[MacRumors]

Best Buy is discounting Apple's second generation HomePod to $269.99 this week, down from $299.00. This deal is available in both Midnight and White color options, and right now we're only tracking a discount at Best Buy.

Discounts on the HomePod have been extremely rare, with the last notable discount occurring in the summer of 2024, over a year ago. Today's deal isn't an all-time low price, but considering the infrequency of HomePod sales, it's a solid sale for anyone on the market for the smart speaker.

Tempting, but too bad my iPod HiFi is still running strong with no need to upgrade...

Two HomePods paired with an Apple TV are a great looking soundbar replacement. Love the setup so much I’ve got it on two TVs in my house.

I got my HomePod about two years ago, maybe less, when Verizon of all places put it on sale for $179 for like one day. I kick myself for not buying two!

I can't even imagine buying this for anything but a MASSIVE discount.

These are so old, inflexible, and with a future that's totally unclear -- if there is one at all.

You can send music from any Apple device easy peasy, and they sound great.

What kind of “future” are you concerned about?

 

[PeteyNice]

I would be concerned that any of the current HomePods won't support new Siri. Or at least any part that is on device.

Support. Without a standard bluetooth or Aux in option they are only usable until Apple decides not to support them anymore.

These are great with an AppleTV and Projector on your roof so you can get Atmos for movies on your wall! All wirelessly... it's a steal at the point!

I guess they are trying to move the HomePod, since they have limited stock of the HomePod Mini.

They are absolutely going to get closed out at a lower price down the road.

Atmos from 2 speakers... despite multiple drivers.

Anyone jumping in for this really should wait for the next AppleTV to see if they support true Atmos with multiple HomePods.

I use HomePods for AppleTV Audio and like them but there are limits and it is not a 'true' Atmos system, since there is no surround.

AirPods Max do a better job than 2 HomePods spatially.

edit: Amazon has no stock of these.

Apple used Best Buy to close out OG HomePods, I suspect this is what's happening now with the 2nd gen areas of whatever new stuff is coming.
