Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good sound quality. Have to find device regularly to connect. Wish it would connect automatically.

As expected w/ Apple, this design is great! We purchased because we were interested in pairing w/ another HomePod mini to replace our existing sound bar. It worked really great as a replacement for that and if you have other Apple devices its nice that your an easily AirPlay to these HomePods w/o any issues. The only downside is that there is not a lot of base — so if you want base w/ your movies and music this might not wok for you.

This HomePod mini produces amazing sound compared to the other speakers I have. You can also pair them together. The only thing I would wish for is a better Music app from Apple. The hardware itself is great but the app, could be better. Call me old school, but I prefer the simplicity of Spotify and how intuitive it is.

Excellent sound, perfect design, and the price is right

Initially I wasn't sure about purchasing this speaker, as it is a first generation product. I bought is as an open box in excellent condition and it has blown me away ever since setting it up. I activated my 3 month trial of Apple Music, as I had previously used Spotify everyday, I have to say that I love using Apple Music. The sound of this speaker, which I set up in my living room is incredible. It is loud and clear. The depth and richness of the music produced is amazing. In comparison to my Sony smart speaker, I can really feel and hear the bass in my music. I am hoping for bluetooth connectivity in the future, but that being said, it works seamlessly with all of my apple products. I connected it to my apple iMac as well and have not used my regular speakers since. If you can find it on sale or purchase as an open box it is a great buy! I also enjoy casting my playlists on You Tube to it. Enjoy!

Fills the room with sound. Good speaker, easy to set up.

[Employee of bestbuy] Love the color! Was very easy to set up with my iPhone!

Awesome speaker easy to use and install sounds great

It does what it’s supposed to, no complaints. If you have other Apple devices this integrates very well. As a stand-alone product it’s fine but overpriced for what it is. Sound is good but I wish volume level had more range. Bottom line if you are integrating this into the Apple ecosystem it’s very good, if not there are better choices for less cost in my opinion.

Big buy, very good sound and design, I super recommend it

We use this in my daughters room. She's young so we mostly use it to play kids music. Sound quality is great for the size.

Excellent sound for its small size. I bought an open box in excellent condition, but it came linked to another apple ID so I had to reset the speaker, I recommend that best buy at least do those details for customers

It’s a nice sounding voice activated speaker. But it won’t control my mix of smart products including multiple outlets and lights with Smartthings as prime integrator, LG tv, or Arlo cameras (that it is advertised to control), or Yale smart lock (blue tooth with apple compatibility.) My iPhone does control the Yale lock. It just won’t find the devices. Homekit even shows ecobee with ‘controls not available.’ It does find latest Matter enabled devices.

Great sound, easy to set up, works great...Great sound

Good home speaker, great sound, right size for a kitchen

This HomePod Mini is an excellent addition to our smart home, and it could be to yours if you’ve got an iPhone and Apple Home set up. The setup process was probably next to the easiest way, to set up a device to your iPhone.

The HomePod mini sounds great and pairing it with a second one, improves the experience a ton. I have a couple of the regular HomePod as well, but you don't always want to take up as much room or needs as much of a thump as the big one. Put a few of the minis throughout the house to fill in the gaps and the whole family is enjoying it.

Love it! Great sound. Easy to use. I would buy it again.

The Siri aspect works pretty closely to what you already used to. The sound quality is pretty good … for its size. The problem is the size is quite small, so when comparing apples to apples, it beats the other apples for sure. It’s just that you need a speaker more the size of a cantaloupe to really fill a decent size space.

This is the perfect accompaniment to a subscription to Apple Music (a free 3-month trial comes with purchase if you aren’t). Once the initial setup is completed, just ask Siri to play a song, album or playlist and boom! You’re getting good sound with rich bass. Volume can be controlled with voice commands, or the virtual buttons on top of the unit. Things get more complicated if you’re not an Apple Music subscriber. If you have an iPhone, all you need to do is start your music playing, and tap your phone to the top of the unit and your music is automagically transferred to the HomePod via Airplay. Any AirPlay enabled device should be able to stream to HomePod, so if you have an AppleTV, you can stream audio with a couple of taps. You can link two HomePods together for stereo sound. An update coming in Fall of 2020 promises better integration with third-party music services like Spotify. If you’re not in the Apple ecosystem, there are better, cheaper speaker systems with equal sound quality and more flexibility (like Sonos).
