Fantastic sounding speaker to control all your HomeKit products. Be aware that if you buy it open box, Best Buy team does not factory reset it. To be able to utilise it make sure you go through the reset steps or you will be frustrated when it doesn’t work on delivery.

Bought this mini HomePod, as I wasn’t completely sold on the HomePod. I’m used to buying Harmon kardon Bluetooth speakers. 100$. Great little speaker. Very responsive, easy to use , good sound. If you like Apple products this one is a great addition to your home, or office.

Used primarily as a HomeKit hub. I was skeptical at first if I’d use any other features but it’s turned into a daily driver (music streaming, etc). I’m planning on getting more for the house.

Really good punch for the size! I bought this as a gift for someone and I have the original HomePod which sound is amazing. The mini is very loud for its size without distortion. Very pleased with the purchase.

A nice addition to the Apple ecosystem. It sounds good and works as a hub for your HomeKit accessories. Setup is quick and easy using your iPhone. I have the original HomePod setup as a stereo pair and I believe these would make a great stereo system especially for smaller spaces.

I already have several of these, I like that they can be connected to each other, good sound quality and perfect to add it to your apple tv and watch movies

No more yelling for the kids to come down for dinner or school . We use the intercom feature every day. This is not just a Bluetooth speaker. It can be playing one song on Apple Music while I’m playing a totally different song on my cell phone. It’s got the tech built in. Also room temp and fire alarm detection. With check on someone if it detects a fire alarm. It’s great!

Bought this to run and operate my apple HomeKit. It has made using my Apple TV’s, lights, and my other smart devices very simple. I plan to buy a couple more just to have around the house.

We purchased two of these and it has been a great addition to our household the kids love it and we can intercom between rooms and it really has great sound! We will be getting more to place around the house!

Awesome device for my home. I like how this is a lot smaller then the original model. It works great with my home automation setup. Speaker inside has good quality sound but I don’t fully use it for that purpose.

I bought this after signing up for Apple Music and wanted a compatible speaker. Great sound, very easy to set up (just hold your iPhone up to it), and definitely worth the money.

After many years of experience with Alexa, the HomePod is a refreshing change. It has a better microphone and better sound. It integrates very easily with our Apple devices, and it’s smaller!

Great sound, great integration with the Apple ecosystem, compact. Basically everything I want in a speaker. I picked it up on sale for $80, which made it a great value in my opinion.

The sound from this little bubble is impressive, and I imagine using two together would be as well. It’s pleasant to have as a quick way to ask Siri for favors. I’m very happy with this product. It is only 4 stars because a visual interface, or deeper control through the Home app, would make this a lot more useful. Also, setup was not plug and play for me, but you might have better luck. I had to troubleshoot and it took a solid 30 minutes or more before it got going.

Great sound, great value. For a little speaker, this is able to easily fill up a room. The price point makes it a great value. I wish the charger was a bit smaller, but that is a minor gripe.

I purchased two of these mainly for the small size. I use them as a speaker pair with my Apple TV in my bedroom and it creates a great surroundsound. It also works perfectly with all my HomeKit enable devices

A perfect solution for small space audio to pair with your Apple ecosystem. This tiny little fella makes sure that you can hand off sound and phone calls with a simple process. The audio isn't great, especially when looking for deeper bass, but there is nothing comparable in terms of sound quality for this cost and size. It's missing a few things like waterproof and the ability to operate without being plugged in. Siri integration, voice recognition and seamless integration with all of your apple products (including those that are in your Apple Home family) makes this a great addition to your collection. The added colors makes it even more attractive.

Great speaker sound and so easy to add to our existing WIFI. The music plays from room to room as you walk through the home at a consistent volume. They can even serve as an intercom as well.

Love it, dead easy to set up, have one in my office, living room and bedroom, can can control all my HomeKit devices, the office one is used to listen to Radio while working, sound is very good.

I waited nearly a year to purchase the HomePod until it went on sale for a not inexpensive, but much more reasonable price for an innovative and well executed speaker design. I took some time to “burn in” the speaker components with a variety of music styles, something done with higher end speakers in expectation of bringing out audio warmth and fidelity. I even placed it in a bay window enclave to act as a sort of speaker horn enclosure so as to enhance the projected sound. Such were my high hopes for how well the HomePod might perform. After all, it had been hyped and compared to higher end stereo equipment due to its genuine technical advances in speaker design. Its WiFi only input maximized the digital music information the advance computer chip could upscale for the multiple speakers calibrated for each personalized listening area. Well, it turns out not to be the aural renaissance of bookshelf audio systems, an unrealistic expectation Apple perpetrated upon itself for this device. Nonetheless, it is a compact and competent sound system that produces music with enough quality to lose yourself in it, absent of harsh or distracting distortions in the musical reproduction. It is a joy to merely ask for whatever song or album comes to mind from memory or suggestion and then be able to listen effortlessly to faithfully reproduced music. That said, and despite being a fan of the Apple ecosystem who harbored high hopes for how well the HomePod would perform, it is evident that it is not, and never will be a high-end bookshelf speaker system that transforms the music from the mundane into some superlative version. Moreover, it is ironic and frustrating that in trying so hard to be more than it is via strict audio source inputs, it is transformed into less than it could be if only Apple would “jailbreak” the HomePod. For starters, it could at least allow Bluetooth 5 audio connections for input. That would unleash it as a top-notch Bluetooth speaker free from depending upon a WiFi network, freely accessing whatever sound sources were available to the listener. A USB-C input would be a cinch winner also, simultaneously inputting audio and charging the audio input device. Yes, I know that would impinge on the revenue stream from Apple Music that is the real money to be made by Apple with the HomePod, but it would enable a moderately high-end audio system and an ultimate midway audio system. It would likely be the preeminent sound system for small-spaces like apartments, dorms, offices, RV’s, work spaces, sheltered exterior spaces, etc. At the same time, doing so would not prevent it serving as the aspirational sound system Apple envisioned. It would dovetail nicely into maximizing their high-dollar X series phones that now have Bluetooth 5, which seemingly allows virtually lossless digital streaming rather the the garbage in, garbage out hyper-compressed digital formats inherent in previous Bluetooth iterations. As it is, the HomePod has garnered a precious small percentage of the smart speaker market as they have virtually required an Apple Music subscription to make use of their speaker. In pursuit of their version of the perfect sound system, Apple has destroyed the very good, and for most customers of a device like this, good enough is perfect. That still leaves the not-so-smart-speaker problem of poor, dear, simple Siri’s incompetence at summoning anything but Apple Music (or most anything else reliably) that severely limits HomePod's utility as a go-to music and other listening device. That one will not go away until Apple develops the in-house talent to build Siri out as seemingly envisioned originally, or the in-house vision to develop her by building out that talent however those billions of earnings might increase product value. Then Siri might just tell me she does not have access to Willie and Lobo in her music catalogue rather than giving me some random Willie Nelson album.
