Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve had a few speakers but I really fell in love with this one. Super easy to set up. 7 tweeters and 1 subwoofers. This thing has massive bass. I’ve cranked it to its full potential and it’s incredible. The bass isn’t distorted and the tweeters are very clear. It plays the Apple Music library which my Alexa didn’t which made listening to music kind of annoying. I don’t need my phone. I can control it with my Apple Watch if need be. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent bass & great sound quality in such a small design, I love it..but only limited to Homekit Echo system.

Fantastic sound quality!! No regrets on this buy, looking to get another one pretty soon

I debated buying Homepod since learning of its creation way back in the day, and even after it dropped tossed and turned over it. I honestly wish I had bought it sooner. If you enjoy quality sound when listening to your music and don’t have a problem with Apple then Homepod is right for you. Siri is so much more helpful and responsive via Homepod, even at max volume she can hear you say “hey siri.” Homepod isn’t like Google or Alexa and what I mean by that is Homepod’s focus isn’t on being a massive online search engine but don’t underestimate her, Siri has a few tricks of her own. One last point to make is that Homepod doesn’t feel creepy. Siri doesn’t feel like she is always listening to you, and that makes me happy. The final product totally justifies the cost.

I’d been pondering about the purchase due to my questioning how much I’d actually use it; since I don’t have like a smart home... And after the purchase was made — oh my word 8) I’m Uber excited about its usage and beautiful sound. I use it as: • my wake-up alarm • to listen to my music (outside of my iPh 11 Pro Max (smiles) without interruption of calls, texts, notification of any sort • but can still take/make calls through my speaker • the sound is absolutely true, clean and powerful • the response “hey Siri” whether anything is playing or not is so accurate, even from a distance (*at least up to 15ft tested in my home) I’m considering purchasing another (1 or 2) for an area or two more in my home. The current pod is in my bedroom. I’m quite happy with the investment made and addition to my Apple goods!

From reading the reviews, I expected this thing to immediately blow me away. It didn’t, but I had to give it a proper chance. I put it in a different spot that was more open from obstructions, and gave it a shake to recalibrate its audio scan feature. I played another song and noticed it was sounding a bit better. It’s about 6in from the wall on a shelf 3ft off the ground with some small decor around it. It’s in my bedroom so I wanted it at a height that would reach above the bed. Well, I laid in bed on my laptop while I had some music playing on the HomePod. I noticed it sounds fuller and more balanced when you’re about 6+ feet away from it. Up close, it’s loud and clear, but no depth to the sound. When at this 6-8 foot distance, you can actually notice the HomePod filling the room and the walls resonate with bass. At that point, I was actually impressed this was coming from the little black speaker on my tv stand. I listened to various genres of music, and some bass-lines in LoFi music made me smile. How can something so small and simple make the room seemingly vibrate around me? HomePod is best for someone looking for an always ready speaker to cast your music/audio to from your Apple device. Siri isn’t the brightest AI, but she can make phone calls, send/read texts, and control your smart home well enough. HomePod is for those that love to listen to music and experience proper sound quality while doing so. If you seek brains over sound quality, check out Google’s offerings.

Apple never fails to impress! Sound is crisp, bass is loud and its loud! Worth the price!

I’m nothing if not stunned by the quality of sound from this speaker. Really amazing for its size. Additionally, while watching my Apple TV, I can add the HomePod as an additional speaker along with my Bose sound bar. Talk about making good sound even better! I’m also quite happy with Siri performance. I had read some negative reviews on how much catching up Apple has to do to make Siri more on par with other digital assistants, but as far as running my HomeKit compatible devices, I’m thrilled with Siri’s accuracy and performance. To really enjoy, you’ll want an Apple Music subscription. Pretty much opens up every kind of music imaginable. I wish the price was lower, although it’s worth the money just for the sound quality. Just make sure you DO NOT buy anything from Nest if you want to automate through HomeKit using Siri on the HomePod. Although they have hinted at HomeKit support for a LONG time, there’s no indication Nest cares to be part of the Apple ecosystem (they’re owned by Google, so duh). Unfortunately, Apple is the only company I can thoroughly trust to honor my privacy, so if it’s not HomeKit compatible, I will not buy it. Thankfully there are MANY great alternatives to Nest that ARE HomeKit compatible!

Talking about bass... this joker tops them all! The sound is so clear and precise. And a plus, you can have the volume up, be across the room, and Siri will still hear you enough to get the music turned down very quickly. We can be in our bedroom and call out to Siri to turn off the lights with Homekit, and it hears us. Yeah, it sounds scary, but it’s the future. This is what we’ve wanted, and Apple has delivered.

Let me preface this by saying my current living situation is a sizable efficiency and only use Apple products and Apple Music lover. I have been using a Sony SRS X55 for 2 years which I love but recently realized that I rarely take it out the house and when I do, like at a hotel I end up not using it and will now just take my Beats headphones instead of a BT speaker. So the HomePod has been a great replacement and better successor to my beloved Sony which I gave to my mother (I’ll borrow it later). Siri has been a game changer and I get up earlier for work with the alarm and then telling Siri to blast music to wake me up and start my day. Lastly I also use the HomePod with a Lifx smart bulb that is HomeKit compatible. I never turn off the light because I fall asleep. Now I can tell Siri good night and finally save on some electricity. This is a great sounding speaker with SOME smart speaker features. Must buy for the Apple club members only. Sorry Droid boys/gals

The sound from this speaker is AMAZING! Siri is amazing and can control my HomeKit devices, this is the best speaker on the market. Hopefully you can catch it on sale like for $199 like me. I wish it was portable and I could travel with it. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS HOMEPOD!!!

Just purchased this. I intended to use it as a sound bar for my Samsung TV. and to play music. The problem is without an Apple TV to control the sound, it won’t work The Apple app doesn’t have controls for this speaker. All in all the sound is great. Punchy bass and clear highs. One of my best Apple purchases.

This was my second purchase of a HomePod and I am delighted to now hear my music in Stereo. I thought the sound was fantastic just using 1 HomePod but the Stereo pairing is AMAZING & so simple to set up. Only downside is that Siri functionality remains limited but that’s more a Siri criticism than a criticism of the Speaker which I highly recommend!

The sound quality of HomePod is amazing. Of course, the main features will be turned on later this year and with the great quality sound combined with Airplay 2 it is a no brainer this is the best smart speaker to have. I was amazed I could go full volume and fill the room with music that was not distorted in the least. Again, sound is amazing and the HomePod will just get better with AirPlay 2 for multiroom playing and being able to connect two HomePods together. Great potential for this product. A must have for an Apple ecosystem.

This is my first Home pod, easy to install and quality of sound is amazing. Looking forward to buy a second one but in Black.

Sound quality is very good, works well with my Apple TV and is much better sound than the speakers in the TV, Hey Siri allows me to navigate my music library with nothing but voice commands works well, and I like the Australian accent.

OMG! The apple HomePod really sounds amazing. I mean it is clear, loud and the bass is just Awesome! I ended up buying 2 of them, one for my downstairs and one for the upstairs. I do not have any smart home/ HomeKit stuff, so, I mainly bought this as a speaker. I have Apple Music, and my husband wanted something a bit different (or better) than my Bose Soundlink Revolve +. The HomePod was the answer! IT blows my Bose speaker out of the water. The whole family is really enjoying this, I like that as I am the only one with an iPhone that the rest of the family can still use the speakers if I am not at home. I really have been impressed with my new HomePod speakers. I really think you should give one a try. Selling my Bose on eBay now! IF you just remember that the HomePod is an amazing sounding speaker first and foremost you will be happy, I promise! I am new to apple, and I love apple products. You pay for quality!!

No other bookshelf speaker I have used in the past compared to the sound quality I get from the HomePod. I placed it in our Living room and connected several items to it via AirPlay. Record player with old iPod connected via audio jack. It Also works beautifully with our LG OLED as an external speaker (latest LG OS with AirPlay 2). Of course works great with Apple TV as well. Cons Siri needs to get smarter Wish switching devices was easier with commands or maybe just more consistent. Need more Apple HomeKit enabled items to work with HomPod Siri commands. Overall heck of a Speaker with Amazing sound.

The sound is so clear! The bass particularly is very impressive, considering the size of the HomePod. I also love how it doubles as a sound bar for the Apple TV.

I purchased the HomePod with intentions to return the device if it did not meet my expectations as it is quite expensive. After using it for less than 2 minutes I already knew it was not going back to the store! I have a Google home I've been using since Christmas and I compared the two alongside each other and was very surprised at how much superior the Apple HomePod was compared to the google home. The sound quality from the Apple HomePod is unbelievable compared to the Google home, and I thought the HomePod was even more responsive than the Google Home was. As for the voice assistant I do know that the Google home has more/better capabilities than the HomePod does, but I simply believe the capabilities the HomePod has are plenty good for the average user. I'd recommend the HomePod not just to Apple users but to anyone interested in a home speaker/ voice assistant as well.
