Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing sound quality, great design, and very loud for the small size.

If you are an Apple person then this speaker is for you. I took a gamble as I have the Bose SoundTouch speakers throughout the house. Bose announced that they will be supporting airplay 2 in 2019 and I wanted this to be a speaker to include in my whole house system. Even if Bose does not end up supporting airplay 2, I will keep this speaker. It integrates with Siri well and even after a couple days of use, I have found myself using it more than I thought. I currently have it in my kitchen. You can ask it (Siri) about sports, news, and weather, and will give you updates from ESPN, a variety of other news outlets, and weather from the Weather channel. It has great bass for the size of the speaker and it sounds great overall. I have not tried to connect via Bluetooth yet. Set up was simple, especially with an iPhone. You literally hold your phone next to the speaker and you are basically done. Works great with Apple Music.

Love the sound, fills the room. I’m currently on my 4th mini, first space gray. One cool feature when you have multiples home pod, you can play music throughout your house(perfect for Christmas music in December).

I bought this for my wife for her first mothers day , and the smile on her face when she opened it, told me I did right . She uses it for everything , she says she wants more so it has friends to talk to. But honestly I think it’s a great addition to the apple family , I finally have an alarm that wakes her up that’s not me aha. But honestly it’s great not having to pull out my phone to use Siri when I’m cooking dinner for the family. My only complaint is that it’s not portable, that would make this the best electronic we own in the house if it was.

Open box home pod mini was totally worth it. I do love the regular sized HomePod for a deeper clarity. But this one is great if your on a budget and want to save on electricity.

I have enjoyed this product. The volume is perfect for the size of my room. The only thing that I am still learning is to have it automatically play from my phone instead of whatever it is programmed to. But that will be easy to figure out once I sit down and take the time to look at my seetings.

It has been great having the HomePod mini! It gets really loud and is easy to connect to. You can connect by getting close with your phone or casting to it via Wi-Fi. You can also communicate with Siri with it which is also convenient!

I mainly bought this to get the Apple home app working as a hub for home lights and all of that. I think it works the best between the competitors.

I enjoy being in the apple eco system, having these HomePods are a blessing. Sound quality is really good for these small speaker. Don’t expect these to have crazy loud sounds like a sub bar or surround sound home theater. These are minimal speakers with great mids and high sounds for the price. I have bought 2 of them, and connected them across my room. It sounds like the action is happening around me, then from the sounds coming from the tv in front of me. I will say they do sometimes lose sync with my Apple TV or Wi-Fi and the sounds is off sync. I don’t know if its updating or i just need to reset them. I usually unplug it from the wall outlet and let it reboot and it’ll end up, syncing up with my Apple TV. Ifs its just one off sync, then it’ll sync up with the other one that’s playing.

We purchased a pair of black home-pod mini's and set them us to hear left and right channel music in a large room. They sound as good as much larger speakers we have previously owned and enjoy having siri around to handle some basic talks as well.

Actually impressed with the sound output, it’s compact and set-up was fairly straight forward. Stereo Pair is definitely a better experience if you can afford two of them. Wish they still sold the original HomePod. 4 of these in a quad pair with Dolby Atmos would be awesome if ever supported.

Speaker is on my desk and main reason I got it was for homekit with my nanoleafs and alarms use. Its integrates with your iphone pretty nicely as well. Packs a punch for size and audio quality is respectable.

Great bathroom speaker! Amazing sound, good bass, and I’m really happy with it. It's much better than the competition.

I have been wanting a HomePod since they came out. I finally bought one. This thing is amazing, the sound is real crisp and clear, just the right amount of bass and is room filling. Our neighbors had a little bobcat removing rock from their backyard, I listened to music with this and drowned out every sound being made. Siri works great and much better than the past. I also like this so much better than the Amazon Echo we got with our smart home. Only thing I don’t like, Alarm.com, our alarm system, does not have a patch to operate with Apple HomeKit. So we keep the echo to control some parts of our smart home. Other than that, we are very satisfied with this amazing smart speaker.

I am writing this review in hopes this helps others thinking to buy them. This review is for 2 HomePod mini stereo paired. I bought one black and one white. They have to be paired in the home app on an iPhone and then updated separately. This is a pain, but be patient. Once paired, you can use with airplay. I personally just use them as a pair of speakers for my Mac mini. You can use airplay, or actually use as the audio output. I have issues with one speaker not working while the output, always works as airplay. You cannot use the EQ in airplay, only as output. Sometimes there is a gap in seamless tracks, sometimes there isn't. But all in all, I am very pleased with them. They sound great. I can use with all my apple devices. I do not use Siri, but it is possible. There is an intercom I also do not use. It is not as simple as bluetooth speakers. They do not charge, but do require a USB-c power block (included, whew). My Mac mini would not power them despite having 4 usb-c jacks. Music and movies sound great. 360 sound. I used to have the JBL BT speaker, but it died. I am not mad I replaced it with these. There are also stands that I recommend for cable management.

Well I’m new to the Apple HomeKit eco system And love that setup literally was as easy as 1,2,3. In comparison to all my other smart home IOT devices using the Amazon Alexa platform I love that with the new home pod mini stores all your personal data and is always stored locally in my home and me having the comfort of Knowing where everything is a never have to call for example Amazon to have them remove my past wifi and security data from my personal data and having to deal with the hassle of when something goes wrong I have to call and be transferred from department to department trying to find the issue and where the money roble is and the HomePod is very user friendly and I highly recommend it if your about your privacy and protect your home and family and loved ones data apple is the way to go a little more expensive but we’ll worth it in the end with all the new features and devices being made with the all new thread technology and much more to come in the near future.

Awesome little speaker. I expected a lot from Apple and I am happy with it. Good for a regular sized room. Bass is potent, I definitely enjoy it more with the bass option turned off. Its dope you'll like it!

I love it has great sound. I like that is small but the sound is great. I want get one every room in the house

Amazing works right out of the box with most simple set up and sounds amazing works way better than my Alexa

The Apple HomePod has been around for three years and I finally purchased one 12/3/2020. Typically, I do a fair amount of research before purchasing a new piece of technology and this time was no different. This may be why I was initially impressed with the sound when I setup the HomePod in my office (not a home office). The sound is full with firm deep bass which is often hit and miss in a speaker this size. The thing that intrigued me most was the "smart" functionality and I really wanted to explore more of the Siri ecosystem. Currently, we have Alexa functionality enabled on our SONOS speakers and other IoT devices. However, I want to move to Siri because of all of our other Apple devices (phones, watches, tablets, headphones, earphones, computers, TV), and because of privacy concerns. Apple's privacy policy aligns with my viewpoints and beliefs. Siri may not share many of the capabilities of other "digital assistants" but I knew this and am still willing to make the move. The "Smart" functionality of the HomePod is made this a four star rating rather than three stars. The speaker functionality of the HomePod is where I have issue with all of the reviews I read and watched. I wondered why no one compared the HomePod to a SONOS speaker. They are similar in shape size and functionality (Google and Amazon assistant only) but that's where the similarities end. The sound of the HomePod just doesn't measure up to the $199 SONOS One. I have SONOS throughout my house so I brought the HomePod home for the weekend to do a side by side comparison. I expected more for a $299 speaker from Apple. I am not saying the speaker is worthless. It is very good and certainly an affordable, and very good, option to setting up a complete home theatre system from SONOS when you can setup two HomePods in a stereo pair and make them your default audio source with AppleTV 4k. Perhaps if I didn't have such a substantial investment in SONOS products I would try the home theatre setup. I believe this HomePod will be a permanent addition at my office with the music, news, speaker phone, digital assistant, and privacy functionality. I will also turn off the digital assistant function on my SONOS speakers at home and add HomePod Mini fo the digital assistant function.
