Customer Ratings & Reviews

Sonically, beautiful-but totally unable to hook up. I spent over 7hrs with Apple support to no avail.I returned the product to Best Buy.

Sound is alright...sounds better at lower volumes honestly but if you crank it up it the bass bottoms out really easily and sound quality tanks. Honestly not very impressed with the sound for the price. Spend the same-ish amount and get the Sonos Era 300 instead. The only cool "party trick" is being able to hand off sound from the phone to the HomePod by just hovering slightly above it. Other than that, it's really not all that exciting and the spacial sound is mediocre at best.

Gen 1- made for music lovers. Gen 2- made for music subscribers. All you need to know ^

I tried to pair 2 of these for a wireless home theater setup, but the sound quality wasn’t quite there. Even at full volume, wasn’t as loud as I expected. I tried all different settings, but just sounded hollow. I went back to my old standby for a home theater setup, and was more of what I was looking for. Homepods just did not have enough bass. They are likely good in a smaller space or simply for music. Although, I still prefer other products for music from a sound quality perspective.

Great speakers but when i opened the box it had a moldy smell

Sound volume seems muted. Bass is okay but seems to lose a lot of high end fidelity. I’m an Apple user but this is disappointing.

Not as loud as I would think. I have the home pod mini and there is not a huge difference on the sound.

the movies are heard well, the music is not, it sucks, also to activate dolby atmos you have to have 2 speakers.

Sound isnt impressive. Decided to keep current cheap soundbar that sounded better.

I purchased a pair to go along with homepod mini pair. They don’t connect with mini homepod for surround and bass was very bad.

Hard to use not consistent volume sound. Have trouble connection to devices

Too much bass. Mids are scooped. I found out the only way to reduce the bass is to turn it off completely in the home app!! That’s stupid. Why doesn’t Apple let us have a basic EQ capability in the music or home app to tailor the sound better? I bought two of these, wish I could return them. Waste of lots of money. My mini HomePods sound just as good.

Sound quality is not as good as last generation, owing to two less speakers. Siri processing information and dictation is worse than ever. Do NOT recommend. Wait for the next gen. These devices use the Apple Watch processors, and the Apple Watch just released can process siri dictation on device. HomePods will get that eventually. Don't buy before that.

On paper this was exactly what I needed. Until I heard it. I know most wireless speaker systems add signal processing to help the audio “fit” their speaker better. This was horrible. Low end was way over powering. Top end was thin and distorted even at low volumes. I’ll put it this way. You will get better sound quality out of a Wonderboom 3. Which I returned it for. I’ve never returned an Apple device in the 20 years I’ve been a customer. Swing and a miss…

This sounds like any other speaker, nothing special to be honest. I liked the first generation. IJS.

No me deja conectar con Spotify, “oye siri reproduce mi playlist en Spotify” no funciona.

Waste of money. It’s odd to set up and sounds terrible.

Not quite what I was expecting. I should have read more about the product

It really did not work to my needs. All it does it play music, check weather. If you need it to do more, you need to buy more from apple. It's just too much for the price. Sometimes it would not listen when I would ask it to shut off.

Best Buy has a huge quality control issue with their open box items. The HomePod that was in the box had a different serial # than what is printed on the box. Makes service and returns impossible to get.
