    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!

    Replaced a HomePod mini in the center of a room, and it fills the room with sound far better, and the bass is night and day. Apple has always been a leader in acoustics, this product doesnt deviate.

    Bought two and it brings my apartment to life! We have about 800 sq feet in our apartment living room/kitchen combined and two of these speakers work together to elevate our overall entertainment needs.

    Upgraded to HomePod from Amazon Alexa

    I replaced my Amazon Alexa devices with the HomePod devices, and I couldn’t be happier. The sound quality is amazing on the HomePod. At first you want it to be a bit better for the price, but it seems to learn the space and adjust the sound quality and output based on the space overtime so it just keeps getting better. For voice commands it’s very good, as you would expect from Siri. Sometimes it doesn’t get things as correct as Amazon Alexa did. But overall 10 out of 10 would recommend. It does work with Apple, HomeKit, and all smart devices, which is great. I have hue lights everywhere, and I love being able to control them with my HomePod and just by asking Siri to adjust the lights by color Brightness , etc. I do hope Apple improves HomeKit capabilities, and Apple home as it is not terribly intuitive or useful. But that is not to do with the HomePod, which is great.

    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.

    This is the most seamless sound bar I have ever used for a smart tv or smart device. If you have an Apple TV it just……works. I mean, like right out of the box it wanted to setup and connect to my phone and Apple TV. It is fantastic.

    Overall, the Apple HomePod is a top-of-the-line smart speaker that delivers exceptional sound quality with clarity and rich bass. While it may be on the pricier side compared to other smart speakers, it offers a premium listening experience that is unmatched by many other devices on the market.

    This was my first time purchasing a HomePod and I am honestly impressed. Setup was super easy and it works seamlessly with Apple Music and the Apple ecosystem. Spatial Audio is immersive and sound quality and bass are great.

    I bought two of these to replace my home theater system as we wanted to have less clutter in the TV area. I put these two HomePods by the TV, and paired them up to work with our Apple TV 4K. The sound is great, and even better that it takes up very little space.

    After researching the different smart speaker options we choose the HomePod 2. Even though Siri is still behind Alexa the sound is great for our bedroom environment. We are confident Apple will catchup with Siri to provide a better experience in the near future.

    Spatial audio and Dolby Atmos speak for itself. Great for music, video playback. Would not recommend for studio monitor speakers because they can cut out for a sec here and thete but they are AirPlay and Bluetooth…so there ya go. Overall amazing bass and tight beamforming tweeters.

    Excellent sound quality, headaches in Spotify

    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.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
