Customer Ratings & Reviews

It’s an amazing speaker with great sound and bass when you consider how small the device is. Sound is clear and fills up a room, and you have the option to turn off the kind of heavy bass in the settings of the Home app. You can even pair it with another HomePod Mini for a stereo effect. It’s amazing.

Love it great sound small package pair well with iOS home system

Awesome product! Incredible sound from a tiny package. Obviously no booming bass, but surprisingly loud, clean, full sound from a tennis ball size speaker. Siri works quickly. Overall totally impressed!!

I've been deep into the Apple ecosystem since my first iPod in the early 2000's. We have multiple Apple TV's, iPads, iPhones, 5 Homepod Minis and Airpods. We bought 2 of these to link them as a stereo pair in a room where we are using an Apple TV as our video source on an Epson projector and these were to provide our sound without being an eyesore. These 2 are nestled at the top of our sectional where the couch meets the wall and are barely visible due to the white matching our light grey sectional. Sound quality is good, but not very powerful. I wasn't expecting these to replace home theater speakers, rather just provide the same level as a built in TV speaker. We have 2 children and we find ourselves running these at max volume just to watch a TV show on Peacock. Aesthetics-very nice looking, small footprint. Functionality/Cool factor: We really enjoy being able to use Hey Siri for weather, creating timers, adding tasks to lists, playing movies etc. Very high marks in this category. Reliability: I bough this in July of 2021 and we just noticed that the left speaker of our stereo pair was not working, Had to take to Best Buy for repair. Luckily we are within our 1 year factory warranty period. I've never had an Apple product die on me, not once in 20 years. In summary, these are cool little speakers to play some music on. We have 4 in our downstairs and when people come over we are able to stream the same source to all of the speakers to get that immersive sound effect. Nice integration with the Apple TV for audio source although we do have to manually select them each time. Overall these are really cool speakers that are lacking only in the power category. I wish they hadn't discontinued the original Homepod

The Apple HomePod Mini is an absolute game changer! This compact and stylish smart speaker packs a powerful punch with its impressive sound quality. The bass is deep and the vocals are crystal clear, making it perfect for listening to music, podcasts, or taking calls. Siri integration is seamless, allowing for hands-free control of your smart home devices and easy access to information and entertainment. The design is sleek and modern, and the size is perfect for any room in the house. What sets the HomePod Mini apart from the competition is its advanced audio processing technology. The speaker automatically adjusts the sound to match the room, ensuring optimal audio quality no matter where you are. And with Apple Music integration, you have access to over 70 million songs at your fingertips. In conclusion, the Apple HomePod Mini is a 5-star product in every aspect. It is the perfect combination of style, functionality, and sound quality, making it a must-have for any Apple user. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch smart speaker experience.

perfect device, sound quality, ease of use,vertsatility,you name it, it does it all, even allows you to use it as an intercom when you're far away from home in order to tell people in your living room whatever message, sadly I sold mine cuz I needed the money but will buy it again

TL; DR: The HomePod is super easy to set up and use with your iPhone. It even sounds pretty good. A good value if you get it on sale. Setup: Take it out, plug it in, and use your iPhone to configure it. Yep, that's it. Takes like 10 seconds. In use: I'm an Apple Music subscriber, and using Siri to control it works *fairly* well. For some reason, Siri doesn't understand a request for Boston's "Hitch A Ride", but otherwise seems to do a good job of figuring out what I'm asking for. One gripe is that the HomePod is essentially a 'separate device' as far as Apple Music is concerned; it would be nice to have the option of seamlessly continuing a playlist or song that's playing on your phone on the HomePod - obviously, there's a manual way to do this by using the HomePod as an Airplay destination, but it would be even nicer if it were automatic/seamless. Sounds quality-wise, it's good but not amazing - I'd say it sounds as good as a Sonos One, but each has its own pluses/minuses. The HomePod sounds a little 'bassy' to me; the bass is good, well-controlled, and has some texture, but there's just a little too much of it. Mids and highs are fairly clear and well-defined. Gets pretty loud without distorting or vibrating, which is nice. However, my KEF LS50s in the other room aren't feeling threatened.

Great sound, color, size and a reasonable price!! My son loved it!!

This is a decent little speaker from Apple. I bought two for my home (bedroom and office; living room already has a TV sound setup) and these little units synced effortlessly with my phone and AppleHomeKit setup. Pros: Aesthetically pleasing design Good sound quality Effortless setup Affordable price point (compared with regular HomePod, at least) Cons: Works best with Apple apps (good luck Spotify users) Siri is still a work in progress, so speaking commands will take some finesse Just another basic BT speaker for Android users

I got it for under 50 dollars from the exellent refurbished option, and it came out flawless, the only complaint that i have is it does get slightly annoying when your phone is tryng to constantly connect, and it does sound really balanced, but i like bass to be punchy, which is slightly lacking ( EQ might help).

1st off, the sound from this little guy blew me away. It fills the master bedroom wonderfully. It is a little on the bassy side initially but can be adjusted in Music "Settings". The design is attractive and has a small footprint. Unending amount of functionality. A noticeable upgrade from the iPod speaker of old. Extremely easy to use, its all Siri driven voice commands.

It’s a good sounding speaker with voice activated controls. Rather loud too for its size. Also if you buy multiple units you can connect them which a cool, but expensive feature. If you are in the Apple ecosystem then I would recommend getting it if you are looking for a speaker. Lastly I like that it’s small so it can be discretely placed in whatever room you decide it to be in.

Such an impressive little device I ended up buying another one! Very practical to have a virtual assistant that is easy to use. I live in an apartment so although I don’t have the “smart home” of my dreams just yet, I can count on it to turn my lights on/off, play music pretty loud, set reminders, and I LOVE the intercom feature. Keeps me from yelling for dinner time LOL. Overall great product.

I got tired of Alexa's "by the way! advertising", among other things, and got lost trying to configure Google's whatever-they-are-calling-it-this-week voice activated service. Having a lot of Apple gear already, I decided to give HomeKit a try. I use HomeKit (now Apple Home) via HomeBridge in a Raspberry Pi to control a lot of devices that are not Home(kit) compatible. It runs fine; all the more reason I am pleased. I am VERY pleased with the build quality and appearance, and the ease of setup if you have an iPhone. Not sure how it would set up otherwise, but with an iPhone, and I presume with an iPad, setup is easy as falling off a log. The sound quality is good, but be advised: I am not using my HomePod Mini for music. Just voice activation, weather reports, and answering questions. Example: "Hey, Siri, what is 274 pound converted to kilograms?" My ONE cause for four stars rather than five: there is no means to keep Siri from being a bit verbose. I would like to say "Hey, Siri, turn on piano area floor lamps", and it just does it. Maybe with a little beep or double tone like Alexa does. Instead, Siri is a bit wordy at times, other times, either nothing, or "done!" (I am using the Irish male Siri voice.) If you are using Lutron for lighting, or are buying devices labeled "HomeKit Compatible", you are all set. If you are already dialed in to, say, a bunch of cloud-based devices, or, like me, a lot of Z-Wave and Zigbee items, HomeKit may not be for you unless you use something like HomeBridge or Home Assistant to join it up.

Works well. The computer audio algorithm produces good sound for the convenient size. I have both the HomePod and the HomePod mini and suggest the mini for desk or counter where you aren’t trying to run full volume or full fidelity. This speaker still has crisp and clean sound, and good volume, but not as full as a larger speaker like the HomePod. I really like the intercom feature as well.

The Apple Home Pod mini is a small smart speaker with surprisingly big sound. It is only for those already deeply involved in the Apple universe as it requires an iPhone to use and seamlessly integrates with the iPhone.This is an absolutely wonderful and surprisingly powerful little speaker! It’s also absolutely packed with awesome features and it works so effortlessly and seamlessly with any Apple device. Setup literally takes less than 2 minutes; just hold your device near it and it’ll automatically register it

It's been working great for the past few months. To bad Apple didn't release it sooner. The sound quality is actually decent for a small speaker. You can crank up the volume without distortion. I also added a second one, so now there's stereo sound in the room. I've linked it and tested it on our Apple tv, which is in another room. And that really improved the tv sound quality. But I prefer keeping the speakers in the kitchen, which is where we spend a lot of time. Overall, the Seri voice command has been working just fine - as expected. Transferring music from my iPhone to the speaker is a simple 'touch-n-go' process. But I haven't spent much time connecting it to the Home Kit app in order to control a couple of switches/lamps. They say it can be done, but I haven't pursued it yet. When I first installed the speakers there were a number of occasions when it lost a connection to our wifi network. That turned into a hassle getting it connected again (or simply resetting it does the trick). There were reports of similar occurrences about this on different Apple product forums a while ago, but since then there's been a software update. And the wifi signal in our house was improved by our service provider (router was replaced). While there's still an every-once-in-a- while wifi connection glitch, it generally resolves itself on its own within a few minutes. Overall, really good smart speaker at a decent price.

I purchased this because I have Apple Music, it was on sale, and I just wanted new toys. I picked up two and they sound phenomenal in a studio pair. I use it basically for setting alarms or reminders, and of course playing music. The HomePod has very rich bass and sounds great, but I wish it had an EQ mode. The sound fills the room on very low volume and I haven't really tested it at its peak volume. You can also speak in a normal voice across the room and Siri will pick up your command effortlessly. I wish this could be paired via bluetooth with other devices, but for what I got this thing for it works as advertised. I still don't think it is even worth the sale price, but that has nothing really to do with the product itself. It should be maybe $50 cheaper than what is is on sale. It is just very limited right now, but hopefully Apple releases future software updates to take advantage of such great hardware.

I recently purchased the Apple HomePod mini from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! The setup was incredibly easy and seamless with my existing Apple devices. The sound quality is fantastic for such a small device—rich bass, clear vocals, and it fills the room effortlessly. Siri integration is top-notch, allowing me to control my smart home devices, play music, and even get weather updates with just my voice. The design is sleek and compact, making it perfect for any space. If you're in the market for a smart speaker, the HomePod mini is a fantastic choice!

Bought when on sale for $199. When it first came out on the market, I Always thought HomePod was over priced for its functionality, but well worth it at this sell price. I’m a total Apple product fan. Fits nicely with my Apple ecosystem. Love the control it provides for my smart home features. Since my wife is intimidated using my stereo system, she likes the convenience of the HomePod to listen to music while doing projects around the house. Sounds really good for a compact sized speaker. Looks good with my family room furniture decor too! Pretty cool feature is the fact that my other Apple products, like our phones and watchs, knows not to interfere with the homepod’s Hey Siri feature when I call out to it. Nice!
