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

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

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.

It's a neat thing to have. But it's not very loud when you connect it to the Apple TV and you can't connect a sound bar and a HomePod so it's nice but not as cool as I'd hoped.

never shipped. loss and damaged never shipped. loss and damaged

My entire home is Apple with Homekit enabled lights, locks, thermostats and so on and so on. I absolutely love Apple and have no problems with any of the product. Now there is the "but". I did think that HomePod would be like my iPhone or iPad, but it doesn't get close. It basically is the most expensive timer for the kitchen I've ever bought. Yes, it does work with Homekit but it doesn't connect to the Web so I can't do many of the things I wish that it would, as Alexa does. I have Sonos filling the entire house with music, and I'm told I will be able to control Sonos with Siri and HomePod end of year. I'm going to keep wishing Siri (HomePod) will go back to school and get it right.

I see no point in this. Our $18 Echo Dot /Alexa works better. For the size and weight I was surprised the volume wasn't higher. It also doesn't do anything really special. You can tap your phone on it to transfer a phone call to the speaker but really it's like apple tried to mimic the Alexa and didn't do a good job. Really not worth the price point at all. As an apple product you'd think it would have more features. Can't believe they sell this for $300 bucks.

This little speaker is useless to hear music. Unless you like hearing it real low. Like I have headphones that are louder than this.

A useless amalgamation of technology. It is pointless and worthless for any use. Absolute disgrace. For mor thoughts. Check my YouTube video https://youtu.be/lKNV7Dmm3bI

Stopped working after a week, giving it to my brother so he might have more luck than me

You can only play Apple Music on the speaker. Very expensive and you can’t do much with it

I am picky when it comes to electronics its a knockoff of Alexa, in my opinion, I just got rid of it and bought an Alexa.

It is ridiculous, I bought it as a present for my grandsons for Christmas, and I just got it today. I was told they were going to deliver it the 23rd. My complaint was about the delivery time.

Would constantly turn on by itself. Wouldn’t shut down it was on listen mode constantly. Then it couldn’t understand english. Junk. Returned all we bought.
