    A solid speaker from Apple's past

    This was a replacement for a HomePod that died, sadly out of warranty. For all the HomePod's quirks, is is a great sounding speaker and it's too bad Apple has discontinued it.

    I have several Echo speakers throughout my house and wanted to give Apple’s version a try. Price was always the issue. When these went on sale, it was a no brained to buy. Awesome sound and performance.

    This is my 2nd HomePod purchase. I wanted to expand by being able to use another one in a different room or pair as a stereo in same location. Boy was I blown away by how good these sound when paired as stereo!

    I had a sonos speaker before this but wanted to integrate into the apple system so I purchased this. Speaker sounds good but the capabilities of the speaker are limited you cannot call someone on it but you can answer a call. Maybe there will be a upgrade in the future but for now only gets 4 stars.

    Having one pod is ok but volume just not loud enough to create kinda a party environment but now with two HomePod the audio is perfect for whatever you want ... I’m just in love of these two speakers !

    Bought two more Homepods to add to our “system.” Awesome for playing the same music throughout the home, or different music in different rooms. Also cool for linking two (or more) together in the same room for surround sound.

    I purchased this not for the smart assistant feature but for the speaker. The sound quality is incredible and I am able to cast the sound from my TV to the HomePod, essentially creating a sound bar.

    I jumped at the chance to purchase this at a recent sale and even splurged to get two and the sound quality rocks! And the functionality of having something like this in a HomeKit enabled home is invaluable.

    The HomePod disconnects itself sometimes when your in the middle of playing music or there difficulty reconnecting. Bass is good though could’ve got a regular Bluetooth speaker, the HomePod not really all that

    Shadows of greatness, body of incompetence

    I’ve been an Apple user for over a decade, and as someone that made a career making iOS apps, I really hoped the HomePod would have stepped up the game for personal assistants. The problem isn’t necessarily what it’s bad at (primarily being that it can only be tied to a single user), it’s that it isn’t particularly good at anything beyond just being a great speaker. The voice commands work decently enough, but there’s such a vast lack of compatibility beyond texting/calling somebody that it’s essentially a voice-activated speaker phone + weather announcer. Pair this with its inability to determine users based on who’s connected to the same Wi-Fi, vocal signatures, etc., and this device will leave you underwhelmed. The audio quality is bar none, but without better features, your money would be better spent elsewhere.

    Average. Not the best speaker in my opinion. It's strictly locked to Apple. We as a family use Spotify because we get 6 spots to share and Apple Music has 5. I guess I could have done better search before buying this product, but nevertheless returned it. I guess it works if you're using Apple Music.

    These little speakers are Impressive and loud. They do a great job replacing my old 5.1 surround sound speakers, sub and receiver combo. Just wish they worked with more than just the Apple ecosystem though.

    This is the second of these I have purchased. The sound of the first one was very good. We just moved into a new house with large living area, and got a second one set up for true stereo. Sounds amazing!

    If you have Apple Music and Apple devices, this is a no brainer...great sound, "Hey Siri" can be picked up very easily and if you have any HomeKit electronics, then you can start using the HomePod as your voice activation.
