I'm an Apple fanboy, yet there's one issue I have with this amazing smart speaker. For sound, it's top notch and better than any other smart speaker out there, IMO. The bass punches and the clarity is spectacular. If you buy two of these and make a stereo pair, expect to be amazed. This speaker is a no brainer for Apple people and if you're patient, it usually goes on sale at BB every few months where you can snag it for $199. When this happens, snatch the babies up.
Now for my one main issue, and it has nothing to do with quality of sound. I wish so badly that there were an Apple speaker that had an HDMI ARC port and could hook it up to your tv. This way you could have true surround sound with these speakers much like the way Sonos works. I only have one of these Homepods due to this reason and I have way more Sonos speakers around the crib. Each of my flat screen tv's have a Sonos Beam synced up with two Sonos One SL's. They're sound is good but if I had the option to replace this setup with Homepods, I would in a freaking heartbeat. Maybe it's good that I can't cause that would destroy my wallet trying to replace the One SL's with Homepods. But who knows, maybe if a miracle happened and Sonos and Apple had a collab... haha and we're all going back to our normal lives within a week (cough, Corona virus). I would give these Homepods 5 stars and beyond if I could set them up as surround speakers for a TV but that just ain't where we're at. If you do have an Apple 4K TV you can go into your video and audio settings and set the Homepods as the audio source but it's a pain to have to do that each time you turn on the device. Not worth it in my opinion. Anyway, if you plan on using the Homepod strictly for music then you're definitely getting your money's worth.
This review is from Apple - HomePod - Space Gray

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.

Amazing sound quality for the size of this item. We also have the larger HomePod. If you prefer higher sound quality, I would recommend going with the larger size HomePod.

Wow purchased this for my wife and it has the best sound quality of any small form factor speaker I've ever had.

A little speaker that packs a big punch. Great for small rooms. I use it for podcast listening and for alarm wakening. Don’t expect to rock a house party with this one.

This device was easy to setup and just holding my iPhone over it transferred my music to the speaker. Sound quality is not bad and surprisingly good for a small speaker.

The sound from the speaker is great. Wasn't expecting the volume to be so loud. Will purchase more

If you have a lot of Apple products, and even more HomeKit enabled smart devices, I would reccomend getting this for every single room in your home. HomeKit doesn’t have the best device compatibility, but when you have devices that do work with it, it performs amazingly. Even if you dont have smart home devices, I would 1000% reccoment getting this and an Apple Music subscription. It sounds absolutely amazing and is even better at maximum volume.

Is this as good as the full size HomePod?
Sound? No.
Size? Yes. This is what HomePod should have been from the beginning. Small, cheap, and affordable. I miss the big sound but not too much if I’m being honest.

Good sound, good price, easy to set up. Replaces a defective HomePod that died 25 months after purchase, with a 2 year warranty. Hope I have better luck with this min!!

They have great sound and were really easy to set up. I see them purely for speakers meaning I haven’t set up any of other features available such as home automation.

Very good item when you are a fan of ‘all things Apple’. Good sound for such a small item. Great space saver. Bought two so that I could use as stereo pair.

Excellent speaker but the connectivity is complicated, it took a long time to figure out how to connect it each time we need to use it and turning it on and off, although you just tap it sometimes it don’t work
