With Apple Music, you have access to over 100 million songs, expertly curated playlists, and personalised recommendations. HomePod also works with Apple Podcasts, radio stations, and third-party music services via AirPlay. Your music, podcasts, and audio content are all easily accessible with simple voice commands.

Advanced Audio Technology
The custom-engineered 4-inch high-excursion woofer features an Apple-designed motor, diaphragm, and suspension system that deliver deep, rich bass with minimal distortion. An internal low-frequency calibration microphone continuously analyses and compensates for the woofer's performance in real-time.
Five horn-loaded tweeters, each with its own custom neodymium magnet and acoustic horn, create a precise array that beamforms sound around the room. This advanced configuration provides detailed highs and creates a wide, immersive soundstage that fills your space with audio.
Room sensing technology uses spatial awareness to detect nearby surfaces and automatically tune the audio output. Whether HomePod is against a wall, on a bookshelf, or in the centre of a room, it optimises the sound for the best possible listening experience. Advanced computational audio continuously analyses the music and applies complex tuning models in real-time.
Siri and Smart Home Features
The four-microphone array with advanced beamforming technology isolates your voice from ambient noise and reverberation, ensuring Siri hears you clearly even whilst music is playing. Voice recognition allows Siri to personalise responses for different family members, accessing their music preferences, calendars, and reminders.
HomePod integrates seamlessly with HomeKit to control your smart home accessories. Turn on lights, adjust thermostats, lock doors, and control compatible devices throughout your home with simple voice commands. Create scenes that control multiple accessories simultaneously, or set up automations that trigger based on time, location, or sensor activity.
Sound Recognition technology monitors for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms when you're away from home. If an alarm is detected, you'll receive a notification on your iPhone, allowing you to check in using HomeKit cameras or take appropriate action. Temperature and humidity sensors provide environmental data that can be used for automations or monitoring your home's conditions.
Multi-Room Audio and Stereo Pairing
Use AirPlay to stream audio to multiple HomePods throughout your home, creating a synchronised multi-room audio system. Play the same song in every room, or choose different music for different spaces. Control everything from your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or with Siri voice commands.
Create a stereo pair by combining two HomePods in the same room for an even more immersive listening experience. Each HomePod automatically detects its position and balances the audio to create a wide soundstage with impressive stereo separation. Stereo-paired HomePods work together to deliver room-filling sound with precise left and right channel definition.
When connected to Apple TV 4K, HomePod provides cinema-quality sound for your films and television shows. Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos creates a three-dimensional soundscape that brings entertainment to life, whilst dialogue enhancement ensures voices are always clear and intelligible.
