    Wow! Excellent sound produced in such a small speaker. Siri commands are...well— needs a major software update. Would like to see an update like now in order to pair two units to enhance the listening experience. Hopeful here...let’s see.

    Apple does it again by making me realize how much I need something after a purchase. The sound is phenomenal, after the sale it’s a no brainer to buy!

    I'm very heavy in the Apple ecosystem. Always thought that the HomePod was very expensive. I have about 9 Amazon shows/echos but want to jump on HomeKit because of privacy concerns. Unfortunately I don't think Apple is ready to take over duties yet. As far as sound goes, it does sound great but not better than the amazon sub at the same price. I have Apple Music but I can also play that on my Alexas. All in all happy I made the purchase but I struggle to find a niche for this HomePod to reside in. So far it's main use is playing classic music which it is an absolute beast for.

    I started with the Echo and Echo dot, but became frustrated when Alexa couldn’t understand me with turning my Hue lights on and off. Siri gets it almost every time.

    Best home speaker I’ve heard without being studio monitors in a stereo pair. A bargain for the price. Makes Bose technology sound antiquated.

    Caught this on sale at $199 and don’t regret it. The sound is outstanding. While Siri has a ways to go still, it is still a great investment.

    Overall the best quality is the sound. As a user of iTunes, this speaker works great to play music. As we begin to set up our smart home, the HomePod works great.

    It sounds good, but not sure I would spend money on it again. I was really hoping Apple would make further investments into more speakers and create a Sonos type environment. Not so for so not sure I would buy any more.

    Only for Apple Music Devotees

    Sound quality is good for a small speaker, but make no mistake, this is a small speaker... a small mono speaker. It will fill a space with music, but don't expect it to fill a room, unless the room is a closet or you have two to make it stereo. That's just the physics of sound. While you can manually stream any music or music service you like to HomePod via a Mac or iDevice you can only use Siri voice control to control music playback (performer, genre, etc) if yo have Apple Music or iTunes Match. It cannot be used to control HomeSharing, if you use that on your Apple devices. You can control volume though no matter what the source of your music. HomePod only works with AirPlay. There is no way to connect via Bluetooth or a wire. My big disappointment with HomePod, and why I ultimately gave it 2 stars, is that it's microphones to summons Siri are way too sensitive. HomePod can hear me even on floor down. The result, if I "Hey Siri" a question to my iPhone on the table in front of me, HomePod upstairs will answer. There is currently no setting in iCloud to lower Siri's sensitivity or disable completely and let another iDevice act as a remote. That would solve that problem. Bottomline: if you have bought into Apple Music and no chance of switching to a different service HomePod may be a good option, depending on whether you use Hey Siri on your other devices. For everyone else, while maybe not as good sounding, Sonos One with Airplay 2 support offers more versatility in connections and streaming service options.
