Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my second Apple HomePod that I bought from Best Buy. The sound is very good. It has punchy base. I have them synced to my Apple TV in my bedroom and office. It really helps improve the sound of my TV. The tv’s onboard speakers don’t sound good. The HomePod makes a big difference. I also stream my Apple Music and Spotify through them.

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.

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’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.

Great sound presence. Much improved resonance over the mini (mini is great for smaller rooms) as this embodies the entire range covering a large footprint

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.

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!

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.

Bought 2 of these to replace my 1 Sonos Gen 5, and Even though 1 is not as good 2 as pair do a better job filling the room with sound.

For a speaker that fits in a backpack, the low-end is physical. You can feel the vibration from the dual passive radiators on the ends.

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.

Great sound and super easy to set up with the iPhone. We basically use it as an alarm clock in our master bedroom.

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

I picked up two of these for our homes since I was struggling with Google audio nest speakers. Since we’re largely an Apple ecosystem, I figured it would work pretty well. Problem is we don’t use Apple Music. We use a family plan with Spotify. Apple doesn’t allow for groupings of speakers, which was annoying. The other issue was that because my wife and I both have a different iCloud account getting both of our iPhones to work somewhat more seamlessly within. Spotify was problematic. In the end, I discovered that my recently updated TP – link mesh system just didn’t work well with speakers generally. I switched to Eero after doing some research. Things worked much better, but I still experienced to glitches with the Apple HomePods. I still had my Google nest set up and so I reinstall that. Far better integration with Spotify. Yes, sound quality not quite as good but at this point, the slight improvement and sound quality isn’t worth the additional headaches. I’m going back to Google nest. Cimpl immediate integration within Spotify. I can use the Google Home app to create speaker groups but once I’ve done that they’re automatically recognized in Spotify and I don’t have to open the app anymore to do anything, unless I want to try and control volume uniquely within each speaker in a speaker group. The last question on here is a bit tricky. Would I recommend these? If you’re running a fully pure apple set up using Apple Music then yeah they’re probably decent though. You still can’t punch them together into specific groups, which is a really nice feature and something Apple needs to add. If you’re using Spotify or some other music service and or you want the ability to Bluetooth to the speaker, I do not recommend this product.

Decent sound for the price. It has a great base compared to the mini.

Works perfectly, sounds amazing and is extremely use friendly

Top notch sound and a worth successor to the original HomePod. Amazing sound and in a pair with an Apple TV. Watch out.

The HomePod is the perfect smart home speaker for apple users, it seamlessly connects with your devices and has amazing sound quality along with a bunch of other features. It makes working from home great since I can get great sound without headphones.

I have 2 of these paired and they sound great. They are in a smaller living room and fill the room nicely.

Solved my TV sound issues in my bedroom. Great purchase! Paired 2 HomePods in my bedroom and placed them on the nightstands. Best decision ever!
