    Even though it has less compatibility than Echo or Google's line making it a bit tougher to find smart products, this has amazing sound quality, Siri picks up commands well, and their privacy is way better. Totally worth it whether or not you have other Apple products for that reason in my opinion.

    Honestly better than the Amazon Alexa I had for about 5 years. Love the sound quality and Siri is responsive enough to my liking.

    I love this speaker it sounds awesome. I love the fact that it connects to all of my Apple devices a response to any command with Siri hands-down I would get the speaker over anything else. Amazon echoes suck.

    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.

    We set this up in the kitchen, I use it mostly to stream Netflix while I’m cooking. I love all the functions and that I can use it to connect to our other HomePod minis to use as an intercom system. I can also call everyone to dinner with texting everyone from it as long as it’s an iPhone. Seriously love this thing.

    Just like the homepod, only smaller. Doesn't sound as good but still sounds fine and loud enough for my family to listen to music. if you are already in the Apple sphere, worth getting. We got it to use as an intercom so we can stop yelling at kids upstairs; it is ok for that. Not great but better than yelling.

    I’m very impressed with this speaker. I paired it with my discontinued HomePod and the house is full of sound. I think picking up two of these mini’s and pairing them for stereo sound would be a wise move for a $200 smart theater. If you don’t like this speaker I feel your expectations are too high.

    It produces very good sound and better than I would have expected for it's size. I would have given it 5 stars except for the stereo pairing issues. The process is fairly straight forward but the results where not consistent. Got help from apple but it didn't stay fixed. I've now updated the laptop to macOS 11.3 and my iPhone to 14.5 and it seems to be working stable now. BTW they just came out.

    Purchased 3 of these as a low cost while home music solution. Family gatherings, parties, or just chilling on a Saturday, set these up at a good volume for ambient music in every room.

    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.

    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.

    Purchased many of these… forgot how many. But they are scattered around my home and produce great coverage for music and for listening for when I need to activate my home devices (such as lights and such).
