Customer Ratings & Reviews

We love our HomePod Minis. We have two old large HomePods, but they don’t work with a lot our smart devices. I originally bought one to sync with our smart doorlock and thermostat in our office because they were so far away from our Apple TV. We would loose the signal to our devices. But both the wife and i loved the sound so much, we decided to buy another to replace our Sonos 1’s in the office. The next two are now in our garage and once again replacing the Sonos 1’s because of their size and because they help sync our smart garage door and smart deadbolt with our HomeKit system. Now are they truly better than our old Sonos 1’s, not in sound quality. But HomePod Minis are very close, yet it is their size, smarts and connectivity is the big reason we replaced our Sonos 1’s.

Initially I wasn't sure about purchasing this speaker, as it is a first generation product. I bought is as an open box in excellent condition and it has blown me away ever since setting it up. I activated my 3 month trial of Apple Music, as I had previously used Spotify everyday, I have to say that I love using Apple Music. The sound of this speaker, which I set up in my living room is incredible. It is loud and clear. The depth and richness of the music produced is amazing. In comparison to my Sony smart speaker, I can really feel and hear the bass in my music. I am hoping for bluetooth connectivity in the future, but that being said, it works seamlessly with all of my apple products. I connected it to my apple iMac as well and have not used my regular speakers since. If you can find it on sale or purchase as an open box it is a great buy! I also enjoy casting my playlists on You Tube to it. Enjoy!

Great sound, easy to set up, works great...Great sound

Works great no issues. The sound quality is amazing. The alarm clock feature is very useful.

This is the perfect accompaniment to a subscription to Apple Music (a free 3-month trial comes with purchase if you aren’t). Once the initial setup is completed, just ask Siri to play a song, album or playlist and boom! You’re getting good sound with rich bass. Volume can be controlled with voice commands, or the virtual buttons on top of the unit. Things get more complicated if you’re not an Apple Music subscriber. If you have an iPhone, all you need to do is start your music playing, and tap your phone to the top of the unit and your music is automagically transferred to the HomePod via Airplay. Any AirPlay enabled device should be able to stream to HomePod, so if you have an AppleTV, you can stream audio with a couple of taps. You can link two HomePods together for stereo sound. An update coming in Fall of 2020 promises better integration with third-party music services like Spotify. If you’re not in the Apple ecosystem, there are better, cheaper speaker systems with equal sound quality and more flexibility (like Sonos).

Synchronizes well with my smart home devices. Sound is sufficient for a small bedroom. The sound profile obviously doesn’t match up with even a small portable JBL Flip 6 but that’s not what its intended use is. Does it all as expected.

I switched my entire house full of Echo devices over to Apple's Homekit. Great sound that is true to the music and not just loud and inaccurate as Echo's seem to do. Mainly after returning to the iPhone and it's iOs hemisphere it's just safer in my opinion. I do not trust Amazon any longer after silencing conservative voices.

We are happy with the look, sound price and ease of use.

I think it sounds great, my issues with the HomePod are: 1.) It has Bluetooth built in but no way to directly connect a device outside of airplay. 2.) If there are multiple users switching isn’t always seamless, at times it wouldn’t even show up as a device to stream to. 3.) It’s authorized under the person who sets up MyHome. I bought this for my girlfriend mostly but because I am the one who set up the HomeKit appliances (Lights, thermostat etc) it has to go under my home account or I’d have to reset everything under a new home account. Even though both users are set as administrators, it’s my phones messages who Siri will read. 4.) Siri still needs more features, she’s decent at what she can do but I’ve seen better utility with Alexa, and this is coming from an avid Apple user. Outside of those issues. The sound is great and having a voice assistant to set timers and dim the lights is nice. If you have the money it’s a o-k purchase, if you’re just wanting a wireless speaker that can use Siri, well, Siri is still on your phone and there are other very nice Bluetooth speakers out there.

It makes the sounds and does it well. I was very surprised with how much bass and just how loud this thing actually is. Works well for my needs. I don’t use the smart features all that much but the few I have used work well.

Small with a big sound! Easy setup and very intuitive!

The minis are a great little iPod to have. They are small, but big enough that they feel nice to hold in your hand. They have excellent sound quality imo (I have a mini myself and the mini was the first iPod I was ever exposed to and grew up with) and they come in really nice colours.

It is an Apple product so it just works, this makes the 5 one we have purchased. The product works as expected and shopping with the Best Buy app made the purchase easy and simple.

Im slowly buying one for every room in the house. Great product and of course just like all Apple products works smoothly.

This is perfect for bedrooms. Perfect sound and bass!

Easy to connect. Good sound and range. Pair two of them

Awesome little speaker!! Super loud!!! Very compact.

My fiancé got a bunch of these for the house but I really wanted one for my office and I noticed this one seemed newer and nicer than the others and was easy to set up I recommend these for a really cool speaker setup that’s pretty affordable and easy to add on over time

Easy to set up and use. Sounds amazing for its size.

The sound on this Bluetooth is so unreal. I am a person who loves the heat the bass in music because of my hearing loss. I can truly say this Bluetooth speaker is GREAT but also the ease of Siri makes it even better!
