Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works very smoothly within the Apple world. Set-up via my iPhone was a breeze. Somewhat limited for the choice of music if you don't belong to Apple Music, which I don't at present. Sound is great. It won't answer some simple questions like "at what temperature should I cook a chicken breast" but will set a timer and let me know the local weather . Works very well with the Apple Homekit and I can turn on/off lights easily with "Hey Siri turn on the Master Bedroom Lamps" or "Hey Siri Goodnight" and it turns off the Master bedroom lights and the downstairs lamp".

Large sound for such a small device. If the mini sounds so great, I wonder what the larger one sounds like? May have to order one for another room.

Plus: - The sound from the speakers are good - it's easy to send stuff from other apple devices - it deals well with simple commands/queries (weather, time, etc.) Cons: - Siri is a lot more limited on this than on the phone. - HomePod's Siri interferes with iPhone Siri when both are on. Sometimes I'll ask my phone something and the HomePod will answer and say it can't do that. - It works better if you have apple music, and takes an extra step to use if you want to beam spotify from your phone... but it's just an extra step.

Very soft sounds with comfort to use in personal room

The HomePod mini definitely sounds better then any smart speaker I have owned and I love how I can use it for a phone call if I’m near it

I love my HomePod Mini, great sound for such a small smart speaker. Loved it so much I ended up getting another one for my kitchen.

this is a very good item easy to use and hook up i like it alot it ican tranfer to my computer to my iphone by one touch on homepod.

The HomePod is affordable and I use it all the time. I love the device and it’s great for anyone who wants music surrounding their room or rooms. Great deal, great product.

This little thing has a great big sound. It’s nice that it comes with its own power block too.

Great little speaker with surprising sound for it's size. Works excellent with my home automations in Homekit.

Loved it! The sound quality is great and I love the airplay compatibility! I can use it along with my LG smart TV and it’s perfectly synchronized!

I purchased two of these to work together as my TV sound system. The soundbar I had from Klipsh would not connect half the time. I do not have that issue with these Homepods. I also love that I can control the volume from my phone and play music from my iPhone to them. My only thing I wish is to make Spotify the default music app to play music from when I ask Siri to play something.

Best Apple speaker ever very functional and plays good loud music…Love the intercom feature when you have multiple devices in different rooms

Good and cheap alternative to the big homepod and plenty loud.

Great quality of sound and so beautiful to look at!

You won’t believe until you hear these. I have on or two in each room, can’t believe the quality of sound from such a tiny piece.

Mini but mighty. Truly an amazing swiss army knife smart speaker

A much more affordable smart home expansion if you are in an Apple ecosystem. I own two Homepods and added this to the kids area. Intercom feature alone is worth it. Gets lots of daily use. Sounds incredible.

Little but mighty. Obviously doesn’t pack the punch of its big brother, of which I have three, but works well for a smaller space like a bathroom.

Honestly, this is the most disappointing Apple product I’ve ever purchased. First, this is a *WiFi* speaker; not Bluetooth. That means that if you’re WiFi isn’t PERFECT, or you don’t have WiFi, it won’t connect. Second, the Home app is both confusing and does not operate in the way that Apple’s own website says it does. Third, if you get two for a stereo pair, you can expect them to very rarely work in concert with one another. One speaker would automatically connect to the 2.4GHz and the other to the 5GHz Wifi for no reason (I use a mesh Wifi system). After disabling the 2.4GHz signal altogether, one speaker absolutely refused to connect to anything. Within days of purchasing two of them, I could no longer pair them, connect to them, or control them in any way. Through every reset possible and even contact with Apple support, I was informed that one of the speakers was likely defective and needed to be replaced. Not years, not months, not even a week after purchasing and one was simply “defective”. Save your money and get a simple, wireless Bluetooth speaker. The only reason I won’t give these one star is because they did sound great for the first day I had them. After that, I had nothing but problems. Apple really dropped the ball on these by unnecessarily over-complicating every aspect of the user experience. Oh, and if you don’t have a “peer-to-peer” WiFi system (whatever the heck that means), expect certain functions to simply not work. I knew that they aren’t wireless (have to be plugged into an outlet at all times), but they aren’t Bluetooth either. Overall, I do NOT recommend purchasing the HomePod Mini until Apple adds Bluetooth, fixes the Home app, and gets rid of all the unnecessary bloat to the user experience. This is a speaker, yet feels like a failed concept that accidentally went into mass production
