I have exactly one question, "Why does it exist?"

Now no, I'm not trying to say this is some

useless product or that it is not meant for anyone.

When you consider that the world is filled

that has Siri inside, that's a little bit

So in classic Apple fashion, the unboxing is super simple,

So this has come out today and it's a little bit late.

I think this was originally supposed to come out

But the idea here is that this is a very high end,

a very good sounding speaker that just happens to have Siri.

You know what I'll say, this looks really nice.

So it has this fabric mesh all the way around,

It's definitely a little bit of a different look.

Although the power cable's built in, okay.

We also have designed by Apple in California

with what I assume is yes, a single Apple sticker.

Not a lot of accessories with your $350 smart speaker,

but all that matters is how does it actually sound.

But I will say there actually are some nice things

So like I was saying, this fabric finish feels pretty nice

and it even comes across to the power cable.

There's a lot of attention to detail here.

What you won't find with the HomePod is anything

There's not even going to be any kind of aux input

Apple's killed the headphone jack on everything else.

It makes sense to kill it on the speakers.

What you will see however is a little tiny grid

So it's kind of cool, but there's not a proper screen.

It's more for kind of giving you notifications

and sort of a little bit of a colorful thing

a lot of Apple products for the HomePod to make sense,

you'll see a little setup icon right here.

Do that and it should sync it with the Apple ID.

So it does support Airplay so things like Spotify

The HomePod is for people who have everything Apple.

The words Hey Siri and Hey Google are about

- [Siri] Sorry, I can't search the webpage.

- The main reason to pick up the HomePod though is for music

and at least on paper, this sounds pretty good.

which not only are going to be listening for you

to call Siri but also it's going to be able

to tune the music for your specific room.

Now to do that, it uses the total of eight speakers

but there's also going to be a single four-inch subwoofer.

So at this point, if you have Apple Music,

However, if you're like me and use Spotify,

you're gonna have to airplay it from your phone.

So of course you're gonna be listening to this

on YouTube so everything is going to be compressed,

but we do have a microphone here to hopefully give you

a decent idea of what this sounds like in person.

This does a really good job of giving you
