About a week in now.
Set up is a snap. Take it out the box , plug it in and hold your phone up to it. It transfers all you settings including Wifi password etc. and is ready to go in under a minute.
Sound fills the room well. And adjusts to acoustics in the room and where you position it.
Bass is crisp and the speaker doesn't struggle with it. Nice highs. Of course the music source isn't Hi Fidelity so you can't expect great sound out of any standard music player.
It's obviously geared for home music. With Apple Music Siri is lightening fast. "Hey Siri" "Play the last Waltz. " Ok here's the Last Waltz by The Band--boom it instantly starts playing. No delay or hesitation.
Don't have any accessories for Home Kit yet so I can't speak to control of lights etc.
Siri itself is only adequate as far as providing info, isn't up to the competition but I really don't think it's meant to be--at least not yet. Device isn't really geared for that.
Of course, as is usual Apple is proud of it, as reflected in the price...$349.00

I don’t think this is as much a thing as people think. If the speaker sounds great to you then don’t worry about it. Looking forward to seeing the full potential of this speaker. Hopefully it will live up to its price tag.

Good man. I already can envision people coming in and shitting on your or the homepod in this thread BUT if you're happy, that's all that matters!!!

I'd love to get one, I just cant justify $350 on it.
Much like their AirPower strip coming out that's gonna run $199. Ive got 5 wireless charges at 12.99 placed all around my house for a fraction of the price.

can't you set apple music to play your library at a very high quality setting or are you talking audiophile levels of HiFi? i think spotify calls it 'insane' quality or something like that as the top tier of music playback.
if you have any CDs you should rip them as FLAC and upload them to apple music and see how they sound.
these are some great mastered albums for giving your new speaker a workout:
Steely Dan - Aja
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Donald Fagen - The Nightfly
Alan Parsons - I Robot
Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers

I was thinking of getting one of these for my mom thinking she might be able to make use of it to call 911, get weather forecasts, etc.
Thoughts?
