have to remember to put my phone down before saying Hey, Siri. lol The sound is amazing and depending on the volume we can hear it throughout the house. It was next to the Cats Christmas tree. By the way our cats have not attacked it or anything.

Perfect Apple TV Home Theater Setup
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been through all sorts of smart tv things trying to find the best option with good sound. I've settled on Apple TV and it's been great but I was still having problems with the soundbar. Enter the HomePod 2nd Gen. I've got two of these paired up with my Apple TV and it does Dolby Atmos and more. For an intelligent surround sound system, it's a home run. These play on the Apple TV with absolute 0 issues - the audio is amazing and fills even the largest room. The only con I can think of is that you can't link up more than 2 and you can't really adjust the EQ for these on the TV. But I'll take super consistent, great sound, that works anywhere (and automatically readjusts if moved), and has a flawless integration into Apple TV ANYTIME! Plus, you can cast music to these from any Apple iPhone or iPad, and all the normal stuff the homepod does.

Very happy with the product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker sounds amazing. I want to buy 2 more for the first floor in the house. I don’t care that the sound quality is not overall better than the original 1st generation HomePod. I’ve heard different opinions anyways. The 2nd generation brings some upgrades that may be important to consider when shopping for a good sounding smart speaker. Siri isn’t as smart as I would like her to be, but she is smart enough to be good assistant, unlike Alexa. She is very fast, reliable, and works well with the Apple ecosystem.

Superior sound to Alexa, but less usability

Pairing issues but god tier
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has connection issues all the tume. Sound is so good it doesn’t even matter. This is a Goat Teir speaker at this price; same as JBL, Sony, any of the big names prices. Way better preforming sound than all of class, wired sucks but app is butter, connection issues here and there are annyoing but still works somehow.

Fantastic
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These pack a punch, easy to setup by bringing your phone close (literally thats all there is). If you have more than one, you can link them together in the Home app for stereo mode for theater quality sound. Linking them to the Apple TV 4K, unfortunately the newest model only works with them as a pair, is phenomenal. Great beautiful sound, superb audio quality, theres no choice for an applephile like me. Spatial audio/dolby atmos music and movies slay. Rich and vibrant, and hooking to earcon the tv makes all sounds come through these, so resident evil 8 or dead space so much scary or creepy.
