Customer Ratings & Reviews

HOMEPOD sounds amazing! Crisp clear sound with great bass. Siri can hear you so well....and not having to keep saying hey Siri....she hears you the first time unlike my kids. Does all the smart home stuff I need could not be happier. The HOMEPOD is shockingly small with a good quality build quality feel. Have never had a echo or google device because of security concerns..... all products I buy support HomeKit. Would buy again no doubt!

I am very impressed the quality of these speakers. The mid range and the base are very well balanced. There I things I can hear using the Homepods I never noticed using my pair of Braven 850s. Plus even at 100% volume there is barely any distortion. Yes, it requires Airplay. That make sense given that the algorithms employed need lossless audio digital data that only Airplay can deliver. I have noticed no issues using airplay to stream Spotify.

Not one single review is from a verified purchaser except for me :). The HomePod blows away any other smart speaker in terms of sound quality. The Clarity and Bass will amaze you for about 10 minutes. To answer your question, Yes...Siri is still stupid. But that’s fine. Oh yeah when using FaceTime audio, the HomePod is the best speaker phone on the planet. :). I will always buy anything and everything that Apple releases. I spare no expense!

Speaker sounds great, but it WILL cut out regularly over AirPlay. No resets or software updates will fix it, and you will join the many frustrated owners of a sometime Es great sounding speaker.

The HomePod rocks. My son complained to me last night that I was too loud. I have many speakers. Bose, Polk etc. The sound link II sounds good but flat compared to the HomePod. This blows them all away. Don't even bring Echos, Homes, dots to the party. Keep them at home in shame. The sound is loud and clear. Fills our large living home nicely. The engineering behind this thing rocks. As with any Apple product it looks great.

Great speaker especially when coupled with another and used with Apple TV

Sound quality is one of the best for a 100 dollars

Bought HomePod today. Wow! Sound quality is superb! Louder than I expected. Very nice integration with phone and easy to set up. I like how I can access it from the control center and in music to play my music from library. Using Echo Dot, I had to open the Alexa app. Answers all my questions like my phone does except it can’t access my calendar and it can’t make calls or emails. I would recomend to anyone with an iPhone.

Once apple finally updated to multi room and Stero connection, I bought a total of three (thinking about a 4th for the office) First one I got because I am a masseur and got tired of using my iPad to play music. Sound is so great and it can be heard over the Air-Conditioner. I have two more in the living room, before I lived in Air-Pods listening to music because I didn't want to turn on the TV and play Apple Music through that and have the TV running as well. But I must warn you it will cause you to buy smart lightbulbs because you can control them with your voice. The downsides???? Sometimes Siri has an Alzheimers and forgets what certain lighting scenes are (you have to unplug and replug it to show it who is boss) The other thing is if your using just voice to ask for particular type of music or playlist... it can be quite hilarious/frustrating from time to time. Also as I have YouTube Premium, I sometimes stream music channels from the iPad - once in awhile the HomePod loses the connectivity to the stream...not sure why. All in all, if you are not an Apple Music Subscriber, don't get these. Also, I wouldn't recommend them to replace your TV Soundbar... there is a software problem and using them that way to watch TV/Movies creates a muffled sound.

I had purchased the apple HomePod a little over a week ago, and I can tell you first hand that it is truly the best speaker! Bass is perfect, but only at higher volumes. But the "Hey, Sir" feature with it is responsive and quick with answer. I cannot wait till they roll out more updates with this product to make it 10x better! Premium product for a premium price. You actually get what you pay for!

Amazing sound from such a small speaker. I have owned everything from full tower speakers from Definitive Tech to Sonos and more. Sound quality is better than any smart speaker on the market. You are limited to Apple Music for voice control but I would prefer switching to gain superior sound rather staying with another music service for inferior sound quality. Quality build and materials. Super easy set up!!!!

Great sound quality - would buy again without question

Awesomeness in a speaker buy buy buy best smart speaker and awesome sound

When I received my Homepod, I was very excited to open it and give it a try. Set up was super easy, so that's good. The sound is great and SIRI is general quick to respond to "hey siri" commands. However, as others have noted, you can't use Hey Siri to play your music or audio from other apps. You need your iphone/ipad to play music from services such as Amazon Music or Spotify via AirPlay on your Homepod. Tha'ts a bummer and at least a 1 star reduction in my book. Big Flaw: Sometime the Homepod will get into a state were "Hey Sir" will acknowledge a request to play an album or playlist, but NOT play the music you requested. For instance, I recently asked "Hey Siri" to "play Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon" She acknowledged with "ok playing Pink Floyd the Dark Side of the Moon". But then silence. I tried the request multiple times, same result, silence This happens quite often with other artists/albums too. I Googled the issue, and many others are running into the same issue. The only solution appears to be resetting your Homepod. I tried this a few times, and the fix does work. But seriously annoying that I have to do it about every other day. This is not the quality I have come to expect from Apple.

Awesome sound. Can’t say enough of how much I love this

My old setup required me to airplay Apple Music to Apple TV which is connected to a nose speaker via audio jack on my tv. That’s 3 appliances right there and can’t even shut the tv screen off to save electricity so I decided to buy this. Just plug it in and the rest is history lol! At first I wasn’t impressed by the bass but eventually liked it when it started playing songs with good bass to begging with. Try search Bass Boosted songs in YouTube to see hear how crazy the bass is with this device. I also like how excellent the mic is even on loud environment. The integration is great with Apple Music and I just like how it knows what songs I like Price is high but worth it. It will eventually get software updates to that’s nice too. TIP for using Siri *don’t say Hey siri then pause unlike the iPhone. Complete the command in one sentence and the HomePod will understand. Hey Siri play chill music! No shouting needed too And additionaly, the speaker is heavy and doesn’t feel cheap. With its weight, you don’t have to worry about accidental knockdown.

I’ve been interested in the generally lukewarm reviews for the HomePod that have appeared in the media. The consensus seems to be that the HomePod is a great sounding speaker, but that owners are locked into the Apple “walled garden,” and that Siri, while good, is not quite on par with Alexa and the Google Personal Assistant. I guess my review falls along the same lines, but with a different point of emphasis. I use Apple Music already for my streaming and playlists. Is Apple Music necessarily the best streaming service out there? Probably not — I think that Spotify, and Google Music, and Amazon Music are all quite good (I’ve used them all, over the years) but that Apple Music is quite good as well. So I am already committed to that part of “the garden.” And with that said, this speaker really, truly does sound fantastic! Warm, crisp, detailed, good tight bass, a very neutral sound, great for classical, acoustic, folk, jazz. I have listened to a lot of the different speakers out there, and the HomePod is, to me, an order of magnitude better sounding. So, if you use Spotify or Google Music, if you really want the best personal assistant to answer questions and such, then perhaps the HomePod is only good, rather than great. But if you use Apple Music already and sound quality is important to you (I am squarely in this camp) then the HomePod is fantastic, and well worth the money.

Awesome in all ways. I ordered 3 more. Great sound for such a little speaker and perfect Apple ecosystem integration.

I love my HomePod mini. I will definitely purchase another so I can have the surround sound.

The HomePod is a great little device! My wife and I were commenting how stereo systems have changed over the years, and, well, just Wow! The sound is excellent with crisp, clear clarity. We are Apple product users all the way with several devices. I also have an Apple Music subscription along with iTunes Match, so the HomePod just makes sense for us. I've had no problems with the white circle mark underneath either. This is our first Smart Speaker as I was slow to the party. I'm glad I waited for the Apple HomePod! I believe the shortcomings that have been mentioned with Siri will be addressed with software updates. I highly recommend!
