    Updated Home Pod is nice and compliments my home pod minis that I also own (4) and use throughout my home. In comparison to the mini, the home pod has more bass. Contemplating getting a second Home Pod.

    I used them as a pair with Apple TV for the best experience. Sounds good but doesn't give you surround sound effects. They can be used on XSX and PS5 with eArc. I had a time where one disconnected from wifi and had to replug in for it today work again. Overall good if you are deep in the apple ecosystem.

    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.

    These things are awesome. I had to buy another one for my living room to pair them and even got one for my home gym.. they’re that good pairs with Apple tv. Also act as thread routers! Only downside would be the price.

    Not really worth thr price tag so see if you can get it on sale. Unless youre getting 2 to pair with your apple tv, I would just get the minis which also have good sound and a third of the price.

    The HomePod 2nd Gen performs admirably, providing excellent sound quality and functionality. However, it occasionally struggles to sync properly, which can be frustrating. The intercom feature is a standout, offering a convenient way to communicate with family members throughout the home. That being said, it would be beneficial if the intercom feature was more intuitive and user-friendly. Despite these minor setbacks, the HomePod 2nd Gen remains a solid choice for those seeking high-quality audio and smart home integration.

    The Apple HomePod system is much better than Amazon's Echo system. We no longer get random advertisements shouted at us in the middle of the night. The audio performance, even on the HomePod Mini, is very good. I like being able to play music throughout the house and have it sound good. I have two of the large HomePods paired with an AppleTV and connected to the HDMI-ARC on the TV so even other connected devices play their audio through the speakers.

    This has the normal Apple quality, and it does sound good for it's price range. but a little pricey. $250 would have been just right. Probably a no-brainer though if you have other Apple products, and looking for a speaker though.

    Works seamlessly throughout the house. Easy setup and sounds great! I have it to replace my sound bar for the tv, and now there’s no need to keep changing the EQ to hear speaking — HomePod does it all and very clearly

    Very nicely surprised to hear the sound quality from this speaker. It works well with iPhone and has a nice rich deep bass sound. The sound from this speaker will fill up a room of 550 sq feet very nicely no need to buy 2 of them.
