    Overall the HomePod second generation is a great speaker system, especially when paired with another for stereo sound. Unfortunately, the specific unit that I purchased from Best Buy had a problem with the operating system, and I had to return it as it could not be set up, and Apple couldn't fix it without returning the product to them. That was more of APPLE's problem than Best Buy's. Got another one, and it works great and paired well with the existing HomePod I had.

    I have just moved from Android to the world of Apple, and have never used voice commands on any device but this has made the transition seemless ... and I now love having a little information servant. It's a great time saver!

    Bought this open box and it has worked perfectly. Started my smart home with it as the main hub. No problems. The sound was lacking highs to my ears and sounded muddled. Thought about returning it. Put my hearing aids in and it sounds fantastic for such a small little device. I can’t think of one complaint. Works seamlessly.

    It has great sound and great features, sometimes it doesn't fully work as intended but plugging it off and on again will reboot it.

    An excellent smart speaker when paired with a second to create a stereo pair. When used as your audio output from an AppleTV the pair will support Dolby Atmos spatial sound if the streaming content has it available. The 2nd Gen HomePod also works as a Thread border router, allowing you to add Matter compatible devices to your home automation network. The HomePod also includes a temperature and humidity sensor. And of course, it works with Siri.

    It's Apple so it's probably great but overpriced.

    I know there's been many glowing reviews of the new HomePod and some not as glowing. Here are my thoughts, the sound is great, there' a solid bass sound out of it. The form factor is nice, it's smaller than a device like the Echo Studio. The built in Tenmp/Humidity sensors are a nice addition. It has that solid Apple build look and quality to it. Now, would I add a second for stereo sound, probably not. For the price of two I'd go for something like the Sonos Arc which I think has better overall quality and sound. The ability to have two HomePods connected to an Apple TV is a great option, but again at that price I think Sonos would be better for a few dollars more. Plus, if you use them for TV sound you're stuck always being in the Apple universe for all your TV watching. The other issue at least for me, Apple doesn't integrate with SiriusXM or Spotify, to start either of those services you'll need to go to your device and can't simply say "Hey Siri play Spotify/Play Yacht Rock on SiriusXM" If you're in love with Apple, you'll of course love this, if you're familiar with many of the other smart speaker options, I am not sure you'll see that big of a difference for the cost. (now if it dropped by $50 I think it'd be the ideal price point) I would recommend it for those deeply into the Apple Ecosystem/Apple Home setup. If you're not and more in the Nest/Echo ecosystem then you may be disappointed.

    I owned the first generation of the HomePod and was pleased with the quality of sound. Decided to upgrade to the newer one and haven’t regretted the decision. Apple has made some great improvements and the sound quality has only gotten better

    I am very impressed by how well this speaker sounds. I love how well it is integrated into the apple ecosystem and using it with an Apple TV even allows me to pass through the sound from other devices connected to my tv. Would definitely recommend a stereo pair.

    I consider myself an audiophile; I enjoy hearing music (and especially motivating my work day) with an ambient feel that I can sense the "woof" of it and the sweep. I only purchased one Apple HomePod for my office and it does a great job of filling the space and enhancing the atmosphere. I intend on purchasing a second one (when it becomes conducive) in order to create a stereo experience for watching movies.
