See if you’re truly in the ecosystem you’d already know that everything apple release is bare minimum. Trust me it will be out in the first update!!! Floss does Siri on your iPhone give flight information?
Almost a year later an most of the features are still missing in software. Save your money and buy something else, especially when there are other devices that do so much more than this HomePod. No wonder why there is so many sales on these devices. Plus Apple put their Apple Music on Amazon's Echo devices. There goes the rumors of Apple making a cheaper HomePod. The cheaper HomePod is an Amazon Echo.
Now almost two years since Apple release their one and only HomePod. It's kind of both funny and sad that you said Apple can update the software later on. When is Apple going to release some major software updates for their HomePod? I honestly wonder if you have now changed you mind about the HomePod since it's almost two years old now.
Sound quality seems great. The fact that it only works with iOS devices is just ridiculous though. As someone who has multiple devices, both iOS and Android and switches between them quite often it just seems ridiculous.
graham dunk-Dude I've been keeping track him. He had 413,000 in April of 2016. I'm waiting for him to officially pass Erica Griffin in total subscribers. He's gaining on her quick. Lol
Ok I was driving on the highway and I had to stop to make this comment: there are very few of channels that I enjoy the videos from the first second to the very last, yours is one of them. The info is just so useful, I myself is a apple fuck boy but after knowing the cons I decide to pass or wait for future Siri updates. Thanks Floss.
Adnan Abbas You know whats really crazy is? ? Apple iphone headphone jack is remove because Apple claims they're trying to move away from too many wires ,But here Apple go with wires on something thats hi Tech as this🤔 , only stupid ass bullshit come from that Apple com.
“Now as you can see, this is a light-skinned version of Siri.” Apple pullin some bull shit like usual. Guess I’ll be waiting a couple more iterations as with any of their first gen products.
I look at it this way: like the iPhone, it's nailing a few key aspects that others can't match right now, but the software is young. Could be awesome in a year or two.
Nahhh.... man I just literally installed a $40 Amazon echo dot inside my wall nice and flush. Only noticeable when she's activated which looks super dope in the man cave. Then automatic Bluetooth connection on the surround sound keeps it boomin on any music platform. (Fyi, dopest review channel alive) #longlivewhiteshoes #samsunggang #ladies #yallknowtheprocedures )
HomePod just received an update and can now make calls just wondering if you recommend this speaker now that Siri has a lot more functionality on this speaker.
To be honest I think I would like the home pod, I have mostly apple products and I pretty much only use Apple Music for my music... but its true, it needs more updates. and I have to say, I can excuse no aux input... but I can't excuse no bluetooth input... Thats just too exclusive... but who knows maybe they'll come out with a better model this next September.
It seems like a cop out by saying that everything that it can’t do will be fixed by a software update. Maybe it will, but why would I consider this until that happens? I run with a lot of Apple products but. I will pass on this one. Your example of getting the flight information was a great example of how Google is so far ahead of Siri
I didn't say it will be fixed with an update, I said hopefully lol Look at Amazon echo first gen, folks had the same complaints and they've been making it better with each new version. That's the risk of buying a first gen product, but I understand what you're saying, that's why I said this could never be my main speaker; but the sound makes up for the shortcomings to me. Minus the price of course lmao🤣
not overpriced for what is is. They're advertising it as a speaker first, smart device second. It sounds better than anything else in it's price range, including the Google Home Max that's $400 more.
@@ethanb6584 haha, they aren't selling well. 11 months from when they first went out n sale. Apple themselves dropped the price because they are not selling well. Everyone knows Apple doesn't drop their prices. Yet they dropped the price of these limited functionality HomePods. I knew these things were going to fail especially when they are lacking in so many areas compared to the competition. Save your money and don't buy these crappy HomePods.
taypuc31 I want to say this up front for your needs and may be it’s about the sound and if your heavy in the Apple eco system it’s probably on point. For me the google for $50 your getting a device that you can use on Android and Apple. I have two phones one business (iPhone)the other personal (android). Also, you have access to UA-cam, your not tied to one operating system, you have voice recognition, you can make phone calls and the Sound my not be better but it’s on par. I will pay $50 for what I need. $350 to $400 is nice price hit for my entertainment budget for the month. I have other things I like doing for entertainment and if I can’t get what I really need, the money will stay in my pocket. So I in all it’s what you need it for and how you operate. I got the google smart speaker and I’m a big fan and paired it with two other wireless speakers, serious sounds going on in the crib now
Harmon Kardan Onyx Bluetooth speaker sounds incredible if you can find it at $150 and just use your phone for Siri, or echo dot Alexa, or Google Home mini and save another $150+. This should be priced at least $100 less than the $350 price tag
I'm deep into the iOS system so I will getting a couple of these because they can be used in tandem. As much hate as she get's Siri is pretty good. We have several Echo/Alexa's in the house and Siri isnt on that level yet but I bet when she gets her first really big update her levels will climb.
Jay Vera not only that. If you want stereo, then you need 2 HomePods. Stereo support is coming later for the HomePods. So now the price is $700 if you want stereo. Give me a break. That is getting into home surround sound 5.1 systems area.
Yo, Flossy...just watched your HomePod review video (no knife this time!) on my iPhone X. Every time you said, “Hey Siri” in the video, Siri was activated on my iPhone X, which meant your video was cutoff. You had me cracking up too... “light skin version of Siri.”
Fantastic honest review as always Flossy - this is the video I’ve been waiting for ! At least I am able to get this in the uk unlike most of what you review on here - look forward to your next video Bro
This has to be the first review in a long time where you listed the things you like first, and the things you didn't like second. The fact that it only works with Apple stuff is a no-go for me.
Received my HomePod yesterday. It is awesome. Outstanding sound. I’m also an Apple Music subscriber and it works for my purposes well. It was a great purchase for me. Thanks for the accurate review.
Take the entire speaker, pluck it, file it to the side. I'll stick with my hifi setup rather than some bunk no battery havin tiny speaker that I can't even bring with me to the beach
Floss. I paid a gang of money for the Note 8. Shit definitely does lag. And Bixby is trash. Still a good phone. But it goes to show you. That you give "real" reviews.
#Squad Roll Call
Flossy Carter #salute from Cairo, Egypt.
#Salute
Floss can you please tell me witch have more bass elements, ufo plus, or blue mofi thank you
#salute
Flossy Carter squad
Floss: SIRI please file zerxes to the side
SIRI: Rah!!
lol what does that even mean?
lol 😂
lmao😂
“Pull up son”
“Nice clean white box” hahaha made me think of the snow bunnies 😂😂
Facts
When Siri says "Pull up son" 🤣🤣 #SALUTE
Hahahaha she almost sounded cool
ive watched about 6 homepod reviews but flossy always gives the realest reviews .always flossed up ..
The price is too GAT damn high.
Friday night staying in and watching Floss reviews is a go
I didn't know it doesn't have Bluetooth or an Aux port. Super hard pass.
TheSizNation apple don't even have a headphone jack for ya phone you think they putting an"ugly" aux port on it
IT TAKES COURAGE TO BRAINWASH YA SHEEP!
It has Bluetooth
It’s got AirPlay, which I guess is a close second if you got an Apple device.
You made my phone activate Siri 6 times watching this video lol
lol me too
If only it could file Xerxes to the side, it’d be perfect.
$250 sounds more reasonable for such a limited product.
I'd be comfortable paying that
David J Partida i was thinking more around $200
David J Partida I’d probably buy it if they repurposed it to be an apple speaker
See if you’re truly in the ecosystem you’d already know that everything apple release is bare minimum. Trust me it will be out in the first update!!! Floss does Siri on your iPhone give flight information?
I haven't had an iPhone 5 in years bro
this thing has excellent sound quality. the remaining features Apple can bring them later in future software updates. `hardware is top-notch.
zorkor for the price you're paying and the company it came from, this should've come with the remaining features, not a half baked device, imo.
Bluetooth is hardware. Maybe next year.
Almost a year later an most of the features are still missing in software. Save your money and buy something else, especially when there are other devices that do so much more than this HomePod. No wonder why there is so many sales on these devices. Plus Apple put their Apple Music on Amazon's Echo devices. There goes the rumors of Apple making a cheaper HomePod.

@@sgodsellify lol the have the mini now soo… you were hating on Apple to soon lol gotta wait 3 years
Pizza Hut messaging in the middle of the night ROFL!!! 😏
The struggle
Sound quality seems great. The fact that it only works with iOS devices is just ridiculous though. As someone who has multiple devices, both iOS and Android and switches between them quite often it just seems ridiculous.
Apple with their usual tactics lol
I remember when Floss only had like 20k subscribers! Crazy to see him a 720k!!!
graham dunk-Dude I've been keeping track him. He had 413,000 in April of 2016. I'm waiting for him to officially pass Erica Griffin in total subscribers. He's gaining on her quick. Lol
The Hustle is Real!
The only channel on UA-cam with honest reviews
No Bluetooth, no voice recognition, stripped down Siri, only Apple Music...too many nos!! So NO thanks lol
Lol can't argue with that
It has Bluetooth 5.0 well the Australian ones do anyways.
Petty Roosevelt...😂😃
Cyber Prince82 what he meant I think was it’s only APPLE.
Cyber Prince82 it has Bluetooth but you can't use it to play music from your phone to it, that's what they mean. It might as well not even have it
I like his reviews he speaks the truth and doesn't kiss no companies ass that's what I like he tells it like it is
I always get so hyped Flossy comes out with a video. Keep it up, man. I love it.
Your cat is so cute
This man is actually pretty good at reviewing stuff. He is super helpful in my opinion.
It’s not a real review if it’s not flossy. Hell, if anyone knows a thing about these speakers it’s flossy.
Ok I was driving on the highway and I had to stop to make this comment: there are very few of channels that I enjoy the videos from the first second to the very last, yours is one of them.

Thanks bro.. Apple fuck boy? Hahahaha I love it🤣🤣🤣
+Flossy Carter lmao
Sounds like a great product for white shoes. I will wait for the next.
You’re a very good reviewer. Short, detailed and informative. Keep it up sir!
Can you review the Google Home Max? Thanks!
"hey siri file xerxes to the side"
If that worked I'd Copp 2 more lol
Best reviewer on UA-cam
No bluetooth, No UA-cam, that's a hard pass lol. Thanks for the info floss, just saved me a couple of bills lol
big D then what's the point to buy a $350 Speaker? Even it is pretty good in sound quality it's absolutely Sucks as always
big D spotifys compatible I thought??? Isn't it
It has BT5.0 chipset inside from what i've read, just disabled. hopefully, just for now.
He also said the Google Home Max sounds better, and it's only 50 bucks more, and it's compatible with everything. I think the choice is obvious lol
Airplay is Bluetooth in a way of you have Apple stuff if not then it’s useless
Floss video's are a MAJOR MAJOR GO!
Love the unbiased review. Convinced me not to buy one.
Text from Pizza Hut in the middle of the night 😂
no bluetooth? Thats a major no
Adnan Abbas You know whats really crazy is? ? Apple iphone headphone jack is remove because Apple claims they're trying to move away from too many wires ,But here Apple go with wires on something thats hi Tech as this🤔 , only stupid ass bullshit come from that Apple com.
That annoyed me. At least let it be used as a Bluetooth speaker to capitalise on the great sound quality. I have no reason to use it now 👎🏾
PIMP NAME SLICKBACK100 Pimp up bruh, you really expect this shit to be fully wireless? LMFAOOO
Best review of homepod
Got mines today sound is amazing and yeah it needs those software updates
“Now as you can see, this is a light-skinned version of Siri.” Apple pullin some bull shit like usual. Guess I’ll be waiting a couple more iterations as with any of their first gen products.

And we all know that means you aint ever getting one. Gone somewhere
Corey Forde or it means I don’t waste money on products I don’t find useful
You gotta try a google home max, I think it sounds great. Curious how it compares to apple.
Nahhh.... man I just literally installed a $40 Amazon echo dot inside my wall nice and flush. Only noticeable when she's activated which looks super dope in the man cave. Then automatic Bluetooth connection on the surround sound keeps it boomin on any music platform. (Fyi, dopest review channel alive) #longlivewhiteshoes #samsunggang #ladies #yallknowtheprocedures )
Sounds like a Boss setup!
In the mean time lets listen to Xerxes purr... LMAO! Good stuff.
Just love when Flossy sir says #LADIESUKNOWDPROCEDURES
HomePod just received an update and can now make calls just wondering if you recommend this speaker now that Siri has a lot more functionality on this speaker.
So Apple does know how to make a chord that is strong & longer than 3 feet...interesting
Hahahaha somebody send this to the phone sweatshop
I been waiting for this video. I love my HomePod especially the sound quality.
Floss you are one in a million great video giveWhite Shoes a big shout out for me

IDK what it is abt floss vids... Its like mah cyber weed #salute
You made my iPad pull up Siri mad times lol.... you trolling low key lol
Lnaooo
Bought this today. A lot heavier than it looks but the sound is mind blowing for a small speaker!
Typical Apple product. Overpriced, well built, looks good, but lacks features important to many.
But it will sell millions, so you can't blame them for not changing

"Thats too loud, are you sure?"
"Yes, Bitch!!"
Yo I said that under my breath!
Are you going to review the Harmon Kardon Allure smart speaker as well?
Send the link
Flossy Carter done
I was going to ask the same thing. Seen other reviews but want to see Flossy review it
Dapper Ribbit absolutely that's what I was thinking
Yo these have to be the best videos on UA-cam yo
Damn apple needs to chill with them prices they be throwing 😂
bonais cabrera people will buy it with the quickness as Apple can do no wrong for some.
Sheeple I swear they would buy shit in a box if it had a Apple logo on it
Dru 1 true

This should be priced at least $100 less than the $350 price tag
AA S . hopefully in about 6 months prices will come down.
I think the price tag here really stinks. Having a smart speaker that can't even play my spotify playlist for 350 is a no go for me.
When I don't have iAnything but still watch the whole review 😂 #Salute
No Bluetooth???? Nope 👎🏽.

It’s been a while since I was in the comments but I watch all the videos and great job as always u real consistent
Thanks Fam
But which one do you think sounds better this one or the Google max???
Xerxes purrin vs homepod. I think we know who wins lol
Did you compare it to the Google Home Max?
I said hey Alexa instead of hey Siri to my homepod by accident and now its refusing to reply to me?
Nevermind I just changed the Siri settings from Female to Male and the attitudes gone
😂😂😂
Flossy always keeps it real. Top class.
This is a light skinned version of Siri 😂

Thanks for the review. Have you checked out the Google Home Max? I have one and love it. I'd like to get your impressions.
Yeah I got one for Xmas. I love it lol
You only come here for the REAL!
Just been watching your two play 1 review. Which sound better as owner of both? Two play 1s paired or the HomePod as both same price.
SUP FLOSS AND XERX!
What's up beautiful
Spunds pretty good
But have you tried the big boy from google?
Floss is the first tech youtuber to make me interested in tech other than headphones
This is the best video review I have seen on the Apple home pod.

Oh bullshit.
Excellent and honest Review Floss !! Really helpful and up to the point .Greetings from Greece !
Love this guy
Josip Čančar love him too.
So can I connect my phone to a Bluetooth device the same time it’s connected to the Home pod
Shout out to the white shoes ,Back in the building.
Siri was activated on my phone multiple times by Floss while watching this video. I laughed everytime. Thanks Floss 😂
Apple first generation things never complete.
Yeah they learn slow lol
Just like Samsung's crappy fingerprint reader, but they learned.
iPad....*cough* *cough*
Very nice set up,going to look into.Thanks Floss
“Hey Siri “ Activates my sire. 😂
Fantastic honest review as always Flossy - this is the video I’ve been waiting for ! At least I am able to get this in the uk unlike most of what you review on here - look forward to your next video Bro
That horrible song filed xerxes to the side.
🔥Flossy back with the fire 🔥
No video by FC is complete with out a guess star appearance by white shoes 👟 lol 😂
This has to be the first review in a long time where you listed the things you like first, and the things you didn't like second. The fact that it only works with Apple stuff is a no-go for me.
Think I stick with my sonos...great video as awalys 👍
Received my HomePod yesterday. It is awesome. Outstanding sound. I’m also an Apple Music subscriber and it works for my purposes well. It was a great purchase for me. Thanks for the accurate review.
Take the entire speaker, pluck it, file it to the side. I'll stick with my hifi setup rather than some bunk no battery havin tiny speaker that I can't even bring with me to the beach
Yeah it’s a home speaker that works off WiFi definitely not working for your lifestyle..not a go for you at all
I was waiting on you for this review.... like the fact that you keep it 100%
Floss. I paid a gang of money for the Note 8. Shit definitely does lag. And Bixby is trash. Still a good phone. But it goes to show you. That you give "real" reviews.
Lol finally somebody that's honest. I love the phone, but fucking hate the TouchWiz lag
I have installed stock android on my s6 and added some app that were features on touchwiz.
Flossy Carter hopefully they take touchwiz and stuff it up there ass lol
My thoughts exactly
So with the apple tv, how will this work as speakers with the TV through AirPlay?
Apple fan for years, but tired of the straight jacket.
Can you do HomePod vs Echo Studio sound quality test?
Nice vid as always floss!
