    I’ve tried different, smart speakers and I kept coming back to this one! It’s absolutely AMAZING sound and really takes music to a different experience! I have a first generation HomePod in my bedroom and we are using the second generation HomePod for our living room set up! I think a HomePod paired up to an Apple TV 4K is just about the perfect set up! We just have it paired up with one speaker!

    The sound quality is rich. Everything syncs perfectly across my devices, which makes it even better since I’m deep in the Apple ecosystem. A great choice for anyone who loves music.

    Immersive sound and seamless connection between my apple devices. I love the base, but I must say that the technology is old and Siri still sends you to your phone when you ask her a question which defeats the purpose of a smart speaker a little.

    The HomePod (2nd Gen) is the best sounding speaker ive ever heard. It handles bass very Well and can get super loud as a standalone speaker.

    I purchased a pair of these new HomePods to go with an AppleTV 4K - replacing my cumbersome soundbar/subwoofer/satellite speaker setup. To be frank, these are absolutely awesome - you would never think this amount and quality of sound would come out of this "Pod" - I hear things now I never even knew were present with my old setup. They are a little pricey but well worth the money, no other speaker comes close quality wise or aesthetically at this price point. Do yourself a favor, get paid - you will be impressed!!

    Apple HomePod gen 2 could be for you! By itself it honors the sound spectrum that the first HomePod introduced, although me, as a gen 1 owner can notice the difference that the absence of two mics cause, I love loud music, unhealthy levels of volume. Siri will struggle to hear the command once the volume goes above 76% to me this is a deal breaker. But apple HomePod gen 2 could be for you if you’re a human being that cares for your hearing health and only reproduce your content at reasonable levels of volume, making this, the best sounding home speaker that also supports Siri. Not the smartest assistant but she does best what the HomePod is suppose to do,

    I have both the Apple Homepod 2 and the Apple mini in my home and if you enjoy base and a nice rich sound then these two items are a world apart. The Homepod 2 definitely brings a nice rich sound with a nice base compared to the mini. The mini is great for small spaces but it lacks the presence of the Homepod 2. I will be picking up a second one in the near future to test the double speakers feature.

    Solidly built, excellent sound. I own the first generation and the bass on that one is better but gen 2 is 50$ less. Bought 2 for stereo pair.

    I am so happy that Apple brought this back. I have an older one so I LOVE THIS! These are awesome! Deep rich sound. Much stronger than the smaller ones that have been out. (I have a few of those) I put this in every room that I can and the sound fills the room. I simply play music from my iPhone and enjoy a great sound. Very easy to set up. Sets up in seconds with your iPhone. THANK YOU APPLE for finally bringing this back!!!

    I love how full it sounds, especially when running music that has a deep bass in it... reggae and R&B always feel divine.

    Love this device. I do think it is a bit too expensive for what it is, but the sound is Amazing. I use this in my kitchen attached to an apple TV when cooking. Convenient and simple to use. We play music and TV through this speaker daily. I also love connecting it to the rest of my Airplay speakers throughout the house.

    So I originally bought two of these things, one for each of my Apple TVs in different rooms and after plugging it in in the living room, I found that it didn’t work for what I wanted. It wasn’t loud enough to fill the room and it didn’t have the base that I was hoping it would to replace my sound bar, but it is really good in the bedroom. I have it in there and Siri while she’s a bit on the dumb side, does everything I need.

    HomePod 1 vs HomePod 2

    I would play them one at a time and switch it to 1 and then 2 and in my opinion, the 1st generation sounds better. The bass on the 1st generation sounds deeper compared to the 2nd generation. But playing them together sounds really good but I would have to turn the volume up or down on one of them because the volume doesn’t match. Overall though I’m happy. Maybe in the next update they can fix that issue of the volume.

    The sound coming out of this is really amazing for its size. Big bass, really clean highs. And it's really functional for home automation. It's so good in fact, I bought a second one to make a stereo pair the the result is greater than the sum of the parts. I hear there's an update coming this Fall where voice in movies is going to be improved so you hear the dialog better. Way better than the HomePod Mini, which I also have a pair for the TV downstairs.

    Great speaker, get a mini or 2 if on a budget.

    Fantastic speaker. Fills the room like many other quality alternatives (like Sonos) while having a softer appearance. Once you enter this higher-tier category, it's hard to go wrong. And while the home minis are also fantastic, the full size one here brings a noticeable increase in bass. For the price though, I think I would still choose 2 or 3 home minis over this if creating a wide-room or multi-room setup on a budget... but for a single room, choose this.
