Abstract: Yesterday it was discovered that HomePod can leave white rings on oiled wood finishes during normal use — something that is not obvious nor ideal. Apple responded by saying that it's not unusual for ‘vibration-dampening silicone' to react that way and rec...

Seriously excellent sound, Siri responds quickly to commands, Subtle design, AirPlay streaming works well
Siri is limited compared to its rivals, Can't identify multiple users, No Bluetooth streaming or audio inputs, Limited third-party support (for now)
In a way, the HomePod is a remarkably pure machine: it's meant to make your music sound great, and that's about it. Viewed purely through that lens, the HomePod is a fantastic first attempt and one that delivers on its promise. Taken as a whole, though, t...
Incredible power, rich audio quality, Ability to adapt its tuning based on acoustics analysis, Chic, modern design
Pricey at $350, Lack of music services integration beyond Apple Music (though you can use AirPlay to stream Spotify, Pandora, etc.), Siri isn't as intelligent as other voiceassistant services, Only compatible with iOS devices
Smart speakers have been growing in popularity not only thanks to their functionality and intuitive integration in a smart home environment, but also with their reasonable pricing. Most of the popular ones, like the Amazon Echo and Google Home, have alrea...

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...
