Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this speaker, especially hooked up to another one. It sounds like a home theatre

The original (and new) full-sized HomePod sound excellent. You're paying $300 for great speaker, and quite frankly nothing else can match the sound at that price. That's not the case w/ the mini. The lows and low-mids are lacking, everything sounds limited in range compared to other $100 BT speakers out there. It's easy to set up, it looks good. But I just can't get past the very average sound quality. If you're looking for something this size that handles AirPlay and sounds great in the $100-$200 range, check out the Sonos Roam. Or just bite the bullet and get the full-sized homepod.

Love this little thing! It does everything and more. Makes using your phone around the house easier and convenient. The only thing that can be confusing is using the correct commands.

I have purchased a number of these! Love them for music and automation!

The HomePod sounds really great. I have to admit the reviews I've seen said it did, but you have to hear this thing to appreciate it. No it's not the best sounding speaker out there, but it's darn good. Siri as we all know is just okay. It works about as I expected it to based on my Siri iPhone and iPad use. I had tried a Google Home Mini at Christmas when they had them for $29 and honestly I used it basically about the same as I do Siri, but eventually returned it. No doubt Google Assistant can do more, but I didn't use those other features, so I don't miss them now with the HomePod. The fact that the HomePod is wrapped around Apple Music is a huge plus for me. I don't subscribe to any Google services and I don't have Spotify or Pandora, so I can't complain about those having to be used through AirPlay. Overall I am very happy with the purchase. I do think it was over priced like most things that Apple has, but I a sure I will get hours and hours of enjoyment and so it's money well spent. If I was looking for a fully capable smart speaker I wouldn't have gotten a HomePod, but it works with Siri in the way I need it and sounds great so it's a keeper!

This product meets every expectation I have for sound built and sound quality. I seriously cant stop listening to it. Many people are leaving not so good reviews and truthfully I don't understand why. This is a new venture for apple. The tweeter hight tones and bass is so pure and just amazing for something so small. Every corner you put this speaker in the sound kicks you in the face with awesomeness. Ok now the hookup process. Plugged it in and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to make it work lol because Im thinking old school bluetooth. You have to think beyond that just like many Apple products. This is not your typical speakers and it works on a different level and I love it unlike some other people. Once connected does not loose connection when you leave the room with your phone. You can either sync it with your phone and play music or just say Siri, play Sinatra and it will play Sinatra music radio. Its a little confusing in the beginning but just like the no home button the iPhone X 2 or 3 times and your GOOD TO GO! The mics are amazing. You can almost whisper hey Siri an it picks up. Tell Siri to make it quieter louder. Change songs lookup songs and so on. This is a different speaker then any other for a different purpose that works well with Apple product so expect something different. Im a Bose enthusiast and let me say the Homepod sounds is truly remarkable for the size and in my opinion beats some of Bose speakers that ranges from $350-700 price range. It is HEAVY! and thats another way you can tell on the built quality. Good speakers, woofers are always heavy due to the magnets being larger. I cant wait for them to release the update so I can hookup two fo them. Absolutely remarkable sound.I LOVE THIS THING and recommend it 100%!!

First off...IM A DIE HARD APPLE FAN...This speaker has 2 positive things going for it. 1, it has a beautiful design and is quite modern/sleek. 2, it sounds amazing with all types of music playing through it. BUT THAT IS ALL....in the video on apple's site, they advertise how many microphones it has so it can hear your voice, but I had TONS of difficulty trying to do simple things that I never had issues with my Google Home. Things like Play, Stop, and certain titles and commands get easily confused. It can only play music from Apple's Music service, and it can only be linked via bluetooth to ONE device at a time. Also it must be linked through the apple home application, not just through bluetooth. Meaning non-Apple devices and others just wanting to take control cannot do so easily. Finally the biggest flaw is the price. If you want a nice looking and sounding speaker, that has a less intelligent version of Siri than the one in my phone for $350+....by all means get this speaker. If you are an Alexa or Google Home user, you probably would be disappointed thinking that assistance of Siri could be anywhere near as good as Google Assistant or Alexa.

Beautiful color and just the right size! It works perfectly and has great sound.

Very clean and good bass. It was very sleek and bestbuy experience was quick and smooth as well.

Works really well. Syncs nicely with my macbook, so I can do yoga with clear sound, play itunes, etc

Love the HomePod. It’s perfect to place around the house to listen to the same music, podcast, etc throughout the entire house.

Sounds quite good, despite its small size, and can be paired for pretty immersive stereo. However, it uses Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth, and often has to be reset to work. That and the fact that it has to be plugged in, which makes it not portable and therefore less than totally versatile. Also, it will probably be updated in the near future. You're probably better off buying a portable, better-sounding Bluetooth speaker of some kind or other.

Very good product would recommend this item it’s a small item but the volume on it is excellent!!

The sound on these little speakers is awesome but Apple really needs to improve the resilience of the operating system. If the power blinks, the pod just loses all of its voice command capability.

I bought two of these and paired them easily with my Apple TV. Sound is great! I prefer these over a sound bar.

Sound quality is really good. The bass packs quite a punch. I also have Sonos home theater setup and this single speaker is almost as good as the whole setup. Siri could do a lot better but am sure Apple will come up with updates. It can hear your voice across the room even with loud music playing. Unlike Sonos, no need to do the trueplay speaker tuning every time you move the speaker. It will auto calibrate. I keep moving it between my bedroom and office room and it sounds great.

Very Awesome speaker. Easy to connect easy to operate.

I'm used to Bluetooth connectivity so this Airplay speaker was new to me. It took a long while and a lot of fiddling around and online research to finally get it to work. Then after a couple weeks it just would not connect unless I restarted my Mac-mini. This got old. After I upgraded to Sonoma 14 and another restart the problem seems to have abated. Hate holding my breath though.

Cord doesn't disconnect from speaker. No ethernet or IO options. Sound is good.

We are avid Apple users. We absolutely love this speaker. The sound quality is unmatched by any portable speaker. Siri is very responsive. You will need Apple Music to use this device effectively. Its great because you do not need your phone once it is set up to play music. It streams though wifi with Apple Music. The HomePod was definitely a worthwhile addition to our home.
