    BUY IT IF AVAILABLE!!! Wow I can’t believe I waited 3 years to purchase the HomePod, it’s sad that apple has discontinued this amazing product. As you can see from the picture I have an Alexa smart speaker as well and although Alexa Is capable of doing and answering more, the biggest downside that I had with it was the sound quality and how frustrating it was to play music from Apple Music, with the HomePod that changed. I can easily ask Siri to play a certain playlist or song and plays it. It also works great with the Apple TV, you could use it as a sound-bar. If it’s available buy it. You won’t regret it!!

    I have enjoyed my HomePod. Great speaker and easy to connect to your apple devices. Bought this speaker when it was on sale, plan to buy another one when they go on sale again.

    Got on sale ($100 off) and I jumped on it! It has completed my Apple collection—thank you Best Buy! It’s everything that Apple’s marketing video says. I’m so happy! I gave my aged Bose Sound Dock with the 30 pin and now everything is wireless and wanted new technology within the Apple ecosystem even though I love my Alexa Echo, I don’t use it in the most intimate way (my contacts, etc) for fear of privacy concerns.

    Comparing with alexa, homepod is so limited, Apple need to make the system working with Spotify not only monopoly just for Apple music. Quality sound is more basses, if you like thump bass this is it. The price I got on sale so worth it.

    Now this is my third I have in my home. It controls my Air conditioner and heat, my music in every room in my room, my lights, and more making it the ultimate home system. Sound quality is the best. At its price point, I can honestly say, if you’re not a fan of Apple products and don’t at least have two, I wouldn’t buy this. You also need Apple Music membership to stream music from it at its full potential. So keep this in mind please

    HomePod, first and foremost, it's an excellent speaker. You can place it in any room in your home and it will fill it with excellent sound. Siri is, well, Siri and it gets the job done, but honestly Google Assistant and Alexa are more capable digital assistants. I expect it to get more capable with time like the Apple TV did, especially since the processor on the inside of the HomePod is pretty much overkill for what it does. Airplay 2 is excellent and its easy + fast to redirect audio around your home. Overall, if you live in the Apple ecosystem and use stuff like HomeKit its a great add-on. I like mine and will probably be buying another one in a few months.

    Wow is all I can say. I can feel the music on the surface of my desk at work. Very enjoyable even at low volumes but it will rock out at higher volumes. I have Bose SoundTouch 10 and 20, JBL extreme neither of which can vibrate the surface or give 360 degrees of sound from any angle. Worth every penny!

    Love this Speaker! At the current price on sale, i couldn’t help myself and I decided to add a second one for Stereo Pair. Just one sounds amazing, but two is phenomenal. I purchased my first one 10/20/19 and the second one 11/7/19. Don’t really care how it’s mainly optimized for Apple Music. I use Spotify, and it would be nice to use Siri to play music... instead of having to airplay from my phone. The smart features aren’t has good as Alexa, but at least theres something. I mainly use Siri for controlling my lights. Overall i do love these speakers. I highly recommend if you want to stay within the Apple ecosystem.

    I recently grabbed two HomePods on Black Friday, at a great price, $199 each. I'd been holding out due to the original $349 tag. I love being anywhere in the house and being able to play my favorite songs and albums. If I have an ear worm, I can hear someone better at singing it-- the original artist! I have room-to-room continuity just by saying "Hey Siri. Play (...) everywhere." The picture is the paper doodad that the cord comes wrapped around.

    This speaker, for the size, is the best speaker I’ve ever heard, and I mostly bought it for the sound quality and it paired nicely with my Apple Music subscription. In terms of using the speaker, it’s not quite as easy to use as something like the AirPods would be. And Siri is not quite as independent as it could be. Materials and build quality are amazing as well! If sound quality is important and you want something that pairs well with Apple Music, this speaker is for you. If sound Quality isn’t super big for you, I’d recommend something from U.E. Or a google speaker.

    Great speaker, great voice pick up, sleek design/color, it works as a home commands for all your smart home appliances, and the cord is protected by braided covering so breakage is a low probability. However there is no aux plugin, doesn’t have Bluetooth compatibility, it has no voice recognization so anyone can command it, and the only way to access it is though AirPlay from other apple products. The price was $400 But I got it for $299 even then I still wouldn’t recommend it

    This is our second HomePod. I think they are great. As most people state, them may not be the best smart speaker. However, it does what I need or want a smart speaker to do. Plus, the sound is excellent. Can’t go wrong with this speaker. I will say if your not in a rush wait until sales are expected. It’s usually $50 cheaper when on sale.

    Holy Wow!! The Home Pod is such an Amazing Speaker. it is more than a premium Speaker it is in a class all of its own. The Clarity of the Sound even at High Volumes is perfect, no Distortion. this one Speaker almost puts my entire Bose Home Theatre System to Shame. Bravo Apple, another Great Product.

    Having 2 HomePods paired produces awesome stereo sound. The HomePod hears my requests from anywhere in my studio apartment. Sometimes accidental activations are amusing. Fully worth the price for 2, especially since my second one was purchased when they were on sale. Recommended for anyone into the  ecosystem.

    As I am "all things Apple," this fit in perfectly to enhance my music streaming experience. A breeze to play my Apple Music, podcasts, audiobooks through the HomePod. Love having Siri read & answer texts, answer questions, give me the weather, news etc. This is my second one & the stereo sound from having both pods playing together is great. And the set-up is quick & east.

    Overall completely blown away with all the issues this thing has!! Don’t get me wrong the sound is impressive but that it. Siri is useless which I knew that going into it however when you buy apple products you expect the seamless connectivity and ease of use! That’s why I have many many apple products. However this doesn’t even seem like an apple product... it actually makes trying to listen to music a total hassle. And I have new iPhone 11 with Apple Music! Long story short airplay can’t even get through one or two song without stopping. Half the time it can’t even connect if I skip the song it just sits there thinking, and if I use Siri to play my music and does the same thing.... NOTHING!!! Some of the forums ive read said you need a good Wifi setup. Well rest assured I have the best possible WiFi! 1000mbps downloads!! So that is clearly not the case. Trust me I love apple products. I have almost every single one but this is complete trash. Totally useless piece of tech. And I’m saying all this when I bought it 9on sale for $199!! NOT WORTH THE HEADACHE!
