    HomePod HomePod AirPlay lag from Mac: anyone experiencing it?

    Anyone experiencing lag when AirPlaying from Mac to the HomePod? I can't even watch Netflix because the lag is too big. Strangely, AirPlaying to my  TV has no lag. The lag occurs with iTunes as well.

    HomePod Can confirm US Homepod works in Canada!

    Picked up the homepod in Buffalo today... I live near Toronto. Setup was easy, works with my Canadian apple ID. It sounds great at lower volumes but the bass doesn't keep up with the highs at higher volumes. Kind of a bummer. Really nice deep bass at under 3/4 volume though. [Total rant] I...

    HomePod Homepod and reminders

    So I have my new homepod, great speaker One issue I have noticed is with reminders and was interested if anyone had faced the same thing. It seems to get really confused/stuck when marking reminders as complete. E.g. I have a shopping list with 2 items, eggs and milk. I ask Siri to mark...

    HomePod HomeKit problems since adding HomePod. Please help!

    I have been using HomeKit fairly successfully for about a year. There would be an occasional No Response in the Home App or from Siri, but those were usually temporary. I added my HomePod to the mix yesterday and since then, I have been getting more and more No Response notifications. My...

    HomePod HomePod vs 2 Stereo Sonos Ones

    For those of you who may have the new HomePod and have experience with a stereo pair of Sonos Ones or Play:1s - which sounds better? I ask because I can get them for same price. I’m not concerned with anything except a sound comparison in this case. Thank you!

    HomePod AW compatibility and HP sleep timer

    I'm sure *somewhere* these questions have been asked but I haven't found where. So...apologies if this is a repeat. Tonight there are two things I'd like to do: Control the HomePod with my Apple Watch (just pause/next song, etc). I can't get the watch to see the HomePod in either music or in...

    HomePod How is classical music on HomePod?

    Have any HomePod owners given it a good test with classical or symphonic music? I’m hoping it’s not just made for pop music.

    HomePod for the hard of hearing

    tldr: HomePod is a great solution for those who are hard of hearing and don’t want to use subtitles My requirement for the HomePod is a bit different from the norm. I’m hard of hearing, wear earphones, and up until now, I’ve had to use subtitles when watching TV. However, I do just fine in a...

    HomePod Dust, Cleaning and the HomePod

    Hi, I'm trying to figure out what HomePod to buy. I'm moving from Sonos to HomePod and really excited. The concern I currently have is the ease of cleaning the HomePod if I have the white one. If you have the black one you use canned air and some light water and wiping to clean off dust. But...

    Where to put my new HomePod

    I have a fairly basic question that I have so far seen no literature on... I ordered my HomePod, now, where in my home should I put it? Are there any audiophiles out there who might have a good sense? We have all seen Apple's demo room but realistically very few people have that exact setup...

    HomePod Tracking Number

    I am able to see 2 deliveries for 2/9/2018 in UPS MyChoice. I can only imagine them being the 2 HomePods that I ordered. My phone number is in the reference number section for others trying to find their tracking numbers! Anyone else seeing this?

    HomePod - Calls

    I know that HomePod will be able to answer phone calls but it will be able to handle calls himself? I'm out of home and I would like to call home, in this case make a call to the HomePod and someone in home could answer it. Using Facetime calls.

    HomePod - First Song(s) You'll Play?

    I saw a similar thread on Reddit, thought it'd be interesting to see what others here give for suggestions/feedback. What are the first songs that you will play on your HomePod? I was thinking of testing the range with a variety: Portugal. The Man "Purple Yellow Red and Blue" (good range of...
