Incredible sound for the footprint, Apple Music voice control is quick and easy, Setup is ridiculously fast, Clean design and quality construction
Non-Apple music sources are second-class citizens, Siri isn't as strong as an assistant, Stereo pairing and multi-room aren't ready at launch, Android users are left out in the cold, iPhone integration is single-user only
Apple has made an astonishingly good speaker. They've made a great voice-controlled speaker, too. Question is, have they made a great smart speaker?There I'm not so convinced, at least as HomePod exists today. If you're looking for a fantastic Apple Music...

Having tested thousands of speakers and headphones over the years, and endured too many “this changes everything” pitches to recount, I can tell pretty quickly when a new piece of audio equipment is truly something special, or just overhyped by its manufa...

Abstract: Apple released the HomePod speaker this past Friday, and it was probably the only Apple launch we can recall that can't be described as “hotly anticipated.” Sure, Apple fans were excited that the company was entering a new product category, and of course...
Abstract: There are boatloads of smart speakers out there, but nothing quite like HomePod.You can't buy another speaker of this kind for $349. That price tag is not exactly cheap, but if you love music, HomePod should be at the top of your shopping list.Apple doesn...

Abstract: Sometimes, years pass before Apple creates a completely new product like the HomePod. During that parade of iPhone redesigns and MacBook upgrades, it can be easy to forget that when Apple enters a new space, the company does it with swagger. The products...

Here's the thing: for nearly seven years, my household audio has been played out loud via Sonos. I now have 13 rooms in my Sonos system, and life is blissful. It would take a lot to switch me to some other audio-out-loud platform, and HomePod doesn't have...

HomePod is wonderful. It's sounds great and is about as simple and easy as you can get. You can set up HomePod in about a minute and start listening to music before you even have time to throw away the wrapper it came in. There is no muss and no fuss — H...

Sterling sound quality, Impressive mic arrangement, Quick setup
Closed ecosystem, Pricey compared with rivals
If you're an Apple fan and music lover and your home is already filled with Home-compatible tech, then the HomePod is likely top of your wish-list. And rightly so, because this is one seriously pumped-up speaker. As far as audio quality goes, you won't fi...

Abstract: High-quality audio is the signature feature of Apple's new HomePod. Apple execs brush off “Siri so stupid” concerns by emphasizing the sound quality of the device.I'm no audiophile — I would never spend thousands of dollars on speakers, tube amps and gold...
Supports fewer music services than other smart speakers, Siri is very limited compared with Alexa and Google Assistant, Expensive
After listening to the HomePod, I have no doubt that Apple made an impressive-sounding smart speaker. Unfortunately for Apple, Google and Amazon have already set the bar for what a smart speaker can do, and in that respect, the HomePod falls far behind. I...
