Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased for my office and ended up buying 3 more for around the house. Will be purchasing for my Daughter for college.

Seamlessly joined my home network. Works with Apple Music and Adagio. Sound is excellent especially considering its size.

Really nice sound in a small item. Place this in my living room and can hear it from the back room

This is my second HomePod ... I use it for music and merge them together and connect them to my AppleTV in the master bedroom. Works great most of the time however Apple needs to work on a easier way to keep them connected without always going to the settings in the Apple TV. Super simple to connect as all Apple products are. It was on sale and I should have bought more.

Great sound in a small package, not very bass heavy - but balanced!

Easy to set up, honestly wish it was set up different more parent friendly. Hopefully wish later on they add more features

Its a good speaker but not as loud as I thought. It does look good on my desk though

Bought this open box and it seems to work like it’s supposed to. Guess I was expecting more of an Alexa experience but as far as sound quality it’s definitely worth the money

Fantastic sound from a speaker the size of a baseball. Controls several items in the house with the correct wireless devices.....

Exceeds my expectations and excellent superb item.

Second one I bought! Trying to have them in every room soon. Audio is great for such a small speaker it’s actually loud.

Best Buy had it in stock when Apple did not. HomePod mini an excellent smart speaker in the Apple eco-system. Will buy another.

I love the quality of the sound and it runs great with my iPhone. I’m already debating on but the big one for my living room.

Love this little speaker. great sound with such a little speaker. great for the bathroom. super easy set up and moves so easily

Awesome device. Really enjoy the sound and the flexibility of this device.

Good sound for size and price. Smart home potential is good, but Siri is still lacking in comparison to google and Amazon.

Pros: - Sound quality is great; far superior to my existing Echo. - Product feels high quality, all the way down to the fabric textured power cable. I’d have been upset if this came with the generic Apple plastic white cable that inevitably gets dingy/yellow and begins to fray. - You can use other music services outside of Apple Music (via AirPlay), just not natively. I’d prefer natively, but listing this as a pro because I have seen some misleading posts saying services like Spotify cannot be used at all. That is incorrect. Cons (most regard it severely lacking as a smart speaker): - Cannot set multiple timers. Especially when cooking, I’ll often have multiple timers going on my Echo. - Inability to recognize different people. This one is especially annoying if you want to be able to receive/send calls or texts through the HomePod. The speaker is linked to my phone. Even if I’m not around, anyone with access to the speaker can send or receive messages from me (if the option is enabled), despite the fact they are not me. My options are to either disable the feature entirely, or be aware that anyone (friend or family) who is near the HomePod, would have unfettered access to my messages/calls. - Siri in general is lacking. For instance, if I ask Siri if it is going to rain, all I get is a “yes” or a “no”. If I ask Alexa the same thing, I get a percentage chance of rain and expected amounts. Several other instances, but just one example. - No ability to use other music services (i.e. Spotify, Tidal, etc.) natively with the device. As listed above, it is doable through AirPlay, but this comes at the cost of more in depth voice commands. - Was foolishly hoping the Nest would become HomeKit compatible since Apple made HomeKit authorization digital now (no longer requires physical hardware). That is not the case. Another thing to keep in mind, Apple’s control over smart home items is limited to HomeKit devices. More may come soon with recent changes to HomeKit, but if you have anything from Google (like the Nest) don’t get your hopes up and factor into your purchase decision. Conclusion: Overall, the speaker is great, for a speaker. As an introduction to a smart speaker? Not so much. I would only recommend this (currently) to users who are subscribers to Apple Music, primarily use Apple mobile devices, and who have HomeKit enabled devices. Many of my complaints can be resolved via over the air software updates. However, I’d say don’t buy and wait for that to happen, wait for that to happen and THEN buy. Apple is far less likely to address these complaints if they get solid sales of the device out the door.

Beat bang for the buck. Great audio and SiRi is so much better. Would recommend to any smart home. We have 3 of these.

It’s Great, just like all Apple products! Compact, but packed with quality sound in a small package!

Good volume and good quality sound definitely recommend
