Love the sound from it, but it was not cheap and it would seem, that like Beats earphones, there is no longevity in this product.

So I bought this speaker as being an Apple Fan but honestly it is the worst! We need a smart speaker not just a good sounding speaker. There are many speakers in market you can get play good audio but for that I have my stereo system. This speaker is merely a speaker, siri is so bad in this I dont know why. Returning it soon. Don't see any value for 349 price. Suggestions: Apple please make detachable power cord next time. Open bluetooth restriction so all devices could connect. (It is now has bluetooth 5.0 but works with apple devices only lol) your product will sell more if you open bluetooth for all devices. Put a 5000 Mah Battery to make it portable use. It will sell like hot cake (no one has done it yet not even google)

I purchased the Homepod Mini to be a "distance" speaker for our home audio system. When cooking in the kitchen, it can be difficult to hear the TV without really turning up the volume on the TV and making it uncomfortable for those near the TV. With Apple TV, you can simultaneously broadcast through the HDMI cable and Airplay to any Airplay 2 compatible speaker. The Airpod Mini is among the lowest cost Airplay 2 speakers (along with Ikea). Regardless, the sound is actually very good for a speaker this size. It's easy to set up with an iPhone. Moreover, this operates on 5GHZ frequency, so the microwave will not interfere with sound quality (we have an old yamaha that runs on 2.4 GHZ that would drop once the microwave turned on).

Sound is good but not what everyone seems to rave about. I have other speakers that kick her butt. Yes her. Siri is the center of this mess. She can pause music and I like that about her but ask her something "Siri"ous and forget about it.

This product disappointed as it was not user friendly and constantly disconnected. Would recommend Apple stay away from bluetooth speakers.

Im an all-apple guy and assumed the wifi connection, and quality of sound would be like other products I have come to know by apple. I found actually that neither were too hot. Having Bose external speakers there is just no comparison and for what I purchased the sound quality to me just wasn't there. I couldn't bypass my Denon receiver (as I have a 5.1 with five hooked up speakers) although Apple assured me it would hook into my apple tv (incorrect). Siri would hear the tv and go off so I unplugged it, boxed it up and exchanged it for another Bose!

alexa, even the cheap pod is better than this. way overpriced and less smart than Alexa. I had hoped for much more. I probably should just return it.

The sound was okay but unfortunately this is one of those times that Apple doesn’t want to play in the sand box with other. Can’t stream Spotify and you’re better off getting a speaker that works across many platforms.

I have about 20 smart speakers around my home from Amazon Echos, Google Homes to Sonos. This was by far the most expensive. It was also the most buggy, often ignoring the alarms I set leading me to oversleep. And now, after only 2 years of use, the speaker is completely non-functional, which makes it the first and only of all my smart speakers to have broken down under normal use. Hugely disappointing product offering from Apple.

I hope Apple does an update soon on the iPod! I'd like to play my music on the iPod an Iit won't allow me to do it.. Asked at Apple stores and I was told it can't be done. Waste of money, gave it away.........

Not a fan. I am all in with Apple products and music, but this device lacks what and amp and bookshelf speakers can deliver. Also the interface on the iPhone is quirky.

Too bad this HomePod sounds awesome because this has very limited functionality. Not even close to what any amazon alexa piece can do. I would not buy this ever again

Easy to pair with my iPhone. However, it keeps on unable finding my Playlist. Searching internet does not work either. Hope the speaker is on rechargeable battery instead of hard wired.

The HomePod is comparable with the Sonos speakers in sound quality. However it lacks most of the capabilities. Not the high end speaker some claim it would be.

Wasn’t that great of a smart speaker because Siri can’t hear you that good and doesn’t understand what your saying and the speaker can’t handle high pitched sounds so I brought the speaker back to the store.

Returned for the google max assistant due to not being able to support our questions. The google max is much smarter and the sound is outstanding. Big Apple fan and I was sad to have to bring it back.

Honestly I could’ve stayed with beatpills, keeps disconnecting from wifi and does not recognise Apple Music library

Bought this as my kids are Apple fanatics set it up with WeMo switches that I already had set up but had to spend another $40 for WeMo bridge so my kids can ask Siri to turn on and off lights

I bought one that the box was already open supposedly in excellent condition. I also bought a two year warranty from Apple. Could never connect. I wanted to buy a new one, But they returned to their original price and it was too much for me. It was easy for the employee to return the money instead of sending me to Apple to check that they will do it because he had bought guarantees.

Not worth it For the price of this you could get so many other Bluetooth speakers that are better and are much cheaper.
