About this deal
The best price I’ve ever seen for these.
I always keep an eye out because I like to have the full size ones rather than the Minis.
Lowest I’ve ever managed to get one for is £164.99 using similar offers, so this is another great price.
I know they’re not really popular or to everyone’s taste, but they are still very good speakers and a big saving over the newer version 2s which don’t offer a whole lot of extra features in my opinion and, from a purely speaker point of view, has arguably a better spec.
A comparison can be found on this link for anyone interested: https://istyle.ae/blog/homepod-1-vs-homepod-2-what-are-the-differenes#:~:text=The%20new%20HomePod%20is%20more,when%20you%20interact%20with%20it.
You can also only pair Version 1s with Version 1s in Stereo pairs and it is 100% worth having them in a pair! I would definitely recommend getting a second one for a pair if you already own a 1st gen.
They are still getting regular updates as well, contrary to some reports.
And with the 6 month warranty you’re at least protected.
Happy buying!

sorted byI went with 2x HomePod mini’s for the kitchen and they sound pretty good in stereo pair mode, and are easier to place in a small space. They go for about £40 each used-mint.
Siri is still stupid though and you can’t trigger 6Music from the speakers.
I think mine was 8 months old renewed when it died , I found a chap on ebay who repaired the power board for £75 returned. I then sold it ASAP on ebay and bought the mk2 from O2 for £219. (edited)
But I still like the idea of these though.
Both failed. One was repaired by Apple the other was not.
They do sound superb though.
