    Great sound, but lacking in features

    If you considering this speaker, you've probably already read reviews or watched reviews on YouTube. The speaker sounds great! There are smart features there, but not nearly as much functionality as the competition. These features will come with software updates, just like Google Home which launched with a lackluster skill set. Fortunately for me, I'm not that concerned with asking Siri a bunch of questions...although making a call or adding items to my calendar are head-scratchingly missing. (Yes I made up a word!) If you are in the Apple ecosystem, this speaker will be a great addition. Some might want to wait for software updates to add more functionality, but why wait...it's not going on sale (this is Apple).

    I was excited about this purchase and was satisfied initially when I heard the sound quality. It has a very easy setup and hears your voice quite well. However, Siri seems even more limited as to what she can do on HomePod than she is on my iPhone. Also, if you want to connect anything but an Apple device with the supposed bluetooth 5.0 it has, think again. You can't. Only Apple products can be connected to it through Airplay. I wanted to use it as a home theatre system but couldn't. it will connect to my Apple TV but it won't stay connected and is ridiculously difficult to figure out how to connect in the first place. Once it loses the connection you worked so hard to get, it is even harder to figure out how to reconnect. VERY FRUSTRATING! I returned the HomePod after a week. Maybe with the next generation these issues will be addressed. Until then, HomePod is not for me.

    I was hesitant to get the HomePod at launch, but when it went on sale I jumped on it. I love it. It sounds amazing and Siri hears you well. Having Phillips Hue and Apple Music makes the experience however. If you do not own smart accessories or have an Apple Music Subscription I would avoid.

    Pricey but the sound makes it worth it. If ever on sale snap one up especially if your are heavily in the apple ecosystem. Works flawlessly with all things apple. Sound envelops the room it is in; solid bass with clear midrange and highs.

    Amazing! This speaker is incredible. The bass is hard to believe even at low volume. This HomePod is more clear than my soundbar and gets just as loud. I even went back to get another HomePod so I now have a stereo paid and it’s the best.

    I love this speaker. It sounds amazing wherever it is in the room, and can easily hear commands when it is blasting music—I hate having to yell over the sound for my device to hear me. I am really excited to see what new features it has with the IOS 13 software update in the fall!

    The speaker is easy to setup and sounds impressive. I have one HomePod but presume that if I had two they would sound exceptional. I use sonos speakers as well and in my estimation, the HomePod sounds better for the form factor. I also like using Apple Music rather than the sonos app. If you want convenience and aren’t expecting high end audio, the HomePod won’t let you down.

    The HomePod is the best device to use for the HomeKit hub. Being Siri based and in the Apple circle it’s the perfect speaker for my room. The bass is phenomenal and the sound is great. I plan to buy HomePod minis within the next couple months

    This speaker has such a fresh and beautiful sound! The bass is deep and powerful for how small it is. I bought this as a companion to another HomePod for the stereo sound and I am more than pleased with how rich the sound is. If you are into audio you need to have this speaker.

    Set up is easy. The sound quality for music is phenomenal. And I’m blown away by how easily Siri listens even when playing loud. I’ve also been in another room and Siri responded clearly to my request. Hopefully Siri gets more and more functionality down the road

    Easy to setup. Most of my home devices work with Apple. Use it as a Home Hub. So this fits right in. Great sounds too. So that’s good for music. Waited till the price came down because honestly it started out to be overpriced compared to Alexa. No problems have surfaced.

    This speaker puts out great sound and was super easy to set up because we have other apple products. The only issue we have is with it disconnecting from the Apple TV. Sometimes it does it on it's own but if we talk to Siri on the HomePod, we always have to reconnect to the Apple TV every time. Since we mainly use this as a speaker for our TV, that's pretty annoying. Overall, though, we really like it.

    Sound from this is incredible! So easy to use, my 4 year old no says, "Hey Siri, play Frozen music!" Although not as cheap as amazon products, the sound from this is unbeatable! So glad I finally purchased it.

    I would definitely recommend a HomePod to anyone looking to improve their home music listening experience. I just bought my second one and they’re exactly one year apart. One fills the room but two working together, is another experience entirely. When Apple says that two will work in perfect unison, they’re serious. Both HomePods detect each other and work to give equal sound in every direction possible and it doesn’t sound weak or distorted. The sound is evenly balanced and because it senses barriers and walls, it never sounds like its just”blasting” music. The pairing to one another is simple or from another Apple device is also simple. With the HomePod, I’m reminded of Steve’s old line “it just works”, and this really does.

    we got the home pod during the holidays on sale for $250. it works well with our lights and apple music. bass is deep and notes are clear, better than other smart devices. siri is fairly smart, but not as smart as some of the other ones out there. if you mainly an android or google household then this may not be for you. but if you have apple music and apple products then this works well.

    I had a Bose Blue Tooth speaker and it would never link up correctly, I decided to purchase the Apple HomePod, Best choice I made, Sound is amazing and the base is great, Since I have a iPhone I figured the HomePod would be a perfect match and it is.

    I recently purchased a second homepod to utilize the stereo sound feature that comes with owning a pair. These speakers sound great on their own, but stereo sound is truly the way to go. They are extremely simple to pair and begin using and sound incredible! Very pleased with my purchase.
