    Best sound quality in a smart speaker, gets super loud, the only downside is that it is slow to connect sometimes. Oh yeah and siri sucks

    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 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.

    Good, getting better. When I first bought it I was very disappointed. I had numerous calls with Apple support just to get my programmed music to play properly at the appointed times. But they used my case and actually fixed the issues in their backend code. Since then, my system has been working well (I had set everything up correctly). I will say, Siri still ain’t great. The integrations are sub par. Not really impressed. But if all you need it for is playing music at different times and using as a speaker for your tv, then it’s great.

    Always have loved apple products. This has such a clean crisp speaker with great bass. If I didn’t have a sound bar I’d consider getting a second to create a system for my tv.

    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.

    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.

    Wow does thing have bass. It feels solid in hand too. If you're in the Apple ecosystem, it's easy to control and route audio from Apple devices. But this thing has a permanent power cord and no audio inputs. That's a shame, because it sounds so beautiful, it would be nice to attach other devices.

    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.

    Enhanced TV surround sound and powerful speaker

    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.

    Wow Wow Wow. Exactly what I needed for my apartment living room. Surprised by how balanced the sound is for both music and movies when connected to my Apple TV. I will probably be getting a second one to pair with it.

    Amazing for the right situation...but buy two.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Gets the job done. I bought the HomePod as a gift for a music lover and the first thing he noticed was how loud it was when it was first plugged in. Next thing you know he’s blasting music around the apartment and the bass is booming.

    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.
