Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my second HomePod mini and I am using it in a different room, not pairing the two together. The HomePod mini offers an impressive rich sound that will fill a room. The setup is super simple.

Great sound no it listens to me when I talk to it. Hey Siri! I like it. Super easy to put on music instantly. Just ask it to and tell it what type of music you want to hear.

You will love the HomePod if and only if: You have an IOS device You are already are or willing to be in the Apple Music World You value quality sound You don’t want to order a pizza from your speaker. You will HATE the HomePod if you can put a NOT in front of any ONE of the above statements. People bash this speaker because it doesn’t try to be like any or all other speakers. Judge it for what it is, not what it isn’t. Its great adaptive sound. Voices in particular are clear. Its great with Apple Music. Its easy to set up with IOS. Its small. It blends in with the room. Its quality. Its not for droids. Sorry.

Amazing speaker! Absolutely beautiful design and excellent sound on this tiny thing. Never underestimated apple and never will.

We needed to replace three HomePods so I got 3 more minis. They are so small and have excellent sound! We use ours for surround sound and they do an amazing job!

The setup was super easy. I got a pair for stereo sound and use with my Apple tv. I did had to exchange one 3 times because it wasn’t working consistently when through airplay. Hopefully Apple will have a fix for that soon!

This was my second HomePod mini so to have stereo sound when playing music. As with anything Apple, easy set up, and the sound is excellent.

I love it, it is surving its purpose! I can command and it happens.

Long story short: you need to be in the Apple ecosystem (including Apple Music) to experience HomePod as intended. Looks/build quality: deceivingly compact, but still feels heavy/solid and very well built as you’d expect from Apple. Sound: While I won’t use the term “audiophile” I certainly enjoy music and technology and my headphone setup runs ~$8,500, so sound quality is important to me. The HomePod is easily the best sound I’ve heard from a single speaker this compact. It is hi-fi? Of course not, it’s a single speaker that’s <7” tall. It has a fun sound signature with impressive bass for such a small form factor. Don’t expect something you’re going to do critical listening on and you’ll be fine. Usage/functionality: I use it in a small home office to have some background music. For this purpose it’s been perfect. I am entrenched in the Apple ecosystem and everything works flawlessly together as you’d expect. I did sign up for Apple Music to use with the HomePod and it has worked great. I am not a big Siri user to begin with, so her current limitations don’t bug me at the present time. Voice activation to manage Apple Music, set timers and reminders, etc is perfectly fine for me. When I’m in the office I’m sitting in front of the computer and don’t need more. I only have a couple of connected devices (video doorbell and a smart lock), so using it as a hub isn’t a major concern for me. The voice detection is amazing. HomePod can hear me from another room in the house. Comparisons: I do have two Echo Dots, one with a Vaux speaker and one with a mokcao power+. The HomePod easily stomps these in terms of sound and build quality, but it should given it’s more than 3x the price. In terms of Siri vs Alexa, they both have their pros and cons. For me it’s basically a wash as far as virtual assistants. Summary: This is an easy recommendation if you’re an iDevice user and an Apple Music subscriber. Outside of that, the cost and walled garden Are barriers to entry.

Great sound. Very affordable price given it’s an Apple product.

The homepod mini is fantastic if you're using apple's homekit as a home automation system. The sound is better than competitors in my opinion and has temperature and humidity sensors built in. The sound is clear and crisp when playing music and siri has improved a lot.

Excellent mini speaker! Works as ape siri instructions, connect to your Home app and automate smart stuff! Can do intercom in multiple minis and play music connects all speakers in home.

I bought one for my wife directly from Apple as a Christmas gift since she's heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem. She has a Mac, 3 iPads, an iPhone, and 2 iPods. She was very pleased with the functionality and sound of the HomePod mini, and its integration with other Apple devices. So I bought her another one today at Best Buy for a stereo effect. While they're no match for my 6-speaker system in the family room or my basement mega system, soundwise, I found the quality to be very good for speakers of their size. No buyer's remorse here, folks! Yes, Siri can be kind of ditzy at times, and it would have been great(!) if they supported Dolby Atmos. But it's rare to find any Apple product at this price point, so I'm happy for what they do.

We already had two HomePods in our home, but we decided to get a HomePod mini, as well. The overall value is excellent. While it may not have the exact same audio quality as the full sized HomePod (especially in bass tones -- we're sound/audio nerds!), the mini sounds far better than many of the similar sized "smart speakers" out there from other makers. If you own another Apple product, but haven't bought a HomePod, getting a mini would be a great introduction. The additional features beyond just playing music are very helpful, and Apple seems to be continuing to improve on them. Being able to set a quick timer, or a reminder (it recognizes who is speaking and ads to the correct person's reminders), or ask a question are all great to have handy.

The quality works great works right at the box. Easy to set up with new iPhone works great with Apple Music.

I have been a lover of Apple products for years. This is another amazing product by Apple. The speaker has awesome sound and packs a huge punch for it's small size. It connects to any other Apple product with ease.

Great sound for playing music but not very good for using it for surround around sound for TV. If you don’t have a sound bar, this is much better than having only TV speaker. Great stereo amongst two devices, however not as good as the larger version of this product.

Very good sound for background music, just don’t expect movie theater volume and clarity. Plays loud and clear for its size. I have a pair set up as stereo in my bedroom. The upper bass is a little to emphasized and the treble falls off a little more than I like but overall I am impressed.

love the loud sound in a small package, so many customization features and buying multiple ones make it easy to flow from room to room. Just know its not portable!

To get this out of the way upfront, I am in the Apple ecosystem. I have iPads, iPhones, and MacBook Pros and like the way they work together. In its current form, this is not a product for everyone. I would think it would be practically unusable if you weren’t at least partially in Apple’s ecosystem. If you want the device to stream music from an internet source, you need to have an Apple Music subscription. I don’t, but I have iTunes Match so this device can stream my music from the cloud. Unlike other devices, like my Echo, it doesn’t support Pandora, Spotify, etc at this time. You can use AirPlay and send these sources to your HomePod from your phone, iPad, MacBook, but not without. The sound quality is very good for its size. It is able to fill the room, sounds clear and crisp, with a good overall sound. Some reviews complain about too much bass. I can see this being true, as it does seem to emphasize bass a little bit. I haven’t noticed it to be a problem in the genres I listen to (Country and Classic Rock primarily). As far as a smart speaker, it does a great job of hearing your spoken commands. I think it exceeds the competition here. Siri almost never miss hears me or ignores me. I can’t say the same for Alexa. Siri has gotten a lot better since this was released. There are still some things she ‘can’t do on this HomePod’ but overall is pretty good. I have to take away one star because of one problem. Being in the Apple ecosystem, I wanted to have Siri add things to my grocery list, reminders, send texts, etc, and I get told the iPhone that was used to setup HomePod must be on the same Wi-Fi network much too often when it is sitting right next to me. I do think it is a 4 star product with the other limitations mentioned above because it generally does everything it promises to do very well. If you are unaware of the limitations, you may be disappointed. Another thing to consider is the color. I went with the black because the white was dirty immediately after being taken out of the box.
