Customer Ratings & Reviews

Don't buy. It works okay as a speaker phone with iPhones, but not for music at all.

there is a latency when you hook up to the computer and it sucks that you can only stream Apple Music

Nice looking, good sound The mini pod is a little slow to respond Often starts playing music without my asking for music. I’ve had problems getting the mini to play the music. I want to hear even when I give the title of the music it plays what it wants to play.

Hard to set up and not very loud. Also let a white ring on my table, return to store.

Just died. Won't power on. Apple wants $318 to "repair" it.

One of the things that frustrates me about customer reviews is that they complain about what something DOESN'T have and not what it does. The HomePod was just released. The focus was on the hardware side of things (Hence all the positive comments about how amazing the sound quality is) In terms of the software related side. Be patient... Its Apple! It's going to get better. It was a smart move on their part to focus on the physical aspect of the device rather than releasing bigger, better versions. Get the hardware right, and then focus on the software and provide updates to improve the overall experience. My personal review. I was pretty skeptical about the sound and was surprisingly shocked when I ended up returning my Bose Soundtouch 20 and replacing it with the HomePod. I plan on purchasing a second one and setting it up stereo and testing it out by watching a movie. The overall feel and look of the speaker is pretty awesome. It's heavy, the mesh surrounding feels very well put together. The setup is easy, Siri is fine for what I need. She will improve over time though. Otherwise I'm totally happy with this purchase.

About the equivalent of the factory speakers in my Samsung 32 inch television. Very very disappointed.

Horrible response time horrible never will do apple again

This is my first smart speaker and I was hesitant to spend this much for the HomePod but it was worth it. It was easy to set up and easy to use. I can ask questions, get answers, and endless supply of music. Also, the speaker quality is simply amazing. It auto calibrates for each song based on the room positioning, so you always get the best sound quality. Overall, I highly recommend the Apple HomePod

Great sound, easy setup. I use a pair for stereo sound and as a HomeKit smart hub for home automation.

Person owned it has made it defective. Not cosmetically but harware

Got an empty box so my review is biasjust want reward points

A1 to Apple, sound quality was clear not distorting noises Siri worked fine I’d recommend it not sure if it’s still being sold but the newer version would be just as this one.

Worse buy ever. Very disappointed in apple with this one!

I own several Apple products and I really wanted a smart speaker. I listened to several other speakers in the Bestbuy store that were on display and I was not impressed by the audio quality. The HomePod was not on display so I could not listen to it in the store. However, I decided to go with this speaker because I have serval Apple prodcuts and an Apple Music subscription. I am beyond impressed by how great the music sounds! But truly the sound is beyond amazing. Siri can hear me even when I’m playing my music very loud. I can whisper “Hey Siri” and it responds. As far as being smart it seems to do everything I need. It makes calls, sends texts, alarms, reminders, timers, weather, news, podcasts, and more. And siri is the boss of finding any song I want I can just say a few lyrics and Siri finds the song, I can say “hey Siri play me songs I like” and it plays music for me. The music capbability of this speaker is just so far ahead of all other smart speakers on the market currently.

Not worth the money! Not Bluetooth and only works with Apple Music .

Very disappointed with the sound quality. Will not recommended.

It's probably me, but it works sporadically and not well.

Wait until it works. I returned mine. The sound is great, price is reasonable but it pauses and stops continually. I looked online and saw that many others are having the same problems. I rebooted, plugged, unplugged and changed devices from which I was streaming. The result was the same. Works for a few minutes and then goes into a routine where it plays, pauses, play, pauses, play, pauses. When it works it will be a nice little unit. Not now.

Music has too much base. Siri activates and plays garbage music
