This little guy is a beast. I have 3 of them in every room for a surround sound but i do have the original HomePod for the living room. you could do with two small ones for a big area like livingroom

Siri cant do quite as much as google home, but if you have apple products this is perfect. Play music from your apple music, send and receive calls and texts, and sounds great. Also pairs with Apple TV and you can stream music to it from all devices. Must have for a smart home product if you're in the Apple club.

Much smaller and MUCH louder/clearer than I had expected. This appears to be a speaker first and "smart" functions secondary. This is perfect for me. I don't like the always-on listening and data collecting of Google and Amazon. I don't need a speaker to order my dog food. Finally a Smart Speaker that prioritizes sonic quality.

Whether you’re home or abroad, you can stay in touch with this gadget.

Hate Google, Don't like Amazon. I'm in the Appleshere already so why not try it. I got this for my Wife. We have Sonos play and the Sonos 3 all over the house. The sound of the Homepod is a little better than our Sonos 3's. Easy set up, just hold your phone next to it. Try Siri with the Aussie accent, love it.

This thing is basically a glorified smart speaker with decent sound quality. If you want to control smart home devices throughout your home using and control home automation using voice command, this is not the device for you. Both Google Home and Alexa have multiple speakers and hubs to choose from and allow you the ability to link them throughout your home. This is great for creating a whole home surround sound systems and speaker groups, or even an intercom to communicate to family members in other areas of your home. Alexa and Google Home also offer devices such as the Google Hub, the Echo Show, and the Echo Spot which also allow you to view your security cameras, baby monitors, and make video calls hands free. Alexa can even make your car or regular speakers a smart speaker with Echo Input and Echo Car. If I had to choose between my Homepod, Alexa, or Google Home, I would have to say Alexa is my favorite and at half the price of the HomePod. If sound quality is important, simply buy an Echo Plus and the subwoofer attachment. Google Home has the Max.

My teen granddaughters were very happy with their gifts!

Apple is the Best, I buy all of there products and stock.

This is a really good device and haters will say what ever but these speakers sound phenomenal and no type of distortion at all because it fixes itself to each room automatically. Also Siri may not be super smart but she’s getting there and I think this device will evolve and become a powerhouse

The sound is so amazing. I went into the Saginaw MI store today and was blown away by the quality. Set up was a breeze with HomeKit. If anyone writes a bad review it's because they don't like life. Or music. Or Apple.

This is a great sounding speaker. It is a perfect addition to a family with other Apple Products. It is not as "smart" as some of the competition but it I prefer it hands down to anything else on the market. The sound is unmatched and it works great in the Apple ecosystem.

I'm extremely dissapointed in the lack of thought put into "families" using homekit and homepod. There is not an option to this date STILL for having more than one "owner" of a "homekit home" so even if my partner sets up the home in homekit for a home we both share and own and sends me an invite where I can edit and add devices I am still considered a "guest" in my own home. This made me mad but didn't really cause too much of an issue UNTIL I purchased the overpriced HomePod not-so-smart speaker as a surprise today for my fiance who is out of town for 5 weeks. I rushed to pick it up.... I rushed it back home... I opened it with excitement to set it up and guess what? I am not "allowed" to add it to my homekit and set it up because I'm not the "owner" of the "home". He11 if I'm not. The not so smart suggestion from the apple card on my screen tells me to simply have the "owner" use his phone to set it up. Oh really? He is currently in Guam. EVEN if I did have him set it up or if I sign into my ipad or one of the iphones here as him and set it up I have read that it completely makes it worthless for anything more than a speaker at home for the rest of us. It's personalized to that user for reading their texts and setting appointments etc so my own playlists and using it for anything more than just airplaying or requesting a song it is not able to do. How is it that my phone can recognize my face but a speaker that can hear and answer you from across the room with the volume all the way up cannot determine if I'm "owner 1" or "owner 2" For a fraction of the price other hubs have this technology. So my alternative? I can set up another home on my phone and set it up but I can't add any of my homekit appliances, lights, switches, outlets, (and we have several as avid apple people) to this "home" without losing them from the other homekit "home". It's like it was created as a glorified speaker for single people who don't like to share. I'm really furious, honestly. I expected forward thinking and insight. I expected this EXTREMELY obvious issue to be thought of in advance. I expected quality and more from apple especially with how late they are to the Home Hub party. I envisioned having one in the bedroom, living room and kitchen. Ambient sound throughout where he can have his music playing in the bedroom and ask siri to play a video on the apple tv (which it cannot do wtf) while I listen to my music in the kitchen while cooking and then ask siri to call my mom so I can ask about a recipe (it can't do that either) meanwhile in the living room the kids ask siri about the weather (which is one of the few things it seems to be able to do) How did this get released and miss the mark by so very much? I don't think my vision is anything beyond what should be expected. I'm willing to pay for 3 of the darn things but somehow they cannot get the basic functionality that other hubs can provide. But it sounds good? Yeah, I wouldn't know since I'm not allowed to set it up, at least not in the way that I had wanted. The design is pretty. Good thing it's round since google and alexa are running circles around it.

The HomePod is a really great speaker at this price point. While it sounds good initially, it actually gets better over time. In my home I have them set up in stereo mode using AirPlay 2. The sound is amazing for both music and movies from Apple TV.

Ok right out the door set up was great. Just hold your device and done. However you can not make calls or messages unless your phone is on. It can not access your iCal from the Home Pod I get first generation but the calendar should be available. The sound is wonderful and it hears me from anywhere in the room. HomeKit works easily.

The sound on this is incredible. I also use it to control my hue lights. I have both a echo dot and several google minis. HomePod’s voice recognition and ability to control my lighting system far exceeds both echo dot and the google mini.

Need to fix connectivity issues. Lots of Reddit and other articles discussing “can’t connect to internet “ response with voice commands. Restarting or resetting only works temporarily. Apple TV audio cuts in and out too. Don’t buy until they have fixed this.

These are gr8! Got black ones and white ones! No need to be one sided here ☯️ Sound beats bose, ue and jbl any day! Also no lithium ion battery which is better for the planet!

I pickup a iPhone and fell in love ended up replacing all the family's phones with iPhone's, replaced all Android tablets with iPads and brought the new Apple TV to replace my Nviada Shield. I wanted to replace my Google home with the HomePod but it doesn't do much! It plays music from Apple Music and supports some basic Smart Home features like turning lights on and off noting much for $350! While the sound is good the HomePod needs to do a lot more for this price. I really wanted to love it but its going to get returned and waiting to see what Apple decides to do with future updates for now I will stick with my Google Home and my Mini's.

Amazing Apple does it again it is a great product worth the money, just waiting on the other updates but it is worth the money sounds amazing just like the promised. Can't wait to get another one so they can be stereo!
