If you want to ruin your life and want to waste time and money sure go ahead. Buy this. Otherwise alexa-echo is the right choice so far.

While I’m hiding from my wife she uses the intercom function to get my attention. It’s like she doesn’t realize I’m trying to get away from her and the kid!

If you’re in the Apple echo system this is for you.

The HomePod is great. But you cannot voice command siri to play music from your itunes library that has been imported via a CD. If you're been in apple and iTunes for over ten years like I have this is a huge miss. I'm not sure but I think you can buy some apple music services or iTunes match to overcome this. The option i took was to airplay to the HomePod from my mac. Siri wills till respond to mute voice commands if you do it this way.

Great sound just not loud enough for my taste.....

Great smart speaker just wish Siri could do more!!

At the sales price, this speaker is well worth it.

I have mixed feelings with this homepod. I like that it works very well with Apple's ecosystem. However, it's very limited compared to Sonos speakers. I have the Sonos Playbar and One and this Homepod is nothing compared to them. The sound is okay, but not great.

Didn’t like it, it is not friendly, just work with one phone at the time and when the phone is not home it doesn’t work well. It doesn’t work well every time. It doesn’t work with other music than the apple music

Sound quality doesn’t meet my expectations and it does not get anywhere near loud enough for what it’s primary purpose is. Not as multi-functional as any Apple customer would expect of it either. I’m highly disappointed with this one, Apple. Do better!

I was aware of the limited Siri functionality prior to purchase however it’s even more limited than I expected. For example it responds to basic music request accurately about 60% of the time. Hoping future software updates bring the delight this speaker is missing

5 stars for the sound quality. I've heard many home speakers and this little thing surpasses them all (including large entertainment systems). I can feel the bass vibrate my chest even when the volume isn't at max. No distortion; crystal-clear sound. It's true, Siri is not as smart as Alexa. The HomePod has been great for controlling my Hue lights and Koogeek smart outlets. Siri also has deep knowledge of the music it plays, so it's not like the functionalities are THAT limited. An example of a limitation: you can use the HomePod as a speaker phone, but you can't tell Siri to make a phone call for you, which is a little odd. I anticipate Siri's capabilities to become more advanced with future software updates. Apple said their goal was to make a speaker with great sound, and they definitely hit the mark. As for the microphones, they are surprisingly good. Siri can hear me from another room, and also hear me softly say "Hey Siri" when loud music is playing. Yes, voice commands for music will only work with Apple Music. This is not a problem for me because I've been an Apple Music user from the start. If you use Spotify, you can still play it from your phone over Bluetooth and tell Siri things like: "next track," "pause," "turn up the volume," and other basic commands. If you say "Hey Siri, play [a song]" it will go straight to Apple Music. All in all: If you're looking for sound quality above everything, the HomePod is perfect.

Awful speakers, dropped connections, airplay never works.... this is even using Apple Music! Don't even think about Spotify.... Worst purchase ever

you probably dont need this. if you do, get one. count the speakers you have first

I bought this to use as an airplay speaker for my MacBook Pro. I am extremely disappointed that the sound is constantly out of sync with videos that I am playing. Netflix, Youtube, etc. are all 1-2 seconds out of sync.

Bought this because was on sale, set it up and could not get it to play my playlist. Was on phone for over an hour with apple and they could not get it to work. Sounded great but not my music.

Takes too long to connect. I wish it would connect automatically. I really find no use for it if I spend a good 15 min. Trying to get it to work.

I didn't even get the item yet and it has been a month. there's no option to cancel and no information on when I will get it. it was "guaranteed" by christmas and it is now 1/8. this is terrible service.

I tried a HomePod at launch and it was not worth the asking price so I returned it. I got another this past holiday season when the price dropped. Sadly, little has changed. I was ready for the idea that only Apple services were truly supported, but even those are poorly supported in parts. Siri continues to be a D+ student, not able to answer anything beyond yes/no questions, weather, basic headlines and set timers. Multi-user support is laughable and doesn't recognize the other users about half the time. And Apple HomeKit lags Alexa so badly as to make it worthless. Skip it, lots of other great speakers out there.

I returned for 2 main reasons. Siri is still stupid compared to Google. And to obtain stereo sounds you’ll need 2 HomePod. Apple needs to drop the price to make that happened.
