Customer Ratings & Reviews

These are a great addition to your home if you are in the apple ecosystem. I have two and use them to control all my homekit device, the ease of asking Siri to turn light on or off or play music throughout the house.

works great, very load for a small little thing. works great with apple’s ecosystem

We had the google pods and let me tell you, these are an upgrade especially if you have iPhones

I have a house full of Echo devices, and I'm beginning to replace them with these Apple HomePods. Since we have many iPhone, iPads, and Apple TVs in the house, it just makes it easier and better to have a HomePod system which easily works with everything else. The sound on these is great, and I really do like the minimal style of them. Definitely going to being picking up more of these.

I was a little skeptical purchasing the Mini because the regular HomePod did have its own problems, but also the fact that the Mini has no real subwoofer. However, this speaker sounds AMAZING and I’m really happy I made the decision to purchase it. Siri may still have lot of room for improvement compared to Google and Alexa, but if you’re in the Apple ecosystem, there’s really no better alternative. Makes a great gift for yourself or others that you care for.

Excellent! Great quality sound. It also looks great and fits right in with any decor.

Great product. Works well with other Apple devices. Sound is good. Heavy bass but not enough highs. Recommend buying 2 in order to get the stereo sound.

A cinch to set up. Looks great. Sounds good for the size. Can fit anywhere. SIRI is getting better every day.

We purchased a pair of these to use as small surround sound speakers for our bedroom, they were easily hidden and have good sound

Easy setup and works very similar to the larger homepod. You love the sound quality from small to medium sized rooms.

Apple always shines with their unbeatable integration amongst their products. This is a great first step if you’re looking to automate your home and already have or plan to have apple products. It seamlessly works with all your devices out of the box and is super easy to set up new HomeKit compatible products.

Amazing sound quality and works flawlessly. Works with all of our Apple devices.

A great home companion for your apple devices. Easy to setup. Great sound in any room. And even better price point.

What a wonderful purchase. Small in size with profound sound and clarity. Siri even here’s you when you whisper

Dang! Asked Best Buy folks quite a few questions before buying this, and some of what I said should have made it kind of apparent that I probably didn’t have Wi-Fi out here in the boonies. So, bought it and tried setting up for quite a while before finding out the problem: Need actual Wi-Fi and “Personal Hotspot” won’t cut it! From what I can tell, based on sounds during attempted setup, the bass is rather impressive for such a small speaker. Think I would have loved it but, sadly, I ended up returning it. Didn’t give a really low score because it wasn’t the product’s fault. :-(

Love the sound and the size is perfect to place anywhere in your home!

Sound great when paired, nice for a cheap hub, intercom is great when calling for the kids

It was the perfect gift for our daughter. She was looking to replace her old one and loved that it was orange, her favorite color.

First and foremost, I love the sound that comes from my HomePod. I also have an Echo 1, an Echo 2, an Echo Show, an Echo Dot and two Sonos Play:1 speakers. The HomePod sounds much better than any of the Echo Devices. The HomePod has very solid bass and very clear highs. Midrange is a little lacking though. The Echos sound flat and a little muddy in comparison. Compared to the Play:1, The HomePod has slightly stronger bass and slightly clearer highs. Where the Play:1 has an advantage is midrange. The sound from the Sonos is a little fuller overall but also a slightly muddier. The thing I like most about the Echo devices is their ability to play so many stations with voice commands. iHeartRadio and Radio.com are 2 of my favorite providers. I can play them on the HomePod but only thru my iPhone or iPad. I cannot ask for them with my voice. If I could, I would use the HomePod much more often. I can only use Apple Music with the HomePod using my voice. This is great if I know exactly the song and artist I'm looking for. However, the Apple Music playlists are not as good as the stations on iHeartRadio and I can't ask for local sports radio. I can only get ESPN radio using Siri. So far, my Play:1 speakers only work thru the Sonos app for me. I should be able to send music to them with an Echo but there is some sort of conflict on my network preventing them from working properly. If I can get this straightened out, I will stream more often to them. Overall I would recommend the HomePod to people that use the Apple ecosystem. Especially if you love Apple Music. Right now, I'm setting up my own apple Music Playlists. Once I do that, I will likely use the HomePod more. If I could use my HomePod like my Echo devices, I would give it 5 stars all day. But because Siri is so lacking in smarts, I deducted a star. Others might deduct more but I do love the sound...

First of all to all it’s so sad that most people don’t appreciate good sound quality when I see reviews comparing these speakers to Amazon Echo or Google Home (except the Google Max) it makes me cringe, I can’t even sample a song A song in any those it’s comparing apples and oranges I can’t believe people listen to music in those things... I know cause I also have the Google Home. Now these: single or stereo create IMHO the best soundstage of any bookshelf speaker “smart or not “ under $500. Even at $350 ea ($700 pair) you won’t find anything better or even close for under $1000 and most likely you will have to add a subwoofer just to replicate the bass tonality these HomePod are capable of producing. I bought a pair on sale for $200 ea ($400 pair) To me that was a steal, a no brainer. And yes I’m aware of the lack of Bluetooth accessibility and the only Apple Music could be play using Siri, but you could AirPlay anything else and there’s no difference in sound quality in fact that’s the way I usually use these. My advice if you’re inclined to buy these and you see them on sale for less than retail just snatch them you won’t regret it ;)
