    First Time Being Disappointed With Apple Products

    As I read through all the glowing reviews, I felt guilty about writing a review leaving only two stars for the Apple Home Pods 2nd Generation. I generally love Apple Products. I bought an iMac this year and previously owned another Apple iMac for 10 years. I really wanted to love these. And my review is coming after a month or so of trying to correct the issues that I'm having. The Home Pods, first of all, and according to my understanding, only work with Apple related products. But unfortunately, for my setup, they don't even work well with Apple products. I have an iMac running Ventura. They connect maybe about 40% of the time and during that 40% of time playing, there is constant loud interference, cutting out, and playing out of sync (I bought two). I have chatted with customer support and tried to make my way through chat rooms of other people having the same problems. As of yet, I'm still severely disappointed with these. The sound is great when they work. How I wish they would run smoothly. I bought two speakers on Amazon (non-Apple related) as a stereo pair. They never cut out, make weird noises, or play out of sync. And for two of them, they were less money that one of these. The sound isn't quite as good as on these HomePod speakers, but the sound is not bad at all.

    So much sound in a little package. I bought two of HomePods for stereo sound and they sound louder together. I use them as my Mac computer speakers. The only issue is there is a small delay, but the Mac is able to compensate well. Overall I don’t regret buying them over other speakers for my use case.

    If you know apple, you know the product to be quality. In this speaker category, the sound is quality. Siri speech recognition is good. I don’t use this for much other than music, so can’t speak to its other uses.

    I was so relieved when Apple brought back the original size HomePod. I didn’t trust aftermarket sights for authenticity and purchased mine from the premier store for electronics, Best Buy. The HomePod is a superior smart speaker and I use it on a daily basis. I’m considering additional purchases for other locations in my home and will likely start with two more for surround sound purposes in the living room. Thank you Apple and Best Buy!!!

    Great quality but the HomeKit software would not connect to my existing home automation devices, which are HomeKit compatible. Over time I think this will becoming a more stable home automation platform, at the time of this purchase it was not.

    Excellent speaker, great sound output! Simple, connection! Would obviously sound best with 2 HomePods for best surround sound experience! Great price, quality made, definitely worth it. Only purchased one , I will buy a 2nd to pair for greater sound, will turn up the volume just to test! I should have bought this as a pair first time I purchased online. Service at this Montclair store was Professional , knowledgeable, very helpful!
