    The Apple HomePod system is much better than Amazon's Echo system. We no longer get random advertisements shouted at us in the middle of the night. The audio performance, even on the HomePod Mini, is very good. I like being able to play music throughout the house and have it sound good. I have two of the large HomePods paired with an AppleTV and connected to the HDMI-ARC on the TV so even other connected devices play their audio through the speakers.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Wonderful smart speaker, especially for Apple content and even EARC audio from your TV through the Apple TV, it's the only bedroom audio setup I need!

    This is my 2nd HomePod Speaker. The sound quality is excellent and I use these to add to my whole house music system. Is it pricey? Yes, but I feel like I have a quality product.

    The sound is great for its size. Siri while not the best does a good job at picking up your voice. Even at max volume.

    I’ve been obsessed with the HomePod since it’s first release and own three of the originals. The new version does have better sound quality which was to be expected. I also like how the newer versions is actually black verses the dark gray. I use them as speakers for my living room television and i love how i can pump sound throughout my entire unit by connecting all of my HomePods to whatever i am playing. I never miss a beat no matter what floor or room I’m in.
