    In love with my HomePod Mini. It pairs very easily with my Apple TV and the handoff feature has been used on multiple occasions. This purchase has made me debate spending the extra money and getting the bigger version, but that’s for another day.

    It’s an amazing speaker with great sound and bass when you consider how small the device is. Sound is clear and fills up a room, and you have the option to turn off the kind of heavy bass in the settings of the Home app. You can even pair it with another HomePod Mini for a stereo effect. It’s amazing.

    I purchased this as a Bluetooth speaker for my kitchen because of it's compact size and was really surprised by how nice the sound from it is. The unit is about the size of a softball but sounds much bigger. The sound is just about as good as my Harmin Kardon speakers. I'm thinking of getting a pair for my living room to use with my sound bar for watching tv - since I believe they will work as stereo speakers when in the same area. I also use the Siri command capabilities to control my house lights.

    We purchased two, one for the kitchen and one for our bedroom. The sound quality is really good and the volume and fullness of sound is amazing for such small speakers. We are definitely glad we purchased them. We use them to listen to Apple Music, podcasts, and audio books. We are very pleased with them and recommend them for iPhone users.

    Small but mighty. Excellent sound quality for its size! Rich full sound at highs, miss and lows. Does get very loud but perfect for a small room like a bed room. Perfect if you are deep in the apple ecosystem. For example subscribe to Apple Music. You care pair it with another mini and have full steel sound. I would highly recommend it to someone who was thinking of buying an apple smart speaker but didn’t want to spend the money on the regular home pod which has tremendous sound quality.

    The Apple Home Pod mini is a small smart speaker with surprisingly big sound. It is only for those already deeply involved in the Apple universe as it requires an iPhone to use and seamlessly integrates with the iPhone.This is an absolutely wonderful and surprisingly powerful little speaker! It’s also absolutely packed with awesome features and it works so effortlessly and seamlessly with any Apple device. Setup literally takes less than 2 minutes; just hold your device near it and it’ll automatically register it

    Awesome product! Incredible sound from a tiny package. Obviously no booming bass, but surprisingly loud, clean, full sound from a tennis ball size speaker. Siri works quickly. Overall totally impressed!!

    Solid Small Speaker

    The HomePod is a quality smart speaker as far as build quality and sound are concerned. It gets surprisingly loud for being a little bigger than a large apple. Additionally, it is very easy to pair with an iPhone because you have to unlock the phone and bring it close to the HomePod mini. One thing to mention is that this is clearly marketing towards those who use the Apple services. For me I use Apple Music and listen to podcasts while I do my work so it works really well.

    Like any other Apple product, the materials and the finish is high quality. I own the original Homepod and decided to try the mini. For the money, I would say it is worth it. You can get a decent sound quality considering its small size. Great mid-tones, and decent bass. Not the same as the bigger model in terms of quality, but you can expect that if you're looking for a compact product.

    Bought this out of concerns with privacy issues with Amazon Alexa. Works extremely easy and better the more Apple products you have. Sound is great and setup is super, super easy. Only caveat is is that it runs on 802.11N not, AC or AX, but can still do 5ghz. Worth the price. I control all my Hue bulbs and other home devices and it works well. I love the fact that I can use it as a speakerphone for my iPhone and send messages, update my calendar, and more.

    I am a casual listener of music, but fairly avid with podcasts. I have been pleased with the sound. It is better than I expected given the small size, but don't expect it to fill a room with sound. It is super simple to setup and I haven't had any issues with it losing connection to my WiFi network. I find that Siri works really well on the HomePod mini. Even with the sound up pretty loud, it responds very quickly to commands. It works great for making and receiving phone calls. If you are not an iPhone or iPad user, this would make sense to purchase though.

    I recently purchased the Apple HomePod mini from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! The setup was incredibly easy and seamless with my existing Apple devices. The sound quality is fantastic for such a small device—rich bass, clear vocals, and it fills the room effortlessly. Siri integration is top-notch, allowing me to control my smart home devices, play music, and even get weather updates with just my voice. The design is sleek and compact, making it perfect for any space. If you're in the market for a smart speaker, the HomePod mini is a fantastic choice!

    Good sound. Pretty easy to use but not always perfect. Sometimes you will have to repeat functions to get them to work. Biggest flaw, why is it not wireless?!!!

    The Apple HomePod Mini is an absolute game changer! This compact and stylish smart speaker packs a powerful punch with its impressive sound quality. The bass is deep and the vocals are crystal clear, making it perfect for listening to music, podcasts, or taking calls. Siri integration is seamless, allowing for hands-free control of your smart home devices and easy access to information and entertainment. The design is sleek and modern, and the size is perfect for any room in the house. What sets the HomePod Mini apart from the competition is its advanced audio processing technology. The speaker automatically adjusts the sound to match the room, ensuring optimal audio quality no matter where you are. And with Apple Music integration, you have access to over 70 million songs at your fingertips. In conclusion, the Apple HomePod Mini is a 5-star product in every aspect. It is the perfect combination of style, functionality, and sound quality, making it a must-have for any Apple user. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch smart speaker experience.

    Cool speakers, not a lot of power and ours broke

    I've been deep into the Apple ecosystem since my first iPod in the early 2000's. We have multiple Apple TV's, iPads, iPhones, 5 Homepod Minis and Airpods. We bought 2 of these to link them as a stereo pair in a room where we are using an Apple TV as our video source on an Epson projector and these were to provide our sound without being an eyesore. These 2 are nestled at the top of our sectional where the couch meets the wall and are barely visible due to the white matching our light grey sectional. Sound quality is good, but not very powerful. I wasn't expecting these to replace home theater speakers, rather just provide the same level as a built in TV speaker. We have 2 children and we find ourselves running these at max volume just to watch a TV show on Peacock. Aesthetics-very nice looking, small footprint. Functionality/Cool factor: We really enjoy being able to use Hey Siri for weather, creating timers, adding tasks to lists, playing movies etc. Very high marks in this category. Reliability: I bough this in July of 2021 and we just noticed that the left speaker of our stereo pair was not working, Had to take to Best Buy for repair. Luckily we are within our 1 year factory warranty period. I've never had an Apple product die on me, not once in 20 years. In summary, these are cool little speakers to play some music on. We have 4 in our downstairs and when people come over we are able to stream the same source to all of the speakers to get that immersive sound effect. Nice integration with the Apple TV for audio source although we do have to manually select them each time. Overall these are really cool speakers that are lacking only in the power category. I wish they hadn't discontinued the original Homepod

    very happy with these, we have several for multi room music. with proper placement depending on the size of the room it is in these sound great. Additionally you can pair 2 for stereo in any given room. setup is quick and easy and if your home/ environment is mainly an apple eco system, every thing just works together. My favorite feature is the voice recognition so I can just tell it to play my playlist of choice, and it does and My wife can tell another to play her playlist of choice and it does... we have separate apple IDs/ accounts and some differing tastes in music, or we can choose to play something on all of them throughout the house.
