    Not so great! Takes over so much space, and Siri hardly ever listens! She listens more to the tv when they say a similar name to Siri, always scaring me when that happens lol

    Blue I recently purchased the Apple HomePod (2nd Generation) Smart Speaker with Siri in Midnight and I am very impressed with it. The sound quality is excellent and it is very easy to use. The setup was a breeze and the voice recognition is spot on. I love that I can ask Siri to play music, set reminders, and answer questions. The sound is clear and the bass is deep and powerful. I also appreciate the fact that it is compatible with Apple Music and AirPlay 2, so I can stream my music from my iPhone or Mac. The design is sleek and modern and the midnight color is beautiful. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a high-quality smart speaker.

    Apple Home makes life easier during a tough time

    I recently bought an Apple Home, and it has been an absolute game-changer, especially right now while my wife is recovering and dealing with limited mobility due to a major bone infection. Having the ability to control lights, music, and other smart devices with just our voices has made things so much easier and more comfortable for her. It is convenient, reliable, and surprisingly intuitive to set up. Being able to ask Siri to play relaxing music, adjust the temperature, or even make calls hands-free has brought a sense of normalcy and independence to her daily routine. I am really grateful for how much it has helped us manage things around the house. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to make their home smarter and more accessible.

    Is it comparable to my $8k home theater sound system? Kind of. Of course this isn’t multichannel with in-ceiling speakers, but the dynamic range in this little package is mighty impressive. Just as a note, I bought two of these, to use in stereo mode, for my deck and my bedroom. They are extremely simple to move about. Treble notes are almost always good on these types of speakers. But, The lows are deep and heart thumping. The mid-range is rich and warm. The overall package is a clean, powerful, well-engineered package. I was honestly quite blown away by the power of this pair. My day starts a rocking when I kick up the music and work out, get a shower and dance my way into my attire for the day. These things are simply perfect for their size. I love having the smart speaker capability that doesn’t get in the way of beautiful, rich, clean sound! I’m not just “into the tech.” It is my job. I’m an IT Engineer and studied these things, up and down, before committing over, say the Sonos competitive offers. Yes, to many, other (perhaps cheaper) speakers. Will fit the bill. These are extremely reasonably priced for what you get. Especially if you use any steaming over Wi-Fi to like Apples” Dolby Atmos Lossless feed. I would recommend to anyone who genuinely appreciates quality sound, and is in the Apple Ecosystem.

    Really good sound, better than I expected

    bought this HomePod mainly for music at home and I didn’t expect it to sound this good. The bass is strong but not overwhelming, and vocals sound very clear. It easily fills the room even at lower volume. Setup was very easy with my iPhone and it worked right away. I like that it adjusts the sound automatically depending on where it’s placed. I haven’t had any connection issues so far. If you’re using Apple devices and want a simple speaker with great sound quality, this is a solid choice.

    I really love the sound quality that comes from the Apple HomePods, they really deliver exceptional sound and bass. The setup was extremely simple and fast with great intergration into Apple’s ecosystem within the Home app. I really love the look/design of the units as well. The reason for 3 stars is due to a failure of Apple’s software capabilities. I really am disappointed that you cannot set up surround sound capability with more than one speaker set (you can group two HomePods OR two HomePod Mini’s). I had originally purchased two HomePods and two HomePod Mini’s to setup my home theater, and it was a horrible connection process and link to my tv. The unit is great when working with an Apple TV only, but if you want to connect to any external unit that is connected to your tv it loses quality and lack of surround sound makes it very dull. If Apple really wants to up their game in this space to create an audio experience, they need to expand connection capabilities to more than just the Apple TV units, and allow for spatial audio with surround sound support across multiple speaker units.

    An Almost Quiet Revolution: The Apple HomePod 2 is an excellent sound for any use at a great price. The music aspect is full and has a dynamic quality -pleasing definition beyond expectations. It is easy to use and blends into nearly any home system. Best of all, using two for a stereo that is best defined as atmos-enabled surround sound makes for an expansive effect enhancing the pleasure of music, as well as television or movies. I recommend investing well by purchasing 1 or even 2 Apple second generation HomePods unconditionally. DD

    We now own two of the HomePod Gen 2 speakers, and they’ve completely changed the vibe of our home. The sound is incredibly rich, full, and balanced — deep bass, crystal-clear vocals, and it automatically adjusts to the acoustics of the room. Whether it’s for music, podcasts, or ambient sounds, the quality is unmatched. We use ours in different rooms, and the stereo pairing and whole-home audio features are fantastic. The integration with Siri, HomeKit, and the Apple ecosystem just makes everything feel effortless — from setting reminders to controlling smart devices with our voice. The design is sleek and blends beautifully into any room. You can tell it’s a premium product, both in looks and in performance.

    The Real HomePod is Finally Back

    I should start with saying I've been an audio enthusiast/nut for over 50 years. Semi Audiophile in fact. I have numerous upper and high end sound equipment in many rooms. I have been extremely pleased and amzed with original HomePods since first hearing a friends single play in a remote room. That lead me to do some research and I got a pair... when they just made stereo possible with an IOS update. As good as a single on its own sounds, I found a Stereo Pair is easily 10x+ better. And since these are a true omnidirectional point source, they project a very Full and open sound stage in stereo with all the music properly placed. My first pair quickly became 6 pair through the house. They coexist with the assorted high end stuff all over. The hig end gear now tends to collect dust vs play. HomePod's full sound plus voice or phone control with Apple Music is oh so easy. Now I play music so much more as I have renewed passion for music thanks the easy of use. No need to power on multiple devices and search for proper material on shelves or drawers to hear. Everything can be streamed and via WiFi vs compressed Blue Tooth. That makes a huge deference in sound quality. Especially with Apples lossless music. All in one higher end sound w/o all the addition gear, cords, software, and real-estate/furniture to place it all required. I just bought 1'st pair of Gen 2's, so now have 7 pair. I've been comparing OE vs Gen 2 as I break them in. Impressions so far are the differences are not huge. Gen 2 seems a bit more open and clean with a slightly tighter bass (IMHO). I'd say the OE's go just a tad lower, but the bass is not as tight. I was able to get low but measurable output with 20 Frequency generator on OE's ( gen 1). That was amazing for their size and drivers. Gen 2s' did same at about 30 Hz which is still very amazing and impressive. Gen ones are still grand & I Iove them. What I found to date with some varied source material -so far is- 60 % of the time I preferred the new Gen 2's, 30% the OE/Gen 1's, and 10% itr was a draw. DO NOT view HomePods as a pricey speaker. Pricey speakers require a lot of pricey gear to make them work. View HomePods as Complete upper end ALL IN ONE sound system package. Nothing but your iPhone and a music script required (which you already have)... preferably Apple Music as it's Lossless and can be voce controlled to the pod vs need an phone. You only need to plug it into an outlet & your done.

    Great sound as a pair for stereo HomePods for Dolby atmos but for the cost, a Sonos Arc or Arc Ultra beat it. Otherwise not bad. My frustration was they would disconnect from my Apple TV. It became a huge problem, so I returned them and bought a Sonos Arc Ultra.

    I love this speaker! The heaviness to it kind of hinted to me it would be good. For a little thing it has a sound better than most brands except for Bose. So I would say this is a slighter economic friendly choice than the Bose which I wish I could afford but we have a clown for a president. But the Apple will do for now. If you really dig in the settings you can do some good sound customization and the volume is plenty enough.

    We needed a sound solution for a summer camper. Buying a soundbar was not an option due to space considerations so we flipped a coin as to which “smart” speaker to get. (Admittedly a weighted coin since we have duplicates of every other thing in the Apple ecosystem.) We couldn’t be more pleased. Room filling bass (admittedly the room is in a camper so YMMV) and clear voice and sound effect reproduction. Even got my audio from my PS5 to come through with next to no effort. We are already contemplating a stereo pair of these and couldn’t be happier.
