I'm looking for an excuse to buy one. I went by the Apple Retail Store today and it sounds really good, but so does my $129 Bose Soundlink when I'm listening to music & podcasts around the house.

I've got some Elgato Eve products that I use with HomeKit, including custom triggers, so those commands may not function properly. I also wish it was wireless. The Apple rep told me it always had to be plugged in.

I'm sure I'll eventually get one, but the impulse buy isn't there for this one. Besides, my wallet needs a breather from the X.

@UncleChi11: You know all of your remarks sound a lot like planted from a competitor, don’t you?

If your wallet need a breather then you shouldn’t buy it. This is true to every situation not just Apple products. 

I, on the other hand, have set aside a budget for stereo speakers two years ago & it’s around 10 times a single HomePod cost. That’s how I’m serious about my audio gear. Thankfully HomePod will save me a lot of money. I had listened to those Sonos & no way I’ll buy that, ditto Bose Soundlink which is just a bit worse than Sonos.
