I have enjoyed this product from day one. Works well for my needs

What can you say bad about these speakers. Great sound, ease of use, and Apple quality!

I bought this as I needed a new HomeKit hub since my Apple TV gen 3 was no longer compatible after my iPhone 6 stopped getting updates and I was forced to get another phone. Apple is great with finding ways to force you to buy more of their junk. I only use this thing for my home automation. How does it sound? Well it sounds like a F-art coming out of a tin can! Believe me it’s that terrific!!! Did you know this thing has Siri, the voice assistant? If you thought she was politically correct before hang on tight because I think she got an upgrade and she gets offended by asking the weather and “won’t respond to that”!!! This thing also flashes stupid rainbow colors when it talks to you because I guess that’s cool or something. This thing is about the size of a softball. I have been tempted to pitch this thing across the room at least 10 times now. The next time it says something beyond stupid or talks about something I didn’t ask for I will test the durability of this product! Stay tuned and I will add my second review at a later date on how poorly this was manufactured. The plug for this gem is a great size if your looking to hide it in any form. I promise you that you will not loose the plug as Apple was kind enough to make it so that it sticks out at least an inch and a half from the wall. So to recap my review, just buy it because if your reading this review then you already know your going to by it so just do it.

Amazing quality and sound!! I was so impressed with the sound and how easy it easy to set up!!

Sounds good for the size of it, but its kind of a hassle to get it to start playing unless you have an apple music subscription, then its all good.

I like the security of Apple and Siri compared to Amazon and Alexa. For my purpose it functions the same and doesn’t seem to listen in on everything.

Great sound! Easily portable to any room in the house, using it with my Home app to control lights, easy interface with my iPhone.

This little guy rocks, highly recommended for a small arena like a home gym, bedroom or home office.

Great sound in such a compact package! Great bass levels. This is a must have for any music lover!

I love the Siri function! Great sounding speaker! Siri listens perfectly with or with music playing in the background!

It can be amazing. If you listen to a lot of acoustic or lighter music this thing is insane! I tried it on everything I could think of, with a lot of it being country music, into so lighter stuff like Train with fantastic results. The sound much like a Bose is super rich, and it carries well, and when you pair it with a second one to make it stereo sound it is absolutely fantastic. BUT if you listen to pop, and r&b...things which get into heavy bass it can leave you lacking. It knows its range, and bass drops out, or does this odd substitution of "bass" when it is too much. I tried it with podcasts and it was decent as well. But then you have SIRI. Lets face it, I love Apple, but SIRI is a bare minimum assistant, who even after all of these years gets it wrong, or can't do what you ask. Ask her for a song by title and she plays the first that comes to mind, if you don't know the author you better look it up. There is not touch screen or info on the unit, and it is a bit clunky trying to use with your phone as it keeps trying to use you phone to play music, unless you cut back to get to the home pod to change it. All in all it had amazing sound for most music, but not all. And I do like my bass. There is no EQ so you can't adjust it at all, you get what Apple wants you to hear. Siri needs a SERIOUS upgrade across all apple products, but especially this for it to be a home assistant. Sure buying two makes the stereo pair MUCH better, but in the end I couldn't justify $700 to listen to some of the music I like and a glitchy assistant. In the end I returned it, and will probably just put a wifi receiver on a better home stereo.

I’ve always been an Apple fan. The Home Pod is everything I want and all that I need. I really love that I can ask Siri to play my music at anytime. I don’t want or need a Bluetooth speaker with a “bass boost”. I don’t want one that makes your ears ring like a transistor radio (yep I’m that old). I appreciate a speaker like the HomePod that can calculate the size of a room and play your music the way it was meant to be heard.

Work’s amazing with smart home features. Couldnt ask for a better home assistant

Good for checking basics things. But it’s far from ChatGPT. I use two as stereo speakers for the most of time.

Good sound. I wanted this to connect to my Apple TV but it’s not the primary speakers and there’s an echo with the tv speakers. Really disappointed in Apple

I was shocked by how awesome the sound was. I also loved how easy is was to set up. I will for sure tell all my friends!

Got this for Christmas for my wife and she LOVES it!! Uses it daily!!

Just wish it could be the hub for Apple home. But it doesn’t. You can use it to control things but it won’t act as the main hub.

This thing sounds really good, but I use it mostly for Siri. Easily access all my Homekit devices with out pulling out my phone.

I was apprehensive about buying a quality smart speaker, but the overall experience was positive. The sound quality is exceptional considering I use Apple Music and not low compression audio formats. It’s surprisingly loud. A great ancillary product for music streaming. I do not use the speaker as a smart speaker exclusively, so I can not say much about that aspect, but I was surprised how the speaker could pick up “hey siri” while music was playing. It works well with basic commands.
