Customer Ratings & Reviews

Sound quality is on point, however, when I airplay to it, it will only play 3 songs and then stop. I use Spotify since I work for them so it won’t sync account wise. Kinda pointless speaker.

I have a HomePod mini. I added a second mini for stereo. It worked great for several weeks then started dropping sync. Neither Apple nor myself can get them to stay synced. A single mini works great, stereo not so much.

I got this as a gift for a family member that has all apple products. Seems to like it. I have Google Home setup in my house so no need for this Apple product since it does the same. Th are very convenient to use though.

I have two of these in my home. I own many Apple products so it makes sense I would have this product as well. Also, I do subscribe to Apple Music. It's a beautifully design product and the sound is amazing. However, it's UI is still a little buggy at times and most recently wifi connectivity issues have started up. It may very well be my AT&T internet but all other non-apple device's (expect for Amazon Echo) work without any issues. I believe it has something to do with the 2.4 vs. 5 ghz. dual band technology. Apple products seem to bounce around back and forth resulting in lost connection. I'm forced to unplug and reset and it's becoming annoying. This also happens to the Amazon device.

So glad that I did not believe some of the negative reviews. I love this thing! Understand, I am in the Apple ecosystem. I have approx. 40 GB of music ripped to my iTunes library, and music purchased from Apple. All of it is in the iCloud. I also subscribe to Apple music. That said.....The sound is outstanding. Set up was so easy. (I'm mid-60's, so often new tech stuff can carry quite the set-up time for me.) 2 minutes and I was rockin out. I can play all of my music, even stuff not on Apple Music, although I read you can't do that. I specifically asked Siri to play an album that I knew was not on Apple Music, and it worked. Perhaps because it is in the cloud. Bottom line, I'm diggin it!

Product appears larger online. Great color, great functionality, and great price. I do not recommend buying this product if you do not have an iPhone. You get more out of it if you do. The name says it all "mini". The sound is ok, but recommended to use in a small room.

While I will typically jump on the Apple product bandwagon no matter what the item is, I was a little leery of getting the HomePod when it originally was released. The price was high and it just didn't make sense to me that I needed something like this since I had other Bluetooth speakers. I started having problems with my Apple HomeKit items so I ended up getting this HomePod for the purpose of using it as a hub. It has worked perfectly well for this purpose and it's been great when we've had people over at our house, too. I can't recommend the HomePod enough. The speaker is top notch and the HomePod has not failed once in controlling our HomeKit products.

got this as a gift for my boyfriend. he loves it and the quality and volume of the speaker is great! it is a lot bigger than i expected, but it’s not too big.

You need to get this on sale. It is crazy expensive. That being said it has great sound. It vibrates the surface it sits on to produce bass not expected of such a small speaker. Great for a room.

This is a great little device. We use it often, our only problem is that sometimes it just stops playing music without warning. I’m not sure if that’s common or if there’s a reason, like maybe it’s too far from the router or needs an update. The siri function doesn’t work nearly as well as the other big brands.

I've been using this for 2 months now and I love it. We had a couple Google Home's before the HomePod and Google Assistant was definitely more capable than Siri, but for my use case, Siri works great. I can quickly play music, podcasts and get basic info. I like that I can AirPlay from my Mac or iPhone as well. Sound quality is excellent. I have a pair of Sonos One SL speakers and the HomePod is slightly better. It sounds great and keeps getting better. Highly recommended.

I have a smart home which means I use Siri constantly. The HomePod is so great at hearing my requests even when I'm in another room (sometimes a little too good) so using it to control my lights, thermostat etc, is super easy. It sounds top notch, lots of bass and mids for such a small speaker. Sounds much better than Alexa and Google home (both of which I have also tried. For the price it sounds amazing and I would compare it to my $699 "dumb" speaker from Bang and Olufsen.

Great as sound quality only lacks connectivity Also if you are willing to hookup with tv you need to buy apple tv to have airplay 2. For getting stereo sound you need two homepods. Lacks bluetooth and optical connectivity.

I love how the HomePod sounds. If you're in the apple universe it's worth getting. It's a bit overpriced at $350 so when it went on sale for $250 I got another one to pair up in stereo.

This speaker sounds amazing from any location in my apartment. Siri also performs better than expected. I love the ability to have her play the recent news from NPR and albums off of Apple Music.

Picked this up for an event that I was having outside and it was easy to set up the blue tooth, used my iphone and played music throughout the night! The sound was fantastic and carried out perfectly even though it was close to an outlet so there wasn't a lot of mobility on where you could place it. Now it is by home entertainment center and I play music from time to time. The Hey Siri function works great and the music sounds great in any part of the home. Another benefit is that I have it on a glass side table which I thought wouldn't sound so great but there is no change when placing it on a glass versus something like a hardwood table. Happy with the purchase!

As far as digital assistants go, Siri often gets dogged compared to Google and Amazon. Part of Siri’s limitation though, is Apple protecting your privacy a bit better than the other players. I can say that Siri is the only one smart enough to know what room it is in. You say “turn off the lights,” and it knows enough to turn off the room lights it is assigned to. As a speaker, none of the other devices are even close. HomePod fills a large room and actually sounds good.

Awesome sound quality for the price! Only issue is that outside of speaking directly to Siri or touching the touchscreen on the top of the HomePod, the song / playlist selection, and pause / play / track skipping using your iPhone is absolutely NOT intuitive. If you start playing music on your iPhone using the Music app and bring your iPhone close to the HomePod, the music resumes playing on the HomePod like magic. You then go to the music app to pause audio or adjust volume or change song and NOPE... you have to go into the Home app to do that. Totally makes sense Apple... NOT.

I know I’m a little late to the party, but I just picked up the HomePod. I love it! Great sound and easy to set up. If you love music, I highly recommend it!

Apple hit it out of the park with the Homepod. The sound quality this speaker puts out is second to none, especially for its size. I am very satisfied with this purchase.
