    The sound is great for its size. Siri while not the best does a good job at picking up your voice. Even at max volume.

    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.

    This is my 2nd HomePod Speaker. The sound quality is excellent and I use these to add to my whole house music system. Is it pricey? Yes, but I feel like I have a quality product.

    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.

    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.

    Pros- Good sound, easy to hook up. Works well with Apple. I like the look of it. Cons-Needs two for good tv audio, Wont work with airpods mini and Tv. Cost its very expensive. And the fabric collects dust! Well I wouldn’t recommend this as the newer model is coming out soon.

    Expensive speaker that only like Apple Music.

    Best Buy was great. No issues with them. Not a big fan of this imperfect speaker though. The sound is great but if you want to play Spotify it only works when your phone is on and not locked. Super pain in the rump. Needed this for remote access to the HomeKit which works fun. Pretty expensive hub for a speaker that only likes Apple Music. Should have gone with the google or Amazon platform. Cheaper and much more user friendly

    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.

    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.
