Adam Abbas I was a fan of Apple Music until I see what Spotify can do with your integrated devices. I can pick up my phone and chose which device is playing the music whether that’s an iPad, echo dot, games console, car stereo. Then on top of that i could still use my airplay devices. I feel like Apple are a bit too late to the game with this product
Adam Abbas maybe they do, maybe there ahead already but there is no way I’m trading my Spotify connectable items for AirPlay only ones. I suppose you could use AirPlay to connect Spotify to this device but without the full voice integration software the Google Home and Echo give you it’s a no brainer for me.
Dear UrAvgConsumer, Would be cool if you do an update video of your iPhone X! Like in terms of usability after 3 months or so. And if you've gotten any physical damage on the phone itself due to everyday usage. Bet there's many iPhone X users (or even interested buyers of iPhone X) would love to find out, how your device has lasted! Cheers, JR
I’ve had mine for exactly three months now. Battery life is still excellent, phone is still lightening fast and I’ve never had an app crash (yet) I’ve kept my phone in a standard clear case so no body scratches.
I think I'm going to wait until sometime next year to pick up a home pod. I don't really want to add it to my ecosystem until I'm living somewhere semi-permanently and that's not something I'm enjoying at the moment. Really excited to see this review though! Makes me wonder what updates they'll give it after WWDC this year! :D
Vines, Laughs And FUNNY COMPILATION Or, like most people who don't want to buy trash, we see how shitty apple is as a company and don't want to be scammed... With devices like the note 8 doing more while being less than the iphone 10, people aren't going to go for it. With devices like the Google home max doing more with a better ai and is only 50 dollars more while sounding much cleaner than the homepod, people aren't going for it. It has nothing to do with money, it's all about what's the better product and it's not from Apple..
kanbaruhiga Samsung bought akg, like how apple did with beats, and now their headphones are tuned by them and sound pretty outstanding for in box headphones, much better than apples. If ssung made a speaker it would most likely be tuned by akg as well, like the s9s speakers will be, and it will sound just as outstanding if not better as the homepod, Google max, etc.
They do Apple products video then Apple can trust them for early access, for someone like UnboxTherapy is Android fan so Apple doesn't give him early access
Hi I have a question. It’s really weird that I can play music on my HomePod but if I let the HomePod turns off my light it says that there is no connection. And the HomePod shows on my home app no response. Do u know what should I do? I already reset it twice but I didn’t work.
Lmao this dude really comparing monitoring speaker with a HomePod? I hate the internet sometimes 😂 you’re like a dude in a Lamborghini bragging about beating a Ford Fusion on the highway.
Kyle Clevenger they are the same price though and I can use my LG v30 with them. The point I'm making is you can achieve a better experience for the same price. Or cheaper, if like me you had the speakers already.
lol you weren’t close to it? It’s in arms reach bruh! And nobody brought up the fact that anybody in the home can control Siri. So anybody can read and send messages using your speaker.
DesiredFilm You still haven’t looked at the video. You’re talking about turning it off altogether which defeats the purpose of having a smart speaker in the first place.
Siri is the best assistant for sure I like how alexia was like “I’m glad to help” she salty 😂😂 Love the UAC videos I’ve loved these videos and always look forward to them
have used siri plenty... its terrible when compared to google assistant. Thanks for the input though. you complain about my comment then basically agree with me anyway. lol
Tbh I like google assistant but I'm more of a fan of Alexa as I have the sonos one with Alexa built in and it has great sound quality and is better than the normal echo when it comes to hearing you at loud volumes
You're comment about the echo is true, however you were literally 3 feet away from the homepod which is a similar experience to the echo. My issue with the echo is when I'm 20 feet away she'll hardly ever hear me when music is 100%
You can get the Amazon speaker shown for 99 and a normal Google home (not max) for not much above 100 and then apple comes in with a unfinished device that is lacking and decides to make it 349
Your Comparison Is Invalid. If You're Going To Be Objective At Least Make The Fair Comparison Homepod Isn't Competing With The Lower End Devices. It's Competing With The Big Boys Like Google Home Max & So On.
Malik Fortenberry even though the max is 50 dollars more it has had more updates and just better software sound quality would be the deciding factor and you have mistaken what I was arguing I was just trying to say that it would be better to buy 3 smaller devices with just smaller speaker but can be put in more than one room but if you do see a reason for for buying this then not going to stop you just stating my opinion
Titanium Fish Google or Alexa because clearly you hate Apple, which I love. Im Google. At least they didn't take the letter I, put it lowercase and take the fruit 🍎 to name the company. If Steve Jobs was here, I'd still be with Apple if they didn't make a $1000 emoji machine.
Sebastian Eger because he built up a large channel. Doing so will cause companies to pay him to review their products, since it's such a large platform. Combine that with TV, youtube conventions, and YT advertisements, he makes quite a bit of money.
It’s incredible, but in comparison to some other channels he is not that big. With the awesome tech and the other stuff he lives such a high standard life
Sebastian Eger i assume him and Ari both had good paying jobs before TH-cam. Even during his rise I think she worked. They get products to review rarely are they paying for them, I ASSUME.
Because he worked to get to this level and he's still working hard. He doesn't get everything sent to him (nor does any youtuber for that matter). Given the amount of products he has, I would say the balance is there.
First off, thank you for the great review. No bluetooth, aux port or replaceable power cable in 2018 - Innovation! How do these things go from design to shipping without anyone raising questions?
You should do an audio comparison between the HomePod and you’re two Sonos Play One. They sound of the play one identical to the “Sonos One” and right now Sonos is selling two for the same price as the HomePod. Would be interesting to get your opinion on how the soundstage compares.
we bought a HomePod for our living room. let’s just say, we’re buying a lot more. Siri works just as you would like, very impressive. the speaker system is STUNNING. sounds great from every angle. overall, I would even go as far to say that this is better than Alexa (we own two echos atm, so no saying you don’t know what it’s like blah blah blah).
Saw iJustine and Jonathan's video already but nothing's stoppin' me from watching a review from my main boi UAC
Thanks bro 👊🏾
Watch the verge's
same fr af
Sota Sato same
Kenneth Du especially when it’s apple because she just love apple, so there never nothing bad in the videos
Dude - everything about you is so smooth! I wish I had your style! 😁
love me some AvgConsumer tech vids ;)
BluMaan didnt quite get what you want to say.
BluMaan oh wow definitely did not expect to see you here!
BluMaan OMG Joe you watch uac
hey Joe fancy seeing you here!
Joe I did not expect you to watch uac vids but I am subscribed to both if you
Every time I’m doing something important and I get a notification from my boy judner I always get here no matter what ❤️ 😃
Another awesome video by UAC! Keep it up
Thank you!
My question is can it seamlessly play music directly from the phone's library or your computer's library.
Love your videos man
I would like to see this compared to Amazon echo... seeing as it's touted as the best home assistant. Great review as always Avg!
I like the device but not enough to trade up Spotify for Apple Music.
You can use simple commands for music on Spotify.
Adam Abbas I was a fan of Apple Music until I see what Spotify can do with your integrated devices. I can pick up my phone and chose which device is playing the music whether that’s an iPad, echo dot, games console, car stereo. Then on top of that i could still use my airplay devices. I feel like Apple are a bit too late to the game with this product
Adam Abbas maybe they do, maybe there ahead already but there is no way I’m trading my Spotify connectable items for AirPlay only ones. I suppose you could use AirPlay to connect Spotify to this device but without the full voice integration software the Google Home and Echo give you it’s a no brainer for me.
Adam Abbas Fuck you everyone has there own preferences
If you have an iPhone idk why you don’t have Apple Music over Spotify. That’s just dumb. And this device is for iOS devices so..
Can I control the music from my phone ? So I don’t always have to be telling Siri what song I want.
I could've sworn that thing was bigger
SHAGS ! That’s what she said
peter holloway 😂😂😂
SHAGS ! IKR
That's what she said.
There's a problem. What if you don't have an iPhone or you don't have Apple music?
is that your favorite voice speaker?
I just wanna know if it compares to the zeppelin wireless, since thats what i have right now.
UAC never disappoints!!
Cielo Cruz Agreed 👍
SO TRUE!!!!!!! 🤩✨ 😎
I skip the others reviews To watch your ! The best 💪🏿
Does it work with own, synced music? After all, it is part of Apple Music. Does it work with audiobooks? Those are available via iBooks.
I simply love all your videos bruhh...i am from india❤️😄
AKS ARORA same. Here
Thanks fam! 👊🏾
Bro even I am
UrAvgConsumer wanna meet youuuuu real bad.....you r the best❤️😊🔥🤟
Same here
Can you do the comparison video between the Echo and the Home Pod?
Every time he said hey Siri, my phone Siri enabled lol. Anyone else??
Is there a possibility of more than one user?
you woke up my siri like ten times. hahaha . nice review!
what camera do you use? and what attatchments are used with it? it looks so pure
How loud can it get? Do you have a decibel reader?
I was debating on getting one, but now after getting the Apple ecosystem running again, it's on. May need to reposition the Alexa
The Homepod looks a little big in comparison
SDG Danny it’s T H I C C
Yeah that thing ain’t small
Danny Boy LOL
SDG Danny Look at the home max
You a Turd wtf why do you type like youre an indian scammer
does it still play the first song in your library when you connect to it? or did their team of engineers finally work that one out
wow....is it worth it?
Nithin Babu nope
it isn't. if you want the best sounding smart speaker, buy a Home Max, it costs 50$ more but it's really worth it.
Nithin Babu YES IT IS!!
Constantiam dot net It is less intelligent who cares if it sounds a little better.
The Home Max is way more intelligent that this overpriced piece of shit called HomePod.
I’m done watching all HomePod reviews 😀and I love them all!
Vs Google home max
Stormtrooper Ok Watch the verge’s vid. HomePods is better
he compared it to the google home. not the google home max
Does this work with multiple Apple users?
Like when I use it can I have it read my texts?
and if my wife is using it can she read her texts?
I read that you can't use Spotify with the Homepod, only Apple music, so it's pretty limited.
Yep they are trying to get you locked into apple products for all that cash 🤑
nope. look at johnathan morrison's video, you can still use spotify.
odeepaanh yeah but through air play which means you can’t use voice control
That’s what apple does
odeepaanh you can still use voice control
you actually can detach the power cable
i hit that like button.... broke my screen in the process 😳
I like UAC review of Apple products! 👍🏽 Enjoy HomePod. So nice to get it so early.
Dear UrAvgConsumer,
Would be cool if you do an update video of your iPhone X! Like in terms of usability after 3 months or so. And if you've gotten any physical damage on the phone itself due to everyday usage. Bet there's many iPhone X users (or even interested buyers of iPhone X) would love to find out, how your device has lasted!

Don JR why did you write that as a letter?
I’ve had mine for exactly three months now. Battery life is still excellent, phone is still lightening fast and I’ve never had an app crash (yet) I’ve kept my phone in a standard clear case so no body scratches.
I took great care of mine too! But my bezel's paint got peeled off for no particular reason :/
I think I'm going to wait until sometime next year to pick up a home pod. I don't really want to add it to my ecosystem until I'm living somewhere semi-permanently and that's not something I'm enjoying at the moment. Really excited to see this review though! Makes me wonder what updates they'll give it after WWDC this year! :D
We need more Childish Gambino/Donald Glover/Simba music in UAC videos 😅👌🏾
Got you 👊🏾
TLongz Simba... Wow...
Can you connect two phones? Can it recognise two different voices?
Like most Apple things I can't justify the price tag.
Jasmine Spicer no one can. Apples products are never worth their price, but you know the sheep's will run for it so...
It’s all cheap. You just a Broke Bitch
Vines, Laughs And FUNNY COMPILATION Or, like most people who don't want to buy trash, we see how shitty apple is as a company and don't want to be scammed... With devices like the note 8 doing more while being less than the iphone 10, people aren't going to go for it. With devices like the Google home max doing more with a better ai and is only 50 dollars more while sounding much cleaner than the homepod, people aren't going for it. It has nothing to do with money, it's all about what's the better product and it's not from Apple..
mr evergreen Do you even own a homepod? How are you saying it sounds better?
Or I just don't understand why it is almost double the price of its competitors for a more limited user base.
What kind of resistive suction does the lid of the packaging have? Important to me.
Patiently waiting for Samsung's Bixby speaker 🙄
Maybe speakers tuned by AKG?
Lester Dimaoala a speaker tuned by akg would be beastly
Imagine if samsung did make a speaker tuned ny AKG
It would smoke all these homepod,google max,Alexa speakers
AKG is just name only now.
kanbaruhiga Samsung bought akg, like how apple did with beats, and now their headphones are tuned by them and sound pretty outstanding for in box headphones, much better than apples. If ssung made a speaker it would most likely be tuned by akg as well, like the s9s speakers will be, and it will sound just as outstanding if not better as the homepod, Google max, etc.
mr evergreen They also have JBL and other Harmon Companies
you put work to your videos ! that's dedication bro ❤️
What video game was he playing?
SNOW ENTERPRISE titan fall 2
Minecraft Pocket edition
ILoveJesus123 Minecraft Education u idiot
ILoveJesus123 😂😂
I don't have an iOS device, but I still enjoy watching the videos!
Why only iphone lover are only reviewing homepod ijustine, verge ,jonathan 🤔🤔🤔
SAYUJ Singh because it only works with Apple products.......
They do Apple products video then Apple can trust them for early access, for someone like UnboxTherapy is Android fan so Apple doesn't give him early access
Linus is gonna
Sounds great! The bass! 😍
You posted the video before MKBHD 😎
Hi I have a question. It’s really weird that I can play music on my HomePod but if I let the HomePod turns off my light it says that there is no connection. And the HomePod shows on my home app no response. Do u know what should I do? I already reset it twice but I didn’t work.
Hey UAC Just loved this video like all others.....😋

Love from INDIA
Can i use it with my Note 8 ?
Awesome video UrAvgConsumer!! 😀 I got an Alexa ad before watching this video! 😊
XyntrK did you mean ad
Echo is better overall
should i get a google home ,i want to get one but i don’t know if it would be good with my iphone
TITANFALL 2 MY MAN
Some people say it may be possible to remove the connected cable on the HomePod
Got my Google home mini connected to my krk rootkit speaks and I bet they blow this out of the water.
Of course but it's connected thru the crappy quality integrated DAC and it's more expensive and less convenient.
Thanks, captain Obvious.
Lmao this dude really comparing monitoring speaker with a HomePod? I hate the internet sometimes 😂 you’re like a dude in a Lamborghini bragging about beating a Ford Fusion on the highway.
Kyle Clevenger they are the same price though and I can use my LG v30 with them. The point I'm making is you can achieve a better experience for the same price. Or cheaper, if like me you had the speakers already.
that audio is so clean I LOVE it.
lol you weren’t close to it? It’s in arms reach bruh! And nobody brought up the fact that anybody in the home can control Siri. So anybody can read and send messages using your speaker.
gwvaio
Dude siri only responds to the voice it’s set up to. Apple wouldn’t mess something like that up, they’re extremely smart and capable.
gwvaio
Or anyone’s voice in the family iCloud.
DesiredFilm wrong. Check The Verge’s review. It absolutely responds to anybody’s voice.
gwvaio
Not true. Check your “hey Siri” settings in your settings and set it to the HomePod.
DesiredFilm You still haven’t looked at the video. You’re talking about turning it off altogether which defeats the purpose of having a smart speaker in the first place.
The Squall and Tidus frames are so dope! Where can I get them?
looks like a marshmello
Siri is the best assistant for sure
I like how alexia was like “I’m glad to help” she salty 😂😂
Love the UAC videos I’ve loved these videos and always look forward to them
Siri is still terrible...
Mike F Bet you never use it or even try it before you comment. But it's still behind Google Assistant tho.
use words junior. and spell them correctly when you do
have used siri plenty... its terrible when compared to google assistant. Thanks for the input though. you complain about my comment then basically agree with me anyway. lol
Tbh I like google assistant but I'm more of a fan of Alexa as I have the sonos one with Alexa built in and it has great sound quality and is better than the normal echo when it comes to hearing you at loud volumes
Mike F n
Ur reviews are what make me get up and buy the things u review
iPhone gang 📱
Fall Beast that emoji is the body of an Android phone you idiot
It depends on what device you're on, idiot.
All 3 of you need to stop
Spyro Defender lol that was one stupid comment
Spyro Defender You’re a spastic. 🤦🏼♂️
You're comment about the echo is true, however you were literally 3 feet away from the homepod which is a similar experience to the echo. My issue with the echo is when I'm 20 feet away she'll hardly ever hear me when music is 100%
Why would anyone get this over Alexa or Google home especially taking price into consideration
You can get the Amazon speaker shown for 99 and a normal Google home (not max) for not much above 100 and then apple comes in with a unfinished device that is lacking and decides to make it 349

Malik Fortenberry yes and home pod is way out of it's league
Sheeps...that's why
Man your reviews make u deserve 10 million subs!
Nice toilet paper roll
Tyler Gowan what kind of fckin toilet paper you get
goes well with the trash can pro
Titanium Fish
Google or Alexa because clearly you hate Apple, which I love.
Im Google. At least they didn't take the letter I, put it lowercase and take the fruit 🍎 to name the company. If Steve Jobs was here, I'd still be with Apple if they didn't make a $1000 emoji machine.
SilentPredator I personally really like apple I just like to poke fun of some of the stuff they do
Any indication as to how ‘jurisdictional’ this is? E.g could I set up a HomePod with an iCloud/iTunes account outside of the supported regions?
Can somebody tell me, why he is that rich?
Sebastian Eger because he built up a large channel. Doing so will cause companies to pay him to review their products, since it's such a large platform. Combine that with TV, youtube conventions, and YT advertisements, he makes quite a bit of money.
It’s incredible, but in comparison to some other channels he is not that big.

First off, thank you for the great review.
No bluetooth, aux port or replaceable power cable in 2018 - Innovation! How do these things go from design to shipping without anyone raising questions?
Does it work without power or it requires power every time?
Loved your setup man, it looks really well planned!
is the power cord attached to it? or is it replaceable?
Please do a comparison between the home pad and google max
How long does it take for HomePod to boot up after plugging it again?
Those plants on the desk.. Any links?
compare it to the sonos one and see if we can connect the two via airplay 2
You should do an audio comparison between the HomePod and you’re two Sonos Play One.
They sound of the play one identical to the “Sonos One” and right now Sonos is selling two for the same price as the HomePod. Would be interesting to get your opinion on how the soundstage compares.
One of the best techtubers❤️❤️❤️
I always see Tidus in the background. Where you get that bruv
What’s the name of the song he played when asking her to play the Grammy playlist?
His vids
r high quality did u take classes
Where did you buy your Mac-s dock? What's the brand?
Thanks in advanced!
W1 chip ? I think you meant nfc, hasn't that been on Android's since the galaxy s4?
Does it work with family. As in if I pair it on my phone and my wife is on my family cloud can she check her messages play her music playlist etc???
Could you need to connect that in Wifi?
What’s that MacBook stand he’s using? I must have it!
we bought a HomePod for our living room. let’s just say, we’re buying a lot more. Siri works just as you would like, very impressive. the speaker system is STUNNING. sounds great from every angle. overall, I would even go as far to say that this is better than Alexa (we own two echos atm, so no saying you don’t know what it’s like blah blah blah).
Is it fair to do a size comparison without using the original Google Home? Not exactly apples to Apple's
Reviewy McReviewface he said he was comparing it to the biggest speakers each offered.
Is the google one any good
What’s that blue geometric artwork thing on his wall?
That homepod is pretty sweet. Can review a tidepod next?
Does it support Spotify and Pandora also iHeartRadio?
Can you do a new video about your room with your setup and all stuf and all specs on it
Can I connect it as bluetooth speaker on a iMac?
Comparison of all the "home assist hubs" please 👍
Wait does it not work with Mac’s AirPlay? I bought one but I might return it if it doesn’t support Mac.
Please review the Sony smart speaker that looks similar to this one.
Can you air play it? I want it for audio on my TH-cam videos - I have mine on preorder - thanks for the video
