Works nicely, integrates well with the Apple ecosystem. Pretty good sound for a speaker of that size.

Great little speaker if you’re in the Apple echo system

Great little speaker if you’re in the Apple echo system

The sound that comes from this little device shock me I was just blown away from the output

Great speaker and pleasing to look at. Voice recognition is quite good and works well with other Apple devices. Wish it was able to work without a wire.

really like it. added to my other products. one stop to use all products

Apple has a serious software problem with this device - when I have to restart and reset the device multiple times to get it working out of the box (outside of the software upgrade), there is clearly an issue. Setup shouldn't take more than 30 seconds - transfer the iCloud account info and wifi info from my iPhone and the HomePod should be able to take it from there - that is not the case. Instead it takes several minutes to communicate with your phone. And then for me, it couldn't do anything because of network issues (even though it is 20 feet from a gaming router with no obstructions), so I had to keep resetting it and going through the initial setup process until it now finally seems to be working. Sound quality is good out of the little device, but I think a lot of people would have returned it by now. The Home app from Apple has much more limited smart devices that are compatible with it and even the HomePod doesn't have dedicated settings in it. The other annoying thing is that the cable is hard wired into the device, so every time I had to reset it, I had to dig around the back of the cabinet to unplug it. Comparing to other smart devices, I like the Amazon Echo because setup is easier, it is compatible with significantly more smart devices, it works with a lot of music services (including Apple Music), and you can likely find one with the sound quality that meets your needs.

Good price, and decent sound/value. Bought to use as a HomeKit hub -- and it definitely excels.

I wanted to get a second one. It was easy to setup and update. Works great.

Love the mini! We have the big one also but you cannot sync the mini to the large. Wish i had gotten 2

I love the ease of the HomePods. I own three and they all connect together and to my phone instantly.

Surprised by the Bass!! The stereo pairing is awesome!!

Way better then expected. Paired with another mini to provide a great experience.

Awesome speaker! Sounds great and connects with iPhone and Siri smoothly!

Best tiny speaker ever! Excellent bass and cute form factor that fits anywhere.

Set up is easy, but sometimes using it is confusing. Sounds great. Actually a great buy for only $100

Love it!! Works great and looks amazing too!! Listens to my voice great too!!!

always wanted one and im glad i did can listen to music sounds great too!!

I want to like this so much more than I am able to. First the good stuff. This is a fantastic speaker. The HomePod coupled with Apple Music is a great combination. The music fills the room, is rich, and clear. I have tried several standalone speakers, most connecting through Bluetooth, and the HomePod has bested them all in sound quality. Now the not-so-good stuff. Siri, the familiar assistant, is nearly impotent. There’s almost nothing outside of playing music that it has successfully performed for me. And even in the music area it falters. For example, I figured surely Siri and the HomePod could create a station or play an audiobook, but it can’t. At least it can’t play an Audible audiobook (which, honestly, I half expected as Audible is Amazon’s app). Siri can’t do anything in my house with the smart devices I have set up, whereas Alexa is all over it. Alexa is straight up better than Siri by light years. My hope is that Apple will get on the ball and roll out a great update that will drastically improve the HomePod’s assistant abilities...but, I’m not holding my breath. And that’s a shame, because this area seems right up Apple’s ecosystem alley, connecting and supporting all of it’s technology in a well integrated system. This feels like a gaping hole in that system out of which Amazon is siphoning valuable potential. Meanwhile, Amazon’s Alexa is adding Apple Music to its repertoire soon. I’ve adopted Alexa now for my smart home gadgetry, and it’s going to be tough for Apple to pry me loose from it, even if they start showing some love to the HomePod assistant functionality. But, man, that HomePod speaker? And having two in a stereo pairing? Amazing.

Siri's voice is crisp and clear, the sound quality is amazing especially if paired with another one.
