I don't think the HomePod will be very successful in our little tech bubble (although the large amount of disposable income helps) but I do think it will find a decent level of consumer success. Apple Music is now more popular in the U.S. than Spotify, so that ought to draw some people to it at least. Personally, I've got AirPods because they're very convenient (I'd almost buy them for the automatic pause/play alone), but I still use Spotify and more conventional speakers with a Chromecast Audio. In terms of audio quality, that's a vastly superior option at roughly the same price.
