    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

    I have had all Apple's HomePods and do believe this one (2nd Generation) is the best! It sounds very good w/ nice bass. Some may say the price is a bit high for such a speaker. However, being a 'Apple Home' it just makes sense to have HomePods vs something else.

    They sound beautiful in a stereo pair. Integrate perfectly into Apple Home and respond to Siri commands. I'm no audiophile but these are amazing for TV, movies, and music.

    I bought this to attempt to use with my LG TV through the apple tv 4K second generation. I could not get it to work exactly the way I wanted it to, but I use it as a stand alone external speaker for now. I may or may not get a second one to pair as stereo later.

    Love it! Recommend you buy two for the stereo output. A single speaker sounds great as well. It’s loud, music sounds great, love using it with my Apple TV 4K for a surroundsound. Use it in my master bedroom, would sound good and a small to medium living room. Siri is not great but if you’re in the Apple ecosystem, you know that already.

    HomePod review

    My second HomePod. For the size, price, and great sound, very hard to beat. Great bass, the midrange is full and the highs are pleasant. Placement of the speaker is very forgiving. Does not have a super detailed high end. And that makes for a non-fatiguing listen. And in my world, that is important.

    The huge sound packed into this small footprint is amazing. I love the color on this new 2nd gen version, and the sound quality is just as good as the original HomePods. Truly excellent product.

    I have always had higher-end stereos like Pioneer Elite and Denon. After hearing in the store, I ordered one for home. It's very easy to use/connect an iPhone and play Sirius or local music. Next up, I'll connect it to an Apple TV. If that works well and sounds good, I plan to get a 2nd one for the Spatial audio capabilities.

    These things are amazing! Started with one to test out. Ended up buying 2 more. I replaced my sound bar and use 2 for my main tv audio. And the other in my gym. This prompted me to get 2 mini ones for my bedroom tv. Only downside is they’re not Bluetooth.. but I’m primarily Apple in my home so I’m good.

    The Homepod is an incredible speaker that truly delivers on its promise of superior sound quality. Its compact size belies its powerful audio capabilities, which are sure to impress even the most discerning music lovers. One of the standout features of the Homepod is its ability to automatically adjust its sound output to suit the acoustics of the room it's in. This means that no matter where you place it, you can be confident that you'll be getting the best possible sound quality. In addition to its impressive audio capabilities, the Homepod also boasts a number of convenient features that make it a joy to use. For example, you can control it using your voice through Siri, Apple's intelligent personal assistant. This means that you can play music, set reminders, and even control your smart home devices without ever having to touch your phone. Overall, I would highly recommend the Homepod to anyone who is looking for a high-quality speaker that delivers amazing sound and offers a range of convenient features. Whether you're a music lover or just looking to enhance your home entertainment system, the Homepod is definitely worth considering.

    Very happy with this new model! I now have 2 of these as L/R stereo front speakers, and 2 mini HomePods as L/R stereo back speakers being used with my Apple TV 4K newest model. I also have a bunch of other mini HomePods scattered throughout the house, and they all sound amazing. These HomePod 2nd Gen offer just the right amount bass with the high excursion woofer.

    Replaced a HomePod mini in the center of a room, and it fills the room with sound far better, and the bass is night and day. Apple has always been a leader in acoustics, this product doesnt deviate.

    Yesterday, I had the pleasure of purchasing a HomePod Second Generation from Best Buy as a Valentine's gift for my wife, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the decision. Knowing her love for listening to her iTunes music, I thought it would be a perfect addition to our living room. The ability to seamlessly play her favorite tunes while still being able to use her phone is a game-changer, allowing her to multitask without missing a beat. I highly recommend the HomePod Second Generation for its amazing sound quality and its seamless integration with Apple devices. It has truly enhanced our home, bringing a new level of enjoyment to our music listening experience. If you're looking for a gift that combines cutting-edge technology with exceptional sound, look no further than the HomePod Second Generation from Best Buy.
