The homepod had too much bass for me to comfortably use it in my apartment. At a decent listening volume, the bass was overwhelming. EQ only worked for music streamed via Apple Music at the time. They have added a "Reduce Bass" to the settings for the homepod now, but I returned mine within the 14 day return policy around the time the original homepod came out.

I switched my Alexa devices over to homepod mini's after one too many "by the way" suggestions by Alexa. Homepod mini has decent audio but I wouldn't use it for my primary music listening.

If you care for music quality, buy a decent portable bluetooth speaker and carry it with you from room to room - there is a lot to be said for the flexibility, and you can also toss it in your luggage when traveling.
