Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased a HomePod on launch day and have listened to more music since that day than ever before. I used to use Spotify, but it was never convenient to make my own playlists. I did not like Spotify’s playlists or radio, but Apple Music via Siri has been great! The radio stations stick to the genre better, and it is easy to trigger them anywhere in room with voice. Classical and jazz music sound great coming from the HomePod. The highs are very clear and the bass is solid but not too boomy. I also have a Google Home Max, so can compare both speakers. The Max has bigger woofers so it sounds better with HipHop / Rap or Electronic Dance Music. There is more bass on the Max, but the highs aren’t as clear as the HomePod. I decide to keep both... I use the HomePod mostly for quiet and calm music such as classical or jazz, and use AirPlay to stream from YouTube, Tidal, take phone calls, etc. I now use the Max for more party type music and asking Google questions. The mics on the HomePod are better than Max and can hear me at full volume, but the Max cannot hear at full volume unfortunately. I recommend the HomePod with a Google Home Mini on side if music quality is primary focus and don’t need a lot of bass and want some additinal smart features. Eventually maybe HomePod Siri will be able to handle questions better and won’t need a Google Home product also, but for now the sound is good enough alone to justify keeping it.

Great product Love it easy to sync Great sound use with Apple Music

I got these for my parents, who REFUSE to put anything Amazon Alexa or Google Home related in their home because of privacy concerns. These speakers are far better quality then the alexa speakers(who now copied this form factor). They punch far above their size in their sound quality, and are quick in responsiveness. I definitely suggest these to anyone interested in Apple Homekit, or anyone interested in a privacy oriented voice assistant(so long as you have at least one apple device).

I LOVE THIS !!! I bake a lot and like to listen to music in the kitchen, using my earbuds made it hard to hear timers!! NOW all I have to do is tell it "play my playlist" and since I have multiple it asks which one!!! ITS AWESOME and helpful!!!

I purchased a HomePod to add HomeKit voice control for my wife since she does not own an Apple device. There were other features that the HomePod could provide that I didn't think mattered that much to me, but the longer I've owned it the more I've appreciated the other quality of life features it has to offer. For one, I find myself using it to control our smart lights far more often than I thought. It's easier than reaching for my phone, and Siri is able to hear me from incredibly far away. The speaker itself is also very good, and we listen to far more music throughout the day now than we ever did before. I've had an Apple Music subscription for a while, and now feel that I'm getting more use out of it than ever. It's also surprisingly useful for "dumb" smart things like setting timers. We use that all the time now because the alert can very clearly be heard no matter where we are in the house. Overall it's a great little smart speaker that we use more than I even thought we would. It definitely benefits you more if you're deep into the Apple ecosystem, but if you're already far enough in to consider an Apple smart speaker anyway I think it's something you'll enjoy.

I was looking for a couple of wireless speakers and got so much more with the HomePod mini. The ability to ask Siri nearly anything is really convenient. My wife and I laughed every time we would get an answer to simple questions about the weather, when and who our NFL team was playing and to play music of a favorite artist. Now it hard to imagine life without it.

This is my 3rd one and I love them obviously! The fact that they all link together is amazing

Love it! Is a great little speaker. It works perfectly with my iPhone and MacBook

this is my second purchase of a HomePod mini. got one for my bedroom and today one for my dad. the audio playback from such a small speaker is quite STUNNING. it is so immersive!!! making music feel like an experience on a whole different level. it is indeed mini, compared to its big brother HomePod. and for $99 the seamless integration with your other Apple products is incredible. anyone in the Apple ecosystem looking for a smart speaker i would highly recommend giving this a go!

The item is a decent product, but some of its features are lacking. You should be able to set alarms, however for some reason that is not an accessible feature. Other wise it’s a great product.

This speaker is not by any means the best, but does its job well. Pair them with another one and thats when it shines

I loce this device. Its sounds great, its compact, and easy to move around to different rooms. Its part if my daily homeflow.

Great sound, easy to connect. So far it has worked as advertised. Works with apple tv and from our phones and ipads.

First thing -- Apple HomePod is meant for Apple Music subscribers and those who want to listen to music in their house in the background every day, while cooking, working, playing, relaxing and anything else you do at home where music can enhance an activity. (Dancing like no one is watching included.) Second, it is the most useful if you have Apple and/or HomeKit products. You will need an iPhone or iPad to even set it up. Siri may not be the brightest, but frankly I don't need to order an Uber, buy Amazon stuff sight unseen or have a pressing need to know a Ferret's average length. I love the HomePod so much I bought two! Yes, I am anxious for Apple to update the software for stereo and house connected music playing, but I am ok with waiting because I get so much benefit from it now. It is liberating to be able to play music - any kind I wish to hear at any volume I desire - by simply asking Siri. I love adding reminders, using the timer and alarms, and, yes, I have asked Siri to do a measurement calculation for me while I am cooking. I have Hue lights throughout the house and it is wonderful to just speak into the air and have the lights turn off or on. Does anyone really need the convenience ? Of course not. But once you get used to integrating "Hey Siri ...." into your daily life, it feels like it has always been that way. A small step towards the Jetson's way of life. Now if only I could purchase a flying car...

Well it sounds great. The only thing is that I thought this was wireless. It’s not. So that’s the only downside of it.

It is a great smart speaker when it wants to cooperate but every once in a while it will decide to cause trouble with connectivity. Usually it works fine except sometimes when you airdrop music from APPLE MUSIC it will decide to stop music randomly or decide to not play it even though on same wifi, unplugging it and plugging it back seems to fix it but can be annoying occassionally.

Excellent room filling sound, easy to use, even better when you have a couple of them! Easy to install!

Excellent product for what it is. You don’t get the mini for a room to seriously enjoy your music with. The mini is for the rooms where you could use quick voice assistance and subpar listening experience in the background. I actually used mine in the bathroom to just listen to music while I shower and communicate with Siri while all my great thoughts and ideas come to me while I’m showering; telling Siri to remind me later or make a note of something. Great for kitchen or some office room. The regular HomePod can just as well be used in the same settings but it makes more sense to dedicate the original HomePod and the regular HomePod 2 to rooms where you predominantly use for entertainment because that is what they’re designed for. The Mini is an auxiliary HomePod, like a HomePod junior for rooms where you need the assistance of Siri and won’t be spending a lot of time in and definitely not using for entertainment purposes.

Easy to use and works great! Setup is simple. Speaker sounds great.

I love this thing! The sounds is great & easy to pair with devices.
