Seems it's $199.99 every few weeks. Who would buy it at $299? It'd be nice to see it go lower than $199 for once.

I’d like to get a second but with the wife asking ‘are you deaf?’ using only one, kinda pointless. :(

You could get a second wife instead maybe ? ?

Out of curiosity, there was news back in July that HomePod would work with Spotify. Has the HomePod become compatible yet? I just can't see buying a device that works with only one service (and one that I don't subscribe to).

Good price for a bad product. They missed the home assistant market.

At 299, it's not a great value - but at 199, it definitely is. The sound from one is really nice, but when you pair two for stereo, it's worlds better than nice. As for home assistant purposes, I'm not super impressed with Alexa either. None of the home assistant products blow me away, which might be relevant if that mattered in my household (it does not). Decent audio in our dining room definitely does matter and Homepod capably fits that need well.

Exactly, by now that deal feels like it never left.
The next article should be one when that $100 rebate deal is actually no more.

I can't comment on Siri's listening other than to say she usually seems to hear us (but we don't ask much of her) - but I will say that a second HomePod provides for a very nice stereo listening experience. After setting up 2 in the dining room, I want 2 in the living room, 2 in the office, 2 "floaters" for the deck and so on. Stereo-linked Homepods is a notable upgrade and the wife and I give it 2 thumbs up.
