Customer Ratings & Reviews

Really enjoying this product! The set up is crazy easy with your iPhone and for a small device the sound is pretty impressive. It doesn’t take up much space and I have it tucked away in the corner of a side table in my living room.

With its combination of design, performance, and spiritual utility, the HomePod mini is a gem worth having in every home and office. An excellent, elegant, and holy-tech-friendly companion.

Our family loves these Homepods - we have 3. Can link them all in different rooms to have music playing throughout the house at the same time. The sound is excellent . The size, design and sound quality are perfect for anywhere.

Amazing sound from such a small speaker. I have two connected in a stereo pair and they work great as speakers for my 4k Apple TV. Much better than my previously larger and more expensive soundbar. I really like the minimalistic look.

The quality and range obviously isn’t as awesome as the standard homepod, but pairing them up and strategically placing them around the house has definitely leveled up my streaming at home. Easy to pair up and use. Definitely recommend the mini for small spaces like a bedroom

Sounds great! Love the easy setup and seamless integration with other Apple devices.

Great sound quality and surprisingly it has some good bass to it. Very portable. Easy use. Great loudness too

I got this to serve as the hub for our smart devices and it works great but weve been plesently suprised by other aspects. The sound quality is good given the size of the speaker and the kids are loving to use the intercom feature since its setup in the game room. A solid addition if your already using other Apple products and have a few other smart devices around the house to pair.

I have been intrigued by this product since released, and frustrated with Apple's pricing practices and desire to be a "top tier" company by only offering high end high price products. This device always seemed a bit overpriced and unnecessary for me as I have a nice sound system connected to my TV, but I wanted something for Home Kit control. I like Apple's focus on encryption and privacy especially with the alway on always listening home controlling devices like this. I have apple Home Kit enabled devices in my house, and wanted a quick way for my pet sitter to turn them on and off when she comes in. I tried the Amazon dot last year, but found it difficult to setup and you need to have the always listening feature on. It also required setting up my already existing already working HomeKit enabled devices in the Alexa app which was hit and miss. I was waiting and hoping that Apple would release a cheaper version of this with less speaker and more control. Then Best Buy had this on holiday sale for 100 dollars off retail price. I figured it was worth a try knowing I had time to return it if it did not work. I set it up in seconds yesterday, and immediately transferred the podcast I was listening to on my phone to the speaker. I often wear headphones around the house and listen to music or podcasts throughout the day. This makes it easy to transfer what I am listening to via my phone airplay button and I can hear it clearly from anywhere in the downstairs. It sounds amazing and is so much easier to use to listen to anything on my phone. Yes you can use it without the Hey Siri feature listening. You can press and hold the center of the top panel which prompts Siri so I can turn off the "always listening" or if it does that annoying digital assistant thing where it mishears something I say that sounds vaguely like "Hey Siri" and becomes disruptive (This has not happened yet). I also like that in the Home app on my iPhone I can turn off the Home pod analytics which will not share my always on always listening recordings with Apple or anyone else. I wish the $200 price was not a promotion, but the retail price. After 1.5 days it has proven its worth and made me realize something I was overtly critical of and uninterested in is as good as I was sure it was not. I like being proven wrong. I am not sure I would pay $300 for it at full price, but if it keeps impressing me like this I might eat those words as well.

Surprisingly great sound. I now have several of these that I used to replace Echo devices and the sound is better. Siri is responsive and I like that these have Thread built in. I also like the intercom feature.

$100 well spent! I have two HomePods in my room, but for Christmas we got our Daughter the HomePod Mini and she couldn't be happier! Even me.. I'm amazed by it!! My HomePods are HUGE, they're totally awesome, but they're HUGE. Hers is so tiny I can't even get it and the sound quality is AMAZING! Plus, we can airplay the two HomePods with the HomePod Mini to all play together for an actual houseparty!! We have a smart house too, so she can control the lights and whatnot.. even intercom us now. The intercom alone for most parents will be appreciated over the normal "MOOOM!" or "DAAAAD!" which is great.

Great Speaker, especially if you are already in the Apple ecosystem! Third HomePod speaker purchased in 5 years, this one for the kitchen. Love how I can have one playing or multiples to fill the whole house.

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

Works well, and the sound is good. It wasn't as big as I expected, which is a good thing since I was able to place it at the corner of my desk. Only issue is it sometimes disconnects after a song ends, but this issue has only happened while using Apple Music.

Small and easy to place with big sound. Siri understands my commands perfectly from across the room. Overall sound is good, but could use more bass. Missed out on the original larger iPods, would prefer those. A sub-woofer would be a good addition.

The homepod is easy to control and plays everything my phone can and also works for kirchen cooking stuff with timers and recipe measurements and stuff like that. Good sound. Price was very cheap as well. Will be getting another soon.

we have an open floor plan where the kitchen, dining room, and living room are all open to each other. We the HomePod mini in our dining room. We primarily use it to listen to music while cooking dinner and eating at the dinning room table. The sound quality really surprised me especially if you're within 20' of it. Further than that, and you won't notice the bass response as well. I believe this to be because it uses passive drivers. We found that Siri has responded to us 100% of the time, even across the room 40' away, and we don't have to yell... Cool things are the multi-person detection, Siri plays from my wife's Music library when she engages Siri and will switch to my library when I request music. Also the hand-off feature is pretty slick. A little slower (iPhone 12 mini) than what i was expecting but still good enough to use. I also use it to get weather reports, quick lookup questions, hear what's on my calendar for the day, and

This is a great smart speaker, and does even better in pairs with an Apple TV. You get great stereo from by your head rather than coming from the TV on the other side of the room, and you can even just tell Siri to skip the ads! My only complaint is that the power cable is neither removable or repairable, so if your pet rabbit happens to get close and chews through it, you have a dead product!

I picked up two of these to pair and use as my desktop speakers alongside my iMac. They didn't let me down! The sound is pretty good even though it doesn't have the ability to sense where it's placed in the room similar to the original HomePod. I appreciate that they are lighter on the bass, but I still would love to have the ability to adjust the EQ similar to other speakers on the market. Sometimes the initial connection to my iMac will only pickup one of the two HomePod Minis so I will connect back to my internal speakers and then it will pickup both on the second attempt. I would love to see the option to make the HomePod Minis the default source of audio for my iMac so that I wouldn't have to worry about connecting each time I sit at my desk. I would also love if these were wireless or supported Bluetooth 5.0 but I suppose I'll have to wait and hope for that down the road from Apple.

Good sound quality for the size. If you want loud go with the regular HomePod. Siri works well and it will connect to and access your iCloud/iTunes/Apple Music without connecting through a phone or computer. Intercom ability with multiple speakers is also a nice function.
