    It does its job. Wish it was a bit cheaper but you can say that about most apple products.

    Jesus help us all! Why oh why did #Apple stop making this product? I can’t even look at a HomePod mini. I’d likely step on it accidentally but this, this has MEAT! This is a pod, baby!

    We’ve now purchased three homepods. We use them for sound on the tv and music throughout the house! They also control all of our home automation, which I love!

    HomePod is expensive and worth every dollar. honestly you must purchase atleast 1 HomePod and 1 mini ... I would really get 3 minis ... it just sounds magical, you will get over the cost real fast !

    Say what you will but if you're in the Apple ecosystem and care about sound quality, this is one of the best smart speakers for the money. Thinking about getting another one for the stereo output from 2.

    I recommend purchasing two of the HomePods if you own an Apple TV or Apple TV 4K so that you can stereo pair them for a more immersive experience that can substitute a traditional soundbar setup!!!

    Sound is well balanced and with a bass you can feel. 4.5/ 5. The only reason is almost perfect is because I wish it was 35-40 % louder for larger rooms and because HomeKit devices are hella expensive.

    I have 10 of these homepods and I have paired them for stereo sound. I can move them all over the house and even outside. The sound quality is fabulous and I love having the option of playing my music from iclould! Free from speaker wire!

    Yes, I know Apple might be updating this HomePod soon, but for $199 it’s a fanatic speaker. Handoff from iPhone & AirPlay 2 just work, also integrates with Sonos.

    This things should is amazing! And it’s siri functionality is great and will improve with every update... mater of fact the problems people have with the HomePod are all things that a software patch fixes... but the sound more then makes up for that!

    The Apple HomePod is among the best sounding smart speakers for music. Although it is limited to streaming Apple Music, you can play anything via Bluetooth from any of your devices. Siri is there to answer most questions and perform many tasks. A real buy if you can catch it for $100 off as I did.

    This was just the most amazing sounding speaker that I’ve ever heard. It may not be the smartest speaker but if you want it for music, it’s the best out there for sure! Make sure to pick one up while it’s on sale!

    Disappointing Product

    Very disappointed in Apple with this product. I changed my smart home to HomeKit 2 years ago. Used my AppleTVs as the hubs and everything worked awesome. I wanted to a smart speaker for music and to be able to control HomeKit without taking your phone out. I did t want to pay the premium for the HomePod until they came out with the mini. Bought the mini and was excited to get it home. Day 1 issues already started. Wouldn’t stay connected to the internet, would t run my automations correctly and other issues. So thought I had a bad HomePod mini. Exchanged it thru Apple. Second one worked for a week then started having connection issues again. Have chatted with Apple and they have no answers. Say it is my issue not the product. I have over 20 devices on my network with no connection issues. I read some posts that said it could have issues with routers that change from 2.4 to 5ghz automatically. For something from Apple, you expect a great product. This is not the case. I am now stuck with a HomePod mini that works 50% of the time if that and nothing can be done.

    I’m an apple fan, in the ecosystem, but have to say that I’m a little disappointed... We already had Alexa pucks, and I have to say that is not better! Volume and sound quality not better, and the big plus that would be to be playing my iTunes library, it will not understand commands 1/2 of the time... I would return it if I could...

    Combine the HomePod with Family iTunes from Verizon and your family will love you for it! Any song, any time, just by asking for it. Without the privacy concerns of others speakers. And much better sound that adjusts to its surroundings.

    Great Product - especially if you are in the Apple ecosystem and it gets new features with every firmware update which makes it a very nice addition. If you set two Homepods you can get even better sound.

    Amazing speaker. Was using Amazon products before I decided to switch over to Apple, and the sound quality is superb. Sure, it would be nice if it had an Aux port, but I’ve been perfectly fine without it.

    I have this one close to my router it set up like a breeze with no issues It has great sound. I willing choose to go with home kit but know that you can’t pair just any items with it. So read the labels closely to ensure that it pairs with home kit and not just Seri.
