Customer Ratings & Reviews

It’s a very nice speaker for the size. A pretty large sound comes out of this thing. The microphone will pick you up from the next room when using it to control your smart home. As many have said Siri is not as good as other assistants in answering questions but that is probably the only shortcoming.

Trying to set up a small home theater in basement on the Cheap with Apple TV so bought one of these to see how it sounded. Pretty good so will add another for stereo/surround sound.

Nice audio but I have no idea it should be plugged all the time.

If you're a fan of Apple products, this won't disappoint. We owned a pair of Sonos Play 1, which were also great but I've enjoyed the HomePod even more because: setup is much easier, it sounds just as good (actually, better in terms of base and depth of sound), it's a more flexible system - easier to move around and readjust and easier to pair with additional speakers (we purchased 2 HomePods), and of course, it's a smart device and it works very well with other HomeKit compatible devices. We're able to control all of our devices with the HomePod. The HomePod instantly became a part of the family or so my children thought as they seem to call out for Siri throughout the day, every day.

It is an Apple product so it just works, this makes the 5 one we have purchased. The product works as expected and shopping with the Best Buy app made the purchase easy and simple.

This Home Pod Mini has great sound and works well with all my other Apple products. I have three placed in different rooms of my home, and they work work well together or alone. A must have for creating the perfect smart home.

Helpful for small tasks -- checking the weather, alarms, timers, speaker phone for calls. It has a nice bass for a wee speaker. She never follow thru with my phone calls though, maybe it's because it's a first gen. Oh well, would recommend. 10/10.

[Employee of bestbuy] I use Spotify and it has a LOT of issues connecting to things that are outside the apple ecosystem

I love this speaker. It connects to my phone easily. The sound quality is amazing. It’s great for parties as well as just listening to relaxing music at home. I plan to purchase a second one.

[Employee of bestbuy] Super good sounds especially for the size. Super easy to use with other Apple devices.

I have several of these around the house. I really appreciate how responsive Siri is on the HomePod. Great "big" sound from a small device. And the Intercom feature has saved my vocal cords when we need to get our kids attention from their converted attic bedroom.

I bought this after many reviews. Really curious on how good the speaker really is. Decided to just try it out and return it since I’m an elite member, I have 30 days.... but... after just 2 days, I decided to keep it because the speaker is amazing. Apple delivers on the speaker with “smart speaker feature” as a bonus. I say this because first and foremost this is a premium speaker system. This speaker is crystal clear when it comes to sound. Bass is absolutely amazing as it doesn’t crack at all, even at 100%. I can’t wait until Apple add 2 speakers Airplay. Siri can hear you even with the speaker at full blast without you shouting commands.

So I mean cool lil speaker but the fact u couldn't add my Spotify onto it was the reason why I returned it, but great build and look of the speaker woulda loved it and the sound was pretty good to, I just wasn't able to add my Spotify onto it

This HomePod is a good purchase, a pair of these HomePod mini as a pair is a great purchase. I created a HomePod mini stereo pair and I could not be any more happier than I am already now.

This is my third HomePod mini. Sound is excellent.

A good compact speaker for the price. solid sound quality for its price(less bass than the Homepod, but to be expected) although my main purpose is to have an additional Siri microphone and speaker for use with Apple home.

Sadly, I have been growing increasingly disappointed with Apple products over the last 18-24 months. I had high hopes for this speaker. In terms of audio quality we enjoy the sound. Siri commands are nominal which is about what you'd expect at this point as Siri is fairly limited. Our biggest disappointment with the speaker is the ability to play music from various devices in the home on the network. It only syncs up with one primary itunes account and then has a strong default to only that music. There are times we'd like to more easily stream music from our amazon music or other audio from videos etc. and it just isn't very smooth or streamlined. Overall, we might purchase a second one as we had planned, but the first experience has definitely given us pause on this decision. We may ultimately decide to go ahead with it, but now we have more realistic expectations i suppose. Just seems like the user experience switching from phones or computer on the WiFi network in the house would have been easier and not feel so limiting.

Has the usual amazing Apple product design, elegant look, amazing sound. Main flaw is the software being extremely buggy and laggy. iPhone 11, has connection stalls, volume controls on phone stop working, doesn’t connect to airplay on Mac reliably, “handoff” feature relies heavily on network connection.

Nice and compact. Very nice color and easy to use with my home system l.

Purchased this speaker on an open box special. In the beginning I wasn’t blown away but I quickly realized older music sounded okay. Once I played update higher quality music WOW did the speaker come alive; bass is room filling for a speaker it’s size. I have an amazon echo 2 and there is no comparison sound wise. Siri is adequate when using her for music or menial tasks. The more I listen to the speaker it just seems to sound better than the day before. It must learn your environment over time because it seems to fill the room more and more over time. I can only imagine what two or three of these speakers together sound like. I am not sure it is worth the steep $349 price tag but if you can get it for $300 or less don’t hesitate. Perfect Christmas gift!
