Customer Ratings & Reviews

I think I listened to every speaker, and finally settled on the Apple HomePod. It looks beautiful and sounds beautiful and was priced right. Very high quality. I have it on most of the day. Brings joy into my home.

Sounds great and looks nice and sleek. Only bad thing is that it only works with Apple Music

As this is my 5th purchase of a HomePod, I can strongly recommend one or more if you want to stream music throughout the house and have many other useful features. Siri is not always the best, but the sound quality cannot be matched by another smart speaker.

Had one for a while now and got this second one during Best Buy's big sale in November. This thing sounds absolutely amazing, but can be a pain setting up with homekit. All in all, you will probably have to reset it multiple times as you get used to working with it in homekit, but once you're all set with it, it's nothing but a big pleasure and convenience to have sitting in your room or wherever you'd want it.

Sound quality of these is well worth the premium. (I would wait for these to go on sale for 200 though. I would not pay more than 200 for this even with how good the audio is) The actual smarts - are not the best but my use case is one where I am using this for good audio. If you want smarts and usability I would go for a smart display from Google.

Purchased this on sale for $249.99 and I am totally loving the product. It is the sole object on my night stand now and it definitely fills every corner of the room with rich sound. Hearing it in store is much different but definitely pull the trigger if you love music and have, of course, Apple Music.

Great speaker. I was incredibly surprised with how clear the audio was and the handoff feature works great. Siri is lacking some of the support that Alexa and Google Assistant have but it’s making progress.

Great addition. Siri works better than on my phone. It lacks in Bass but vocals are clear.

Hands down the best smart speaker on the market for sound. The personal assistant side is very lacking but there are other products on the market for that. I have two of these in paired and the sound is amazing.

The Homepod May be a half-baked Apple product, but it sounds great. If you’re already in the Apple ecosystem, you can’t go wrong with this thing. Siri is lagging behind compared to Alexa and Google Assistant, but it is more responsive when it comes to smart devices and should only get better over time.

Well it’s an Apple product, so you know it must sound amazing. Oh it does. The bass is amazing and this tiny thing is loud enough to hear from rooms away. Unfortunately, you need Apple Music to really get the most out of it. Also, it’s not as smart as Alexa. If you have money to blow, then this is great. I wish i had gotten the Alexa.

The HomePod sounds amazing. It is worth the price just based on that. If paired with an iPhone or Apple TV, it’s amazing. Using Siri to navigate Apple Music is less so. Siri activates well, which is good. But the Apple Music catalog is just too vast and complex for it to work well with voice only navigation. Siri commonly confuses similar sounding titles and artists and doesn’t handle natural language requests well at all.

First, If you are using this solely as a music player it sounds incredible. The reviews aren’t lying, it is an amazing streaming music player but problems really come into play with using it in concjunction with Apple TV. It consistently froze the image or cut off the audio, the Apple TV remote control would only occasionally control the volume of the connected homepod while watching TV, and my video quality was also sporadically decent at best when using the HomePod for my audio source. These problems only worsened with the addition of airplay 2 through an update. Basically, it failed to play audio that was not directly requested via voice through the HomePod about 30-40% of the time. I spoke with Apple several times but they never had a solution, constantly forwarding the info to the engineers but they couldn’t fix the problems either apparently. I even upgraded my router and WiFi package but with two expresses and an extreme pulling 112mbps it still wouldn’t cooperate with the Apple TV. My whole house is filled with Apple products and I’ve been thrilled with the results of all of them except this one. Depending on your intended use, it’s either a homer in or a dud.

I might have an addiction to these. 1-2 in each room of my house and I can ask for music and have a dance party everywhere I go, or ask to turn on the lights, lock the door, turn up the heat, close the garage door. They sound great, clear, and fill the space.

At first we thought this might be more hype than substance, but after setting it up, it has amazing sound. Makes our other nodes obsolete. Best Buy had a terrific holiday deal on it, which prompted the purchase, and I have to say we are totally delighted with the product, and Best Buy for that matter.

This is the second HomePod I’ve gotten from Best Buy. They sound great and help us control our smart home. The speaker sounds great for music and movies. My only disappointment is that Siri on the HomePod is missing some functionality that is has on the phone.

Amazingly simple set up compared to the Sonos SL. Works flawlessly, I got it on sale for $200 and it’s totally worth it vs the Sonos SL but at $300 I’m not so sure...sound quality is great but the Sonos sounds good too. The integration with HomeKit is good as well.

Great sound, but lacks the ability to play music from spotify and i wish it were wireless

This is an excellent speaker. I was really impressed with how clear and concise the music is at louder volumes. I am a Apple iPhone user and it works great if you have Apple Music and use Siri. For $199 I would highly recommend this speaker to anyone who uses Apple.

We bought 2; one for each floor. We have found the sound is amazing for the size of the unit. So far any music that we have chosen has been available. You can not use the word 'Siri' unless you want it to do something.
