    Great product. Overall installation is super simple. The best thing about this is the sound quality which is the only reason why I bought this. Having it as a smart hub for my homekit is a great as well. If you have Apple Music Subscription, the HopePod makes 110% sense.

    I've already invested myself within the walled garden, so the HomePod is a great addition to get great audio quality from my computer, iPad, or iPhone. It pairs seamlessly with airplay and sounds good wherever you put it. Occasionally has some glitches, but updates are always coming out. Maybe not worth the full price or $300, but sales are frequent.

    Purchased originally for music playback only but once hearing the audio playback from a movie while streaming thru an Apple TV, it was really good. I have paired a second Homepod and placed on either side of the TV and use it while watching movies and listening to my favorite music. This unit is best utilized in a bedroom or office setting. In my opinion, it does not perform well in large rooms. Although it does not distort at full volume, it just isn't enough for a large room for my taste.

    I am a Apple geek for sure. I don't own everything they make but I am pretty loyal at this point to Apple products. I have a bunch of bluetooth speakers and wanted to try to see how it compares to some of the powerhouse ones I already have like the new Bose line. Overall I think the sound from the speaker is impressive but I think the Apple screwed up on a few things. One, the speaker isn't portable. It has to be plugged in at all times so to me it is very cumbersome. I love my Bose because I can pick it up and take it anywhere with me and it'll have great sound in my room. The homepod basically has to stay in one spot. It would have benefited greatly from a charging station. It produces great sound. Probably some of the best I've heard from a speaker, but for 350 dollars I feel like it could be better overall. When I play music and then switch to a facebook video there is considerable lag in the sound, and it's not easy to switch off that device because the Homepod is considered under a Home device and not a bluetooth device. It is nice that the homepod can play music on its own sans your phone if you talk to it and say "Hey siri play Ray Lamontange". But it only plays apple music, no pandora or spotify. I do have to say the Apple to me is really good at releasing products, but usually I wait until the second or third version before I buy a new product. Look at the difference between the first apple watch and the third series now. The third series is what the watch should have been from the get go. I think the same applies to this speaker. In 2 years they will release a speaker that is portable, smaller, and can produce the same amount of sound and that will be the one I ultimately buy.

    As a speaker it has amazing depth and bass. As a smart hub it’s very limited due to lack of third party product availability. I feel it’s overpriced for what it does but what it does it does well. I would recommend this at a lower price. I got it for $199 on sale. I think it would be a better value $100 lower but you’re going to pay a premium for that Apple logo and ecosystem.

    When the HomePod is on sale for 199.99, there is no other "smart speaker" that can compete in sound quality. If you are looking for a smart speaker that has the best sound, this is it! When it comes to actual smart features however I prefer "Alexa" products. If you're an Apple user, this is the best speaker to get.

    Love the Apple HomePod! I like the fact you can make phone calls from the speaker, control volume, music etc without ever having to leave your chair. It was really special when Best Buy had them on sale for $100 off retail. We liked it so much, we bought two of them! Highly recommend!

    I really love my HomePod. The sound is excellent I’m glad I bought it because I’ve heard it Apple is going to start manufacturing these larger HomePods. I was also able to pop by a couple HomePod minis and pair them with the regular HomePod for surroundsound with my television set. It is absolutely a game changer.
