Customer Ratings & Reviews

First off, I’ll say that the hype about the sound quality of the HomePod is true. It sounds incredible. As a musician and someone who has dabbled in studio recording, I care about and pay attention to sound quality. And, for the price, the HomePod has excellent sound quality. I also have a Bose SoundTouch 10 and a Sonos Playbar. This speaker truly blows the Bose out of the water—and I’m not one for exaggeration. The dynamics and depth of the HomePod simply cannot be matched by the SoundTouch. The HomePod has crisp highs and booming lows coupled with a spaciousness that seems to surround you. Even my wife, who doesn’t pay much attention to sound quality, can notice the difference. Interestingly, the HomePod holds its own against the Sonos Playbar. The Playbar is louder and has better stereo separation (which are both to be expected). However, the HomePod holds its own, even as a single mono speaker. As far a the “smarts” of the HomePod, it suffices for my needs. I use the Home app and have several HomeKit products. My HomePod can control my lights, locks, thermostat, and sprinklers without much issue—though, it’s not perfect. Sometimes it can’t communicate with my devices; but, it works far more than it does not. And the microphone on this speaker is amazing. It can hear you without a problem from across the room with loud music playing. I do wish the HomePod could play live radio. That would make it a more complete home speaker. Additionally, I wish Apple opened it to native Spotify streaming (which is extremely unlikely to happen). As an Apple Music user, this doesn’t bother me, but in my opinion, it does affect the overall experience with the speaker and should be noted. The HomePod is a powerful speaker that simply works. It can play any audio via AirPlay 2, including audio from Apple TV. At regular price, the HomePod is expensive. If you can pick it up on sale, I highly recommend it.

Picked up an extra one to use as stereo speakers for my Apple TV, wouldn’t have it any other way

Love how easy the homepod is to connect all the sounds in my house together!

Great smart speaker! Less smarter than other smart speakers but because I have all apple devices at home, this one is a great adjunct for me. Also it has great sounds.

Easy to setup and does the automation I was looking for. I don't like the fact it doesn't connect to fire stick for sound

Love love love. This speaker is small, but has excellent sound. It does have to be plugged though and doesn’t contain a rechargeable battery like Bluetooth speakers.

These make some serious noise and are perfect! I have these connected to my Apple TV’s and also stream music to from my iphone

Works as advertised. Sounds pretty decent for what it is. Could use a bit more bass but if you want to hear the lower frequencies there are better options for that. For the price, this is a good choice if you use Apple products.

The sound is fasntastic for such a small speaker, in comparison to much larger speakers. I'm still learning some of the commands by watching videos. It's been fun.

Apple makes great sound only con is that i can’t control certain things without a hub but apple will eventually find a good workaround but overall good speaker

I have an original HomePod and love the sound. I wanted something for my bedroom and this fit the bill. Not as robust sound as the original but does quite well

Great sounding speaker for price and works perfect as my hub for my smart accessories.

Absolutely loved this speaker. So easy to connect!

Great speaker and easy to use. My iPhone XS had issues with the set up due to not recognizing WiFi for the HomePod. Then tried my wife’s iPhone 8 and had no issues.

I really like this HomePod Mini. I have a 2 story house and have put 1 upstairs and 1 down stairs. The size is great. This is small enough to sit about any where.

A quality product from Apple. Love the small size and the intercom feature with two or more units. This is what Apple should have brought out in their first HomePod.

I have two HomePods and at the volume I listen to audio at, this is great. The mini doesn't fill the room the way the big ones do, but that's not what I'm looking for.

Great speaker with amazing sound Another incredible Apple product

Very nice speaker. I love it! The sound quality is top notch
