Customer Ratings & Reviews

I live in a condo complex, so it’s a bit challenging to find the balance between decent sound and pounding bass that will make the neighbors angry. These seem to achieve that balance. I have 2 of them set up as a stereo pair, they sound great and I haven’t heard any complaints from the adjacent units! I do use these at a pretty reasonable (low) sound level though, so don’t think that you can crank up the volume with the same results, I definitely COULD make the sound heard by my neighbors..

I was admittedly a little skeptical when purchasing the HomePod, as the price is a lot to spend. However, I am very happy I made the plunge. The thing that surprises me most is just how much punch this little thing can pack. Is it the same level as a home sound system? No. However, it can fill my dorm room with enough sound to make your teeth rattle at times. I normally keep it at 60% volume but there is still plenty of untapped power left. TL:DR - Great sounding speaker, excellent low end sounds, but a fairly hefty price tag for a single speaker.

Incredible sound for the size. You won't believe what Apple can do in such a tiny package. The only issue is that to use Spotify, you have to use AirPlay. But from what I understand, the issue is not on Apple's side, but theirs. For a C-note, you won't get better sound than this. Plus, I trust Apple with my home conversations and privacy more than the other smart assistants. Yes, Siri isn't as good as the others, but it allows me to do most of what I want, including controlling my smart home.

Apple has done amazing job with privacy and the integration of my current ecosystem of an all apple household. Love that I can turn my tv on and off with my Apple TV. My favorite feature is the intercom.

I really like this speaker. The sound is as good as anything else at this price point and is as strong as any for a smart speaker. Set up is easy using an iPhone (more on that in a second), and it does what you need it to do. It also has a small profile. I would recommend getting two of these as opposed to one of the main HomePod, as these can go anywhere and provide great sound. The one downside I've experienced so far is that Siri takes longer to fulfill requests and commands on my home network. Other smart speakers are snappy and quick but the HomePod will often tell me to "hang on." Again as other smart speakers on my network respond better it's probably with the unit but hopefully this will be addressed on a future software upgrade. The other thing is that buying this speaker will cement users further in the Apple ecosystem. I would not recommend anyone use this with an Android or non-iOS device. That said if you are an iOS fan, by all means. As time goes on I am sure I will discover other uses for this but for now it's a very good and promising unit.

I bought this for my sister. She really loves it. She used it more often than before.

We own 6 HomePods and use them as speakers for all of our TVs. They connect seamlessly with our Apple TVs. You can also pair them together to get a more full sound.

I love it, just what I was looking for, I have it in the kitchen currently corner, you can’t see it but the sound is wonderful.

I gifted this for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loves it! He gifted me one for my birthday this year and needless to say its amazing. The setup process is fairly quick. I use this almost everyday to play music. When it comes to setting an alarm, I need it to be LOUD and sometimes setting an alarm on my phone isn't enough lol so having the homepod and the volume it emits has been great! I definitely recommend investing in a homepod in your living space.

Small but mighty this thing sounds great and perfect for listening to music while cooking in the kitchen.

The only problem I have with this speaker is Siri. Which may seem like a big deal, but for the most part I try not to use her. Siri can do the basics so its not always noticeable but anything beyond that she is very useless.

The HomePod mini has excellent sound quality and is very responsive with Siri. It integrates seamlessly with HomeKit. When I paired it to my other HomePods it created a whole home sound system second to none.

Excellent addition to my home. Works great “hey Siri play some pop music”, “hey Siri play the song that goes like ‘somebody once told me the world was gonna roll me’” etc Room to room intercom feature is very helpful

This speaker has great sound and great volume. I used it in a public event where the space was acoustically "hot" with solid walls, floor, ceiling. The space was about 70' x 150' in size. The HomePod speaker automatically adjusted sound output for the placement and acoustics. It also was able to play a loud and pleasant sound to fill the room. It did a better job than the speakers mounted on the front wall of the space. It works well with or without Apple Music.

I bought this for a very specific purpose: to enable an elderly person with cognitive difficulties to listen to the classical music she loves. When it’s paired with her iPad and Apple Music, all she has to do is say, “Hey, Siri, play Beethoven,” and it does. It also happens to be beautifully designed and deliver remarkably good sound quality for something so small, but that doesn’t really matter in this case. What does matter is that, as Apple used to say in its advertising, it just works. And that makes it well worth the admittedly high price.

Installation is easy, just have your iPhone close and i will configure it quickly and you can being telling Siri what music to play or what information on various subjects you request. Its been a good addition to the Home, it readily controls the HomeKit Devices I have installed as well, plus the rest of the family has been using it as well to play their music or get weather, sports etc. While its not perfect, and nothing ever is, it works well, sounds great, and I believe that its more secure than other devices, plus Apple's privacy policies I think are far better than the competition in keeping things secure.

I bought a pair of these to try in a stereo setup. Syncing them with my phone was as smooth as expected. They worked wonderfully with Apple Music. Very impressed with Siri voice command; in particular their ability to hear commands even when speaking quietly while they are playing at high volumes. The sound was much better than I’d hoped- decent highs and a surprising amount of low end for their size. I came very close to keeping them. Ultimately they went back because I was looking for a pair of speakers that would elevate the music a bit more for critical listening. For the casual listener who has an Apple Music subscription, however, they are hard to beat in terms of simplicity, access to music, and yes, the sound as well. I’d be happy to have one (or two) down the road for a second or third audio zone.

It’s No Secret That Siri Doesn’t Stack Up Well Against Alexa Or Google Assistant, But I Think For The Average Joe Who Listens To Music (Apple Music Mainly) Will Love The HomePod. It’s Bassy, Balanced Sound Is Just Enough. This Speaker Is Small, But Packs All The Punch, Kick Or Whatever You’re Into To WOW You. Simply Put If You’re An Avid Apple Music Listener This Will Work Well With Your Current Set Up And With AirPlay 2 It’s Even Better. My Current TV Is Trash So I Use My HomePod W/ My APPLE TV And AirPlay Through It. To Get The Best Sound Possible. I Love This Thing May Get Another To Unlock Stereo Surround Sound.

These are pretty nice setups. I purchased four to replace two first generation HomePods. I like that the Mini’s can be paired into stereo mode, but I’m disappointed that Bluetooth isn’t available as a connection option. ITT seems if ever a device would benefit from Bluetooth streaming, it would be the Mini.

The Apple Homepod has excellent sound. I’m not a speaker expert but the sound on this speaker is great! You do need to place it in a good spot to get the best sound (not obstructed by too many things on a counter or shelf). I got it on sale for $200 and definitely worth it. I also like that they don’t make money off of my voice commands, unlike other speakers... Also very easy to install. Literally plug it and my iPhone detected it automatically.
