    Easy set up, sound quality is pretty decent. Is it worth the money? maybe not, but I got this while it was one sale.

    The HomePod is a fantastic “smart” speaker with incredible fidelity and range. Paired with Apple Music it’s super easy to use, as long as Siri understands. Apple could make this even better and more universal if they open up Bluetooth for non airplay and allowed 3rd party apps to work with it directly without needing to use an iPhone to airplay music from my Plex music library for instance or any other audio (I.e. TuneIn radio support). The hardware can do it, if only apple allowed it. Super wish list, Apple should make the HomePod at as a WiFi mesh network! They’d sell so many more it would be crazy!

    HomePod mini review

    This HomePod is cool. Its pretty versatile and is subtle enough to blend into the decor. The sound quality is solid for its size, but for the price I expected it to be a bit more robust. Other then that it does offer some cool features for automation and basic interactions as well as fitting in well to the apple eco system. Can be up and ready in 2 minutes.

    A great companion mini speaker for the kitchen. It syncs well with previously purchased full-size HomePods and is easy to control from Apple devices. The mini sounds great with multiple genres and for background music. It also sounds good at higher volumes but doesn’t have as much bass the regular HomePods.

    I I am in love with this product. It’s so much better than the Amazon and google assistant. It does everything you ask it to do. I know with a few more updates this will only get better. Gotta remember it’s in its infancy so there are a few glitches. Still love it though

    Great purchase! I purchased two Apple - HomePod mini's and connected them as a stereo pair to the AppleTV in my office. Great sound! I'm glad I made this purchase. Good sound and value for the price!

    I have four of the original HomePods and love them, but wasn’t ready to pay the price for another one so I thought I’d try the mini. I’m not disappointed at all! Great sound quality, and SIRI accurately hears my commands.

    - individually they sound better than the Echo Spot, but probably more like the 2nd gen echo. - in stereo, better than either. For NPR and background dinner music it's entirely acceptable. - siri seems to be more sensitive than an echo. don't seem to have to yell at it - C did the initial setup. This was a mistake. Siri just didn't understand anything I said. Redid it and siri is behaving - Play NPR / Adele / etc works as expected - airplay is nice to have. really nice that I can just move the phone near the homepod and it transfers. doesn't work with the ipad. - Pandora is supported. That's nice. Nothing else though. But..... - if you switch the default music service to Pandora then asking Play NPR, stops working. - Play NPR One will lead to playing a song with "One" in the title. This seems to fall under 3rd party app and not supported. Airplay works fine. So these are going back into the box.

    I grabbed two of these on sale, but only used one initially, primarily for music. To that end, it banged, great sound. I only recently paired the second one with the first recently, but, no surprise, bangs even nicer in stereo. The limitations to connecting non-apple products is a major drawback, but I use mostly apple products, so limits the negative for me.

    Sound quality was better than I expected. And firmware updates over the last couple of years have solve small issues I've had. Like when Siri voice was not loud enough, even after setting up as such. Also, if you're putting together a robust, thread smart home setup with Apple's HomeKit, I think its essential to have 1 or 2 of these around the house.

    The HomePod is an incredible speaker. It really shines when you want to listen to music while walking about in a room v. facing the speaker head on while sitting on a counch. Unlike the other front firing speakers the sound stage on this speaker is great. The bass is very fast, smooth and consistent. In my testing, the HomePods are not only better than the Google Max in terms of sound and design, but can hold their own with my KEF bookshelf’s which I paid over $1,200 for on sale! The HomePods are better for everyday listening. I have an iphone X and I have no problem AirPlaying any source to the HomePod. Also, I have no problems using the HomePod with HomeKit. In the end, Apple Music is my favorite music source so issues like HomePod only responding to music commands from Apple Music isn’t an issue for me,

    I have placed two of these in my office to listen to music and take calls/send text. The sound is amazing (as a stereo pair). The only challenge I run into is if someone remotely says something close to “Siri.” The speakers will pickup the voice and begin searching. Other than that, I love my mini homepods.

    It’s a good companion to the Apple ecosystem if you’re into keeping everything the same. Just hate that you can’t use it as a regular Bluetooth speaker for other non apple devices. Good sound but don’t expect HEAVY bass.

    This speaker is awesome as a bedside speaker. I use it to set alarms to wake up and sometimes to call family when I am relaxed in my room. Sometimes it doesn't pick up the phone calls that I try to transfer, but I'm sure that it can be ironed out with a software update.

    I've been enjoying my Apple HomePod Mini. I am able to use siri to play music, do basic math, and set timers. It's like having a little assistant always with me. Siri also helps to write down my grocery items so I can remember to get them. The sound is great and helps keep me entertained while being at home.
