    Excellent sound system fills entire living room while playing the full catalog that Apple Music has to offer including their radio stations. Siri is able to listen to commands easily with her very nice microphone. Also able to control many apps on my iPhone through Siri commands.

    Bought two of these to have a stereo setup in the kitchen/living room. “Hey Siri” works really well, even at loud volumes. Really like how they’re tied into the Apple ecosystem, they “just work.” All that being said, recognize that these are two large orange sized smart speakers…the low end is non-existent. Great for NPR, terrible for The Weeknd.

    W product, plays music and stuff of that nature. Wish it would actually answer my question instead of telling me to ask my phone but it’s allright!

    Great Audio - No a Smart Speaker

    I own smart speakers from the other two major companies but wanted to get a Homepod to compare all three. I wanted until it went on sale as I did not think it was worth the everyday price. When it comes to music and audio this be by far the best on the market. The sound is excellent and the bass is a lot better than I could of imagined. When it comes to asking it do searches, turn on the lights (Hue) and other things it is not really good. It tells me the lights are not available all the time, I don't know that one, or something else. All of the other devices not issue. I get annoyed if my phone/ipad is closer than the Homepod the music will stream for the that device. I have to get closer to the Homepod of make sure all other devices are locked. I do like the Homepod but if you not into listening to music or podcast I really can't see a reason to get one.

    I bought (2) and paired them and the audio is OK. But Using them in combination with my Bose Soundtouch during airdrop they all sound really good together. I've been discovering more uses and will probably add some electronics that I can control using SIRI through them.

    love that I can play anything on my phone onto the homepod. Google and Alexa don't let you do that. I would highly recommend if you have other Apple products!

    Bought this as a gateway router for my Thread network, with the intent to not really use it as a speaker or Siri interface. What a surprise. The speaker section sounds great for its size, and the Siri interface is MUCH better than through the phone. Very happy with this.

    I run two of these as stereo speakers with my 4k Apple TV. Sounds pretty good. The speakers have built in controls so I can pause/ play and regular the volume.

    I’m really impressed by its performance. I got it primarily for the smart home commands and features but I wasn’t expecting this small speaker to sound good.

    I preordered two of these when they first came out. They were a lot smaller than what I thought they were going to be. They sound great for their size. Would definitely recommend having the full size HomePod to go along with these to give an overall better, fuller sound.

    This amazing tiny little thing sounds surprisingly good (even bass), looks great and delivers the smart speaker functionality - and all for this price. If you're an Apple fan and iPhone/iPad/Apple TV/Mac user you're going to like this device. Cons: a non-removable power cable.

    Best little device I ever had

    Sets up quickly, 20 seconds. Acoustic sound really big for its size. I am 72years old and if “I have fallen and can’t get up” , I can ask Siri to call 911. I can listen to my favorite music, ask about the weather or what is on my calendar. I have three to cover my whole house.

    Bought this as a gift for our son. Its an apple product so I expected it to be nice. The volume and sound quality that this little thing puts out was beyond what I was prepared for. Not as good as my Sonos products if I'm being honest but close.

    Another great Apple device

    Sound quality is shockingly great but it’s what you’d expect from Apple. The device is much bigger than you would think. Siri isn’t awesome by any means but she is still evolving and so will the speaker that’s the great thing about Apple. Definitely try to get this on sale if you can cuz they are not cheap. That is probably the only negative thing I could say about it is the price Apple tends not to discount their products much more than $50 but on the flip side you no that you aren’t paying for a poorly engineered product either.

    I purchased the Apple - HomePod mini for my daughter and she absolutely LOVES IT! She is 23 years old so definitely not a child and truly appreciates the sound quality, the multiple functions and the ease of use in connecting with other Apple devices! Definitely a must buy!!

    These speakers sound excellent. I EQ my music so I can get the sound I want but this speaker sounds good all by itself. I listen to most of my music out on the deck and this speaker sounds as good loud as it does low. It’s something I didn’t think about before but sometimes I want great music at a low volume when I’m talking to someone and sometimes I want great music at high volumes, this speaker can do both. At low volume simply EQ your music to whatever genre you prefer and it can sound full at low volume. Can’t say enough good things about this speaker. Cons: it has to be plugged in which might be a negative for some people but not me.

    Just bought my second HomePod mini to make a stereo pair and I am so glad I did. I live in small apartment and do not play tv or music very loud. Having the pair my music is still played low but with the two together the sound is so full.
