Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Amazing sound from this little guy. I placed it in my bathroom and it blew me away. Siri is super fast and responsive and the music with Apple music is Amazing!! I was so impressed I bought one for a friend.

Amazing sound nice size great quality worth the money

Great product. I am amazed at the sound this tiny speaker can produce. It also is just so easy to setup and use.

I’ve been wanting to get a HomePod for a few years now and finally gave in. It’s super simple to set up and use and works great with HomeKit smart home products. It may be pretty small but this speaker has great audio quality compared to my previous echo spot and google home mini.

Overall great after a slight stubble setting it up. I had to go back and reset it to get through the setup for some reason. Likely my fault. The ease of use and integration with my other Apple products is everything I hoped for in buying it. The response to commands is accurate. The sound is terrific.

It is pretty good for the size of it, the full size has much better sound though. I do like it overall though, the intercom function is pretty neat and I like that if you play a song it plays in all rooms. Overall I give it 4 stars as its great but I expected a little more power from it and for the price I expected it to be more around the 50 dollar range. I guess I can't be too picky though....

[Employee of bestbuy] Excellent sound quality. Easy to use. I have two hooked up to my Apple TV and love steaming music and phone calls to them from my laptop or phone. Super easy to set up and use.

I love these little HomePod speakers more than I realized I would. I wasn't even thinking about how I can use Siri on them. I've even programmed shorcuts to have them remind me to do things at certain times of the day so that I can keep a better schedule for myself. I think I may buy one just for my bathroom too so that I Can enjoy music throughout my entire apartment. These have made it som much easier to listen to music, wake up in the morning and keep my own personal schedule. I highly recommend them!

I now own five of these HomePods, which are scattered around the home. They punch out clear, rich sound and are surprisingly loud when you need them to be. The perfect form factor for smaller rooms, or where space is limited, plus all of the benefits of Siri. I highly recommend these HomePods.

Easy to set up and connect with my smart lightbulbs, convenient and make it easy to play music throughout the house

As a owner with multiple apple products, this connected seamlessly with my devices. A favorite part of owning this HomePod is the compact design. It fits on my desk easily without taking much space and it’s connection with the Apple TV gives a budget surround sound when streaming movies. I love it

I bought 2 to use as a stereo pair with my 2022 Apple TV 4K. Best purchase I have made especially for football season. The sound is amazing. Easy install and setup with the Apple TV4K.

This was my first time using the HomePod mini & it does not disappoint. Gives great sound and easy to use.

Set up is easy and pair with your iCloud. I have them set up in multiple place is my home to use the intercom feature which btw is amazing. I also use them to play music through out the house at low levels.

As with all Apple products it just works. Easy setup, easy to use. Sound is great. The best sounding Bluetooth speaker I ever had.

My husband loves has speaker! The speaker has nice sound with it.

I have had my eye on the HomePod since it was released. For me the cost of entry was always a bit too high. I finally caved when Best Buy had a sale and picked one up. Comparing it to the two echo dots that I have at home, the HomePod was in a whole other league. Sound was crisp and filled the room, and sounded great in multiple locations, due to the HomePods ability to optimize it sound based on the room. Being an Apple Music subscriber, using Siri on the HomePod to play music and playlists that it would think I would like has been nothing short of a treat. I find the music recommendations great and the sound quality unmatched in a smart speaker. Although Siri has gotten a bad reputation, I find Siri is more than adequate for most queries and actions. Again comparing it to my two echo dots, I actually prefer Siri for 99% of things. I have found Siri to have less hangups, especially when making music requests. Apples app “Siri shortcuts “does make customizing what you request from Siri better. However the app can be a bit daunting to novice users. And Siri’s response when responding to custom commands can sometimes be robotic. I have found that Siri is far quicker than Alexa at controlling smart home devices. Having loved the HomePod so much, when they were on sale again, I picked a second one up. I set them up in stereo mode and was again very impressed by the sound that it put out. Ideally, I would have a HomePod on each floor of my home. Due to the higher price of the HomePod, the cost can be restrictive to making that a reality. While I have two set up on one floor in a stereo pair, it is easy enough to move one or both to another floor or a room, plug it in, and have it play without doing anything else. The HomePod works best with Apple Music, but with the upcoming update in the Fall of 2020, Apple will be allowing third party music support on the HomePod. Although it is possible to do so now by air playing to the speaker from your phone, you must still rely on the phone to do so. The new update should allow third party services to run natively. The HomePod is a device for people that want smart home control, with the advantage of privacy that Apple offers, along with a love and appreciation for music. If music is not a priority, there are currently cheaper alternatives to dedicate to smart home control. For music lovers and those in the Apple ecosystem, the HomePod is a great choice.

Excellent device and there are a ton of benefits to having this if you are an iPhone user. I set my calendar with it, answer calls, meditation, surround sound and of course play music. Sound is excellent and Siri works great! It is amazing how apple ecosystem works together for maximum productivity!

Incredibly robust sound for such a small device. Pair this with a second (same generation, same model) Airpod Mini, and one can enjoy incredible spatial-like stereo audio. Very enjoyable, crisp sound when tied to your Apple TV.
