Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased the HomePod for my Apple Music listening pleasure and the sound is great. I just wish I would have bought the HomePod sooner.

There are a lot of reviews out there so I will focus on the one thing I liked and the three things that made me return the Homepod. The one thing I like about the Homepod is that it can really fill a room. And unlike my Sonos, the music sounds the same almost anywhere in the room. With the Sonos, it's best to stand in from of the speaker. Unfortunately, this is the only pro of the Homepod for me. I purchased the Homepod to see if the sound was as good as people say. The sound quality is good but I hate the balance. WAY TOO MUCH BASS!! It's all bass, a little bit of highs and very little mediums. A lot of people like a lot of bass but this is ridiculous. Lows travel well through walls so it quickly becomes annoying for other people in the house and/or neighbors. As a result you're force to listen at very low volume. My second issue is the lack of access to other music services. I knew it going in but it's more annoying than I expected. You can use Airplay but it is laggy and what's the point of paying $350 for a speaker if you cannot use voice control. The last thing that bothered me is the color. The speaker is not really white. The mesh fabric is but the plastic cylinder under is black which make the Homepod look greyish. Overall a big $350 disappointment.

I won 4 HomePods because they are the absolute best audio in this class of speaker. Don't listen to the naysayers; get the best!

Great sound. I already have the black one now I can use both for parties or have one in the living room and one in the bedroom

It should show the time like the Amazon Pod does! 

The speaker sounds great but Siri is dumb but that can always be fixed by a software update.

It's a fine speaker, if you can get it to work. Siri is way more frustrating to use than the other voice assistants. The ability to use HomePod as a HomeKit hub sounds great but hasn't actually been useful to me because HomeKit is so riddled with issues that I just have to use the accessory makers' apps to actually control anything reliably.

Great sound. That is where it ends. 1. can only set up with one iphone and so only ONE user 2. Not really integrated with anything (cannot play Pandora or spotify etc) 3. Took 2 hours to get my iphone set up with it (because i also have kids on my icloud account and it was confused) 4. you CANNOT move the homepod to a different place in the house easily if it has a different access point or router name 5. NO BLUETOOTH! so you cannot simply stream music in the yard or garage outside of wifi range. CANNOT TAKE TO BEACH OR PARK 6. THis is an Alexa (echo) knock off with far fewer features. 7. You cannot use it without giving your credit card, creating apple keychain, etc. (you do not need any of that with Alexa) 8 This is NOT A BLUETOOTH SPEAKER (too bad). 9. It is very pricey and demands that you stay in the "apple ecosystem" (that is fancy wording for if it "ain't apple then we do not talk to it" You can play Apple music by command and that is about it. I have the greatest respect for the (late) Steve Jobs and I do not think that he would have released this product in this way. I only bought it as I thought it was a bluetooth speaker. I already have an Echo. I have no use for this. Very expensive mistake.

Hands down best sound/ i have two paired and just love the sound

The Homepod is a great sounding smart speaker that works perfectly with my homekit devices and apple music subscription.

Are you debating whether to buy an Apple HomePod mini or an Amazon echo dot? We are currently big-time Apple users. However, I would not recommend the Apple HomePod mini. The stereo function worked for one week before it quit. Timers no longer work and handoff from our iPhones works occasionally. We also have the echo dots and never had an issue with any of them. Love the dots over the HomePod mini.

Love it! It sound amazing, here can hear me from other room and understands my accent pretty well. Great addition !

I purchased one a while back and placed it near a wall and it sounded great. I moved in a central area with no walls and the sound was disappointing. I purchased a second one and placed it in the same central area and the sound gave me chills. It was soooo good. Bottom line is you need two or more. I purchased one for regular price but got the second one for $250. I think it is over priced since you have to get 2 of them for great sound. This item also worked on Netflix.

Apple has done it again! Great sound, incredibly easy hook up and fun entertainment. Amazed by this product!

I have been an Amazon user for years and have an assortment of eight echos, dots, shows, flexes, spots and dots. Due to loving my ipad pro and macbook pro, i tried to make the switch to Apple Home. So far nothing but headaches, glitches, and errors. Siri can rarely, if ever, communicate with my Hue bridge. Loses lights DAILY. Apple music connection is a 50/50 shot but sort of irrelevant since the sound quality on this device (and i wasnt expecting MUCH) is so bad it literally hurts my ears and causes headaches at any audible level. The fact that Apple put their name on this low-end Alexa knock-off and put a $100 price tag on it (maybe worth $15 tops) gives me serious concerns about ever making a full transition to the ecosystem. EPIC FAIL.

Disappointing. Homepod siri never knows my location when asked a question or understands English. For example, Q: What's the temp? A: I don't know your location Q: What's the temp in Bradenton, FL? A: The temp is Tallahassee, FL is 62. I ditched HomePod mini for Amazon, Alexa echo and it works beautifully.

Great speaker. Easy to use and sounds better than bose

It worked well until it started death-popping and had no bass. I had to get it repaired by a 3rd party as it was just outside warranty. I expect more from an Apple product.

This speaker sounds good and out of the box, it connected flawlessly. Then it disconnected. Then again. Then again. I've had to unplug and run set up three times now. And I see from others trying to troubleshoot this online that my case is not isolated.

I love my iPhone, but I also love Spotify as my preferred streaming platform. So if you're like me, do yourself a favour and DO NOT BUY THE HOMEPOD MIN. First, to connect the Homepod is a strugglebus of immense proportions. You can't just enable the device via bluetooth (like 99.99% of speakers) and press play. I have to turn on the speaker (if it's not already), ensure the phone and speaker are on the same wifi network, open Spotify and then click on Current Device/AirPlay or Bluetooth and then select the Homepod -- and then takes upwards of 5-10 seconds to even connect and start playing! Then when listening to music, the music cuts out/briefly pauses REPEATEDLY which is soooooo annoying.
