    Love the sound. This will be my 4th pair of Homepods (besides several mini's). I can't tell any difference between them and the 1st gen Homepods.

    Really good sound quality and looks nice. Occasionally will lose connection and not be able to connect to my phone which can be frustrating.

    Honestly I have two of these. They sound really good, but the price still makes them hard to justify. Siri usually hears me, but my wife has an accent and she has a bit more trouble with it.

    Sounds amazing for its size. I am a audiophile have over 10k into a home theater. For a small office/ bedroom this has great sound and bass! Is perfect for certain use cases

    The HomePod 2nd Gen performs admirably, providing excellent sound quality and functionality. However, it occasionally struggles to sync properly, which can be frustrating. The intercom feature is a standout, offering a convenient way to communicate with family members throughout the home. That being said, it would be beneficial if the intercom feature was more intuitive and user-friendly. Despite these minor setbacks, the HomePod 2nd Gen remains a solid choice for those seeking high-quality audio and smart home integration.

    Ignore the reviews saying HomePod version 2, this version, doesn't sound as good as the 1st generation. This version sounds absolutely amazing. You won't be disappointed with the quality of the audio. Plus, the sometimes unpredictable and shaky AirPlay connectivity issues that were part of the 1st generation HomePod are GONE!. They have been completely resolved. I've never seen anybody write or talk about that issue. One more thing, if you have an Apple TV 4K, you can reliably pair the speaker with your Apple TV now. If you can afford it, get two speakers for a phenomenal sound experience.

    Have two of these as a stereo pair with my Apple TV. Sound great! Can really put out the bass if you want them to. Only wish is for more customization, but that’s with anything Apple.

    I bought this about a month ago without being able to see it work in the store, and let me tell you…WOW!! How happy i am with the sound and ability to use with my AppleTv. Made my sound bar almost seem obsolete.

    Replaced my sound-bar with the HomePod and it has been really good. The sound and the bass are top tier plus paired it with a few HomePod mini to have my bedroom with complete surround sound.

    Pros- Good sound, easy to hook up. Works well with Apple. I like the look of it. Cons-Needs two for good tv audio, Wont work with airpods mini and Tv. Cost its very expensive. And the fabric collects dust! Well I wouldn’t recommend this as the newer model is coming out soon.

    Awesome, but not as good as 1st gen HomePods

    The 2nd generation Apple HomePods are great speakers! However, they are not as good as their predecessor (1st gen HomePods). If the first HomePods are 100%, then these are somewhere between 85-90% as good. These speakers have two less tweeters (5 instead of 7), which affects the sound quality a little bit. The voices are very clear, but they sound as if they come out if the left speaker, as opposed to everywhere. Sometimes the speakers just stop playing. It only lasts for a few seconds, but it’s annoying because you have to start the song over at times. Also, Siri doesn’t hear you as well. Sometimes you have to speak loudly for Siri to hear you. Bottom line: these are excellent speakers, but they do have a few flaws.

    Excellent crystal clear sound out of the box with no tweaking…super easy setup. I do agree though that these are better when paired with another for stereo sound.

    Best purchase I’ve made in a while. The HomePod and HomeKit are the basis for my smart home setup. I also purchased an Ecobee Thermostat Premium from Best Buy. I’m so happy with the way everything integrated!

    100% worth the price. The sound and bass levels are incredible, and makes listening to music far better than other speakers I’ve used.
