Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Apple HomePod mini has been a fantastic addition to my space. It connects seamlessly to my iPhone, making it super easy to play music, take calls, or control smart devices with just a voice command or tap. The sound quality is surprisingly impressive for its size — rich, balanced, and fills the room beautifully. Whether I’m listening to music, a podcast, or using it as a speakerphone, everything sounds crystal clear. It’s compact, stylish, and fits perfectly into any room. If you’re already in the Apple ecosystem, the HomePod mini feels like a natural (and smart) upgrade.

The HomePod mini is a fantastic addition to my home ecosystem. For its compact size, the sound quality is great—it easily fills the room and handles daily music playback beautifully. I use it daily and have successfully integrated it into my smart home, including setting up an automation to use music as my morning alarm, which works flawlessly. The seamless setup and powerful integration with Apple HomeKit are huge wins for the device. However, Siri definitely needs work. While basic commands are fine, the voice assistant frequently struggles with more complex requests or understanding context. I sincerely hope future software updates bring better, more responsive functionality to Siri to truly unlock the potential of the HomePod mini. Overall, it's a solid smart speaker and a great smart home hub.

Sound quality is pretty good with impressive bass and clear sound. But the only issue is with connectivity while using with multiple devices. I used with Mac and iPhone but every time after playing from Mac it was unable to connect to iPhone so I had to reset the HomePod. Also, it only supports Apple Music.

We now have 2 of these in our living room. We just live that they are small and the sound is fantastic.

The Apple HomePod Mini is a sleek, compact smart speaker that delivers impressive performance for its size. Its design is minimalistic and fits seamlessly into most home setups. The sound quality is commendable, with balanced audio and surprisingly deep bass for such a small device. However, it doesn't compare to larger, more premium speakers. Siri integration is smooth but limited compared to competitors like Alexa or Google Assistant, especially in terms of third-party app compatibility. It shines in Apple-centric ecosystems, seamlessly integrating with other Apple devices and offering features like Handoff. While the price is competitive, it might not be the best choice for non-Apple users due to its limited cross-platform functionality. Overall, the HomePod Mini is a great option for Apple loyalists seeking a compact and stylish smart speaker with decent sound quality.

Good sound. Pretty easy to use but not always perfect. Sometimes you will have to repeat functions to get them to work. Biggest flaw, why is it not wireless?!!!

Small but mighty this thing sounds great and perfect for listening to music while cooking in the kitchen.

We had Alexa running our whole house. And then Bezos started overstepping in really weird ways, and we wanted him out. And now he is. Apple keeps our data private. We like it that way. The voice recognition is far better than Alexa. The only issue that we have is that this runs on the Matter protocol, which means that we had to replace all of our light bulbs in our house because HomePod does not work on regular SmartThings protocol, and there is no way to get it to work. Matter, or nothing. Which sucks. But it was worth it to keep Bezos from monitoring everything that is happening in our house.

I have three HomePod minis in my house and love them. I wish I had more. Great sound for a little speaker but even better is the features that come with it. I love how well it integrates into the Apple ecosystem.

Awesome speaker and love the sound. Only thing is the speaker is not wireless has to be connected to power supply. Overall will be purchasing the HomePod and mini in near future

I purchased this with the idea that it would act as alarm clock for me when I decided to take all other electronics out of my bedroom at night. Like anything Apple branded it off course works seamlessly with your iPhone so Siri works great and the “handoff” feature of placing your phone on top of the speaker and then whatever you’re playing starts playing on the speaker also works great. Sound is also surprisingly good for such a small speaker. However, if you’re like me and want to use it as an alarm clock of sorts I would recommend against it. Annoyingly, you can tell Siri to set an alarm and it will, but if I happen to wake up early and want to cancel the alarm, I would have to start talking to Siri and ask to turn the alarm off. No problem if you’re single but if you’ve got someone sleeping next to you then you’re having a conversation that will inevitably wake them up. There’s no way of getting to your iPhone and turning the alarm off on the HomePod specifically. Because of that, I went with Amazon Alexa echo spot which has a digital clock and weather display, Alexa voice recognition to turn an alarm on and the ability to turn the alarm off directly on the unit to or my phone - and it’s $50 cheaper.

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!!!

The Apple HomePod Mini is a bit of a letdown from a company I’ve come to expect greatness from, especially as I’ve consolidated most of my gear into the Apple ecosystem. I had high hopes of using Siri as my go-to voice interface for home control, but this little speaker doesn’t quite deliver. It can be frustratingly slow and unresponsive at times, and too often, answers to my questions require me to pull out my iPhone to see the details—a clunky experience that feels half-baked. That said, it’s not all bad. The sound quality is solid for its size, making it a decent pick for music, and it handles basic home automation tasks—like controlling lights or locks—well enough. But for a company like Apple, “good enough” feels underwhelming. I can’t help but imagine how they could dominate this space with a HomePod that has a screen and some of that Apple Intelligence magic baked in. Maybe it’s coming soon.

These things work great! I now have four paired as two sets in different rooms for the house and it’s so easy to cast from my phone and have great music. The sound qualities is beyond expectation for a device of that size.

I have a BenQ 4K monitor that i was using for gaming and well I upgraded to a BenQ Mobiuz and couldn’t just sit the old one to the side and figured why not make it a TV/Computer monitor. Then i realized i could really hear anything since the old BenQ didn’t have speakers (well not good ones) and never really noticed since i always had headphones on when gaming. Anyway I saw these lil beauties (HomePod mini and the big one) and figured why not connect it to the Apple TV for surround sound and boom situation fixed. Also i can have it outside for cookout and family get together. The sound is amazing and that’s the mini. The big one? Omg my neighbors had to ask me to turn it down lol.

Good product. Decent sound and interactive siri came with it. Thanks for bestbuy good for good deals!

Has great sound for surround or just solo use. Great for spare bedrooms use

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.

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)

So easy to set up and easy to use! I’m a homebody and enjoy having this speaker blasting whatever podcast or playlist I want throughout the day. Insane quality!
