Questions about the HomePod? Get them answered here.

Sure- You can Airplay everything. Either Apple Music or most about any other streaming service, or iTunes if you still use it. You can also use it through your Apple TV.

The Home app contains a bunch of ways to control Siri, which you can turn on or off:
Listen for"Hey Siri"
Touch and Hold for Siri
Light When Using Siri
Sound When Using Siri
Language
Siri Voice
Personal Requests.
Under that is "About Siri and Privacy"

There is no bluetooth or physical inputs on Homepods. That is because there are plenty of cheaper bluetooth speakers out there. But none of them sound as good as a pair (or even one) of Homepods.

Homepod can be used for an output device for anything using Airplay. But I don't think it is setup to work as an input device, as it is designed to listen for "hey Siri" in order to perform any of its functions. With all the built in mics it has, such capability would be nice, though, as it does activate the mics for use in phone calls.
