Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this for a very specific purpose: to enable an elderly person with cognitive difficulties to listen to the classical music she loves. When it’s paired with her iPad and Apple Music, all she has to do is say, “Hey, Siri, play Beethoven,” and it does. It also happens to be beautifully designed and deliver remarkably good sound quality for something so small, but that doesn’t really matter in this case. What does matter is that, as Apple used to say in its advertising, it just works. And that makes it well worth the admittedly high price.

I bought a pair of these to try in a stereo setup. Syncing them with my phone was as smooth as expected. They worked wonderfully with Apple Music. Very impressed with Siri voice command; in particular their ability to hear commands even when speaking quietly while they are playing at high volumes. The sound was much better than I’d hoped- decent highs and a surprising amount of low end for their size. I came very close to keeping them. Ultimately they went back because I was looking for a pair of speakers that would elevate the music a bit more for critical listening. For the casual listener who has an Apple Music subscription, however, they are hard to beat in terms of simplicity, access to music, and yes, the sound as well. I’d be happy to have one (or two) down the road for a second or third audio zone.

The only problem I have with this speaker is Siri. Which may seem like a big deal, but for the most part I try not to use her. Siri can do the basics so its not always noticeable but anything beyond that she is very useless.

It’s No Secret That Siri Doesn’t Stack Up Well Against Alexa Or Google Assistant, But I Think For The Average Joe Who Listens To Music (Apple Music Mainly) Will Love The HomePod. It’s Bassy, Balanced Sound Is Just Enough. This Speaker Is Small, But Packs All The Punch, Kick Or Whatever You’re Into To WOW You. Simply Put If You’re An Avid Apple Music Listener This Will Work Well With Your Current Set Up And With AirPlay 2 It’s Even Better. My Current TV Is Trash So I Use My HomePod W/ My APPLE TV And AirPlay Through It. To Get The Best Sound Possible. I Love This Thing May Get Another To Unlock Stereo Surround Sound.

I really like my Homepod minis and plan to buy more for the house. I think the sound is great. I love being able to create a stereo pair with them and use with an Apple TV. I find it a bit annoying that I can't use them as the default sound output like a pair of Homepods. Get us that and its 5 stars.

I wanted to try a home speaker. I decided to go with the mini HomePod since I have Apple products. Setup is easy and the sound is better than I expected for its size. If you looking for a more robust sound then this is not it.

The Apple Homepod has excellent sound. I’m not a speaker expert but the sound on this speaker is great! You do need to place it in a good spot to get the best sound (not obstructed by too many things on a counter or shelf). I got it on sale for $200 and definitely worth it. I also like that they don’t make money off of my voice commands, unlike other speakers... Also very easy to install. Literally plug it and my iPhone detected it automatically.

These are pretty nice setups. I purchased four to replace two first generation HomePods. I like that the Mini’s can be paired into stereo mode, but I’m disappointed that Bluetooth isn’t available as a connection option. ITT seems if ever a device would benefit from Bluetooth streaming, it would be the Mini.

I was blown away by this little speaker, and I used to be part owner of a recording studio in L.A. I own three HomePods (3x the price), and these little guys are almost as good. Don't hesitate if you're thinking of buying a couple!

This little guys works great! Lots of sound. We also have the regular HomePod although it does not get as bassy it is very clear. Also it picks up Siri commands easily so the mics works great. Great addition to our HomeKit set up.

When you are in the eco system of apple this is the next logical purchase. Sound quality is great and who knows what applications apple will integrate to make it better.

HomePod mini and HomePod 2 are so simple and pair fantastically with Phillip Hue lights or Arlo Cameras. 10/10, worth the price!

Awesome mini speaker. Have an easy time connecting and switching between devices to play audio I learned that you can pair multiple mini homepods and create your own audio space too, which is a cool option I might try out soon!

The sound was awesome but i dont understand why they would make a speaker you could not connect an android phone aounds like they want to lose money to me, so we went with a sony speaker and my daughter loves it more.

[Employee of bestbuy] Really helpful for turning off various hue lights i have

It’s a great product. It’s awesome to control so mi ch with just voice. WELL worth $99.

Being a Stereo buff in my life, I bought 2 of these when they showed up on Sale. No sense in buying just one, in my opinion. They pair easily and they just work like they should. I don't ask much of my "toys" like many do, so there may be things that don't work for others, but I LOVE the sound and the volume is never too high, but always ultra clear and well defined. If you just want excellent sound without trying to entertain the neighbors, this is a beautiful sounding speaker. As with all things Apple, easy to set up, easy to operate. It Just Works

I'm trying to replace my Alexa devices with these. It's not as compatible with smart home devices. But I've managed to cobble together a solution so that the HomePod can control our SmartThings lights. I'll try controlling Harmony Hub and Xbox next. The sound quality is pretty good for the price and size.

Bought an open box so had to do some research to get things set up with my system hit got it figured out. Paired with a second mini pod and sounds fantastic.

These have changed the way my apartment works. Great for home system, great quality sounds. Amazing capabilities with Apple TV
