Easy to pair with my iPhone. However, it keeps on unable finding my Playlist. Searching internet does not work either. Hope the speaker is on rechargeable battery instead of hard wired.

Too bad this HomePod sounds awesome because this has very limited functionality. Not even close to what any amazon alexa piece can do. I would not buy this ever again

The HomePod is comparable with the Sonos speakers in sound quality. However it lacks most of the capabilities. Not the high end speaker some claim it would be.

Wasn’t that great of a smart speaker because Siri can’t hear you that good and doesn’t understand what your saying and the speaker can’t handle high pitched sounds so I brought the speaker back to the store.

Returned for the google max assistant due to not being able to support our questions. The google max is much smarter and the sound is outstanding. Big Apple fan and I was sad to have to bring it back.

Honestly I could’ve stayed with beatpills, keeps disconnecting from wifi and does not recognise Apple Music library

I bought one that the box was already open supposedly in excellent condition. I also bought a two year warranty from Apple. Could never connect. I wanted to buy a new one, But they returned to their original price and it was too much for me. It was easy for the employee to return the money instead of sending me to Apple to check that they will do it because he had bought guarantees.

Bought this as my kids are Apple fanatics set it up with WeMo switches that I already had set up but had to spend another $40 for WeMo bridge so my kids can ask Siri to turn on and off lights

Not worth it For the price of this you could get so many other Bluetooth speakers that are better and are much cheaper.

Ordered first HomePod for pickup on launch day. Very easy to setup(stop the it doesn't work for Android BS who caresApple has 1.3 Billion iOS devices they will be fine). Once up and running you will be blown away by how good this speaker sounds. I already bought 2 more. And whats really amazing you only have to whisper "hey siri" and she comes alive. And with the music at 100% which is plenty loud with ZERO distortion she hears every time what you ask. So say your playing your favorite tunes and its loud you can ask her "hey siri hows the traffic on the way to work today?" She quiets the music and tells you. The goes right back to playing your songs. You can mid song ask "Who is this playing?" and when she passes and tells you say "i like it" she will say "got it: and them remember what you like for the future. So when you say "play something I like" it will show up. Another cool option is you can turn off the siri sound (in options, think it comes off by default) and then when you ask "hey siri" and pause she comes on and say things like "uh huh"? But you can just say "hey siri whats the latest news (with no pause) and it works perfect. Is there a few things they need to work on software and siri(and of course will) yes, but nothing that won't make it better. And for those that complain it can't do Spotify? Well yes you can airplay from your phone and it works fine. Much prefer Apple Music since its fully baked into iOS. Well worth every penny so don't listen to the naysayers who can't afford it.

I bought products in an excellent open box, they arrived as new but in this product was not the case, I arrived without labels and with the box damaged

The first thing that shocked me about the HomePod was the weight of the box. Then upon opening it, I was shocked by the size. I guess I was expecting something closer to the size of a Mac Pro since that's what everyone seemed to be saying it looked like. For background, I've had premium speakers before, from Bang & Olufsen to Sonos. The setup was unbelievably intuitive and easy. I just brought my iPhone towards the HomePod and a card popped up on the screen and I followed the prompts and we were all good. The minute I played music on it I was shocked by the sound and the bass. It was definitely not expected for the size. And the base isn't overly done to where it rattles or sounds raunchy. It's done to where it allows the mids and highs to still shine. I would say it tops the Sonos Play 3's I had and the Bang & Olufsen B17. Even Siri was better than expected. As I was leaving the other day, I realized I had forgotten to turn out my bedroom lights and the bedroom door was closing, so with my hands full I asked Siri to turn off the bedroom lights and I was thinking I was going to have to throw all this stuff in my hands down on the counter and use my phone (via the Hue app) but Siri actually heard me from the next room over with the door barely cracked open. The six microphones is apparently very effective. My phone actually activated as well but missed the command. The -1 star is due to AirPlay. I had an AirPlay speaker way back when and I couldn't remember why I was so disappointed with it, but now that I have a HomePod (also AirPlay) I remember very vividly why. The connection when AirPlaying constantly drops. Listening to it, I have yet to be able to listen to a full song from start to finish without the connection dropping out multiple times. For a company like Apple this is incredibly disappointing because it's becoming a habit to release products with promised features that continuously get pushed back. Recall, the HomePod itself was supposed to launch during the holidays but was pushed back, so if you had extra time, the level of expectation doesn't go down, it goes up. Having owned AirPods, which are seemingly flawless, I expected more from Apple.

Would not recommend this product. Expensive and is not user friendly. I have always had Apple products but this is a big disappointment.

I have an all Apple household. Probably the worst Apple product, I have ever purchased. If you're hoping to connect your Apple TV, forget it! THERE'S SIGNIFICANT AUDIO LAG/DELAY, that doesn't look like Apple is working to fix. It uses Bluetooth to connect to Apple TV or other media devices, the 1-second delay is unavoidable. There are no physical input to the HomePod. It's Bluetooth or nothing. For this price, NOT WORTH IT. Thanks to COVID returns are impossible.

Have listened to the HomePod for several hours with the family and we are all blown away. Apple made an amazing speaker. Setup was flawless (and cool!), Siri can hear us at normal voice volume even when she’s playing the music at 100% (“Hey Siri, who is this artist?”) and the sound is wonderful. The separation of musical instruments and vocals is almost unbelievable in a unit this small. The bass won’t rattle your teeth like my SVS subwoofer, but it’s not an exaggeration to say that it delivers chest-thumping bass relative to its size. Going to see if we can return my wife’s Echo and pick up a second HomePod for her. Cannot recommend this speaker any more highly.

I bought this for my girlfriend for Christmas because it went on sale.I wouldn’t have if it stayed at regular price because it doesn’t do much for the price

Just not worth the money. Doesn't function as smooth as something that costs this much. This coming from an Apple fanboy.

This is great dont get me wrong but it is kind of annoying if you are using it for small spaces it kind of plays in random moments

The HomePod mini packs impressive performance into a small, stylish sphere. Despite its size, it delivers rich, room-filling sound with clear vocals and solid bass for casual listening. Apple’s sound tuning technology does a great job of balancing the audio automatically, making it sound good in nearly any room.

The speaker was visible (able to function) on the associated app about 50% of the time. Siri either didn't respond via the speaker or it responded from my phone. I went through all of the steps outline on the Apple sites to try to correct the problem but could not resolve it. I sent it back. Best Buy was great in the ordering, fulfillment and return process.
