    Yes, I know Apple might be updating this HomePod soon, but for $199 it’s a fanatic speaker. Handoff from iPhone & AirPlay 2 just work, also integrates with Sonos.

    Disappointing Product

    Very disappointed in Apple with this product. I changed my smart home to HomeKit 2 years ago. Used my AppleTVs as the hubs and everything worked awesome. I wanted to a smart speaker for music and to be able to control HomeKit without taking your phone out. I did t want to pay the premium for the HomePod until they came out with the mini. Bought the mini and was excited to get it home. Day 1 issues already started. Wouldn’t stay connected to the internet, would t run my automations correctly and other issues. So thought I had a bad HomePod mini. Exchanged it thru Apple. Second one worked for a week then started having connection issues again. Have chatted with Apple and they have no answers. Say it is my issue not the product. I have over 20 devices on my network with no connection issues. I read some posts that said it could have issues with routers that change from 2.4 to 5ghz automatically. For something from Apple, you expect a great product. This is not the case. I am now stuck with a HomePod mini that works 50% of the time if that and nothing can be done.

    I have 10 of these homepods and I have paired them for stereo sound. I can move them all over the house and even outside. The sound quality is fabulous and I love having the option of playing my music from iclould! Free from speaker wire!

    I’m an apple fan, in the ecosystem, but have to say that I’m a little disappointed... We already had Alexa pucks, and I have to say that is not better! Volume and sound quality not better, and the big plus that would be to be playing my iTunes library, it will not understand commands 1/2 of the time... I would return it if I could...

    This was just the most amazing sounding speaker that I’ve ever heard. It may not be the smartest speaker but if you want it for music, it’s the best out there for sure! Make sure to pick one up while it’s on sale!

    Great Product - especially if you are in the Apple ecosystem and it gets new features with every firmware update which makes it a very nice addition. If you set two Homepods you can get even better sound.

    The Apple HomePod is among the best sounding smart speakers for music. Although it is limited to streaming Apple Music, you can play anything via Bluetooth from any of your devices. Siri is there to answer most questions and perform many tasks. A real buy if you can catch it for $100 off as I did.

    Amazing speaker. Was using Amazon products before I decided to switch over to Apple, and the sound quality is superb. Sure, it would be nice if it had an Aux port, but I’ve been perfectly fine without it.

    I have this one close to my router it set up like a breeze with no issues It has great sound. I willing choose to go with home kit but know that you can’t pair just any items with it. So read the labels closely to ensure that it pairs with home kit and not just Seri.

    This things should is amazing! And it’s siri functionality is great and will improve with every update... mater of fact the problems people have with the HomePod are all things that a software patch fixes... but the sound more then makes up for that!

    Super high quality sound. So much better than those round hockey puck looking things that sound like garbage. Noise canceling microphones so you don’t have to yell to turn down the music. Easy to use

    Combine the HomePod with Family iTunes from Verizon and your family will love you for it! Any song, any time, just by asking for it. Without the privacy concerns of others speakers. And much better sound that adjusts to its surroundings.

    This is an amazing product, especially when you have two to create a stereo pair. I use mine connected to an Apple TV and the sound is way better than the Sony soundbar I previously used.

    HomePods are definitely worth it, if you are wondering. From the well built design to the AMAZING sound quality. You just can’t go wrong. I absolutely recommend this to anyone wanting the best home audio device.

    The HomePod is great if you’re and apple customer and if you also have WiFi. It does not work via Bluetooth and if you don’t have Apple Music your options are also very limited. If you fill the 3 requirements thought, you will love this speaker. The quality is decent, and it is also a lot of fun playing with your musi and Siri!

    I had one of these that was always nice for listening to music, but I got a second one and placed them on either side of my TV. The sound is way better than my old sound bar, and music is even better than before.

    I bought this product because I heard it could connect with my Apple TV. Once I got it connected (which wasn’t hard, go to settings audio and video) it gave sound to go along with my sound bar. Along with having Siri, it’s a win, win.
