    A pair of these in stereo mode displaced a nice soundbar and subwoofer system from a German brand I really liked. I've found them to work more reliably with my TV and the sound is fantastic. No more subwoofer taking up space in the corner of the room. These are a no-brainer if you already have an investment in the Apple ecosystem.

    Offers very balanced, high fidelity sound. Better than the Gen 1 product I used to have. The set up with an Apple product is very easy. Just hold your iOS product nearby and boom it’s paired. Just two criticisms; every once in a while AirPlay 2 does lose its connection but it’s easy to reconnect and then it works fine and it doesn’t play as loud as my Denton 150 speaker. Deign is classy looking and it’s well constructed.

    These things are superb. They are not audiophile quality, but they are next door to it. If you like music, and are in the Apple paradigm at all, these are great. If you don’t have a surround system to go with your Apple TV and can’t a serious upgrade to your tv sound, get two and be amazed as they also do stereo pairing and produce Dolby Atmos

    Was hoping for better

    My goal with the HomePod2 was to fill a small studio apartment with room filling ambient sound. Unfortunately, the HomePod2 failed in a number of ways. First, the sound of the speaker is too bright for me. Yes, the base is strong and present, but it is too tight and precise for me, also the mids and vocals seem too bright and artificially present. Second, with one HomePod2 the sound has a wide sound stage, but it still feels like a point source. With two HomePods in mono the sound was just too overwhelmingly bright even at low volumes. Something about the way the audio is being processed made listening uncomfortable. Third, when used as a stereo pair, the sound is very impressive and immersive when listening in the sweet spot, but not so great for general walking around. For all that I had heard about the HomePod having immersive room filling sound, I was not impressed. So I returned one and kept the other. I now use the single HomePod2 to augment my existing setup of three other competitive WiFi Airplay speakers. The auto audio adjustment feature of the HomePod2 works well to "fill in" for the lack of mid range vocal brightness of my other 3 speakers and enhances the room filling ambient effect I'm trying to create. AirPlay enables all my speakers to play in synchrony, two operating as a stereo pair, and two working in mono. However AirPlay can be frustrating at times because it is still slow to initiate and glitchy at times. With all the money Apple can apply to product and software development, both AirPlay and the HomePod2 should be better.

    Great Companion to Apple TV

    I bought 2 to connect to the latest AppleTV and have used them for about a year. Overall, they work and sound great. There are no issues with connections, and they play when they should. The spatial audio is pretty impressive but does require walls on each side of you to bounce the sound waves. I have noticed that the apple music encoded for ATMOS is noticeably quieter on these speakers.

    Great sound. Paired up to use for TV. Interface with appleTV is great. Fortunately there is a base reduction setting, or might be more than you want.

    Create a Stereo Pair and this becomes magical!

    The only real downside is that you're limited to Siri and the Apple ecosystem, but if you don't rely on Google or Alexa, and own other Apple devices, then this is a great smart speaker, but it seriously turns into something else when you create a stereo pair. I feel it's better than the near $1K Sony Dolby Atmos Surround Sound Bar system I have in the other room.

    Apple Home pod

    Nothing special! The Good: Listening to music from a phone is ok overall It has great bass and ok on the rest The bad: Tv audio and Apple home is absolutely disappointing experience Home pod needs updates in Apple home to start using pod It takes all day for this thing to setup 9 hours to update and the pod didn’t show up after update After a second try and 9 more hours updating it finally show up in devices. Tv speakers are as good on every thing but the bass it is very frustrating to use for tv audio If your on the fence about this then I would suggest checking out the new Samsung music frame Much better for around same price Home pod is outside in my gardening shed now
