Overview

HomePod

There is a
new
sound
in the home.

HomePod is a revolutionary speaker that adapts to its surroundings and delivers high-fidelity sound in any situation. Combined with Apple Music and Siri, it gives you a new way to interact with music and discover more. And it can also help you get through your daily tasks and control your connected home with just your voice.

A small
speaker.
From
Big sound.

This speaker is designed to create rich, nuanced sound that's impressive for its size. HomePod combines Apple-developed audio technologies with sophisticated software to deliver razor-sharp, room-filling sound. And at less than 18 cm tall, HomePod is at home anywhere in the house.

Deep bass
that fills the space.

The Apple-designed long-throw woofer sits atop the speaker, facing upwards, creating a deep, wide bass range that surpasses that of any traditional speaker. A set of six microphones, combined with an internal mic with bass equaliser, analyse and compensate for the effect of the room on the bass response to produce a rich, even sound. A powerful motor drives the 20mm diaphragm, a feat for a speaker of this size. As a result, the bass comes through perfectly, even at low volume.

Even from a distance,
it hears you very well.

With six microphones placed in a circle, HomePod picks up sound from around the room. When you say "Say Siri", advanced signal processing, combined with echo and noise cancellation, allows HomePod to hear you without you having to raise your voice, even if you're across the room and the music is loud. Once HomePod recognises the words "Say Siri", what you say is encrypted and sent anonymously to Apple's servers, without being linked to your Apple ID.

High-fidelity sound
sound that's incredibly enveloping.

Specially designed for HomePod, a set of seven acoustic beam tweeters, each with its own amplifier, create exceptional directional control. Featuring a folded horn design and placed around the base, they send the music flowing towards the centre and then downwards in a 360° pattern, resulting in a highly enveloping sense of space. This virtually eliminates reflections from flat surfaces, resulting in a perfectly coherent high definition sound.

Never before has a speaker
had such a high IQ.

An Apple-designed A8 chip orchestrates all the remarkable audio innovations in HomePod. This includes advanced signal processing that allows Siri to hear you despite the music. Real-time studio processing that maximises bass while minimising distortion. Even faster than real time buffering. And upmixing of direct and ambient sound. The result? Great sound, every time.

Beautiful for the eyes.
Sublime for the ears.

HomePod is clad in a one-piece mesh fabric for optimal aesthetics and acoustic performance. Available in white and silver, it's a pleasure to look at - and listen to - wherever you are in the room.

It understands the space.
Automatically.

Setting up HomePod is almost magical. Plug it in, and your iOS device detects it. With its spatial awareness technology, HomePod automatically adjusts itself to give you the best possible sound, no matter where it is. Pair it with a second HomePod to create an unparalleled stereo experience. And with AirPlay 2, enjoy sound in every room of your home.

From floor to ceiling and wall to wall,
sound that's seamless throughout the room.

Place HomePod anywhere in the room. With spatial awareness, it analyses the acoustics, adjusts the sound to its own position and separates the music into two categories: direct sound and ambient sound. All this is done automatically. The direct sound, including the main voices and instruments, is directed towards the centre of the room, while the ambient sound is diffused in the left and right channels and reflected by the wall. This fills the entire space with rich, perfectly defined sound.

Stereo duet.
Your sound takes on a
dimension.

When paired, two HomePods work together to instantly create a wider, more immersive soundstage than a traditional stereo system. Each HomePod automatically detects its location in the room and fine-tunes the music to match the other from the first song played. Not only does a stereo pair of HomePods create more room-filling sound, but they also provide excellent bass extension, with deeper and more accurate low-frequency reproduction.

AirPlay 2.
Play your music
in
the whole house,
from one room.

When you place HomePods in multiple rooms, the speakers communicate with each other via AirPlay. So you can ask Siri to play jazz in the living room and the Vaiana soundtrack in the kids' room, or play the same song throughout the house from wherever you are right now. Your music can also follow you around the house: just ask Siri to move the song from one HomePod to another. That way, you won't miss a beat. With HomePod, you can also control any AirPlay 2-compatible speakers with just your voice.

It knows
the music.

HomePod is the perfect home for Apple Music's vast repertoire. With Siri's intelligence and access to over 45 million songs, it learns your tastes and helps you make discoveries that expand your musical horizons. That's unheard of, literally.

<!-- / Homepod - music -->

45 million songs that never sounded so good.

Apple Music gives you access to virtually every song you can think of. Stream the entire Apple Music catalogue in addition to the music in your iTunes library. And your friends can simply connect to your Wi-Fi network and stream their music directly to your HomePod. Don't have an Apple Music subscription? Get a three-month free trial. You can cancel at any time.

It gets to know the music you like.
And plays the music you'll love.

When you hear a song you like, say, "Say Siri, I like this song" or "Say Siri, add this song to my favourites. Apple Music determines your tastes based on what you say and what you listen to. That means you can also just say "Say Siri, put on something I'll like" to listen to songs you already like and make discoveries.

    excellent connected speaker

    I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a device that can be used for a lot of different things, but I'm sure it's a good idea to have a device that can be used for a lot of different things, and I'm sure it's a good idea to have a device that can be used for a lot of different things.
    The sound is very good clear and precise however I do not find that the bass is deep it is my opinion compared to Amazon echo show I do not see any difference it had already very good bass.
    I've been using it for a while now and it's a great tool to help me with my home automation needs.
    I recommend this HomePod without any problem
