Customer Ratings & Reviews

Big sound, small footprint - works with all my Apple gear! Just had to let it update initially, which it did automatically once initiated by iOS. Once updated, was able to use it with MacOS. I don't really use it for Siri, just to play music. It has no problem playing from either my computer or iPhone. The sound is surprisingly loud for its size. I really like it!

2nd generation HomePod is head and shoulders above the rest of smart speakers. Design offers a minimal footprint that fits all decors. The product design produce crisp clear sound. Quality is good enough to be used as tv speakers. Hands down my favorite smart speaker for any application.

works very nice in all areas sound, setup, install, best of all siri.

Pairing two of these is incredible especially if you have apple TV and are used to just the TV speakers. Great with Apple home if you use their native app. I have one paired to an Apple TV at a 2nd home and it fills the room with sound. For music it has solid bass especially for a speaker of its size. I also use the temperature readings it displays in the apple home to check on properties and control thermostats.

I bought two of these for my living area. I have one near the TV and the other in opposite corner of the room. I don’t have an outlet on other side of TV. I was skeptical at first, but sounds great in an open space. Also nice to hear the TV in the kitchen while I’m busy in there.

I’ve got a pair of these, four feet apart (per apple’s recommendation), about five inches from a wall, mounted on shelves that are barely bigger than the HomePod’s base. In that position, they’re able to project a dome of surround sound through my bedroom, which sounds incredibly immersive when you’re in the center of the room. Even outside of the sweet spot, it still sounds delightful. It’s very impressive to hear no noticeable volume dropoff on sounds that move frok the center channel to around the back — something that more expensive setups with rear surround speakers struggle with in between speakers. Plus, audio is beautifully balanced and detailed. Ive always been one to use headphones, because the details you can hear with them is much greater than speakers are usually capable of producing. But the advanced computational audio Apple has is second to none, and manages to draw headphone-level detail out of speakers that effortlessly rivals my $400 set. I’d heard the original HomePod, but never got one because of the price. I’m so glad I could afford them this time, because they’re going to be with me for many years.

This is wothout a doubt the best smart home speaker on the market. It has amazing sound quality and when paired with anothet HomePod and an Apple TV you have a surround sound system for totally emmersive theater system!

The sound is great but, it keeps disconnecting from music

I had two of the original HomePods. They were used independently and sounded amazing by themselves and still do to this day. When I purchased the Gen 2, I was quite disappointed as they didn't sound as good to me. While the engineers addressed peoples' complaints that the high end of the spectrum...they did it at the cost of the middle-end tones in Gen 2. I took a gamble and decided to buy a second Gen 2 HomePod and it changed EVERYTHING. Honestly, when I paired them both as a stereo pair...OMG...They sound AMAZING! Like gamechanger amazing. Well worth the money for a high-end desk setup or a bedroom TV when connected to an AppleTV 4K. That said, I don't think they sound good enough to replace a full soundbar setup for the main TV. Overall, as an Apple ecosystem person, these speakers do what Apple does best...they just work and they create an amazing Apple experience. Now, if Apple can improve Siri, we're all good. The bottom line: If your situation matches the scenarios I mentioned AND you are heavy in the Apple ecosystem AND you can afford two of them...buy this product.

Great sounding speakers if you're deeply in the Apple ecosystem. After months looking into getting a soundbar, I decided to get 2 HomePod to set up with my Apple TV. A little troublesome to get to them work at first. But once set up, they sound great. Using airplay via iPhone or MacBook is easy as well. I would recommend if you're deep in to Apple ecosystem.

Love the HomePod mini so much that exchanged it for the “Big one” (This one) SOUND/ Siri /Home devices everything is perfect!

We had unrealistically high expectations for this item, as it was replacing a bunch of speakers and a sub for our home theater. Turns out it blew our expectations out of the water. The lonely pod turns your room into a movie theater! The bass is unbelievable. The sound clarity is amazing. Highly recommend this for home theater or for general music. Incredible sound!! Would recommend far and above anything Sonos produces.

Great sound, nice bass, easy to set up and use with other Apple products.

I'm an Apple girl all the way and so of course I am giving the speaker a rave review. I have the smaller HomePod as well and this one blows it away! The sound is so rich and carries the deep sounds effortlessly. I have pair this with the 2 minis and it's like a concert hall in here! Go ahead and purchase this HomePod, you won't be sorry!

I really like this speaker. It integrates well with my Apple TV and it sounds great. I also like that it connects through my WiFi and not BT. This lets me play music on the speaker AND tv which are in different rooms. A very nice feature.

Great sound. Very easy to setup and have received many Compliments and comments from people who thought I had a huge speaker system in my place.

The Apple HomePod provides excellent sound and works well with all of an our Apple devices. It blows Alexa away.

Interoperability with other Apple devices is nice. Sound quality is good. Lacks easy sound adjustments that other Bluetooth speakers have.

I now have 3 HomePods Gen 2 in my house and they are incredible for what they are. If you are in the Apple ecosystem and want something that has incredible sound in a nice-looking package, these are for you. Yes, the price is not cheap, especially if you pair them for use with your Apple TV, which I did. However, you do get incredible sound that will make you wonder how they do it without a dedicated sub. If you like Apple products, you won't be disappointed with these, especially if you pair them. They truly fill the room. The only downsides I have found so far is that you can't change the EQ on them and they won't work with something you need to plug in, such as a turntable. I've found that the auto EQ works for almost everything I have used it for, including music and movies. For my money, they are as good or better than a Sonos or other soundbars, but maybe not as much as as more expensive systems dedicated for Atmos. But at that level, you're spending a lot more and getting something that doesn't look nearly as unobtrusive.

Easy to operate. Simple to set up. The speaker has great sound and fills the room nicely.
