Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 2 so far. They are awesome. The sound quality is great for something so small. Set up was easy, as was connecting to the wifi. You can listen to two separate medias at the same time or you can stream the same content thru them at the same time. I was able to figure out how to use airplay2 thru the tv and the minis but that did take a little bit of time and some google searching. Well worth the $200 for the pair.

Great sound for the size and price. Would definitely suggest getting a pair.

After having this product for over a month I would like to say that this product is definitely worth the 100 dollar price tag while it does get beaten out in sound and price by a couple others like the google home and Alexa dot I’d say if you have an apple product this is a worth while investment. While it doesn’t have the best sound the speaker drive in it are nothing to scarf at easily being able to be heard from multiple rooms over at 70 percent volume. I would definitely but if you have an iPhone/MacBook

I was originally waiting for the return of the HomePod but who knows if it will ever return. I was in the Best Buy store for something unrelated to speakers or home assistants when I stopped by the Apple display and heard the mini’s. Well those sound pretty good for such little speakers and promptly bought 2 so I could have stereo or use in multiple rooms if the stereo mode wasn’t great. Stereo mode is excellent. Will have to buy more for other rooms. Setup was the usual easy Apple experience. Plug it in. Put your iPhone near it. Click the icon that appears on your phone. Done. Put the iPhone next to the second one and repeated the process used in the first one. It did an update which took a few minutes and they were ready to go. If you don’t have any Apple devices you can’t set these up. Overall I’m happy with the mini’s. I had the realistic expectation that the bass wouldn’t be booming and that I was going to be stuck with “hey Siri” limited functionality. I just use Siri to adjust volume, skip a song, start/stop music. Haven’t used it to make calls or do any messaging. These a great for background or foreground music. I’ve taken them outside on the deck was able to enjoy music without annoying the neighbors.

HomePod minis are a game changer. Their size may be pint-sized but their sound is EPIC!!! I have four of them throughout my house. And with Apple's easy interface, it's a DREAM come true for playing music or podcasts everywhere. Highly recommend. Not to mention this shade of Teal is EVERYTHING!!!

I switched from using an Amazon Echo and Google Home Mini to this. It's more expensive, but the quality difference is noticeable. The sound quality is significantly better than an echo dot or home mini. Siri has been significantly improved so it is very responsive. I had an original Homepod back when they came out and there have been major improvements since then to the functionality. Setup was cake.

I have used all the major home assistant for music and home automation and have to say so far the HomePod so far is the best. Alexa, Google home, and home assistant with local AI all have there strengthens and weaknesses, but ultimately HomePod is better at understanding my commands. I will say I am using Home Assistant as the back end for this, and the integration of home automation functions is a little wonky, but easy enough to setup and get working. What i don't love? Spotify is not supported and HomePod literally can't integrate properly, so if you use apple music, you're good to go, if you don't you're likely out of luck. I have been forced to use an iPad to cast Spotify to the speaker of my choice. In my house I'm using two minis and the big HomePod. The big HomePod could be better from a music quality standpoint, the minis are pretty decent given the size, but I wouldn't use them for listening to music. Despite the music issues, I still give it give stars because I was expecting the apple ecosystem is exclusive and doesn't integrate well, and I am reviewing the mini, not the Apple ecosystem.

Great sound and easy to setup and use. Louder than expected when cranked up!

This little smart speaker has amazingly great sound for its tiny size. It has a nice clean and compact look. If you are into Apple Music, Siri is much smarter in seeking out songs than Google. The hook up with this speaker through iPhone 12 was virtually automatic and seamless. Love that you can tap your iPhone onto the speaker to transfer a specific song playing on it. I plan to buy another to create a stereo pair.

This is my first HomePod purchase, the Mini, and it does not disappoint. Easy to set up with instant connection to all my devices. It takes up the tiniest bit of real estate on my desk, looks great and not conspicuous at all. The sound and ease of use are the best features, as the sound is top notch for a speaker this size. It has a great price point which allows for adding more around the house, all controlled by the Home app.

I’m actually extremely impressed. I’ve always used the various Echo devices but I had a Best Buy gift card so I decided to try the HomePod mini since I have many other Apple products and I am extremely impressed with it. From the ease of setting up to the sound quality, there’s a lot from this little speaker. I bought it for my master bathroom and I’d say the sound quality tops Echo Gen 2. Will consider buying more now.

Excellent, room-filling sound! Also great if you have HomeKit devices, as you’ll be able to control them with Siri.

I’m sure I do not use this to its full potential yet, but I’m trying to ditch alexia and so far it’s good. It has a good speaker which plays with my Sonos, uses home kit , and works well with Apple Music. If your in the Apple eco world it’s a plus

The sound from this minute orange sphere is more than expected and it slides under your new M3 iMac if you are tight for desk space. Great for listening with your iPhone or with your Apple Music account. 2 thumbs up!

The sound is good and being able to connect 2+ Home pod mini’s around the house makes it even better. The intercom feature is a nice feature as well. What I really like is, being able to play your music or podcasts from you phone and still be able to use it to make/receive phone calls or watch videos, without turning the music off that’s playing from your phone, through the home pod speakers.

For Product: I’m happy with the HomePod mini and it works ax expected. Purchase Experience: before heading to the store I checked to make sure the store I wanna price match with is in the approved list and once at the register, the cashier asked the manager if they can match the price and the manager said “ no, because the offer is online only.” I had to step aside and go through the policy again and found out that as long as the product is ready to ship, and the store is in the list of approved competitors, they should honor the price match. I had to go to the cashier and show them the policy and the cashier had to “convince” the manager to follow Best Buy policy. The price from the competitor was below the minimum allowed price, which I was ok with whatever the minimum allowed price is. (Needed to have it on the same day). The other thing is that the website shows that the product comes with 4 offers, and cashier told me that the customer cannot choose which one to receive. (He tried to see if he can choose, but he couldn’t. It’s the system’s limitation)

I purchased the Home Pod mini to use my Mac Mini computer speaker in my small (12x12) office so I don’t have to turn up the stereo (in another room) so I can hear it in my office. Pros: The mini provides much better sound than the Mac Mini speakers and works great for my purposes. It sounds great for its size (and price if on sale). I even think it would beat out some more expensive speakers in this and other categories. It would even work great as a TV speaker (depending on size of room). The larger HPod would be good for this purpose too. It’s great for background music/talk and even to turn it up to jam out to a favorite song in the office, but not likely for parties— it would get drowned out (again, depending on the size of room, purpose and number of people talking). Those considerations are important to me. It also makes for a great speaker phone if routed through continuity. Cons: I don’t like how I can not use it as a microphone to the Mac Mini for recording. This also causes issues for applications like Zoom, Skype, and even Facetime for video. I’ve read why but I don’t quite understand the reasons since you can connect the HPod mini directly to the Mac Mini’s Usbc-3 port. It needs to connect through bluetooth (which it has) to use it this way; otherwise, it has to go through iOS AirPlay or something like that…but not directly through MacOS. I’ve also read it will not support Apple’s new HD music streaming, Dolby Atmos, and Spacial sound, but I also read it will get an update so it can(?) Conclusion: I tried the big HomePod a while ago (to replace the main stereo) and it sounded great. It was not as full sounding or as loud as my current mini shelf system (as it should since it’s a system and not just one speaker), so I returned it. The Mini does not sound as “full” as the larger one but it is just as clear and crisp sounding. An update to utilize Apple’s new services would make this an excellent buy. It’s not a party speaker but that’s not why I bought it (I have that if needed). It works great as the intended computer/office speaker that sounds great for it’s size and category, and at a decent price.

I have a big HomePod in our main living space which I love! I bought this little guy for our bedroom to get the same convenience of Siri in there as well. The sound quality is pretty great and it gets pretty loud for how small it is too!

Beautiful design, good sound quality and bass. Compact n easy to pack.
