Customer Ratings & Reviews

Sound quality was better than I expected. And firmware updates over the last couple of years have solve small issues I've had. Like when Siri voice was not loud enough, even after setting up as such. Also, if you're putting together a robust, thread smart home setup with Apple's HomeKit, I think its essential to have 1 or 2 of these around the house.

Good product for those using HomeKit and Siri. Useful to add Siri capabilities to remote areas of the home, and thread is the wave of the future in smart homes. As a speaker it is probably as good as if not better then comparably priced smart speakers, however the sounds pales in comparison to original HomePod. Not really a fair comparison. I wish Apple hadn’t discontinued the original HomePods.

I grabbed two of these on sale, but only used one initially, primarily for music. To that end, it banged, great sound. I only recently paired the second one with the first recently, but, no surprise, bangs even nicer in stereo. The limitations to connecting non-apple products is a major drawback, but I use mostly apple products, so limits the negative for me.

Trying to set up a small home theater in basement on the Cheap with Apple TV so bought one of these to see how it sounded. Pretty good so will add another for stereo/surround sound.

Whether coupled with Siri & Apple Music (and other Home Pods), or used to enhance you tv speakers, this is a magical devise! Surprisingly good, distortion free sound for such a small wonder!

Set-up for multiple devices wasn't simple. Quality sound and great volume for the price.

It’s good but only if we’re wireless. They could’ve done better but overall sounds great

Sound quality for size is incredible and makes a good affordable Apple Hub for smart home devices to be able to setup automation. It was probably one of the most difficult apple devices to get integrated into the ecosystem though had to reset and try setting up multiple times before it finally worked properly. That is probably my only gripe in comparison to how easy most apple devices are to setup.

This speaker is awesome as a bedside speaker. I use it to set alarms to wake up and sometimes to call family when I am relaxed in my room. Sometimes it doesn't pick up the phone calls that I try to transfer, but I'm sure that it can be ironed out with a software update.

The HomePod was pricey at $350, but is a great bargain at $250. I bought it because the sound is awesome–lightyears ahead of other smart speakers. It streams Apple Music, web radio, and even your local stations. It has a reputation for not being as "smart" as Alexa or others, but that changing. And they are great integrated features that I didn't realize, like making speaker phone calls. The setup couldn't be easier. If you have an iPhone or iPad, you put them close, confirm you want to set up HomePod, and that's it!. It automatically configures it for your network settings, Apple ID, iTunes subscriptions, everything. And, if you're looking to add other smart-home devices, it can serve as your base station to connect and control your lights, doorbells, temp settings, whatever. I definitely got more than I bargained for.

Excellent sound from such a small speaker. The only downside is that it is a wired speaker. No snap, crackling or popping noise like in some Bluetooth Speaker. It works wonderful for our use.

A humble little device that's made a big difference to our enjoyment of music and our everyday lives. Asking for NPR, or the weather forecast, or some bossa nova, or a song I remember a few lyrics from; it's all just a "hey, Siri" away. A great Valentine's Day gift!

Perfect for everyday life and tasks, from listening to music while cooking or cleaning to setting reminders and notes.

A great companion mini speaker for the kitchen. It syncs well with previously purchased full-size HomePods and is easy to control from Apple devices. The mini sounds great with multiple genres and for background music. It also sounds good at higher volumes but doesn’t have as much bass the regular HomePods.

I can’t really post a Solid review on this item ‘ but when I did hear it play ‘ it was medium loud , not the loudest , and it takes time to get adjusted to it , I did like the fact it responds like an AI , I’ll post more when I spend a weekend alone with it ,

In general this has been a good purchase to replace an under-the-shelf radio/CD DVD player. If my iPhone is open, often the commands will be executed on the phone rather than on the HomePod. And you need to phrase your commands precisely. It took me 2 days to figure out how to get Siri to play Minnesota Public Radio.

As always apple products just work. For the size the sound is great. A little bass heavy for my taste, but works great for my use case.

It's a cute mini homepod. Sometimes it doesn't connect to devices and Siri starts randomly talking/turns on when no one said a command. It's not that loud but if you need a traveling speaker, it will do the job.

This speaker has been a great addition to my wireless home. I find myself using it daily and love being anle to tell Siri to turn the lights off or play a specific artist. Setup was super easy too.

This was a gift for my daughter-in-law who looked forward to listening to her own music choices wherever she was. She says she loves it and can’t believe that such great sound comes from this small, portable device.
