    If you’re going back and forth between Siri and Alexa, just keep in mind that Alexa is more utilitarian. However, the HomeKit app adds a lot of features

    Not Perfect But Worth It When On Sale

    I picked up one so that I could create a stereo pair with the other one that I already have. If you thought one sounded good... two sounds AMAZING. No, these speakers are not perfect and there tend to be some software bugs. Nothing that usually prevents you from being able to listen to music on them. If you can find these on sale, as I did, they are definitely worth it. Nice rich sound and they work seamlessly if you are already in the Apple ecosystem.

    They are decently good for what they are. Sound quality is excellent (although a bit bass-heavy), but Siri and overall integration is definitely lacking.

    I use the homepod mini as soon as I walk in the house. It's one of the most useful home automation products I have. It's worth having on each level of your home. Great product!

    Great Sound, "Meh" Smarts

    I personally really like the HomePod. The sound is great and it's convenient to use for your HomeKit hub. That said, Siri is sometimes confoundingly stupid and I really do wish this had some sort of battery functionality to be at least somewhat portable. That's why I'm only giving it 4 stars. That said, if you're already well entrenched in the Apple ecosystem (like me) and want a smart speaker, then I would definitely recommend the HomePod to you! Also, it semi-regularly goes on sale for 33% discount, so I'd hold off until that sale hits if you're interested!

    I've had my original HomePod for well over a year and love it. The professional reviews aren't kidding when they talk about the sound from this little beast. Purchasing the second when it went on sale and seeing how the two HomePods magically figure out their placement in the room is amazing! The sound is great! I should have purchased the second one when I purchased my first.

    Love the item, the only downside is you need to keep the packaging otherwise you need to contact apple customer service to get assistance in re setting up the item (its a hassle)

    Overall good quality. It does lose connection often and the microphone needs to be revamped. It has a hard time making out what you’re saying.

    Sound quality is decent but ongoing connection issues are very frustrating. Also, Siri rarely works propertly. I have only Apple products (MacBook, phone, watch, TV etc) and been using them for years, and this product is my first major disappointment. Online forums show this to be a regular issue with the HomePod. We received an Amazon Echo Pop with our new home purchase, and while I favor Apple and their privacy policies over Amazon, I will say the Echo just works, and never seems to have issues. If you're looking for a rock solid addition to the Apple ecosystem (as I was) I'd pass on this.

    Does the job, i just don’t use it anymore, just sits there I guess I made an impulse buy but for someone who needs something like an “Alexa” this is the trick for you.
