Sound cristal clear amazing design !! Allow me to control my lights!! Totally a precious thing of technology!!

Some people prefer Alexa but I’m an apple guy this item has incredible sound. Easy to set up and easy to use

Very good product. The bass is rich and build quality is sturdy.

Great sound! Easy to configure, too bad it requires connection to electrical outlet.

Good sound,,,not enough to rival a Home Theater, but still great. Great bass.

Beautiful sound without a doubt! Has the ability to fill the room with distortion free sound even at max volume!

A no-brainer if you’re in the Apple HomeKit ecosystem. For the price, nothin rivals the quality of sound this outputs. Close your eyes to Mozart and you feel as if you’re at the symphony (especially if you have two of them working in stereo), or throw a party and the bass will make everyone move. It packs a beefy A10 processor that leaves plenty of headroom for future Siri improvements and future proofing. Best smart speaking currently on the market, by far.

The Apple HomePod does everything we need it to do. I have one in the home office and one in the living room. I like that I can asked Sir in my office to play the same music that is playing in the Living room and it will sync up and play the same music. I also like that I can pair them up for Stereo and have one as the Left channel and the other as the Right channel. We get news updates, sports, etc. Plus home automation with devices that support Homekit.

Bought three of these for my home. Easy setup and amazing sound. Don’t know what I would do without!

This was a surprise Christmas present. We are using it for weather, time checks for school, some music playback and general voice command generated question and answer situations. The sound quality is very rich and bassy. It has a bose sound quality to it. The wife expects me to buy robo vac to go withit for her use. Setup is almost automatic.

Amazing sound quality, easy to use, and solid build quality. I highly recommend this.

If you’re looking for a way to hear the most pure and awesome sounding Siri you’ve come to the right place. While the software may be lacking on this device, if you’re as deep into the Apple ecosystem as I am controlling your music couldn’t be easier. This truly is one of the best sounding speakers on the market. Far better than any Sonos of the same caliber. Just, as I said before, the software do be lackin doe

Full disclosure I bought this knowing it was limited in it's capabilities, I am just writing this as an overall review of the speaker. The sound quality is by far greater than what you are going to get out of Alexa and Google home, however, if you are buying this as a smart assistant or a smart home controller, you may want to hold off. The home pod is only compatible with devices that are home kit enabled, which is a small collection and tends to be premium and pricey options. Surprisingly, the HomePod does not control the apple tv, so if voice control for television is something you want it will be best to look at Alexa with fire tv or Google and ChromeCast. Lack of support for popular streaming apps is a turn off as well. You can very easily stream music from your iphone to the speaker, but it is an extra step that ignores the basic premise of the speaker being an easy to use one stop for entertainment. If the sound quality from the Google or Amazon offerings is a big turn off, I recommend looking at a Sonos Speaker, unless you absolutely have to have the Apple brand or Apple Music is your sole provider or musical content. However, the speaker is not good at finding a song for you. Both Alexa and Google are much better at identifying lyrics and getting you the song. Home Pod and Siri can only do this if the title of the song is in the lyric you give it. Now where this speaker shines is its sound quality. Bass is nice and deep, and one home pod is capable of filling a 2200 sqft house with sound. Additionally, the latest updates have allowed for you to place a second home pod or compatible speaker in the same area to provide with stereoscopic surround sound. Set up for this is also automatic and very easy to configure. If you are only concerned with overall sound quality while maintaining a device that seamlessly integrates into the Apple environment, then this speaker is for you. If you are OK with a premium price tag, and waiting for possible updates that are promised to add features, this is for you. However, if you want a smart assistant that can control features in your house, I have to say go for one of the others available.

Most people will think its expensive but for the sound quality you get without having to run an amp and wiring to speakers it will be as good as it is going to get. Simplicity is excellent, and if your buying this speaker your buying it for Apple Ecosystem, great sounding speaker, and then Siri. Siri is not as smart as Alexa or the Google Assistant but for most things it is just fine. If you playing jeopardy on the speaker most likely this is not the product for you.

User friendly out of the box. Easy to use and setup. Music has the best sound compared to Bose

Easy to setup. The sound is great. Like that my none technical wife was able to make work quick.

This would be 5 stars if you could use other third-party apps, especially for music. Great sound quality and ease of setup are its biggest strengths.

Great HomePod, the volume and bass are just right. I recommend for everyone.

I love how Siri can hear me anywhere in my house and adjust the lights, thermostat and play great sounding music too!

I also have an Amazon Echo. The big distinction to keep in mind here is that if you're looking for a smart assistant/speaker whose primary focus is voice commands, the Echo is the one to have. If you're looking for something to actually play music through with great sound where the voice commands are the interface, the Homepod is night and day better. Looking forward to getting a second one now that you can link 2+ and have them sync for greater stereo.
