It's a nice speaker. However, my son and I were having a hard time connecting at first. Then when we finally connected my iPhone to it, my son started having trouble connecting his, so I had to disconnect and delete the Home App so my son could connect. Since the HomePod was going to be in his bedroom, I didn't bother to connect my phone to it anymore. Overall it does have a good sound, but the connection to devices it's hard (for us).

Off the bat, couldn’t get it to work after reading and watching instructions. It was such a simple setting I had to turn on and that moment on, pure joy. As loud as you’ll need for an indoor speaker and great quality audio at minimal volume as well.

Bought one for my kids room after I have the 1st generation HomePod for my kitchen. It's easy to install and work well with our smart home that runs on Apple.
The sound for this speaker is good for such a little speaker. After heating its bigger brother in my kitchen I realized I needed to quickly lower my expectations. Nonetheless this was worth the purchase.

Bought this to replace the other female voice assistant. The sound quality is much superior and of course works seamlessly with my iPhone. It would be nice to have some type of small display on the unit.

Great simple design. Great sound, smart features include temperature and intercom. Links with Apple TV with simplicity. And with several you can have whole house speaker system.

As with everything Apple, this speaker is awesome. Extremely simple to use. The only controls are on the top of the speaker which is basically tapping it to talk to Siri (you can always just say “Hey Siri”) and there is a + and - to manually control volume. The speaker sounds incredible, rivaling other high end speakers I have. Speakers and microphones are all the way around the speaker, so it literally is 360° sound and listening. All of this is covered in a really cool rubber feeling mesh which gives the HomePod a Modern, non-obtrusive look. Setup is ridiculously simple using the Home app. It works with any HomeKit compatible accessory and others that can be configured with the Apple Shortcuts app. I have been using one and just purchased a second one for another area of the home. Using Airplay2 you can link these for stereo effect and multi room music, which I have not done yet.
This review is from Apple - HomePod - Space Gray

I wonder how such a small speaker can provide rich and loud sound. Absolutely must have if you are an Apple Music subscriber. Siri is responsive and fast, however, other voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant have significantly more features. Overall, this nice speaker is a great addition to Apple ecosystem

I purchased this to get better volume in multiple places in my house. The sound is incredible!! Definitely glad I made this purchase. I also ordered another large pod to increase even more. Apple products are superior to any other brand.

Love this speaker it has excellent sound and its size works well for areas where you don’t have a lot of space also has the ability to connect all kinds of smart devices which helps if you have a smart home. For $99 this is a good device as the sound from it doesn’t even sound like something from a small or cheap speak it sounds premium with good bass and treble response

Packs a lot of power and sound. I expected it to flow seamlessly across my apple devices but it is very challenging. It may just be more that does not know what to do or how to do it. When it works, the sound quality is near perfect at least to me. Connectivity could be made a lot easier though. For the price it is a steal. Would definitely buy some more.

These sound great for what they are. Totally fills a bathroom with good sound, and the bass from these is quite surprising. Is it the best speaker ever? No, but it definitely serves its purpose and doesn't leave you desiring much more. Just not worth the full price — I was happy to get one more at an open box price, although it wasn't reset properly, so setup was a bit of a pain.

I love that it’s super small so it can fit anywhere. even though it is small it can fill an entire room. i love to play music and i don’t have to put it very loud to get it to fill the room. the audio quality is great!

Amazing sound from such a small device. It would be 5 stars if not for Siri. Overall, a great product if you're in the Apple ecosystem. Having these around the house to use for music and for intercom announcements is great when announcing dinner or asking questions of people across the home without yelling or pulling out a phone to call/text.
The utilization of the U1 chip for proximity features with the iPhone is great and I'm looking forward to the expansion of these features.

I was very excited when this was announced and purchased right away. I was going to put this in a medium sized rec room. It replaced a Sonos, which was better suited for another area. I was immediately impressed, while the volume wasn't nearly as high as the Sonos the clarity was still ever present and it still had a good amount of low end.

I thought this speaker was adorable so I picked up one thinking it was a portable wireless speaker. I wanted to love it since I’m a huge fan of Apple products but I ended up returning it since it wasn’t completely wireless. (Must connect to power to use and needs internet to use its full functions). Otherwise the product was great if you want to just use it in your home and don’t plan to move it around the house. Works with Siri and plays Apple Music.
