Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased two in order to link them for stereo setup. Saved $200 on the pair. Setup took 2 minutes. Takes you through a few steps to get your voice pattern down. Then it updated the os to the latest version. All in all about 20 minutes time. The sound on loud is great and party worthy. But it shines on low volume listening to some chill, meditation or new age. This also works with smart lights and switches from Philip Hue. It’s a nice setup I was willing to pay $200 but $300 was too much. They should sell them at $169 and would likely sell a bunch of them. I did also try Amazon Echo Studio. It connects to more stuff, but how well,it works is hit and miss. Music from other service often quit playing. It sometimes locks up.. never had these issue with HomePod. It’s not perfect but we like them. Anyone want to buy two used echo studios. LOL

This is my second HomePod . Bought it for stereo pairing with Apple TV . I had been looking for a good Atmos system without breaking the bank . My living room is small so after trying two other sound bars , Sony HTST5000, The Sony got loud (loud doesn’t always equal good ) and a Soundcore Infini Pro (sound like it came from a can ) . I decided to look at something else . This setup works Great ! Now understand this , it’s not a True Atmos system as it lacks up firing speakers however, it simulates Atmos pretty well and fills the room withQuality sound . My only complaint would be that it is limited to the Apple TV 4K and can not be used for my 4K Blu-ray player . I hope that in the near future Apple will allow pairing with the new HomePod Mini for a set of rear speakers for a full immersive experience. Bottom line, if your in the Apple ecosystem it’s kind of a obvious choice. I did get my first HomePod at a ridiculous low price several years ago so that helped ease the pain some .

Have all Apple products (IPad iPhone MacBook etc) and it works seamlessly together. Connection and ease of use are very good and sound is great considering it’s a small speaker. We also have Bose and Amazon speakers which are good but with Apple products it always seems this is our go to speaker because of connection and convenience.

Awesome sounding speaker. Apple put awesome technology into developing thhis speaker. It may not be the smartest speaker on the market, but is the best sounding smart speaker on the market, hands down. One caveat, it’s Apple, so it’s regular price is pricey. But audiophiles looking for great sounding smart speaker, your search will end here

Great sound, easy to setup and connect to Apple products. Have not tried to setup with non-Apple. Does not work well as a TV speaker. Tried it and it is not designed for it at all. Weak sound. For music it sounds much bigger and fuller than it looks. Seems like it is very well built.

- Sound volume and quality is great. - Siri is a HUGE improvement over what you get with an iOS device. - It’s made well, and is very heavy. - The 6 built-in voice microphones can hear me from anywhere in my house. - Apple’s privacy settings are a major plus. No worrying about what Amazon or Google is going to do with all my information.

Great sound from the HomePod, especially if you pair it with another for true stereo sound. Siri works okay, but I mainly just use this as a music speaker. It has amazingly good bass for its size. It also works well with an Apple TV using AirPlay.

The quality of this speaker is great given its size. Being able to use Siri for voice controlled music and other things is fun. Integration with Apple TV needs to be improved upon, however. We use this as the central hub for our Smart Home and love it. Siri has improved over the years so we find ourselves cursing much less because of that.

I have to say that this speaker is the best. He sound is amazing, the easy access to siri is super. The look of it. It is stunning and fashionable. If I have to same something bad about the HomePod it will be the price. But for the quality and the sound that you get from it. It is a okay...

THE BEST SOUNDING blue tooth speaker (for it's size and price point) available...anyone that says differently isn't listening to them set up as a stereo pair! Siri needs a lot of improvement to catch Alexa though...but overall she does a nice job (controls all automation in my house too...garage door, lights, scenes etc). Slightly pricey...but worth it for the sound quality alone.

I am impressed with the sound from this speaker. I wish the volume could just a tad louder because I like my music loud, but it has a nice sound and deep bass sound. I purchased two. Even though both are not in the same room as recommended for pairing, I can pair both for surround sound (one is in the living room and one is in the bedroom).

I got this speaker to compliment my Apple TV 4K for traveling. I did not have much interest in it at the $300 price tag. However, I was able to get it open box at lower than the $200 sale price tag. I am glad I got it. Pros: sound is very good for the size, easy interaction with other Apple products, it can be used to make and answer phone calls, can be paired with a second HomePod and linked for better sound or multiple room configuration with Airplay 2 and Sonos products. You can have Siri read or send texts and multiple user voice recognition, plug and play. In addition you can use the HomePod to control smart home devices, Cons: its a heavy speaker for the size, no external jacks available, power cord is permanently attached. It works with only Apple Music. It has NO BLUETOOTH you need an iPhone or IPad to connect to it. If you are an android user I don’t recommend it but if you love Apple products like I do it’s a great addition to your Apple family. All in all it works great as a speaker with excellent sound quality sound and interacts great with other Apple products.

I paired two together to get stereo sound in a large room. The sound is great. It fills the entire room. Siri is responsive and their are a lot of options to limit access controls if others in the house will use. It is only an option if you have apple content in iTunes or if you use Apple Music. There are not options to play other content.

Premium sound. Siri works well handling any tasks, and works well with HomeKit. In my opinion the sound is light years better than the HomePod Mini. It's sad to see it being discontinued. Unless we have a HomePod 2 being announced in the nearest future. WE can hope!

I understand that people have reservations about the HomePod not being able to perform the duties similar to Google Home and Alexa. However, I didn't purchase the HomePod to perform all those type of duties as Alexa. I purchased it to work with my Apple Music and the sound is awesome! I added a 2nd one and paired it to my 1st one and the sound quality across the room is very impressive. My teenage kids were even impressed with the sound quality and they are very critical. As a bonus, I added Phillips Hue bridge and lighting to my home and Siri controls the lights and can control any smart device compatible with Apple HomeKit. Siri via HomePod can also provide weather, traffic, notifications, and other tasks also. If you have iPhone or iPad, you can use HomePod to hear text messages and use it as a speaker phone or bluetooth speaker to play music directly from your apple device. If you are a Apple Music user or use iPhone or iPad or use Apple HomeKit compatible smart devices, the HomePod is a great addition and compliment. I also can't say enough about the sound quality. I've heard other similar speaker's sound and they do not compare to the HomePod sound quality!!!

Truthfully, I think this speaker has a bit more to go before I would consider it worth buying for $350, but my buddy and I got it for $230 and that definitely made it worth it. The size is bigger than I thought, the sound quality is just flawless, and I feel like Siri is just a tad smarter on the HomePod in certain areas than on iPhones.

This is my second HomePod. Since pairing my new speaker with the one I already owned, I have been enjoying exceptionally high-quality stereo sound that fills every inch of my family room. Everything from the initial setup to connecting the Homepods to the Home app was straight forward. This was a great purchase!

If anybody appreciates true quality sound then it is every penny’s worth. You will not be disappointed. There is no comparison with Amazon or Google. You get what you pay for. It is super heavy for a speaker but that shows why the speaker is expensive. It truly seems built like a tank. Enjoy the music. You will want to keep listening all day long.

I already owned a google home mini which stays in the kitchen but I knew that when this came out I was going to get it. Siri is not the best assistant by far, but the one I use. The sound quality is amazing and setting up stereo pairing was very fast. I love this speaker!

The sound projects well it’s good over all that’s a pretty deep sound a lot of bass Siri is excellent isn’t as knowledgeable as Alexa yet I’m mostly use this while my dad was on hospice It took him a while to realize he could ask the HomePod what the weather was going to be it was pretty funny. “Hey Siri what’s the weather?”
