NeutralFine if you need it. Great sound, but over three years old.

Should you buy it now?
Only if you need one now. The HomePod is fine, but not the best value.
HomePod has excellent sound for its size, but it's over three years old and uses the oldest chip in Apple's home lineup. It's fine if you want it now, but it's not new.
Best for: People who want room-filling sound from a single smart speaker.
