Customer Ratings & Reviews

This review is only about the HomePod mini itself, audio quality and convenience features for Apple device users. I would not recommend this product unless you have at least an iPhone or an Apple TV. At $99 these are certainly a more expensive option but in this case what you get is totally worth it! Sound quality is amazing for a wireless speaker. Paired with an Apple TVK plus a second HomePod mini and it is an unexpectedly wonderful experience. Keep in mind that there is no AUX jack or any ports of any kind... And the power cable is fixed. I could complain about some things but I did get more than I expected. Great value for Apple device users, not remended unless you have at least an iPhone, iPad or Apple TVK.

Small size, big sound. Have a few of these around my home. Stereo pairs sound great in my kitchen. These also double as HomeKit hubs. The thread feature makes other thread enabled products work seamless!

Although I ordered two of this speaker, one arrived early and this arrived way after Christmas. It was a Christmas gift. We were disappointed. Other than that the speaker is much smaller than I thought. It does work well, set up was easy and I haven’t had any issue with it.

This speaker is not for everyone, however if you are a person that is invested into the apple ecosystem (Apple Music, iPhone, Apple TV, Homekit) and are looking for a speaker, then this is the one for you. The speaker quality is good considering it's size and the speaker's can really blend into the room if you want them to. Siri is well... siri she's doesn't do anything different vs iphone/ipad, but for 99% of general smart home tasks (play music/turn off lights/lock door) it's just as good as Google assistant/Alexa. given the 99 price point, I'm not sure if it's worth upgrading from other smart speakers, but if you're in the market for new speakers then take a look at the homepod mini

Pretty good sound for the size and stereo pairing is super simple. Also, there's a nifty little feature where you can be listening to something on your phone, then just tap your phone to the HomePod, and it starts playing from the HomePod. As always, Siri isn't nearly as good as others for answering random questions, BUT is wayyyy more reliable for simple requests. I can count on Siri to understand me 99% of the time when I tell her to "turn the lights on" or "what's the weather." Google/Alexa definitely have more to say, but are never as reliable. --at least not in these little devices. My advice: keep this one for music and home automation commands, and keep a Google/Amazon device nearby for random questions.

Homepod mini isnt as loud and doesnt have as much base as the original Homepod but its very good. Still wish it paired directly with traditional tvs and auxiliary cords, then it could be 5 stars.

I purchased two of the apple homepod mini to use with my iphone and ipad. they were a little hard for me to set up but thanks to You tubes help is was able to set them up. They sound very good and it may take getting use to. Over all i like them. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The sound is great. I also have a white one. So far no issues with either color. I haven't had them long enough to form major dust. Nothing I have noticed anyway. The top gets dirtier on the black I think.

Great product! It was super easy to set up and it’s great if you listen to white noise when you sleep.

This is the second HomePod i purchased. This one was a used display model and was stuck in display mode. Few google searches later and I factory reset it and its as good as new! Siri doesnt seem to always understand me, but its always learning.

I purchased this after owning the original HomePod. While the bass is not quite as solid as the HomePod, the Mini is a class on its own given the size. It fits nicely on the desk and sounds great.

Fantastic little speaker. Works as described and doesn’t disappoint

Works as stated. Great device to ask that important question.

Love the HomePod Mini. I have 3 Alexa devices and will be switching them for these Minis as soon as more come in stock. The microphones pick up very well and the sound is great for a small (tiny) speaker.

We started off with one HomePod for listening to music while I work, and although they seem very bass-heavy to me the overall effect was pleasing, so we bought another one to try as a stereo pair. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a lot of smearing between the two, so we moved them to the living room to replace our TV speakers where they work much better. However, that left the office with no speakers, hence the HomePod mini purchase. Not nearly as much bass, which is fine, and the more coherent sound allows them to work better as a stereo pair. I think I like a pair of the HomePod minis better for music than a single HomePod, although for "home theater" the original HomePod is preferable.

I recently purchased the Apple HomePod Mini, and I love its performance with my Home automation integration. The compact design doesn't compromise on sound quality – it delivers impressive audio in a small package. Setting it up was a breeze, and the seamless integration with Apple devices makes it a perfect addition to my smart home. Overall, a fantastic purchase that exceeded my expectations.

Great sound for such a small speaker. Perfect for small rooms like restroom or small bedrooms. The sound is pushed to the bottom and bounces off the surface to create full sound. Sometimes it does feel a bit too bass-y, / heavier on the lows and wish it had slightly clearer sound. It never distorts but it’s more comfortable to listen within the 50 to 75% volume range. Maybe that’s because I live in an apartment and I’m too scared to get too loud. The cloth covering on the white one seems to show slight imperfections around the top and where the cloth is stitched right where the cable is. Wouldn’t say it’s a dealbreaker, but feel like it’s probably less noticeable on the black one.

Yes, this speaker only works if you have an apple device, but if you're looking for a great wireless speaker that streams over WiFi instead of bluetooth, HomePod is the way to go! I love it and it can pick up my voice from a distance to either make it play music or even turn up the volume while it's playing. I have no issues with it yet. It does what I bought it for and it's so nice being able to play music now from my bed without having to get up and turn something on and having to connect my phone. I have my speaker setup next to an old 2.1 computer speaker setup in my room and one day my dad thought my music was playing from my 2.1 setup. He couldn't believe the sound was coming from just the HomePod. It's heavy and for a good reason! It puts out a good amount of volume and great quality sound. According to Amazon Music's app, the HomePod is playing at 24bit/48kHz for it's maximum streaming quality. I have a Hi-Fi setup in a separate room with studio monitors and an Onkyo receiver as well and the HomePod is still a great substitute when I don't feel like turning on my whole Hi-Fi setup. I highly recommend the HomePod based on my experience, but you definitely have to first consider how you plan to use your wireless speaker and what you need from it. But again, for my needs it's been perfect and I have no regrets! I wish it was completely wireless being that it needs to be plugged in to work at all, but again that's what makes it able to put out the sound that it can.

Absolutely love the sound quality for a speaker this size. Very happy with it

I would rather have an Alexa over my homepod. My alexa I had was the Echo Show. Alexa listened way better then my homepod does. As soon as i tell Alexa lights on they were on. My homepod does not have an as fast response. If it weren’t for me having an iPhone I probably wouldn’t have gotten it.
