    Paired with another Homepod to create a great sounding audio setup. The fact that its compatible with AppleTV and any Bluetooth device in general just makes it that much easier to use in all sorts of situations. If you are going to get one, I would suggest you get another!

    I really like Apple HomePod Minis. This is my second one, and I really wanted orange. I bought this as an open box. It as supposed to be in like new condition, but was missing the power supply. My options were to return it and buy a new one at regular price, buy a $20+ power supply, or keep it. I still got a good price, and used a power supply I had on hand. Anyhow, for what it is, I like the sound and if you have the Apple ecosphere, this dovetails nicely. Great colour as well! Less stars because open box was missing power supply.

    Very impressive sound from a small speaker, with a very futuristic design, the color is perfect to go with any decoration or color in your walls, while apple makes some other colors, we choose white with porpoise of bringing it to any room and go along with the decoration, easy to install and very easy to operate, even grandma can play her music or podcast in this one, is just a prefect gift.

    What is not to love about this smart speaker? Some audiophiles out there will say that it doesn't have the right sound, or it doesn't fill the room...that's all crazy talk! For the size and price of this speaker, it has wonderful sound that is more than enough to fill the room. You can't compare everything to a system that costs thousands of dollars, but you can enjoy the equipment that you have...and this is a great little speaker. The setup is easy, and Siri can hear you whisper from across the room...which is slightly freaky, but good when you need to control this thing. Pair it with a modern iPhone and you have even more control on your screen. Want to take that music on the road? Just hold that iPhone near the top and instantly the music picks up on your phone...or vise versa. I have small smart speakers from other companies, and this one beats them all. To be fair, it is also more expensive than the others. If you want good sound from Apple Music, Pandora, any other streamer, or just from your local iPhone library, then this is the speaker for you. Want to make a sudo-surround/stereo sound type upgrade for your TV? Get two of these and pair them with the Apple TV to give your TV watching a boost!

    HomePod dying and bought October of 2019. That fact speaks for itself. It has begun death farting and shutting down. This HomePod has been rarely used in the 23 months I have owned it. Will be contacting Best Buy and Apple to see if they stand behind their merchandise. By review will be updated if I’m not stuck with a $323.99 paperweight.

    I Love My Apple HomePod mini

    The Apple HomePod mini has been a fantastic addition to my space. It connects seamlessly to my iPhone, making it super easy to play music, take calls, or control smart devices with just a voice command or tap. The sound quality is surprisingly impressive for its size — rich, balanced, and fills the room beautifully. Whether I’m listening to music, a podcast, or using it as a speakerphone, everything sounds crystal clear. It’s compact, stylish, and fits perfectly into any room. If you’re already in the Apple ecosystem, the HomePod mini feels like a natural (and smart) upgrade.

    Bought for the parents to act as a homekit hub since their smart door lock was Bluetooth and couldn't reach the iPad. Works perfect as a hub since it connects to bluetooth and wifi. Nice sound quality, heavy for size, easy to use Siri, so much so, I will buy more to put in other rooms and basement in case one of them has issues (elderly) and can use Siri to call for help. Don't need life alert now. I plan on buying one for me as well to put in bedroom and connect to iPad since I watch youtube before nodding off and have a hard time hearing the tablet speakers. I had a hard time getting the homekit to setup but that was because I had an iPad already acting as a smart hub and needed to turn that off in one settings area and then needed to add the homePod hub to my current named homekit i was using which I had to click that small home icon in upper left corner. This was my first time doing all that and didn't know where the settings were. Thank goodness for the internet and those that take time to create videos and webpages. All has been perfect since install

    This little speaker looks cool and sounds amazingly rich—punching way above its weight. The speakerphone function works seamlessly, delivering far more utility than I expected.

    I haven't been a fan of these small speakers in the past. I'm an IT professional and have read a lot of reports how the Alexa devices were being hacked, and very intrusive.I even had an Alexa device connect to my phone because I connected to my niece's wifi, and it turned on my bluetooth and sent me messages. Not cool. But, I looked into the Apple devices and there've been very few issues like those. I love high definition audio and will never give up my stereo equipment. But, I got a Homepod Mini for my mom and really liked that it's not just for connecting an apple phone and playing music. This is my third Homepod mini for my own home. I was very excited to see my Apple TV connect to my other HPM, so I got this one to have stereo sound, and I totally love it. Far better than the TV speakers. I don't like iphones, but love other Apple devices. I use this one (along with it's partner) for Apple TV, Apple Music, connecting Prime Music, setting alarms/timers, asking questions. I'm thinking of getting one for each room so I can use them as an intercom system.

    Setup was straight-forward to use the HomePod Mini to stream YouTube Music. The sound is far richer and fills the space far more than you'd ever imagine something this compact would produce.

    I switched from the Alexa Eco Dot to the Apple Pod mini. Although more expensive, the setup was very simple and easy. It sounds better than the Alexa Eco Dot. Better low-end bass output. Plays my Apple Music playlists. Alexa Eco Dot didn’t do that very well. It was like Ground Hogs Day with my wake-up alarm playlist setting always beginning with the same song and never in shuffle mode. The Apple Pod got it right from the start. Overall, I’m satisfied with the Apple Pod Mini.

    It's almost not fair for me to review this because I've been so spoiled by my setup of two original HomePods for several years, those things boom. This little guy isn't bad. I have one in my bathroom and another in the bedroom to spread music throughout my apartment. They *do* offer surprising bass for the size, but that's also not saying much for how small these things are. The screen looks nice, touch functions are useful, and they are, of course, very high quality. Connect to usb-c power, and they have temperature and humidity sensors built in. I will say that there are occasional issues where songs will just drop, or take forever to play, but it's very intermittent, and may be more of a wifi issue than a HomePod mini issue.

    Apple HomePod Mini is a must purchase for any Apple product user. This can be used in any room in the house. It has also inspired me to integrate more Apple HomeKit items into my home and use Siri more for various things like turning on my lights and asking her what the weather is. I have 2 of these speakers paired in my living room, making them a single surround sound speaker. These can then be selected to play sound in addition to my Tv's soundbar for any program I am watching on my 4K apple Tv. One fun thing (sort of :-() ) is that I originally created my Apple HomeKit network at my parents house after I purchased my first HomePod mini. At the time, I gave them access so they could play music on it as well. After I returned home, they were able to turn on and off my music on the HomePod mini, as well as all of my lights from almost 1000 miles away.

    Excellent Sound and Smart Home Hub, But Siri Needs

    The HomePod mini is a fantastic addition to my home ecosystem. For its compact size, the sound quality is great—it easily fills the room and handles daily music playback beautifully. I use it daily and have successfully integrated it into my smart home, including setting up an automation to use music as my morning alarm, which works flawlessly. The seamless setup and powerful integration with Apple HomeKit are huge wins for the device. However, Siri definitely needs work. While basic commands are fine, the voice assistant frequently struggles with more complex requests or understanding context. I sincerely hope future software updates bring better, more responsive functionality to Siri to truly unlock the potential of the HomePod mini. Overall, it's a solid smart speaker and a great smart home hub.

    "The Apple HomePod Mini is a great addition to any home, offering high-quality sound in a compact and affordable package. Its seamless integration with other Apple products makes it a no-brainer for Apple users looking to expand their smart home setup. The device's voice recognition is incredibly accurate, allowing for easy control through Siri, and the convenience of being able to ask Siri anything makes it an excellent companion for daily tasks. Overall, I highly recommend the Apple HomePod Mini for anyone looking for a powerful and compact smart speaker.

    Was very impressed by what you can do with this. It's very small, the bass is amazing, and makes a great gift for anyone in the Apple Ecosystem. One thing that impressed me the most was that for Apple TV, you can use this as the replacement speak for your television. If you have 2 of these, you can stereo it for the room (even sounds good with just one). Deep bass and multiple uses like intercom, doing Siri searches, weather, music, and setting timers in the kitchen. There are other smart home things you can do with this, but haven't delved that far yet! Quite pricy but definitely has much potential. The Home app for Apple needs some improvements though...only one owner and you need to add people to it to be able to have multiple users on one Homepod.

    The unit is small and easy to sit in small places. The sound quality is good for its size and the ease of use is excellent. I have it located in a nice sized kitchen and it fills the room pretty good. If you need a little more room filling sound, you may want to buy the higher tiered model. I wish it was completely wireless by using a rechargeable battery instead of using a wired power adapter. A totally wireless speaker makes it easier to use anywhere without the need of an electrical outlet.
