    I have a gen 1 HomePod and love it. I waited too long to buy another at the time and then they were no longer available. Was excited to hear about the new gen2 and I'm not disappointed. Bought 2 and paired them for some amazing sound. Siri works good as far as I can tell during this review. HomeKit works well also with these as they should. Owed about 2 months now.

    This item is still far too pricey, but good for bedroom airplay and stereo. Siri doesn't know much as usual and still has trouble understanding questions and/or commands.

    I love the HomePod it’s super clear and loud and I love the ability to customize, only cons is that it defaults to playing apple music and I have Spotify. The home pod also only connects to other home pods. It would be great if it could link up with the mini pods as well.

    Just incredible as a one source room speaker. Two is a fantastic room choice for tv w Apple TV. Way way better than a Sonos arc and the Bose sound bars. Surprised and beyond happy. Great clarity. If you like huge bass you’ll need a more broad speaker setup and sub which Apple desperately needs to finish off this for full theater use

    The original HomePod is one of my favorite devices to consume music on so I was excited to see them bring it back. This model sounds just as good as my original but also adds a few features such as the temperature sensor, U1 chip, and a new processor to power advanced computational audio. Everything worked great out of the box and I am so happy with this purchase.

    Purchased this Apple Home Pod for my 64” 4k tv to test the sound. I love it so much I will now purchase one more to to get a nice sereo sound for my Sun Room entertainment center. Apple never disapoints me and in this case , it’s a home run.

    We debated buying the larger HomePod2 vs. the HomePod mini and we're very happy we started with the HomePod 2nd Gen. The sound coming from just one of these is incredible. Most our other devices are Apple and this fits in perfectly. Now we're debating if we should buy a 2nd big one, or a pair of the mini's for other areas of our home.

    I currently have five HomePod Minis which have great sound for their size but I needed something larger for my Family Room that has a 20 ft vaulted ceiling that opens to a loft. This fills the bill and then some. I already have a 7.1 home theater in the same room but this fills the gap when I just want music playing throughout the house with all the HomePods.
