Couldn’t agree more. I bought for the sound quality and they are worth the price just for how good they sound. I have 2 of them and love them. ( Also in Canada we pay $450 for each one and they are still worth it to me)HomePod is brilliant! Forget about the smart assistant stuff: the sound is just incredible. Combined with Apple Music, I can move it from room-to-room and play just about anything!
Re price, I picked it up from Best Buy when they did a $100 discount, so I do agree that $349 is a bit spendy.

For me it’s all about the sound quality. Once you hear it it will be worth the price. I have two of them and I am very happy.It should be more like $149 compared to the competition like Amazon Echo Show 2nd Edition.
