Customer Ratings & Reviews

I didn't even want a HomePod but I walked by the display at Best Buy and was blown away by the quality of the sound. There is no other small speaker on the market that puts out the bass and also quality highs and mids that this little speaker hammers out.. No it's not portable and no it's not that cross compatible with other music services.. but wow it sounds so good. I hear a rumor that apple is developing a way to tie 2 together for stereo sound... I'll be back for another for sure... No 2 speakers out there will be able to crank out that much quality sound in such a small set of speakers. My Spotify still plays well, but just not much help from Siri.. but who needs her. 2 Thumbs way up

Great pair for stereo sound. Setup with screen protector.

I love my homepod, so loud, it remembers all selections

I couldn’t live without this thing now, excellent product

I love it. it sounds better than the echo dot and the google home mini. Hopefully they add more app functionality. But I plan on getting a couple more of these. Side note/ works best with Apple products. But that normal for Apple

Awesome quality controls, good response mechanics, and quality sounds. Just connect it to a network that only you have visibility.

Love this speaker, especially hooked up to another one. It sounds like a home theatre

I was honestly skeptical about liking the HomePod, since I don't find Siri on my phone to be very reliable in recognizing her keyword or in giving me the response I want. I have to say though that I'm really impressed with the HomePod. I had been using a Google Home for about a year, and finally got to the point where I was sick and tired of having to yell "HEY, GOOGLE!" numerous times to get it to hear me. If the Google Home was playing music at any volume other than soft background music, then it usually wouldn't respond at all. It got super frustrating, and I think my neighbors thoughts I had anger issues. Anyway, I decided I wanted to choose a smart speaker that (1) Didn't want to throw out the window because it couldn't hear me (2) Had better audio quality than the Google Home, since I mostly use it for music and listening to podcasts. I figured I'd give the HomePod a shot. On the audio quality side, it's night and day. HomePod has excellent audio and can fill my grand room with audio in a way that Google Home couldn't. I can hear parts of tracks which were muffled or inaudible on the Google Home. As for the ability to hear the wake word, I'm impressed with HomePod's ability to hear me even over music. I can speak in a normal speaking voice and the HomePod picks it up without any trouble. No more yelling and frustration. All around for the 99% of what I use a smart speaker for (music, podcasts, timers, weather, and the occasional random question) the Siri and the HomePod actually perform very well. Sure, there are some areas that Google's AI assistant outperformed in, but honestly those are mostly in areas that I don't really use on a regular basis. I do miss being able to ask Google what a cow says, to entertain my daughter from time to time, but she'll have to settle for dad's impression of a cow until Siri supports that.

I purchased 2 of these when they were first available, and I will be purchasing several more in the coming months to put throughout my house and give as gifts. It is an incredible speaker for $99, and it just looks cool.

I pondered quite a while on the purchase of the HomePod. It just didn't seem to be as usable as other options. I have to admit I love my Sonos speakers. The setup a HomePod is incredibly easy which was not surprise it being Apple. The sound quality exceeds the Sonos, which should also be expected as it is a bit more pricey than the Sonos. If you are not an Apple Music subscriber, I would definitely look at other options. I'm not sure what I am going to do after the three month Apple Music trial. If you are an Apple product user, this is an excellent addition to the family.

The original (and new) full-sized HomePod sound excellent. You're paying $300 for great speaker, and quite frankly nothing else can match the sound at that price. That's not the case w/ the mini. The lows and low-mids are lacking, everything sounds limited in range compared to other $100 BT speakers out there. It's easy to set up, it looks good. But I just can't get past the very average sound quality. If you're looking for something this size that handles AirPlay and sounds great in the $100-$200 range, check out the Sonos Roam. Or just bite the bullet and get the full-sized homepod.

I have purchased a number of these! Love them for music and automation!

Love this little thing! It does everything and more. Makes using your phone around the house easier and convenient. The only thing that can be confusing is using the correct commands.

The HomePod sounds really great. I have to admit the reviews I've seen said it did, but you have to hear this thing to appreciate it. No it's not the best sounding speaker out there, but it's darn good. Siri as we all know is just okay. It works about as I expected it to based on my Siri iPhone and iPad use. I had tried a Google Home Mini at Christmas when they had them for $29 and honestly I used it basically about the same as I do Siri, but eventually returned it. No doubt Google Assistant can do more, but I didn't use those other features, so I don't miss them now with the HomePod. The fact that the HomePod is wrapped around Apple Music is a huge plus for me. I don't subscribe to any Google services and I don't have Spotify or Pandora, so I can't complain about those having to be used through AirPlay. Overall I am very happy with the purchase. I do think it was over priced like most things that Apple has, but I a sure I will get hours and hours of enjoyment and so it's money well spent. If I was looking for a fully capable smart speaker I wouldn't have gotten a HomePod, but it works with Siri in the way I need it and sounds great so it's a keeper!

This product meets every expectation I have for sound built and sound quality. I seriously cant stop listening to it. Many people are leaving not so good reviews and truthfully I don't understand why. This is a new venture for apple. The tweeter hight tones and bass is so pure and just amazing for something so small. Every corner you put this speaker in the sound kicks you in the face with awesomeness. Ok now the hookup process. Plugged it in and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to make it work lol because Im thinking old school bluetooth. You have to think beyond that just like many Apple products. This is not your typical speakers and it works on a different level and I love it unlike some other people. Once connected does not loose connection when you leave the room with your phone. You can either sync it with your phone and play music or just say Siri, play Sinatra and it will play Sinatra music radio. Its a little confusing in the beginning but just like the no home button the iPhone X 2 or 3 times and your GOOD TO GO! The mics are amazing. You can almost whisper hey Siri an it picks up. Tell Siri to make it quieter louder. Change songs lookup songs and so on. This is a different speaker then any other for a different purpose that works well with Apple product so expect something different. Im a Bose enthusiast and let me say the Homepod sounds is truly remarkable for the size and in my opinion beats some of Bose speakers that ranges from $350-700 price range. It is HEAVY! and thats another way you can tell on the built quality. Good speakers, woofers are always heavy due to the magnets being larger. I cant wait for them to release the update so I can hookup two fo them. Absolutely remarkable sound.I LOVE THIS THING and recommend it 100%!!

First off...IM A DIE HARD APPLE FAN...This speaker has 2 positive things going for it. 1, it has a beautiful design and is quite modern/sleek. 2, it sounds amazing with all types of music playing through it. BUT THAT IS ALL....in the video on apple's site, they advertise how many microphones it has so it can hear your voice, but I had TONS of difficulty trying to do simple things that I never had issues with my Google Home. Things like Play, Stop, and certain titles and commands get easily confused. It can only play music from Apple's Music service, and it can only be linked via bluetooth to ONE device at a time. Also it must be linked through the apple home application, not just through bluetooth. Meaning non-Apple devices and others just wanting to take control cannot do so easily. Finally the biggest flaw is the price. If you want a nice looking and sounding speaker, that has a less intelligent version of Siri than the one in my phone for $350+....by all means get this speaker. If you are an Alexa or Google Home user, you probably would be disappointed thinking that assistance of Siri could be anywhere near as good as Google Assistant or Alexa.

Beautiful color and just the right size! It works perfectly and has great sound.

Very clean and good bass. It was very sleek and bestbuy experience was quick and smooth as well.

Works really well. Syncs nicely with my macbook, so I can do yoga with clear sound, play itunes, etc

Love the HomePod. It’s perfect to place around the house to listen to the same music, podcast, etc throughout the entire house.
