    A tip if you got a used one sold as new like I did

    Took advantage of the $100 discount on Black Friday, as I've heard nothing but good on the HomePod. When I picked it up in the store, I noticed on the way back to my vehicle that no shrink wrap was on the box. "Strange", I thought. Then when I got home and powered it up it wouldn't connect easily like the instructions said, and is typical for Apple products in general. After several attempts of getting my iPhone to see the device I reset the HomePod and then it worked as expected. I assume I was sold a used device and it was still associated to the previous owner's Apple account and WiFi. To reset HomePod, hold glowing button in middle of top upon powering up the unit until you hear Siri say "You are about to reset HomePod" (about 3-4 seconds) and then it will work as normal. Also, you may need to install an update once setup with your iCloud account to enable AirPlay2, which enables multi-speaker usage from your iOS devices. So if you have one that doesn't seem to work as expected, try resetting it before returning it to the store. If you do return it, please reset it for the next owner that doesn't read this review. By the way, the speaker works wonderfully and Siri is so much better on HomePod than on my iPhone or iPad it isn't even funny.

    Phenomenal sound for the size. Very attractive and unobtrusive on a piece of furniture. Pair with another HomePod mini to get awesome stereo sound!

    Phenomenal!...With a catch

    I'm a long time Amazon Echo user. I love my Echo. It connect with a ridiculous number of services, and is a respectable bluetooth speaker. I haven't had a reason to switch to anything else. Then I heard the Apple HomePod. I'm a nerd who love tinkering so on a certain level I love the flexibility of the Echo. On a more realistic level I just never use that flexibility. I listen to music and ask silly questions to get the thing to give silly responses. I already use Apple Music and let me tell you, the Echo isn't even in the same class as the Echo speaker-wise. This. Thing. Sounds. Phenomenal. One speaker easily fills a large room with incredibly well-balanced music. As for Siri, I honestly have struggled adopting it due to poor detection or just clumsy responses. The Siri that comes with the HomePod is ridiculously fast, and actually feels more conversational. Now the "catch". It simply doesn't compare to other devices when it comes to integrating with other home automation devices. Compatibility is limited to HomeKit approved devices which while expanding, isn't terribly robust yet. I'm confident that this will improve (assuming Apple remains committed to this market) but I would definitely do your research to make sure your devices are compatible before buying if that's important to you. In short, if you're in the Apple eco-system (Apple Music, Apple News, Reminders, etc.) then you can't go wrong. If you're a home automation nerd, do your research and prepare to either be disappointed or make some sacrifices. And if you just love music, just give this thing a listen. You won't regret it.

    Bought this not too long ago after my original HomePod died and it’s been quite amazing with sound. For only $99 I’m quite happy with it. I’ve got a total of 3 now and placed them all around the house. Lots of music, full sounding, it’s a great investment

    If you live in the Apple ecosystem, then I recommend at least one of these. Providing the "core functionality of a voice assistant (minus the gimmick you get from Alexa or Google) is helpful under the right cases. We use them for our smart home, as intercoms, as well as for timers/alarms/reminders. Great for playing music, but lack as tv speakers. You gotta really want them for more than one to make sense.

    Sounds so good I had to buy two more. I can distinguish between instruments used in the song. Base is sufficient. I just wish it was a little louder. Also Siri can hear you over the music which I thought was cool. Works well with other Apple devices like Apple TV and HomeKit. Also the intercom feature comes in handy.The intercom feature works with your phone.
