    This is such a fun and great addition to your home. Quality is enough to think “Okay, okay Apple, I see you.” My recommendation is to put it in/near a corner, so you have sound echoing up and off the walls, and you’ll be a happy camper. The button is a little sensitive and will start playing its own radio if you’re not careful, but it does a great job of connection to your devices and being easy to “see”. I connect mine to my Apple TV and have several going through my home, and it’s awesome for chill music sessions during the day, and movie night is a blast.

    A Compact Smart Speaker for Apple Enthusiasts

    The Apple HomePod Mini is a sleek, compact smart speaker that delivers impressive performance for its size. Its design is minimalistic and fits seamlessly into most home setups. The sound quality is commendable, with balanced audio and surprisingly deep bass for such a small device. However, it doesn't compare to larger, more premium speakers. Siri integration is smooth but limited compared to competitors like Alexa or Google Assistant, especially in terms of third-party app compatibility. It shines in Apple-centric ecosystems, seamlessly integrating with other Apple devices and offering features like Handoff. While the price is competitive, it might not be the best choice for non-Apple users due to its limited cross-platform functionality. Overall, the HomePod Mini is a great option for Apple loyalists seeking a compact and stylish smart speaker with decent sound quality.

    I got it for under 50 dollars from the exellent refurbished option, and it came out flawless, the only complaint that i have is it does get slightly annoying when your phone is tryng to constantly connect, and it does sound really balanced, but i like bass to be punchy, which is slightly lacking ( EQ might help).

    Everyone knows the weaknesses of Siri. I believe they are related to Apple's (up until now) refusal to let 3rd party apps on (unlike Amazon or Google). So no discussion of that. Pros: Sounds MUCH better than Echo dot. Fills my home office almost completely. Much better bass than expected. Really small. Easy to hide/remove from sight. Obviously good integration into Apple ecosystem Cons: Expensive when compared to other entry level items Siri (I don't consider this a Con but many do) What's with this crazy power arrangement that really makes an item that should be portable not portable? The unit can be separated from the USB charger but doesn't have batteries?!? Really odd. Make it battery or make it plug in. It doesn't do either all that well.

    I recently purchased an Apple HomePod mini from Best Buy, and the experience has been excellent in every way. The HomePod mini itself is a fantastic product. Its compact design is sleek and modern, fitting perfectly into any space. The sound quality is remarkable for its size, offering rich, immersive audio that fills the room. The integration with Siri and Apple’s ecosystem is seamless, making it incredibly convenient to control smart home devices, set reminders, and play music with simple voice commands. The buying experience at Best Buy was also top-notch. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful, guiding me through the features and ensuring I made an informed decision. The checkout process was smooth, and the product arrived promptly and in perfect condition. Overall, I am thrilled with both the Apple HomePod mini and the service from Best Buy. Highly recommended!

    There’s no question that the HomePod Mini is a tall order against a similar priced Amazon Alexa but there is less to choose between them than you think. If you’re fully bought in to Apple Music and Apple Home then it’s a no brainer. The good news is that it sound amazing for something so small. Setup is dead easy and streaming music either by doing the “Hey Siri” command or by using iOS or IPadOS AirPlay is similarly simple. It also looks way better than an Alexa or Alex Dot. If you’re wholly Android and don’t use Apple Music then you’re better off with a different device,

    I have two HomePods I’ve been using for about a year now, and I absolutely love them! This is why when I was ready to add to my sound system, I was intrigued by the HomePod Mini. It’s compact, and when I say compact, it’s REALLY TINY, and it comes at a miniature price too! However, the sound this little thing produces is what really sells the product! I was shocked that it could compete with my HonePod!! If you are on a budget but want to have the Apple smart speakers as part of your home tech., I suggest the HomePod Mini! You won’t regret this purchase!

    For such a small speaker, it has a lot of sound. Bought it more for experimenting purposes, wanted to see what the hype was about. Passed to my son after I bought the new HomePods. If you’re looking for a small speaker that sounds great, look no further. Easy to hide, place around your room. Comes in different colors. The sound though is the most impressive thing about them.

    I bought this HomePod mini to pair with my first one and to use with my Apple TV. The sound is great and it fills the entire room. My first HomePod mini was an excellent buy and sounded great too. I also have a HomePod upstairs and am able to use it as an intercom with the two that are downstairs. The functionality of Siri has improved over the years and it comes in handy to select music, ask about the weather, etc., with a simple, “Hey Siri.” The HomePod mini sounds great and looks great too. I am very pleased with my purchase.

    I have a few homepods and decided to buy a few minis to put in smaller rooms. Although it’s smaller don’t think the sound is like and echo or echo dot it’s still surpasses those. This coupled with the price finally put Apple in the smart speaker game. Apple homepods always had the sound but now with the smaller package and price but still with the best sound, they will dominate the competition. The Siri functions are great although not as powerful in the query department. But still an extension of the apple ecosystem

    Loved it. Great mini, i bought a few of those to put in different positions of my home to pair up with full sized HomePods. I did return the white ones though, as when I bought them these were the only ones in stock. I just returned them for the black ones. Other than that, the sound quality was wonderfully surprising, the highs and lows were nice. Actually had nice thumping bass.. wastes any of its competitors in the price range and even double. This is a winner.

    While I am not the one who uses it (as it was a gift for my sister), what i do know from what she tells me is that it was a great purchase, as the ease of listening is great between her apple devices. the only downside is that it does need the wire to work, pardon my ignorance but before purchasing the homepod, there wasn’t much research done on our part regarding the use of the device, as well as needing internet connection to work well, we thought it was just an easy to use bluetooth device. all in all, it is a good device yes, but one that is stuck within the apple ecosystem once more.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
