My daughter is ten years old and she loves it. She uses it to play music in her room and ask it for the morning weather. She keeps it on her desk and it is so helpful during her homework time. When she is reading a book and gets stuck on a word, all she has to do is ask out loud "hey siri, what does this word mean". Or when she is doing an assignment and needs help spelling a word. She doesn't have to stop and look up the word, she just has to ask siri out loud.

This HomePod Mini is perfect for my small office. I have the Razer Nommo Chroma speakers but connectivity to multiple machines has been a pain. That’s where this little beauty comes in. Seamless transfer of my music from listening in the car to coming home by hovering my phone over it. I have less reliance on Bluetooth, which in a room of 4 computers, two tablets, a wifi station and Wireless headsets it’s definitely needed as I was getting a lot of interference. Siri can hear me even when the music is loud and I like the ambient noises that can play any time. I look forward to getting another so I can put them in stereo mode! As it is, the sound quality is amazing with decent bass!

The product has completely exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is crisp, clear, and fills the room despite its compact size. Setup was a breeze, and the sleek, modern design blends perfectly with my home decor. I also love the smart features, which make controlling my music and other devices incredibly convenient. It’s an excellent value for the price and a must-have for anyone looking for high-quality audio in a stylish package. Highly recommended!

This was a Christmas Gift for my husband who is visually impaired and he loves it. By using the voice commands it allows him to listen to podcasts and music anytime he would like without having help from family members. The sound is clearer than Google Home Mini and makes listening to music more enjoyable.

The HomePod Mini is a smart speaker developed by Apple Inc. It is a smaller and more affordable version of the original HomePod. The HomePod Mini is designed to provide high-quality audio and smart home integration in a compact size. It features a spherical shape with a fabric mesh covering and comes in two colors: white and space gray.
The HomePod Mini is powered by Apple's S5 chip and uses computational audio to deliver high-quality sound. It also features Siri, Apple's voice assistant, which can be used to control music playback, set reminders, and control smart home devices. The HomePod Mini can also be used as an intercom system with other HomePods and Apple devices.
The HomePod Mini can be set up and controlled using the Home app on an iPhone or iPad. It can also be used with other music streaming services like Spotify and Pandora. The HomePod Mini is compatible with Apple's HomeKit, which allows users to control smart home devices like lights, thermostats, and locks using Siri.

I purchased this pod after I thought my first pod gave out. Months later I found out I just noticed eded to reset my first pod by hard pressing the top of pod for 10 seconds, letting go of press after hearing a beat amd relinking to your home. Lol These tinynoids are amazing. Now that I have two wrk simultaneously, i have spurround in my room. Love them!

I am really enjoying my HomePod mini! The sound quality is excellent, and I love being able to use it to communicate in Chinese. I also appreciate that I was able to find a good deal on it at Best Buy. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend the HomePod mini to others.

I bought this for my wife for her first mothers day , and the smile on her face when she opened it, told me I did right .
She uses it for everything , she says she wants more so it has friends to talk to. But honestly I think it’s a great addition to the apple family , I finally have an alarm that wakes her up that’s not me aha. But honestly it’s great not having to pull out my phone to use Siri when I’m cooking dinner for the family. My only complaint is that it’s not portable, that would make this the best electronic we own in the house if it was.

The Apple HomePod Mini is a great device for many reasons. Not only is it a loud speaker, but it can be integrated for smart home controls. I can tell the homepod to dim my light, lock my front door, open my garage, and so many other great things. When I can’t find my phone, i can easily have homepod ping it. For times when i have a party, I can sync all my homepods together so you can hear music whenever you go! This device is great and totally worth it.

Amazing little speaker. I have this HomePod mini paired up with my big original HomePod in my room and the extra sound is worth it. I use it everyday to play music or watch tv with my Apple TV, and the blue is great because you don’t get to see much of the dust lol.

The HomePod Mini is a great sounding speaker with a promising future as a personal assistant. Apple says improves to Siri and the addition of Apple Intelligence will revolutionize Siri. The sound quality is far better than you’d imagine given the size of the Mini. The sound really comes to life when you pair two Minis for a room filling stereo sound. It’s more than I expected to because.

I enjoy being in the apple eco system, having these HomePods are a blessing. Sound quality is really good for these small speaker. Don’t expect these to have crazy loud sounds like a sub bar or surround sound home theater. These are minimal speakers with great mids and high sounds for the price. I have bought 2 of them, and connected them across my room. It sounds like the action is happening around me, then from the sounds coming from the tv in front of me. I will say they do sometimes lose sync with my Apple TV or Wi-Fi and the sounds is off sync. I don’t know if its updating or i just need to reset them. I usually unplug it from the wall outlet and let it reboot and it’ll end up, syncing up with my Apple TV. Ifs its just one off sync, then it’ll sync up with the other one that’s playing.

Got mine after careful review and long decision. Product has quality sound. Great for my Apple TV and iPhones.

I am writing this review in hopes this helps others thinking to buy them. This review is for 2 HomePod mini stereo paired.
I bought one black and one white. They have to be paired in the home app on an iPhone and then updated separately. This is a pain, but be patient. Once paired, you can use with airplay.
I personally just use them as a pair of speakers for my Mac mini. You can use airplay, or actually use as the audio output. I have issues with one speaker not working while the output, always works as airplay. You cannot use the EQ in airplay, only as output. Sometimes there is a gap in seamless tracks, sometimes there isn't.
But all in all, I am very pleased with them. They sound great. I can use with all my apple devices. I do not use Siri, but it is possible. There is an intercom I also do not use.
It is not as simple as bluetooth speakers. They do not charge, but do require a USB-c power block (included, whew). My Mac mini would not power them despite having 4 usb-c jacks.
Music and movies sound great. 360 sound.
I used to have the JBL BT speaker, but it died. I am not mad I replaced it with these.
There are also stands that I recommend for cable management.

Good, But Lacks Practical Use in Our Kitchen

purchased the Apple HomePod Mini to replace a Google Home Hub in the kitchen, thinking it would make sense to align with the Apple ecosystem since our household now uses iPhones. While it functions well and has a nice design, it hasn’t seen nearly as much use as the Google Home Hub it replaced.
The HomePod Mini responds well to voice commands and plays music with excellent sound quality for its size. However, we rarely think to use it. For quick tasks like setting timers or asking Siri questions, we instinctively turn to our iPhones or Apple Watches instead. At this point, its primary function has been as an audible alert for our doorbell, which is useful but not enough to justify the switch.
While it works as advertised and integrates into the Apple ecosystem without issues, it doesn’t feel as central to our daily routine as the Google Home Hub did. Unless we find more ways to make it part of our kitchen workflow, we might end up bringing the Hub back.

This is my 2nd purchase of the new generation of HomePod mini! I originally purchased one for my living room and LOVE the temperature and humidity sensor incorporation into Apple Home. Just purchased another one for my bedroom!

Very easy to setup, looks great on display, sound quality is also amazing, easily pairs with Apple Music and iTunes, just wish it could play sound automations off my phone, I have a NFC setup and have custom sound bytes that play when I scan them and hoped that the automations would play off them as well but sadly it doesn’t, I hope down the road they add it in a update, but besides that I also wish you could play SoundCloud and YouTube off of it but you can’t do that as well which again are all minor things but would be nice down the road in a possible update.

Well I’m new to the Apple HomeKit eco system And love that setup literally was as easy as 1,2,3. In comparison to all my other smart home IOT devices using the Amazon Alexa platform I love that with the new home pod mini stores all your personal data and is always stored locally in my home and me having the comfort of Knowing where everything is a never have to call for example Amazon to have them remove my past wifi and security data from my personal data and having to deal with the hassle of when something goes wrong I have to call and be transferred from department to department trying to find the issue and where the money roble is and the HomePod is very user friendly and I highly recommend it if your about your privacy and protect your home and family and loved ones data apple is the way to go a little more expensive but we’ll worth it in the end with all the new features and devices being made with the all new thread technology and much more to come in the near future.
