    The HomePod is a beautiful piece of decor that sounds amazing. I love how you don't have to think about it or can even hear where the sound is coming from, it just puts great music in the room for you to enjoy. The ability for Siri to hear you on this thing is amazing! You can have the music going at full blast and just talk normal for Siri to hear and respond. It's truly unbelievable. I'm just starting to use the "tap your phone" feature to transfer music or phone calls back and forth. It's nice that everything works so well together if you have an iPhone. We did have to switch to Apple Music instead of Spotify but I was able to download an app to move all the playlists over and it's the exact same price a month. PLUS- you can play different songs on different HomePods or Amazon Echos in the house instead of stealing the other currently playing one like Spotify does. We have two HomePods in the house. Tried them as a stereo pair for a AppleTV but decided to just split them up on different floors instead.

    Love the apple mini homepod speakers. I now have 3 of them, and have paired 2 together for my bedroom. The sound quality is great, and does a great job with surround sound when watching movies. Changes your viewing experience drastically. I had one white, one black and now have this radiant orange color. You have to try it...brings a large sound quality from such a low footprint of a speaker.

    I already have a lot of apple products in my home, so this made a lot of sense. This one was purchased to create a stereo pair in my office, which has an Apple TV as well. The sound is very full, but is a bit biased to the bass. Overall, I love the ease of use and ability to play my Apple Music tunes, and get Dolby Atmos sound on my TV as a bonus!

    This purchase was two units, my 2nd and 3rd. I decided to add a couple of rooms. Nice to have the option of syncing across rooms. The sound for the size is still amazing, this makes them very easy/flexible to locate. We have one on top of a kitchen cabinet. Even when playing loudly or with other noise in the room Siri can hear a command given in a normal voice.

    Consistent with the YouTube reviews I watched, the sound quality of this thing is way above any other smart speaker of the same size. You can absolutely use this in a bedroom/bathroom/kitchen to play music while you are going about your day, or take advantage of the other smart features (homekit control, intercom, Siri). It won't replace a true surround-sound setup in a home theater space, but in a smaller room, two of these in stereo paired with an apple TV can make for a massive sound upgrade over built-in TV speakers.

    The HomePod mini was a good addition to my barracks room. I bought 2 so I could try out the dual speaker feature, which works well. I had a few issues with the initial setup in the Home app but it seemed to have worked itself out. The HomePods though seemed to disconnect from my WiFi while I was away for 2 weeks and there was no other way to fix that in the Home app other than rest my HomePods completely and re-add them. Hopefully this will be an issue that will be fixed with future updates of the Home app as well as the HomePod mini. Overall, works great. Sound quality is great, not as room filling as the original huge HomePod, but still has superb sound quality for its size.

    Good smart speaker, but not great

    First I want to say that I am happy with my purchase. The HomePod is a good sounding and reasonably competent smart speaker. I purchased this on Black Friday and at that price I think this was a fair deal. The things that stop this from being a 5 star review are as follows: The reviews I read stated this as the best sounding smart speaker and this may be true, but in my opinion it is not the best sounding portable speaker. I have a Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker that is of smaller form factor that I feel is a better sounding speaker. As a smart speaker, Siri is ok but I have a Google Home Mini that is more competent at internet type questions. I don’t have any smart home devices that Siri or Google can control so I can’t speak to that, but the grand kids have a lot of fun asking Google stupid internet questions that Siri doesn’t handle as well. I have asked questions that Siri did not answer that Google did. It would be nice if the HomePod supported music platforms other than Apple Music like Spotify or Pandora. Now this was not a real issue for me as I had Apple Music for free with my phone service but for other users this may be an issue. Pluses for the HomePod. I would like to mention that the HomePod can answer a phone and do so for multiple users. The Google Home Mini can place an internet call with a predetermined phone number For caller ID but it cannot answer a call to your phone (it can answer duo phone calls). The HomePod can place calls from your phone and answer phone calls to your phone. It does this for multiple users as it determines which phone to use by your voice. I wanted this feature so my wife can answer her phone while being busy in the kitchen which is where our HomePod is setup. Another plus for the HomePod is that setup is so easy. Granted you have to be an iPhone or iPad user but most of the setup is copied from your iPhone or iPad. Things such as WiFi setup and Siri recognizing your voice is all taken from your device.
