Customer Ratings & Reviews

These work exactly as expected and are perfect for people in the Apple ecosystem. Would probably have purchased the black ones if they were available when I bought them.

If you have a lot of Apple products, and even more HomeKit enabled smart devices, I would reccomend getting this for every single room in your home. HomeKit doesn’t have the best device compatibility, but when you have devices that do work with it, it performs amazingly. Even if you dont have smart home devices, I would 1000% reccoment getting this and an Apple Music subscription. It sounds absolutely amazing and is even better at maximum volume.

Good sound. Super cute color. Looks good in my office. Going to get a couple more to set up an intercom.

We had the google pods and let me tell you, these are an upgrade especially if you have iPhones

I do love this speaker. I purchased an open box so I paid a little bit less. The sound is very good comparing to the Echo Premium sound and the google nest mini. I have stereo pairs of all three but decided to sell the Echo when I got the HomePod minis. I have noticed a lag when pairing with Apple TV. I have used the calibration tool more than once. Maybe when apple allows them as default tv speakers? But they are very cool! I love the integration with my phone and watch. I am especially happy with this purchase since apple began supporting lossless quality Apple Music streaming.

Heavenly. What else can I say? We have two set up and fall asleep to beautiful sounds. Works seamlessly with Apple devices.Best purchase. Love love it

Awesome! It’s small, Easy to use and has excellent sound quality!

This is easily the most useless and unsuccessful Apple product I’ve owned. It’s the first time I’ve felt genuinely undersatisfied with an Apple purchase. Apple markets HomePod as offering “seamless transfers,” but that only applies to music. You cannot transfer or use it for app-based calls like Zoom, Teams, or WhatsApp. A basic $30 Bluetooth speaker can handle those without issue. In that sense, this is objectively worse than a cheap speaker. Sound quality is not impressive either. It’s fine, but nothing special, and in my experience not better than an Amazon Echo. For the price, it’s overpriced and underwhelming. The behavior is also unreliable. It randomly starts playing music without any clear trigger, and when that happens, you often can’t even stop or control it properly from the phone. This has happened multiple times, and it feels unpredictable and buggy. Connection with a Mac is unstable. You cannot rely on it as a permanent external speaker. It disconnects, fails to reconnect, and generally does not behave like a normal audio device. Bottom line: this is not a smart speaker in any practical sense. It’s a very restricted music appliance with confusing limitations that Apple does not clearly disclose. Honestly, a $15 knockoff Bluetooth speaker would be more versatile and seamless for everyday use. Extremely disappointing.

Apple created very nice design and sound is also surround and clear, better than alexa or google home

I have a pair of these in one room and a pair of Home Pods in our family room. Very good sound for a small speaker. Nice that you can pair two of them for stereo. Also nice that you can use them as a sound source for Apple TV 4K, (not sure if it works the same way with a standard Apple TV). That said, if your looking for excellence with an Apple speaker pair, better to splurge for the Home Pod. The Home Pods are a big step up from the Home Pod mini. But you’ll pay for it. When looking for smart speakers and smart home devices, privacy should be a consideration. Compare Apple privacy with other companies smart device agreements.

Overall, I really like the HomePod mini. The sound quality is great, and the Siri functions work seamlessly. The only reason I'm giving the product 4 stars is due to the inconsistent handoff from my iPhone to the HomePod.

Excellent clean mid and high sound. Never any lag with Apple TV. It’s my 2nd HomePod and it works with other HomePods easily for a surround sound setup.

Perfect size and shape for small spaced areas. Sound is loud enough but not too much where it takes away from the quality of the sound.

The HomePod by far is the best sounding smart speaker you can buy on the market. However, due to the fact many manufacturers don’t support Apple HomeKit, Siri falls behind in terms of overall functionality. But the main highlight of the HomePod is the sound. Though the sound is room filling, it is best when it is stereo paired, which dramatically changes the entire listening experience. Also, if you have 2 HomePods and an Apple TV 4K, you can use HomePods for Dolby Atmos sound which is amazing. Overall, it’s a really good sounding speaker and has tons of bass, yet somehow remains balanced, presumably due to the fact there is a dedicated sub component within the HomePod which is about 4”. The audio is very clear, and the HomePod gets very loud. In my experience, I would recommend putting the HomePod about 5-7 inches away from a wall, this will give the HomePod better functionality in terms of its sound beaming capabilities. it makes a huge difference, it’s just the basic physics of sound. One thing that is important to note is that this device is for people who are heavily invested into the Apple EcoSystem, and are subscribers of Apple Music, because yes they do have 3rd party music support from platforms such as Spotify and Pandora, however the functionality is not ideal due to it still being implemented and developed. Also this is not a Bluetooth speaker and is only AirPlay compatible, meaning you need an Apple device to stream to it, if you aren’t using Siri on the HomePod to ask it play music.

Quality sound in a small package. Get two and play in stereo. Siri still hasn't got the smarts of the competition, but she's getting better. Would buy again.

I love this little guy. It sounds great, fast, responsive. Looks good on a table or shelf. Comes attached to a nice braided cable and includes the 20w charger.

These are a great buy! Highly recommend! Sounds great! Only thing is it might take longer than you think to set up due to downloading HomePod update. You must buy two!! Great stereo sound!!

These little speakers pack one hell-a of a punch an the dynamic range is insane for such a small speaker.

Wanted one because of the apple ecosystem but I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality for this size and this price. I'll be getting another one to pair.

Amazing sound from Apple in a space saving size that features rich bass and clarity in audio quality! ❤️
