Good item but over price after sale price still high

I'm always amazed how good these sound for how small they are, especially when playing music at a louder volume. We use them for home automation commands, kitchen timers, playing the news and music, and asking Siri questions. You can also make phone calls with them if you have an iPhone

The HomePod mini really surprised me with how rich and full the sound is for such a compact speaker. It’s perfect for smaller rooms, and it fills the space with clear audio and solid bass. Setup with the iPhone was seamless, and Siri integration works great for controlling music, smart home devices, and getting quick info. The design is sleek and blends in nicely with any decor. Great value for the price.

This speaker quit working after less two years of use. Sparks fly out of any outlet I try to plug it into. Potential fire hazard. Apple wanted $300 plus to fix it when you can buy a new one for $250 or less all day long.

It was an open box with no directions nothing I goggled tried multiple devices never could get it to activate I sent it back still waiting on my refund wish I hadn’t wasted my time. I usually love Apple products but not this one

It’s ok but I’m dissapointed in it needs more work

I have purchased 2 of these speakers, and the do not respond. If they do respond when saying “Hey Siri”, it is after the 10th time. I have performed a factory reset, and the same issues persist. What a waste of $700 for 2- speakers.

I love apple product but this aint it way to expensive for what it does the speaker is not good at all not loud nothing about this product blows me away. i would stay away and go in a different route.

I bought this thinking I could use it to get recipes and everything but it didn't meet my expectations. You ask it something and all it tells you is that it can't help you. And it only plays Apple music which you have to buy

Everything I expected and more… price was good quality was good

Received a damaged product and Best Buy would not exchange it bc I was at the 17 day after purchase mark. I was referred to Apple for a repair. I spent hundreds of dollars to receive a new product that has to be refurbished.

Just bought this and I loss the bass. I’m very upset since this was over $300. Some are claiming it’s a hardware issue but it seems like an software issue. How can I return this??

The sound is not as expected it is very heavy and uses a very thick cable as the only option. so many years of technology and Apple has not created a wireless speaker. Decided for Bose.

Great replacement for the Bluetooth speaker I had been using in the kitchen. We have a family Apple Music subscription, and the HomePod is clearly designed to deliver that content in a beautiful, fantastic sounding package. It’s so easy to use the device really just gets out of the way and disappears while filling the room with sound. Setup took 30 seconds at best (after updating my phone to the latest version of iOS which took a few minutes). All in all super happy with the purchase. It’s pretty amazing that Siri can perfectly understand everything we say, considering the differences in speech between my youngest children which are in elementary school, and myself and my wife. Kudos to Apple on designing a great product.

I gave this 4 stars because it is great, but pricey and has room to get a little more features of what Siri can do after new updates come. It is the BEST speaker option if you are an Apple Music User. I use Apple Music and have iPhones/iPads, etc. But...when I tested this, I fully expected to stick with my Sonos units even though they aren't super easy for my Apple Music. Well...I opened this Home Pod up, it immediately connected, and I have to say...I love it! I walk into my room and say "Siri, play xxxxxx station" - and it does. There is no weird delays and responses, just music coming on immediately. I even ask it the weather in the morning. I just love that I am not tied to my phone or an app. I just walk in and out of the room and tell Siri what to do LOL and she does it! I actually had a Sonos with Alexa out and this speaker, side by side. Music sounds similar but Home Pod is a little better and ruminates better...and it automatically calibrated for room instead of me having to manually do the setup with Sonos. My 9 year old daughter was testing both and said "Mom, I like talking to Siri better." And she was spot on. Seriously - the biggest advantage over Sonos to me is the way you communicate with Siri. It's smoother, easier, and then, it works perfectly with Apple Music. No Siri is not a genius yet and doesn't tell jokes. But for what she is supposed to do right now at this stage in the game, its great. So...hate to say you need to spend the money, but to me this is the best choice if you use Apple Music, and I'm so happy I have it. Now I want another one for another room....gotta save for that!

Unfortunately at 13 months this speaker lost all bass and sounds absolutely terrible now. Apple won't service it and wants $279 to replace it. It's basically useless now, Very disappointed.

I love the HomePod mini. While Siri is not the most intelligent smart home AI, it is such a perfect speaker for anyone with an iPhone or Apple ecosystem. Siri will read your texts, control your smart home, find your iPhone, and play your favorite songs with Apple Music. For $100, it’s a perfect gift for any occasion!! Handoff is an incredible feature for instant audio transfer, and of course the sound is outstanding.

I ordered a new HomePod but they sent me a used opened box and charged me the full price. Best Buy is a master at bait and switch. They should follow Circuit City’s lead.

Works perfectly with your Apple devices and has a great sound for a small and inexpensive item.

Can’t get this to play books or apps off my iPhone. Wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. Need to return and the Best Buy it was purchased at was mysteriously closed.
