Customer Ratings & Reviews

Let me put this in perspective, I own 4 Amazon Echos of all styles, I owned the Google Home (horrible product) and I own a complete Sonos system including Playbar and Play Ones and Sub. This device was not meant right now to be just a smart speaker but in my mind, a smart speaker/solid all in one speaker. I am a member of Apple Music and this device fits nicely into the Apple echo-sphere nicely playing nice with Apple TV, iPhone and even Mac. The device is so easy to set up much like all Apple products and unlike Echo, I am not fighting with it to play certain songs or search out my playlists etc. I have not tried it with home devices, however thats why I have Echo to function with those devices. This device looks stylish on the counter and the sound is unbelievable and it tunes automatically to the location you place it without you even noticing. Sorry Sonos One but it actually sounds better than a stand alone Play One and even though it is pricier, I can imagine Apple has lots of plans for this device down the road. I am actually enjoying listening to the millions of songs offered in Apple Music which is much better than Amazon Music. Siri is not great yet but I feel in time there will be improvements as with any Apple product.

The HomePod is incredible! The audio quality is exceptionally good, and while it may be the best in terms of smart speakers some competitors don't fall far behind. Talking hardware, the HomePod comes out on top once again. The minimalistic design and styling help the HomePod blend into any setting. The clarity and spatial awareness are just unmatched by competitors. However, there is an issue named Siri. Now Siri works great for the average user but there is no denying she falls a bit behind compared to other assistants. A lot of these limitations I expect will be improved with future updates. These limitations are in no way a deal breaker because it works perfectly with many HomeKit enabled devices. The HomePod works seamlessly with Apple Music, but Spotify users still shouldn't look elsewhere. Spotify streaming is still supported via Airplay. Overall, I think HomePod is well worth its steep price tag.

Wow. I thoight this would be like an Alexa or something, but its far from it. The sound is impeccable, the integration with other Apple products is seamless, and the $99 price tiag might be high for a Smart Speaker, bit for an Apple product, its very affordable.

Works better than I thought it would. The sound through them is amazing

Got mine back when it first released just because I thought i looked cool. I don’t listen to music only music i played through it was Christmas music through the radio feature. I use mine just as an alarm clock

I would consider myself an audiophile. I love music, and above average high quality speakers. I bought the HomePod with the intention of just returning it due to lack of satisfaction. I have owned many different wireless speakers, none of them completely satisfied my taste. I like a wireless speaker to be compact, play loud and clear. The HomePod sounds big, very clear and has a lot of bass. Given my intended use for it, playing music while multitasking around the house or garage, it delivers the type of sound I was looking for, easily heard in other rooms, nothing sounds left out of any genre I play, I also can control the volume and songs playing from on my Apple Watch. I find it pretty basic for smart home features in comparison to amazon Alexa. If you are in the Apple ecosystem and want a sound quality foremost smart speaker, this is for you. To save yourself time, delete the HomeKit app and re download it to start, as that was my setup issue, also make sure you are holding your iPhone right over the top of speaker to bring up paring process. I have no complaints so far and definitely can’t ask for more from the sound quality it delivers.

Great product, fast delivery working great and very good sound

The sound on this is decent given the size. It does have a kind of artificial fullness like software is playing tricks on your ears. The BIGGEST drawback is that it doesn't travel well. Resetting to get airplay to work on different subnets is a pain and often fails. This is not a bluetooth speaker. I you want to travel get a good bluetooth speaker.

I got the HomePod Mini from my wife for Father’s Day, and is probably one of the greatest gifts I ever receieved! The sound on this little thing is amazing! I highly recommend getting one 100%.

Takes the greatness of the original HomePod and puts it into a much cheaper and more refined package. All the colors are great too

As always with Apple, a well-made and beautifully designed product. However, unless one is a member of the Appleverse, there are less expensive products that offer similar performance. The sound is better than some of its competitors, but not enough so to make it cost-effective.

If you use Apple Music, and/or have an extensive playlist this IS awesome! I never really understood the purpose of Alexa, the HomePod is really built for music lovers, like we are. I received mine 2/9 from the preorder, we have been learning and testing it for the last day. If anyone says setup is hard, they are trolling, this is by far the easiest thing I have ever set up, bar none Sound quality is exceptional for the size. I have a 25 x 25 living room with 21 foot ceilings, and the speaker sounds nice. For the size of room, if I had 3-4 sync'd I think it would rival my home audio system. Siri can easily understand commands at a normal speaking level from quite a distance. Ignore the low star ratings, they have not listened to or seen one yet.

Great little speaker. Have two set up as a stereo pair for my Apple TV. Great having Siri on command and also having a great sound bar.

Downsizing to 1,000 square foot apartment meant letting go of my receiver and speakers. I know I needed a sound bar. I'm looking at your Sonos Beam, but wanted something else for music. I am heavily into the Apple ecosystem and jumped at the $199 price tag. I couldn't be happier. The sound fills the room with plenty of bass and extreme clarity. Heck even Siri does a nice job. The only challenge I had setting up was making sure your phone has the latest software update. Until you do the HomePod update will not load. Not a biggie but important. I look forward to adding a Beam and getting complaints about the music emanating from my apartment.

Tremendously and surprisingly great sound. Very responsive. Seamlessly integrates with our Apple devices

I am pleased with the purchase - Just as the iPod was used to listen and catalog music the HomePod performs this task as well as any other platforms available (obviously this one working within the IOS Ecosphere). I am not looking for the best virtual assistant or a single interface to automate my home (fine using my iPhone and the various apps to take care of that). I wanted the best jukebox for the money and without a doubt the HomePod is it. Set-up is as simple as it gets, Siri is more than capable for delivering the ultimate music experience - immediately delivering up pretty much any song or custom music channel you can dream up (play alternative bands from the 90’s with only one hit). In addition if you want to know the weather, time, stock market etc... no problem. I am fine not ordering Domino’s or Uber without grabbing my phone and don’t need a shout out trivia partner or spell checker. Speaker Phone capability would be nice and I suspect will present itself with a software update in the future. From a sound perspective this speaker is impeccably designed to fill a room and does just that. Not stereo is also not a concern music sounds great from anywhere in the space at any volume. In fact people walking in have to look around to figure where the music is coming from - certainly not a set of bookshelf Klipsch speakers where you need to sit in that perfect location to enjoy the music. If you are an IPhone / Ipad customer that can afford the cost go for it. I think for 95% of folks out there this sitting on a shelf somewhere will replace their tuner/amps and conventional speakers leaving them to wonder what to do with the new found space (might want to pick up some plants on the way home). As far as comparing to Android and Google, I’m fine living and paying for the IOS Ecosystem not looking to convince anyone Apple is better. I’ll let the trolls out there convince you of that or tell you how stupid I am and what a sucker You have to be etc....

Purchase two of these for my work desk and it has been a fantastic addition It is nice to be able to just move music from my phone to the speakers or from my computer the speakers

Love the HomePod mini! Its just the right size for end tables, night stands or the kitchen. I have home automation using Homekit and the mini is great to have in areas that I need voice control. I have a mini at my office too.

One of the best purchases I’ve ever made. The sound quality is great and makes listening to your favorite music a new experience.

Yes, these are used to play music but Apple really needs to do a better job marketing these as what they are - your Apple Homekit router. You can use these to control all sorts of devices and automations in Apple home. I have them in every room of the house all meshed together so that when any door of my house opens they fire up and start playing an alarm throughout the house while turning on all the lights. Very useful devices. If you have the Apple TV 4K box you can link them for stereo audio as well. Too much to list here. A steal for $100.
