Costco has the popular Apple HomePod 2nd Gen for $199.99, the lowest price new ever. This is an exceptional speaker, and if you combine 2 of them you can use as an Atmos system with your Apple TV. Which I personally use and can confirm its better than pretty much all soundbar setups under $1K.

In Store @ $199.99
This particular pic is from Carlsbad Costco, where they had at least 30 in stock from my visual.

Most likely your issue.

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
These work fantastic with Apple TV. Much better than my Sonos Ones. They are a no brainer if you are in the Apple ecosystem. Nice find!
Costco rep told me they're phasing these out. None left in WA State (Seattle etc).

I have Sonos arc connected to Apple TV, would these be fine to pair with Apple TV and be extension to Sonos arc instead of Sonos subs?

Quote from FaithfulLlama137 :
IMO you haven't disproven OPs comment at all. Two HomePods sound better than just the Arc by itself, so even if you get the Arc recertified for $500 (rare), you will have to pair it with the Arc Sub, at the very least, which pretty much takes you to that $1000 mark that OP mentioned, and this is assuming you find both recertified for $1000 total.

Arc retails for $899.00 and Sub for $799.00, so technically it is $1698.00 + tax, unless you can find it on a deep discount.

Not sure if you've actually heard two HomePods versus an Arc by itself, in the same exact scenario, but I have, and the HomePods definitely sound better (to me).

Arc + Sub definitely overtakes the HomePods, but at 2-4x the cost.
Yes, I said I had/have. I own both.

Literally this week:

Quote from SiennaCorn809 :
Thanks for that link! OOS rn but definitely seeing better reviews for Arc than homepods especially on reddit reviews [buyreddit.com]... if you're not gonna go all for a samsung q series that is...

Yeah, if you really want homepods for music/siri purposes and then have them double as TV speakers then it's fine. But if you want high quality TV audio first and foremost, get an arc. I don't even have the sub (I did then returned it) and think it's great.

I also have a dedicated theater in the basement with two huge ported SVS subs, so if I really want bass….

Called my local Costco and had them check other stores as well - not in stock anywhere.

I had picked 2 of them up recently via Costco online for $250. Surprised there was a second price drop so quickly but guess they sold out super fast.

1 left at the Humble Costco (as of this writing) and one left at the Costco in Katy (99 & IH-10, as of 2h ago) in the Houston area. Best to call and confirm. They are in the electronics closet and not out on shelf or the Apple stand on the floor.

I think you're mistaken. The 1st gen never got that low.

Quote from nismo95tt :
Agreed 100%. Siri is one of the worst things Apple has shipped. Hope the overhaul rumors are true, Siri in current form is completely unreliable
I'd agree for the most part, except the one area that it excels: it's built-in microphones that link to SIRI are amazing. I can be in the kitchen and whisper to the HomePods to set a timer, while music is playing loudly, and it can hear me clearly. It's amazing. Functionality, I agree, is lacking with SIRI.

Got really lucky and got the display model @ $150. The sticker atop the HomePod had an L at the end of its item number, guy said that meant it was "live" and Costco stock not apple stock. Called 3-4 other stores to get another for a pair, but no one else would sell me their display. All stores in my area only had one in stock which was the display. Maybe Costco.com will put their online stock on sale.

Bought a stereo pair, networking and connectivity issues have taken hours and still not fixed. if they work, they sound really good for $400. I have yet to go a day without having to jump into forums to troubleshoot. So much of apple's rhetoric of 'it just works.' YMMV
