Customer Ratings & Reviews

These work exactly as expected and are perfect for people in the Apple ecosystem. Would probably have purchased the black ones if they were available when I bought them.

The quality of these speakers outshines most others. The home automation ecosystem has been lacking due to this being the only option up until late 2020. Siri, despite what haters may claim, works just as well as the multitude of Alexas we have around the house. The Homepods definitely take the cake on sound quality, even by comparison to Amazon’s highest end Echo Studio and Sub combo. It is on par with the more expensive Sonos units; but you can get HomePods for $199 if you catch them on sale and, thus, this makes them a better value than compatible Sonos. Sonos has the benefit of a large ecosystem full of a myriad of options. The call quality on these is superb, second to know, it may even be their best feature. People on the other end are completely unaware that I’m not talking on my phone. I’ve also been on the other end of these calls and can attest to this observation. It is simply astounding how well they isolate your voice. This definitely surpasses Alexa, Google, and even similarly priced Sonos units. It also integrates much better with our home automation on a grand scale than our Alexa units; working with more lights and smart home devices overall. We just simply have more Alexas due to cost. We use the pair of HomePods exclusively for music and phone calls due to this fact. However, I’m only rating this as 5 stars with the knowledge that the ecosystem is FINALLY expanding with the Mini; if not for that, this would probably get 4, maybe even 3, stars. Apple simply waited too long to break out of this single-unit shell.

Excellent speaker but the connectivity is complicated, it took a long time to figure out how to connect it each time we need to use it and turning it on and off, although you just tap it sometimes it don’t work

I do love this speaker. I purchased an open box so I paid a little bit less. The sound is very good comparing to the Echo Premium sound and the google nest mini. I have stereo pairs of all three but decided to sell the Echo when I got the HomePod minis. I have noticed a lag when pairing with Apple TV. I have used the calibration tool more than once. Maybe when apple allows them as default tv speakers? But they are very cool! I love the integration with my phone and watch. I am especially happy with this purchase since apple began supporting lossless quality Apple Music streaming.

Amazing sound quality for such a small speaker. Integrates great with apple products too.

I have a pair of these in one room and a pair of Home Pods in our family room. Very good sound for a small speaker. Nice that you can pair two of them for stereo. Also nice that you can use them as a sound source for Apple TV 4K, (not sure if it works the same way with a standard Apple TV). That said, if your looking for excellence with an Apple speaker pair, better to splurge for the Home Pod. The Home Pods are a big step up from the Home Pod mini. But you’ll pay for it. When looking for smart speakers and smart home devices, privacy should be a consideration. Compare Apple privacy with other companies smart device agreements.

Heavenly. What else can I say? We have two set up and fall asleep to beautiful sounds. Works seamlessly with Apple devices.Best purchase. Love love it

I cannot believe that this product was open box this is a perfect perfect HomePod and I am impressed! it works exactly as it is supposed to and it is covered by AppleCare what more could you expect! Best Buy for the win!

Great speaker for the size! It was my second one so I could pair them and works better then my bose speaker

Overall, I really like the HomePod mini. The sound quality is great, and the Siri functions work seamlessly. The only reason I'm giving the product 4 stars is due to the inconsistent handoff from my iPhone to the HomePod.

The HomePod by far is the best sounding smart speaker you can buy on the market. However, due to the fact many manufacturers don’t support Apple HomeKit, Siri falls behind in terms of overall functionality. But the main highlight of the HomePod is the sound. Though the sound is room filling, it is best when it is stereo paired, which dramatically changes the entire listening experience. Also, if you have 2 HomePods and an Apple TV 4K, you can use HomePods for Dolby Atmos sound which is amazing. Overall, it’s a really good sounding speaker and has tons of bass, yet somehow remains balanced, presumably due to the fact there is a dedicated sub component within the HomePod which is about 4”. The audio is very clear, and the HomePod gets very loud. In my experience, I would recommend putting the HomePod about 5-7 inches away from a wall, this will give the HomePod better functionality in terms of its sound beaming capabilities. it makes a huge difference, it’s just the basic physics of sound. One thing that is important to note is that this device is for people who are heavily invested into the Apple EcoSystem, and are subscribers of Apple Music, because yes they do have 3rd party music support from platforms such as Spotify and Pandora, however the functionality is not ideal due to it still being implemented and developed. Also this is not a Bluetooth speaker and is only AirPlay compatible, meaning you need an Apple device to stream to it, if you aren’t using Siri on the HomePod to ask it play music.

Wow purchased this for my wife and it has the best sound quality of any small form factor speaker I've ever had.

Quality sound in a small package. Get two and play in stereo. Siri still hasn't got the smarts of the competition, but she's getting better. Would buy again.

I love this little guy. It sounds great, fast, responsive. Looks good on a table or shelf. Comes attached to a nice braided cable and includes the 20w charger.

Wanted one because of the apple ecosystem but I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality for this size and this price. I'll be getting another one to pair.

The sound quality is great and great at running automations

Perfect size and shape for small spaced areas. Sound is loud enough but not too much where it takes away from the quality of the sound.

If you have a lot of Apple products, and even more HomeKit enabled smart devices, I would reccomend getting this for every single room in your home. HomeKit doesn’t have the best device compatibility, but when you have devices that do work with it, it performs amazingly. Even if you dont have smart home devices, I would 1000% reccoment getting this and an Apple Music subscription. It sounds absolutely amazing and is even better at maximum volume.

Good sound. Super cute color. Looks good in my office. Going to get a couple more to set up an intercom.

Excellent sound quality for the price and size. I got this as a Christmas present for my roomate. He’s loved it so far and it’s so loud for the size, bass is somewhat lacking but that’s to be expected for something this size.
