    Love it. Second one I've gotten in two months since the sad news of the discontinuation. Again, if you don't care about the "cool" popular features most smart speakers have with the voice assistants, and value sound quality, these are for you. I suggest finding one before they're gone. Plus: looking forward to using them with the new 4K Apple TV and PS5 with ARC.

    Sound is best out there for smart home speakers so far. Siri is playing catchup to Alexa and Google BUT Apple will continue to improve and eventually catch up or surpass the others. IF you are all in with Apple, this integrates with your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod, Apple Tv seamlessly. Now you can connect two in stereo for a home theater experience. I have two of these now - recommend waiting for the sales when they drop to $249 or less for best value.

    I LOVE THIS THING. "hey siri hows the weather" "hey siri play some country" "hey siri send this to my iphone or imac" it is epic. i get the small one is cheaper but it has NOWHERE near the sound that this bad boy does. this thing will fill a room even mine with vaulted ceilings and it sounds AMAZING no matter what room it is in. Buy one if you can.

    This is hands down the best smart speaker out there. I’ve tried almost all of them and live the sound and functionality from HomePod the best. I actually went back after a few weeks and got a second one and the way the two speakers manage stereo sound together is fantastic. I look forward to listening to music on my HomePod and it’s great for parties, too. Meanwhile, Siri is getting better and more useful and apple is quickly adding device compatibility.

    While I wish this was as useful as a google home device, if you’re intending this primarily for music I find it hard to beat. Really good sound, it “hears” you well over loud volumes and integrates beautifully with an iPhone. Certainly not for everyone, but if you’re in the Apple universe and like music, this is a pretty nice device.

    The HomePod is perfect for our house that utilizes all Apple Products and also HomeKit, We are also Apple Music Subscribers and the love the rich immersive sound the HomePod generates. It allows guests to use voice commands to turn off lights within our house and even adjust the temperature. Very happy with it. No issues to date.

    Very happy camper, purchased 2 HomePods and am loving the sound. I am an Apple Music subscriber, but have not had any issues streaming iHeart Radio or YouTube to these speakers, so don't buy into the "Apple doesn't play nice with others" narrative. While admittedly not a huge audiophile geek, I can greatly appreciate the sound quality of these speakers...more importantly the wife can appreciate the difference as well. I need all the cred I can get when I buy new toys, lol. Do not hesitate purchasing these. I felt extremely to get these on sale for Black Friday, but hearing them now I'd have paid full price!

    Not all that

    Pros: - Sound quality is great; far superior to my existing Echo. - Product feels high quality, all the way down to the fabric textured power cable. I’d have been upset if this came with the generic Apple plastic white cable that inevitably gets dingy/yellow and begins to fray. - You can use other music services outside of Apple Music (via AirPlay), just not natively. I’d prefer natively, but listing this as a pro because I have seen some misleading posts saying services like Spotify cannot be used at all. That is incorrect. Cons (most regard it severely lacking as a smart speaker): - Cannot set multiple timers. Especially when cooking, I’ll often have multiple timers going on my Echo. - Inability to recognize different people. This one is especially annoying if you want to be able to receive/send calls or texts through the HomePod. The speaker is linked to my phone. Even if I’m not around, anyone with access to the speaker can send or receive messages from me (if the option is enabled), despite the fact they are not me. My options are to either disable the feature entirely, or be aware that anyone (friend or family) who is near the HomePod, would have unfettered access to my messages/calls. - Siri in general is lacking. For instance, if I ask Siri if it is going to rain, all I get is a “yes” or a “no”. If I ask Alexa the same thing, I get a percentage chance of rain and expected amounts. Several other instances, but just one example. - No ability to use other music services (i.e. Spotify, Tidal, etc.) natively with the device. As listed above, it is doable through AirPlay, but this comes at the cost of more in depth voice commands. - Was foolishly hoping the Nest would become HomeKit compatible since Apple made HomeKit authorization digital now (no longer requires physical hardware). That is not the case. Another thing to keep in mind, Apple’s control over smart home items is limited to HomeKit devices. More may come soon with recent changes to HomeKit, but if you have anything from Google (like the Nest) don’t get your hopes up and factor into your purchase decision.

    This is my second HomePod and I love them. My intention purchasing these were for the speaker. I have music playing in my office all day and this product sounds great. Very simple to tell Siri what I want to listen to. I with voice control I can also decrease or increase volume easily as well as pause when I get a phone call. As I expand my smart home products, I also use it with home kit.
