    I thought it was going to be louder and better then what it was. My expectations were just way to high for this apple product. Open box was a good price though

    My wife loves the speakers we put in her office. She actually leaves me alone and sings all day. I will buy one a week if this continues.

    Love how it can tell the temperature in the room and humidity. As usual Apple doesn’t really give you any solid directions.

    Disappointed with Open Box HomePods from BestBuy

    I've learned not to buy open box electronics from BestBuy as I purchased two of these for my 5th wheel camper to play in conjunction with Apple 4K TV. They were still set up from the previous owners (driven by WiFi, not Blue Tooth) and when I called BestBuy for assistance, they wanted $149 to help me. Eventually I figured out how to reset them but never could get them to work so I returned them. I guessing they were returned because they didn't work from the beginning - far from certified. I purchased two new Apple HomePod Minis and they immediately set up.

    They are "OK" as for sound quality I find the equivalent Alexa speaker to have better sound. I have a first gen also and the 2 don't play well together.
