Sounds amazing wherever you put it, Simple setup, Seamless integration with Apple Music
No voice-driven radio playback, Siri isn't the best digital assistant, Voice playback limited to Apple Music
That doesn't mean the Apple HomePod is a terrible product. Far from it. It's a stunning example of how engineering and technology can be put to use in new and exciting ways, to improve the way small speakers sound, no matter where you put them.In fact, we...
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...
Abstract: It makes sense, then, that the California-based tech giant looks set to have another crack at the HomePod. Although the original was highly portable, we reckon that Apple is ready to release a compact version of its home speaker system.For this reason, we...
Great design, incredible sound, easy to set up (when it works)
Siri needs some work, lack of third-party app support, can mark furniture, Rating:
The Apple HomePod is, undoubtedly, the best speaker we've ever owned; it looks great, sounds fantastic and it packs one hell of a punch for a 7in-tall device. However, it's not perfect. Siri still needs a lot of work to even come close to matching the adv...
Abstract: So before I get into the HomePod I will say that I brought this out of my own money. I wanted a smart speaker which worked better in the Apple Eco-system than the Amazon and Google alternatives. I've also had this from the release date, so I have been pla...
No radio, Made a mark on our worktop, No multi-room support, No multi-timer support, Only works with Apple Music, Siri sounds horrid
If we were grading the HomePod on its sound performance alone it would be a slam dunk. Apple has produced a small speaker that produces a sound way above its stature, in a way that is enjoyable to listen to whatever you music you're in to. It is a natural...

brilliant sound, can hear you very well, full production at low volumes, choice of male or female voice
Siri not up to scratch, no Bluetooth or analogue audio in, no native Spotify or radio, no Android or Windows support
As a simple wireless speaker the HomePod sounds truly brilliant, knocking the socks off most of the competition, including systems costing more. But because it is locked down to Apple-only devices and services it might not be as easy to fit into your exis...
Excellent, nuanced sound, Great design, Easy HomeKit setup and control, Streaming support via AirPlay
No built-in support for Spotify, Pandora, or other apps, Requires iOS device running iOS 11.2.5 to set up, No Bluetooth or Aux jack for non-iOS devices, No multi-room support at launch
Do buy the HomePod if you are a hard-core Apple user and perfectly happy with Apple Music. Do not buy it if you own any phone other than an iPhone or want to listen to music sources other than Apple Music...
Amazing sound quality, Siri voice accuracy is high, Attractive, understated design
Siri is limited, No Bluetooth streaming, Apple Music subscription needed for a worthwhile experience
Once again, we come to the familiar question with Apple: is it worth spending your money on this product, or are you better off doing so on one that's cheaper and does a lot of the same things, albeit without, perhaps, the same level of polish?The Apple H...
