I don't think most people have problems playing one song. Sonos subs are filled with these comments and turns out to be network related. It's not only about the router there can also be interference in your building or other reasons.
Trust me if people could not play one song on these speakers they wouldn't sell and everyone would bash them

But apples whole HomeKit AirPlay ecosystem is beyond trash. It's gotten worse rather than better. It's frankly insane given their position and wealthy
I've had two sets of stereo HomePods and for the last year, despite different WiFi access points and routers, I can't get through a single song without them cutting out. A single HomePod usually works fine.
I finally disconnected them and switched to Klipsch Fives in my office and Nines in the living room. These can be had for $450 (Fives) and $1k (Nines) if you shop around - that's the pair, not each
I used to dream of filling my homes with $199 HomePods and now that it's here.... it's a huge no thanks
You do you tho
No go.
At $150, it's a good deal. $200 is still to much for the limited use.
Siri sucks but it's for a good reason? Lol, that sounds like Tim Cook speak.

If I didn't already have Gen 1s, I would get these at $200. I think Gen 2's are slightly better than Gen 1s. I wouldn't bet on them introducing Gen 3's for a while...I dont think these are all that popular.
And for everyone complaining about Siri. I agree. But I do know that the AI Assistant wars have been declared and Apple will upgrade Siri in the next year guaranteed.

Same energy as this guy on Apple ecosystem /home pod specifically. The software and integrations just aren't as smooth as other options like Sonos or even Alex speakers.
Otherwise I'd be eager to fill my home with these (former gen 1 HomePod early adopter).
Damn how did you inventory check ?

But, seriously, the 'never call' rule of SD does not apply to Costco, as their employees don't hog all the good deals for themselves. If you call just one Costco, they will even be able to check if any other location near you has the item in stock. Those guys are very helpful.
