Still trying to use it, but not sure if it’s worth it.

I love everything Apple so when i saw these on sale for 200 dollars it was a no brainer. I use it to control a few things in my home. Siri is EXTREMELY limited though. Apple needs to address this asap! Because googles assistant is light years away as Of right now!

Nice to have but it doesn't sound very loud like I like it.

It does a good job for what it is. With it at the new lower price.

Really look forward to using this speaker after Christmas.

Mac user since 1990. This has to be the first product of Apple that lags behind its competitors. Siri is frustrating, and quite honest the sound -which is supposed to be its big advantage- is not an improvement over what it replaced (a JAM Symphony ). A big disappointment that was returned.

I had no idea how to use this HomePod. I immediately returned it after figuring out I couldn't use it as a wireless boombox. Lol. Bought a JPL one instead.

I expected the quality of the sound to be much better. Using mostly to play Apple Music service. It appears that Apple chooses to supply lower resolution sound. Like MP3. From reviews I expected full range. PS: I am not ready for Suri (or Alexa) to spy on me all day. Have feature OFF.

You can’t connect the device to Bluetooth, it does not play in stereo and you can’t play your music library by using Siri, you have to play it through your iPhone or iPod to get your library I recommend the Bose 500 speaker which blows this speaker away. You need 3 homepods to have stereo

It’s a great speaker and love the way it works. Definitely recommend it

Doesn't work with iTunes except for the tracks you bought from Apple, forget playing anything you transferred from a CD or got elsewhere. Typical Apple, three times the price of the opposition, limited connectivity and no original features.

Kind of disappointing. I expected better sound - although I don't think that's possible from such a tiny speaker. Stops playing now and then for no reason. Not a great purchase.

It’s not the loudest but it’s great for a bedroom.

Good to have in the house - responsive from many rooms in the house.

Here is my issue with HomePod's. I have three of them and love the sound. The problem is I have not been able to stream to them for weeks. Apple broke their Keychain software with IOS 13 for many people. Without a working Keychain the HomePods can not be streamed to. Maybe if Apple would open up the bluetooth that is sitting if these bricks I could at least stream to one till a fix comes out. I have been part of the Apple for over 15 years but with the HomePods Apple has locked them down so much that they are useless. I will be looking to sell these and get new system that uses both WIFI and bluetooth.

Works well, just ask Siri to play a song, turn on a light, etc.

I love all Apple products, from iPhone’s, Apple watches to Macbook’s but Homepod’s are horrible even connected to Apple devices, I had to return it and go with a different brand that actually has bluetooth connectivity.

Not worth the money when it’s got a cable attached to the end of it. Returned the next day. Was a big let down. Since the commercial show it being moved around and stuff. Really is false advertisement on apple part. Build quality was nice.

This thing is useless. It stays plugged in to the wall and it can never connect to the internet. I tried everything and nothing worked. Later I found a lot of other people had the same problems. Very disappointed in this product.

Siri integration is not that great. Plenty of times it tells me there is an error. Even though I have Apple Music set up, siri likes to ignore my requests and play whatever it feels like. Sound is heavy in bass, which some may not like. Voice call quality is so-so -- the receiving end tells me that the quality is worse than using iphone speaker. Overall, I use it in the kitchen as a speaker only, to airplay my iphone music. You can get better bluetooth speakers for the same price, so I'm not sure what Apple intended with the HomePod. I certainly should have returned it... too bad I threw out the packaging.
