Superb sound quality, Clever auto tuning, Great looks
Siri isn't that smart, Apple user limited, Expensive
The Apple HomePod is one of the best sounding smart speakers out there with intelligent auto tuning. There is a reliance on Siri and this is for Apple users mostly...
Very good music performance, Neutral, balanced sound, Automatic room correction, Airplay 2 multi-room, Big potential (via software)
Apple TV integration not great, Inconsistent Siri functionality, Lip-sync issues with 24fps video, 100% ecosystem product, No surround expansion possible
Apple has reentered the speaker market after a flawed attempt with iPhone Hi-Fi in 2006. HomePod has been built on the philosophy that audio wants to be wireless and as such it has no physical audio ports. Underneath the pretty mesh surface, Airplay 2 liv...
Abstract: It's funny to think about HomePod as a product that wasn't with us this time last year, but Apple's smart speaker didn't hit the market until February 9 after missing its original December 2017 launch window. In the 10 months since HomePod debuted, the sm...
Apple's $349 HomePod has excellent bass and consistently superior sound quality across a wide variety of music genres. The speaker is easy to set up and Siri can hear you from across a room
You're stuck with Apple-only audio services when using voice commands and the HomePod only works on iOS. Siri and HomeKit lack the polish and device compatibility of Alexa and Google Assistant
Apple's HomePod doesn't match the features offered on Alexa and Google Assistant speakers. But if you're an iPhone user who prizes sound quality above all, you should seriously consider this speaker...

Sleek design, Good sound that doesn't emphasize bass too much, Microphones can pick up your voice even with music playing, Selfcorrecting EQ, 360 degree sound
Only works perfectly with Apple Music, Can't even set it up properly without a relatively recent Apple device, Siri still isn't all that helpful, Hard to visually see if the speaker registered your voice from across the room
Despite its faults, the Homepod has the potential to be an even better smart speaker if Apple would just let everyone who decided to spend the $349 use it equally...

Abstract: I didnt understand the Apple HomePod, when it launched six months ago. Sure, I got the business reasons behind Apples smart speaker (everyones got to have a smart speaker it seems), but the HomePod struck me as too stupid and too expensive. It just see...
Abstract: Apple recently updated its HomePod software, introducing AirPlay 2 and support for stereo pairing. I've been using these features since they arrived, and this is what I think so far: Apple's iOS 11.4 update introduced HomePod 11.4, which brought two sign...

I feel badly about some of the names I called Siri. She was doing her best, trying to be helpful. But she could befrustrating.I guess I don't get the point of smart speakers. To me, it seems mostly parlor tricks-impressive in their way, but why bother? Wi...
