I installed my new HomePod by my bed yesterday, and it works; I can send audio to it from my iPhone and iMac. The problem is, every time I touch the top of it, it starts playing music. I don't know what music it is playing; Beats Radio, I think. I don't subscribe to iTunes Music.
This is a big problem. It is easy to bump the top. I have a cleaning lady who comes in once a week. She'll clean the thing, it will start playing, and she won't be able to stop it. The damn thing doesn't even have an off switch.
I've tried everything I can think of to get rid of this problem. When I check the Home app, the HomePod shows as "Paused". I've tried telling Siri to stop the music, but still it only paused, and resumed when I touched the top of the HomePod. Eventually Siri suggested that I watch my language. I've reset and reinstalled it several times, but the result is the same. I'm ready to return it to Apple. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be grateful.
To make matters worse, I'm not impressed with the sound. The bass isn't bad, but the midrange is compressed and boomy. It sounded good while listening to an audio book read by a male author, but I've heard better music from cheaper speakers.
