Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's a nice way to talk to Siri without using your phone, I guess. I just bought one so that I could connect my Hue and other smart home stuff to Siri/Homekit, and, for that, it has done its job. But that's pretty much all I use it for, since I can just talk to Siri through my watch or phone at any point, and I have much bigger, better sounding speakers to listen to music on. Now, if this thing had an aux output for connecting external speakers to it, it would be a 5-star device and wouldn't feel so overpriced. But, no, Apple wants you to drop big money on 2 of their bigger speakers if you want good stereo sound.

Got this HomePod mini to serve as an audio source with my Apple TV 4K and it’s amazing, the sound quality is superb and way better than my built in TV speakers.

A humble little device that's made a big difference to our enjoyment of music and our everyday lives. Asking for NPR, or the weather forecast, or some bossa nova, or a song I remember a few lyrics from; it's all just a "hey, Siri" away. A great Valentine's Day gift!

Plug and play. Bought this for my elderly mother. Its so simple to use! Love the fact that you can just bring your phone near it and it connects! Cant wait to see the other features in action.

Don’t let the size fool you! There is nothing “tinny” or “cheap” about these little speakers! They really ARE excellent! However, Imgave them only a 4-star rating because there is a slight “learning curve in setting them up which is surprising for an Apple product and their “Home App” needs some serious work!

Great for creating a smart home environment although there are other options.

The Apple HomePod not only works flawlessly it seamlessly connects with the other apple devices in my household. Also seems to respond better than any model of the Amazon Alexa that I've had.

I've been enjoying my Apple HomePod Mini. I am able to use siri to play music, do basic math, and set timers. It's like having a little assistant always with me. Siri also helps to write down my grocery items so I can remember to get them. The sound is great and helps keep me entertained while being at home.

Love the yellow color it’s so cute :) I got an open box in excellent condition and it has zero blemishes and works perfect.

Love this! Use it daily! So handy and helpful if you attach to your phone.

The sound is amazing. I have two of them stereo paired to my apple tv. They work great for watching tv and films in an apartment living room. Handoff from iphone/apple music works great, too. I don't use any of the smart 'ask siri' functions, so i can't comment on those. But the sound really is remarkable.

Very helpful item ,good quality easy to use I love it

The HomePod is an incredible speaker. It really shines when you want to listen to music while walking about in a room v. facing the speaker head on while sitting on a counch. Unlike the other front firing speakers the sound stage on this speaker is great. The bass is very fast, smooth and consistent. In my testing, the HomePods are not only better than the Google Max in terms of sound and design, but can hold their own with my KEF bookshelf’s which I paid over $1,200 for on sale! The HomePods are better for everyday listening. I have an iphone X and I have no problem AirPlaying any source to the HomePod. Also, I have no problems using the HomePod with HomeKit. In the end, Apple Music is my favorite music source so issues like HomePod only responding to music commands from Apple Music isn’t an issue for me,

i had some errors while setting it up but I think that was due to me buying it open box and someone had set it up prior. But other than that, I'm in love and enjoying discovering the new things it can do. I bought 2 and I love when I play music on both at the same time.

Adorable and sounds pretty decent. Fun to setup, needed to run updates. Sound is good.

Bought during a Black Friday deal, which knocked about 100 quid off the price, making this a very good deal. Sounds better than what you'd expect when you see and handle it. Plenty loud, but not to the point of being potentially too loud. Very clear with good highs, mid and lows for a speaker it's size. Might have a hard time filling the space of a huge open room, but would be fine in most homes. Siri is hit or miss, but mostly good with basic commands (changing volume, skipping/replaying/pausing songs, etc.) and not so great when it comes to asking it to play songs by title or artist using an Apple Music subscription (often plays something very different than what I asked for). For the price I paid, I'm very happy but at normal retail price I think it's a little high for what you get, but such is Apple. If you can get it discounted or don't mind the price, it's a great product perfect for use in a fitness room, home office, bedroom or even a decent size family room or kitchen. I do wish it had a built-in battery so that it'd be easier to move from room-to-room.

First off, live person here, not a paid review. My home is filled with Apple products so naturally I gravitated towards the HomePod despite there being several other options in the market. My primarily goal was the sound of the device and the HomePod delivers. Additionally, I've grown to use the Siri functions and actually find many of them to be quite helpful (setting alarms, playing music, setting timers, random Siri questions, etc.). The HomePod integrates seamlessly with Apple Music and also allows me to play anything via AirPlay. Lastly, the HomePod doubles as my device used to play sound for my AppleTV and that integration is rather seamless as well. Will I didn't pay the full $349 retail price, I do feel the speaker alone is worth the investment and the Siri functionality is an added bonus.

In general this has been a good purchase to replace an under-the-shelf radio/CD DVD player. If my iPhone is open, often the commands will be executed on the phone rather than on the HomePod. And you need to phrase your commands precisely. It took me 2 days to figure out how to get Siri to play Minnesota Public Radio.

I had a Google Home Mini I got for free years ago, but never really used it. The sound wasn't super great, the bass was poor, and some songs sounded very compressed. Additionally, the voice assistant never really understood my requests (e.g. "Play playlist X" or "play song X by X"), and I would get ads for artists that I specifically ask Google to play, even if I didn't listen to them on the speaker that much, it just didn't feel great to be tracked like that. So far, I love my HomePod mini. The sound is great, capable of being loud with great, punchy bass. Siri, while still flawed, so far has understood my requests better than my Home Mini. Additionally, I've been able to play my iTunes library without the need to connect my phone via Bluetooth. I have yet to really use it as a smart home device (I lack anything to use with it), so can't comment on that. But as a speaker, I love it.

We have about 6 of these scattered around the house and for thanksgiving and Christmas we had whole home audio which was wonderful to hear. Our guests were amazed how full the sound was throughout the entire house. Such a nice little thing to have all through our house.
