    If you're a fan of Apple products, this won't disappoint. We owned a pair of Sonos Play 1, which were also great but I've enjoyed the HomePod even more because: setup is much easier, it sounds just as good (actually, better in terms of base and depth of sound), it's a more flexible system - easier to move around and readjust and easier to pair with additional speakers (we purchased 2 HomePods), and of course, it's a smart device and it works very well with other HomeKit compatible devices. We're able to control all of our devices with the HomePod. The HomePod instantly became a part of the family or so my children thought as they seem to call out for Siri throughout the day, every day.

    I bought this after many reviews. Really curious on how good the speaker really is. Decided to just try it out and return it since I’m an elite member, I have 30 days.... but... after just 2 days, I decided to keep it because the speaker is amazing. Apple delivers on the speaker with “smart speaker feature” as a bonus. I say this because first and foremost this is a premium speaker system. This speaker is crystal clear when it comes to sound. Bass is absolutely amazing as it doesn’t crack at all, even at 100%. I can’t wait until Apple add 2 speakers Airplay. Siri can hear you even with the speaker at full blast without you shouting commands.

    Great sound from a tiny speaker. Paired it with my Mac Studio for a desktop speaker. I recommend getting 2 for stereo but one sounds amazing.

    Whether coupled with Siri & Apple Music (and other Home Pods), or used to enhance you tv speakers, this is a magical devise! Surprisingly good, distortion free sound for such a small wonder!

    Purchased this speaker on an open box special. In the beginning I wasn’t blown away but I quickly realized older music sounded okay. Once I played update higher quality music WOW did the speaker come alive; bass is room filling for a speaker it’s size. I have an amazon echo 2 and there is no comparison sound wise. Siri is adequate when using her for music or menial tasks. The more I listen to the speaker it just seems to sound better than the day before. It must learn your environment over time because it seems to fill the room more and more over time. I can only imagine what two or three of these speakers together sound like. I am not sure it is worth the steep $349 price tag but if you can get it for $300 or less don’t hesitate. Perfect Christmas gift!

    I have several of these around the house. I really appreciate how responsive Siri is on the HomePod. Great "big" sound from a small device. And the Intercom feature has saved my vocal cords when we need to get our kids attention from their converted attic bedroom.

    Helpful for small tasks -- checking the weather, alarms, timers, speaker phone for calls. It has a nice bass for a wee speaker. She never follow thru with my phone calls though, maybe it's because it's a first gen. Oh well, would recommend. 10/10.

    Has the usual amazing Apple product design, elegant look, amazing sound. Main flaw is the software being extremely buggy and laggy. iPhone 11, has connection stalls, volume controls on phone stop working, doesn’t connect to airplay on Mac reliably, “handoff” feature relies heavily on network connection.

    Good sound but disappointed by functionality

    Sadly, I have been growing increasingly disappointed with Apple products over the last 18-24 months. I had high hopes for this speaker. In terms of audio quality we enjoy the sound. Siri commands are nominal which is about what you'd expect at this point as Siri is fairly limited. Our biggest disappointment with the speaker is the ability to play music from various devices in the home on the network. It only syncs up with one primary itunes account and then has a strong default to only that music. There are times we'd like to more easily stream music from our amazon music or other audio from videos etc. and it just isn't very smooth or streamlined. Overall, we might purchase a second one as we had planned, but the first experience has definitely given us pause on this decision. We may ultimately decide to go ahead with it, but now we have more realistic expectations i suppose. Just seems like the user experience switching from phones or computer on the WiFi network in the house would have been easier and not feel so limiting.

    Excellent sound from such a small speaker. The only downside is that it is a wired speaker. No snap, crackling or popping noise like in some Bluetooth Speaker. It works wonderful for our use.

    Stout sound. Great as a pair with a tv. Kids love Siri integration and hand off. Surprising. Better than any small sized unit. I wish I didn’t go Sonos and had just gone with these around room

    This speaker has been a great addition to my wireless home. I find myself using it daily and love being anle to tell Siri to turn the lights off or play a specific artist. Setup was super easy too.

    Sounds pretty good when two minis are paired together. World of difference compared to the echos. Not sure if it’s worth the price for the sound quality though.

    Great! It works exactly as you need. Its always there, responds well to Siri and looks great with most decore. Much easier on the eye than the homepod. It also has incredible sound dynamics! Comes in a variety of colors. We have both gray and white to match our home.
