    I got this to use as a thread border router to start building out a Thread/Matter smart home and for that purpose it has worked without a hitch. Of course the sound is also very good for the size, and it's really well integrated with the whole iPhone/iPad/Mac ecosystem that we have. I'm most surprised and impressed with the amount of bass that comes out of this thing! It may not be audiophile quality sound, but it's loud and enjoyable and works for me as a music-lover and a picky tech person. If you can stomach the price, I highly recommend it!

    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 use it basically for everything, from tv to music and controlling devices, being able to seamlessly use devices without issue is worth it, the only issue is that apple doesn’t allow much customization, however the quality is peak, I don’t think I would change much to make it sound better, 10/10

    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 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.

    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!!!

    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.
