    Great sound and super easy to set up with the iPhone. We basically use it as an alarm clock in our master bedroom.

    Amazing sound quality for such a small speaker. You HAVE to get two and sync them together as a stereo pair for the best experience.

    Pairing two of these is incredible especially if you have apple TV and are used to just the TV speakers. Great with Apple home if you use their native app. I have one paired to an Apple TV at a 2nd home and it fills the room with sound. For music it has solid bass especially for a speaker of its size. I also use the temperature readings it displays in the apple home to check on properties and control thermostats.

    I’ve got a pair of these, four feet apart (per apple’s recommendation), about five inches from a wall, mounted on shelves that are barely bigger than the HomePod’s base. In that position, they’re able to project a dome of surround sound through my bedroom, which sounds incredibly immersive when you’re in the center of the room. Even outside of the sweet spot, it still sounds delightful. It’s very impressive to hear no noticeable volume dropoff on sounds that move frok the center channel to around the back — something that more expensive setups with rear surround speakers struggle with in between speakers. Plus, audio is beautifully balanced and detailed. Ive always been one to use headphones, because the details you can hear with them is much greater than speakers are usually capable of producing. But the advanced computational audio Apple has is second to none, and manages to draw headphone-level detail out of speakers that effortlessly rivals my $400 set. I’d heard the original HomePod, but never got one because of the price. I’m so glad I could afford them this time, because they’re going to be with me for many years.

    Immersive sound and seamless connection between my apple devices. I love the base, but I must say that the technology is old and Siri still sends you to your phone when you ask her a question which defeats the purpose of a smart speaker a little.

    We had unrealistically high expectations for this item, as it was replacing a bunch of speakers and a sub for our home theater. Turns out it blew our expectations out of the water. The lonely pod turns your room into a movie theater! The bass is unbelievable. The sound clarity is amazing. Highly recommend this for home theater or for general music. Incredible sound!! Would recommend far and above anything Sonos produces.

    Amazing for the right situation...but buy two.

    I had two of the original HomePods. They were used independently and sounded amazing by themselves and still do to this day. When I purchased the Gen 2, I was quite disappointed as they didn't sound as good to me. While the engineers addressed peoples' complaints that the high end of the spectrum...they did it at the cost of the middle-end tones in Gen 2. I took a gamble and decided to buy a second Gen 2 HomePod and it changed EVERYTHING. Honestly, when I paired them both as a stereo pair...OMG...They sound AMAZING! Like gamechanger amazing. Well worth the money for a high-end desk setup or a bedroom TV when connected to an AppleTV 4K. That said, I don't think they sound good enough to replace a full soundbar setup for the main TV. Overall, as an Apple ecosystem person, these speakers do what Apple does best...they just work and they create an amazing Apple experience. Now, if Apple can improve Siri, we're all good. The bottom line: If your situation matches the scenarios I mentioned AND you are heavy in the Apple ecosystem AND you can afford two of them...buy this product.

    Great sounding speakers if you're deeply in the Apple ecosystem. After months looking into getting a soundbar, I decided to get 2 HomePod to set up with my Apple TV. A little troublesome to get to them work at first. But once set up, they sound great. Using airplay via iPhone or MacBook is easy as well. I would recommend if you're deep in to Apple ecosystem.

    If your plan is to hook it up to an Apple TV it’s perfect. The new version is great with the Meds and highs so you could hear dialogue perfect and not to loud during action scenes. But if you purely buying it to listen to music, you’re gonna want more bass

    Big sound, small footprint - works with all my Apple gear! Just had to let it update initially, which it did automatically once initiated by iOS. Once updated, was able to use it with MacOS. I don't really use it for Siri, just to play music. It has no problem playing from either my computer or iPhone. The sound is surprisingly loud for its size. I really like it!

    We added HomePod Speakers to our home in addition to HomePod Mini speakers for sound throughout the house, using the larger HomePod speakers in rooms where additional stereo volume is needed. It works perfectly and can all speakers can be controlled by voice or cellphone.

    Remarkably good full dynamic range and excellent bass even at low volumes with music. I was pleasantly surprised as just how good the spatial audio and lossless, high res, and Dolby compatible use is when available on Apple streaming. There is a reduce bass function you can use at times. I sometimes use it with the television. Excellent speakers
