    As long as you are in the Apple eco system then purchasing the HomePod will make sense and it is seamless. Sounds great, but should be able to do more - such as pair bluetooth, use as a desktop speakers without airplay.

    Great sound from a slightly smaller second generation HomePod with a smaller price tag! Same ease of installation.

    Great for music. But, a not-so-smart speaker.

    As a speaker and music player, the HomePod is really top notch. The sound comes through loud and clear. Integration with Apple Music and other Apple devices is great. Some of the “smart speaker” features do not work that great. Siri is surely not as useful as Amazon’s Alexa in this way. We replaced our Echo which had a blown out speaker. My kids miss some novelty skills and jokes that Alexa could do. I somewhat miss the verbal shopping lists. This is supposed to work on the HomePod too with having it learn and identify family members by their voice. I simply can’t get it to work right. I can’t really rate the Smart Home features for controlling lights and appliances, as I don’t really use those as of yet.

    It’s a great speaker. I bought two and use it kind of like surround sound. It didn’t have much bass, though. And it crackles every once in a blue moon.

    I am very impressed by how well this speaker sounds. I love how well it is integrated into the apple ecosystem and using it with an Apple TV even allows me to pass through the sound from other devices connected to my tv. Would definitely recommend a stereo pair.

    The biggest problem with the Homepods is Apple

    I purchased two HomePods to use them as a pair stereo speakers for my Apple tv and PS5. The sound is really really good. The level of quality and detail when watching movies and playing games is a great experience..When they work!!..I got them on release day and I’ve been using them everyday as my main audio speakers for my tv. After the first week of no issues now they are causing problems. There are times where one speaker stops working with the Siri Remote, so when you use the volume controls only one will work making the sound unbalanced. I tried working through it with Apple and their customer service are completely incompetent and have no idea how the HomePod the even works. One of the supposed “geniuses” even asked me where did I purchased the Apple Tv as if where I buy their devices has anything to do with the HomePods not working. In conclusion they never figured out the fix and I had to figure it out on my own, but the audio problem has happened twice already since I’ve had them. Im still on the return period and Im very much considering returning them. This problem has been mentioned by people on the past with the Gen 1 HomePods and Apple still hasn’t cared to fix it but still charge a premium for this half baked speakers.

    If you know apple, you know the product to be quality. In this speaker category, the sound is quality. Siri speech recognition is good. I don’t use this for much other than music, so can’t speak to its other uses.

    As an user of the Apple ecosystem, I initially considered this speaker a logical choice for my living room. However, when I tested it with Apple Music's lossless streaming, I was shocked by the flat response. If you are okay with MP3 music quality, you probably won’t mind, but if you own monitor speakers like Yamaha, M-Audio, or KRK, you’ll notice a significant difference. I even compared the quality to that of the Amazon Echo Studio, and I prefer the latter.

    I got two homepods to create a stereo pair & home theater experience for my father. I listened to the Sonos Arc while it was good musically it lacked in the HT area where i had to crank up the volume to listen ti dialogue. These HP paired w a Apple TV 4K latest gen hit it out of rhe park. Ive thrown everything thing at it rocks, hip hop, classical, jazz it just right. Watching movies in Atmos is incredibly satisfying. These HP’s come with my highest recommendation!

    Bought this open box and it has worked perfectly. Started my smart home with it as the main hub. No problems. The sound was lacking highs to my ears and sounded muddled. Thought about returning it. Put my hearing aids in and it sounds fantastic for such a small little device. I can’t think of one complaint. Works seamlessly.
