Customer Ratings & Reviews

Got on sale ($100 off) and I jumped on it! It has completed my Apple collection—thank you Best Buy! It’s everything that Apple’s marketing video says. I’m so happy! I gave my aged Bose Sound Dock with the 30 pin and now everything is wireless and wanted new technology within the Apple ecosystem even though I love my Alexa Echo, I don’t use it in the most intimate way (my contacts, etc) for fear of privacy concerns.

It works great! Bought it as used and it came in practically looking new, only the charger end was missing but we had extras.

It’s so good and useful , i like it so much , i don’t regret buying it

Comparing with alexa, homepod is so limited, Apple need to make the system working with Spotify not only monopoly just for Apple music. Quality sound is more basses, if you like thump bass this is it. The price I got on sale so worth it.

practical and helps in your day-to-day activities, excellent for connecting with your Apple devices

I use it for my bedroom and a want to buy another one,

Great smart speaker works seamlessly with my devices.

Music is what feelings sound like, and syncs with frequency of the soul.

Now this is my third I have in my home. It controls my Air conditioner and heat, my music in every room in my room, my lights, and more making it the ultimate home system. Sound quality is the best. At its price point, I can honestly say, if you’re not a fan of Apple products and don’t at least have two, I wouldn’t buy this. You also need Apple Music membership to stream music from it at its full potential. So keep this in mind please

I purchased 8 of these and Best Buy shipped them to me in a large box, no insulation, with them all floating around inside and all of the boxes very nicely banged up as a result. Still waiting on the other 5 to arrive but I’m expecting the same behavior in they will also be shipped poorly. That being said, it’s hard to know what is a result of mishandling or not, because the top of one of the units is scuffed, the other two are not. After setting the three of these up, the sound is good for the size of speaker, but having a homepod next to the mini, the bigger one is just night and day. Even having two minis paired it’s just no contest. The best way I can describe it is they sound like a Amazon echo show 5, maybe a little better. The fabric is also not wrapped around them as nicely as the old homepod and the displays on top of them are also not uniform. Nor does the ambient light sensor work correctly. Sitting all next to one another, they have different color profiles, one is bright, while the other two are dim. If you shine a light on the top of them, they all adjust and get brighter. I’ll contact the store and ask for feedback, as I’m not going to keep these after they were packed so badly and the box looked like an accordion. I think the cosmetic defects are notable and unacceptable. But from a sound perspective, if price is your only factor, then great. If you are looking for good sound I’d pass. The one speaker setup with 2 passive radiators on this speaker shows it’s limits quickly in it can do highs, mid ranges, or lows, but it can only do one or two of these at a time so the music sounds like it’s missing instruments if you know the tracks you like to listen to the most. This speaker feels like one that should cost about half as much based on the quality Im seeing and hearing. But my background is also one of having bought big systems in the past, owning many of the original HomePods which are again night and day from this, and most recently to a minimal Sonos setup for tv watching.

HomePod, first and foremost, it's an excellent speaker. You can place it in any room in your home and it will fill it with excellent sound. Siri is, well, Siri and it gets the job done, but honestly Google Assistant and Alexa are more capable digital assistants. I expect it to get more capable with time like the Apple TV did, especially since the processor on the inside of the HomePod is pretty much overkill for what it does. Airplay 2 is excellent and its easy + fast to redirect audio around your home. Overall, if you live in the Apple ecosystem and use stuff like HomeKit its a great add-on. I like mine and will probably be buying another one in a few months.

I’ve always been happy being a customer, Best Buy is where I get my gifts and home goods.

Fills the room incredibly. More compact than the original. Black finish looks great. Set it up with our TV and we love it.

Works great with my other home pod as a studio pair.

Im an avid apple user but this device is seriously lacking. Its not super easy to set up, its not compatible with a macbook and its wired. Apple couldve done better, go with JBL.

Really good Thank you! Good service and good quality

Good enough for a bedroom but not loud enough for a living/dining room

Love the sound and the easy setup and talking to Siri is a breeze waiting on the mini HomePod to launch

Love this Speaker! At the current price on sale, i couldn’t help myself and I decided to add a second one for Stereo Pair. Just one sounds amazing, but two is phenomenal. I purchased my first one 10/20/19 and the second one 11/7/19. Don’t really care how it’s mainly optimized for Apple Music. I use Spotify, and it would be nice to use Siri to play music... instead of having to airplay from my phone. The smart features aren’t has good as Alexa, but at least theres something. I mainly use Siri for controlling my lights. Overall i do love these speakers. I highly recommend if you want to stay within the Apple ecosystem.

Wow is all I can say. I can feel the music on the surface of my desk at work. Very enjoyable even at low volumes but it will rock out at higher volumes. I have Bose SoundTouch 10 and 20, JBL extreme neither of which can vibrate the surface or give 360 degrees of sound from any angle. Worth every penny!
