I would have said the same thing before I purchased Sonos speakers for our house last year.

'Room filling sound' is very different than putting a radio in a room and turning up the sound to 11. I was blown away by the sound of our Sonos speakers. The speakers are kept at a low volume, and the quietest sounds can be distinctly heard. A poor speaker just makes the sound louder, but it doesn't increase the clarity. It's a night and day thing once you've experienced good speakers. They help you not destroy your hearing, and the costs are well worth it.

As I said overpriced speakers. Who says I have had cheap ones? You don't need to spend $400 for a good speaker that has the Apple logo on it.
 
This is the worst comment of the year, do you have an idea of how much a "good" speaker price is?

I have a Harman/Kardon Onix Studio and that was $400 dlls, the new Studio 3 is $450, Bose has the Revolve speaker for $300, Marshall has a $400 one and don't get me started with some high end brands like Bang & Olufsen, they have the Beolit 17 at $500 dlls, all of these are about the same size of the HomePod.

The speaker is not even out, there's no way to tell if it has a good or a bad sound, let me tell you, for $350 it could be the best speaker for that price or a complete garbage, at least wait until it hits the stores to say it's "overprice".

Lol this is the worst comment of the year. My point was more of Siri can be used by your phone instead of buying an overpriced Apple product. I'm also no Apple fanboy and don't put much stock in the Apple name either. I have an iPad, and a Macbook because of battery life which is the main reason why I own them over there counterparts.
