Doesn’t work with existing smart bulbs, needs more Compatibility

I bought this hoping that Apple would make great improvements over time. Boy was I wrong. Thought it has excellent doubt the only thing that makes it worth owning three of them is that Version offers free Apple Music.

The only strong suit of this product is its sound quality and the convenience of being part of the Apple ecosystem. Other than that, Siri is pretty useless compared to Google and Alexa.

Love this speaker. I wasn't blown away as much as everyone else claims they have been, but I also haven't put it exactly where I want it yet. However, I love the Apple integration and ecosystem.

There was a known issue with the speaker so it didn't work and returned it. Ended up exchanging for the Marshall speaker, which has a neat design and very good sound quality.

If you are an apple nut like I am then you need this speaker, run and grab this immediately. You can control almost anything in your house through the Home app. music, lights, thermostats the possibilities are endless. Go apple!

The sound quality is great, but it is NOT compatible with any of the third party music company (ie: Pandora, Spotify, etc.). To maximize the features from the HomePod you have to have Apple Music subscription to have it working through Siri.

Pretty terrible audio quality, even for a small speaker. Not worth it. Apple still needs to invest in some time with Siri. I ask her why she is so dumb non-stop. She can’t even give me an answer…

The HomePod is a great sounding speaker, but not a very resourceful device in terms of asking questions. It can only tell you answers to the most common questions such as weather. Most time it will say it cannot do something and refers to using Safari to find the answers.

Had a little bit of an issue with setup, but may have been user error LOL. It works great! And love the bright orange color too!

Best sounding speaker, but a known issue prevents Siri from recognizing me. Apple support said there’s nothing they can do and that a future release “might” fix it. If this wasn’t on sale, I wouldn’t have bought it.

Audio lag is a deal breaker as I watch a lot of YouTube. Netflix and Amazon prime video sync well. Battery life is very good. Build quality, comfort and sound are excellent. Would recommend them to a friend with caveat regarding audio lag.

Terrible doesn't even support Apple products. I bought this to assist my clients and become more knowledgeable. After 6 months I give up. It doesn't work as a smart speaker with my iPhone -- it keeps cutting off and reverting me to the speaker on my iPhone. I tried to use it with Pandora, but every time a commercial comes on the speaker cuts out and stops playing from my iPad. The only thing it seems to understand is it wants to play either the music I have purchased from Apple or the Apple streaming music - which I finally cancelled because it was way overpriced. I will never purchase this item again.

This item sounds great works great however you can use phone protection with it such as vpn and such location services have to be turned on and I don’t like that.

This is something we use daily in combination with our AppleTV as well as using it as a home device for alarms/timers/music/etc.

Hate hate hate these. Own 4 and they never work properly!? ALEXA is 100 times better. Don’t understand you, can’t connect to much. Just a huge pain. Will be selling all of them

I use it to play my music. Siri sometimes does not recognize what I'm saying, to that's annoying. I use it when I'm in the kitchen and think of something to add to my grocery list. I'm waiting for the new AppleTV so I can make my TV sound come from the pod.

Bought 2 home pods minis. Had read reviews saying that they’re compatible with Sonos system already connected to Apple TV. Well. Their not. Have to go through a couple of extra steps every time you turn on the tv to have them synced with Sonos.

It has been terrible since I bought this item in the beginning of the year my nephew use it well then when I try to connect my device with my phone I couldn’t I have been able to use it since then

It’s hard to believe how good the sound is on this device. If you want basic info and great music, this is the device for you. It is not meant to be like it’s competitors
