Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great sounding little speaker but of course I have a wish list: detachable cable AUX/3.5mm in an app where I can use tone controls, toggle button for my default music service (or introduce HiRes into Apple Music to compel me to switch)

We love there. Tiny and very powerful! Having more than one adds to the surround sound experience. Very nice.

Way more bass and range than I expected. Not as satisfying as my original HomePod but the price was much less and therefore a reasonable value.

This small speaker is awesome! It is small in size, but it puts out a BIG sound! I love it!

Setup process was smooth and it works great with other Apple products! Sound quality is excellent for the price.

great device. of course, i purchased between the best buy deals which sucks. and it's probably why i rarely purchase from best buy. $20 these days is big when lunatics are running the country. price went down right after the return window. great job best buy, that's why you're failing.

Love how my wife intercoms me from the kitchen when I’m in the bed room. Also used for turning on lights, tv’s, and playing music.

I’m an Apple user through and through so, homepods (I bought two on sale) make sense for me. My wife and I have iPhones, Apple TV’s throughout the house, iPads and Apple watches. Ahem! Apple... you got us. So, homepods make sense for us compared to other smart speakers for that reason among others. I happen to like Apple’s privacy policies better than googles or anyone else’s. If you’re going to have these devices in your home “listening” to you all the time, I prefer that they’re Apple devices. I bought two of them and connected them as a stereo pair in our living room and they do sound pretty dang good. I have an actual stereo/hifi multichannel systems upstairs in my theater room. The homepods certainly can’t match the stereo imaging/sound of that system but, with careful, precise placement, they do offer good stereo imaging and sound. Not great, not spectacular, but good for what they are which are small smart speakers after all so, expectations in check. For their size/weight they sound very impressive and even at very high volume they don’t sound at all stressed. I first tried a single homepod but as our living room is medium to large in size and open to the kitchen/dining area, it didn’t fill the space as I had hoped. Set up as a stereo pair fixed that problem and I can hear them pretty much anywhere in our home. They’re very even sounding with no real peaks or dips overall. They just sound good. The Siri function works perfectly almost every time too. Siri’s well known limitations compared to other virtual assistants not withstanding. We subscribe to Apple Music (naturally) and that service works perfectly via the homepods. As we’re “Apple people”, they work for us and we’re quite happy with them especially as we picked up two of them at a substantial discount while on sale. Back to stereo for a sec, I have noticed that they can sound great with “audiophile” tracks. YouTube is not an audiophile streaming service, but when I play audiophile quality music from YouTube there is an improvement in airiness, delicacy and separation and vocals sound better too. So, they can sound very good on certain high quality tracks even over less than audiophile quality streaming services like YouTube. The homepods are smaller than I thought (or remember) but pack a solid punch in sound quality. Great product and we’re happy with them. Now, let’s hope Siri gets a huge update to finally bring it up to par with the other virtual assistants.

Excellent for my office! I love this little pod, great sound as well

Great bedroom speaker. Works flawlessly with iPhone. Easy to setup. Also works with my bandcamp app very well.

Sound quality is a bit lacking compared to other similarly priced smart speakers. Recommended for smaller rooms. I got it since I have HomeKit enabled devices where this can be used for voice controls. Wish it was priced a bit lower...

Blue color tone goes so well with the plants around the sgelf and blends in vwry well. Love it

Sound is better than expected, BUT if you use Spotify as your music streaming service, you will have to manually control it from your phone and experience a delay with pausing, skipping songs, etc.

The speaker is easy to connect to using my iphone. Good sound quality.

I have no idea how this size speaker delivers such great sound quality. Its such a great product, my wife wants more of these for a smart home set. I will probably do so.

I wanted an assistant that could integrate with the smart lightning/devices around the house. But, I also wanted the assistant to not keep my audio in the cloud somewhere where the company/third party contractors/etc could listen to it also. The only choice for such an assistant so far is the HomePod, since as long as you opt out, Apple will not keep your audio in the cloud. I wasn't expecting much, since I've had Alexa's and Google Home around the house before and they both didn't work terribly great. However, the HomePod is remarkably better at listening to the "Hey Siri" command from everyone (from adults to children) in my household. This is even when the HomePod is playing music. I used to have multiple Google Homes dispersed throughout the house because Google just couldn't hear the "Hey Google" command very well. But now I just have one HomePod in the center of the house that can be used from nearly anywhere in the house. I don't enjoy the price as much and hope that come out with cheaper version of Siri speakers.

Sond is amaizing, all work perfectly. Black color is just waht I need in my livingroom.

Needed a homepod to go with my apple smart outlets. Very useful to use with the homekit ecosystem. The sound is solid for such a small speaker.

The sound is incredible! And once again, another piece of the Apple ecosystem that works incredibly well. I'm tempted to get the full size HomePod just out of curiosity.

Great product to run your Home app from. Easy to set up and “just works”.
