Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this mighty little thing. I use it as a sound speaker for my tv. Terrific improvement over my TVs sound. Great for music.

Second one. Bought this to pair with other one I already owned. Works awesome in a pair.

I use it to control my lights in the office! Flawless on my ene

I love the sound and compatibility with all of my devices. So easy to set up and use

We have one and love ours. We bought a second for ourselves or our office when it went on sale for $200. If your already an Apple product lover. You’ll love this too. The sound quality is really good. And we connected it to the one we already have for a stereo effect. And the Siri features are just fun to use. Very helpful to send texts via HomePod.

Couldn’t be happier with this speaker. For its size it packs quite a punch. Siri is very responsive in turning lights on and off.

Sound is amazing and is well balanced. Bass sounds great and is easy to connect to

Great gift for my adult kids that puts out great sound.

Works really well with apple products. I turn my lights on and off, music sounds great. Would recommend the stereo pairing

Was gift for my daughter . Shw total loved it as well as the color

Not an audiophile but I think this sounds great. I also use it to turn of and on lights through out the house.

Works great with Apple TV. Give a full sounds vs the tv speakers.

Excellent speaker with integration into Apple Home iOS, a bit pricey for other smart speakers, but if using apple, a great product.

Very good product love using it and easy to use helps knowing weather before work ! Only short coming is it doesn’t play Spotify !!

Pros: - Sound quality is great; far superior to my existing Echo. - Product feels high quality, all the way down to the fabric textured power cable. I’d have been upset if this came with the generic Apple plastic white cable that inevitably gets dingy/yellow and begins to fray. - You can use other music services outside of Apple Music (via AirPlay), just not natively. I’d prefer natively, but listing this as a pro because I have seen some misleading posts saying services like Spotify cannot be used at all. That is incorrect. Cons (most regard it severely lacking as a smart speaker): - Cannot set multiple timers. Especially when cooking, I’ll often have multiple timers going on my Echo. - Inability to recognize different people. This one is especially annoying if you want to be able to receive/send calls or texts through the HomePod. The speaker is linked to my phone. Even if I’m not around, anyone with access to the speaker can send or receive messages from me (if the option is enabled), despite the fact they are not me. My options are to either disable the feature entirely, or be aware that anyone (friend or family) who is near the HomePod, would have unfettered access to my messages/calls. - Siri in general is lacking. For instance, if I ask Siri if it is going to rain, all I get is a “yes” or a “no”. If I ask Alexa the same thing, I get a percentage chance of rain and expected amounts. Several other instances, but just one example. - No ability to use other music services (i.e. Spotify, Tidal, etc.) natively with the device. As listed above, it is doable through AirPlay, but this comes at the cost of more in depth voice commands. - Was foolishly hoping the Nest would become HomeKit compatible since Apple made HomeKit authorization digital now (no longer requires physical hardware). That is not the case. Another thing to keep in mind, Apple’s control over smart home items is limited to HomeKit devices. More may come soon with recent changes to HomeKit, but if you have anything from Google (like the Nest) don’t get your hopes up and factor into your purchase decision. Conclusion: Overall, the speaker is great, for a speaker. As an introduction to a smart speaker? Not so much. I would only recommend this (currently) to users who are subscribers to Apple Music, primarily use Apple mobile devices, and who have HomeKit enabled devices. Many of my complaints can be resolved via over the air software updates. However, I’d say don’t buy and wait for that to happen, wait for that to happen and THEN buy. Apple is far less likely to address these complaints if they get solid sales of the device out the door.

Big smart home and Apple fan but the HomePod still just misses the mark when compared to my Google Home products. I purchased this hoping it would be a nice addition to my office space but honestly, the audio quality isn't great for a big room so if you're putting this on a desk and it'll be in the corner, it'll work great and sound amazing. But otherwise, I'd save my money and buy something else. The setup is super easy, as it is with all Apple products but this is a lot more expensive than competitor wireless speakers and it's not portable.

One of my favorite speakers. Sounds great for such a small speaker. Pairs easily with most apple products. I have ordered two more.

this one is for the bathroom. got three of them all around the apartment to fill it with sound .

The speaker came on time and in perfect condition. I enjoy using it to listen to music, set timers, and have a safety device all in one.

Pairs really well with Apple Music if you have it and the audio quality is fantastic.
