Production quality on this video is next level 👌

MKBHD: it can basically do anything Siri does
Me: But Siri does nothing
MKBHD: That was the point.

Apple paid more attention to the speaker part and not the smart part. Some people don’t like that.

You literally lost me at “you cannot use it as a Bluetooth speaker, you can’t, you can’t, you can’t”. You sir, have just saved me $349+ taxes. THANK YOUUU! 🙌🏾

Coming from an apple fan this product is sad

[hundred]

It's too locked into the apple ecosystem and too expensive.

[Ninjaliebe]

If I were a sound engineer at Apple, I would be very mad at the software and management department right now...

Fixing HomePod:
- Make It Bluetooth
- Literally make it a Speaker on A Mac
- Make Siri a little bit smarter
- Voice Control

That is a lot of "it can'ts" for $500 AUD

[killedassasin]

A $400 speaker that can't do what a $40 speaker can do LMAO

Nobody:
The subtitles: hey what is up guys I’m kitty HD here

You are the only YouTuber who cannot be bought by a tech company. Thanks

[KEYAL]

Maybe this should be called Apple Music radio with a few added features

[FisayoFosudo]

Dope one! The MKBHD Team hard at work!

[zjy]

Can't pair with MacBook basically stopped me from buying it

[pieterjanplessers]

I feel like Marques is genuine about these products in his reviews. People said he seems bribed when it comes to reviewing Apple products, but in this one he certainly isn't!

[manishsinghbisht]

Just for $350(₹22K),
"Smart speaker" from Apple, which is clearly not smart, and if you don't use an iPhone, it's not even a speaker!

Hardware engineers—✔️
Software engineers—😔

Still waiting for JerryRigEverything to tear down the homepod :(
