Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love the HomePod mini. We have 5 of them, in different rooms. Love that it also tells temperature and humidity in that room. In addition to playing music, I ask Siri daily "hey what is the temperature outside" and she's quick to let me know. We also use this (2 in tandem, actually) as the external speakers for our main TV, gives a surround sound experience.

The HomePod mini delivers impressive sound quality for its size, truly packing a punch. While it’s not quite as powerful as the regular HomePod, it still offers a rich audio experience. Having it in your room, or pairing two for a stereo setup, creates a cozy, home theater vibe that’s perfect for an apartment.

Big sound from a small speaker. Exceeded expectations on sound quality and volume. Good looking, and compact. Excited to get another to pair for stereo. I like using with Airplay to simultaneously stream music to my Mac, Apple TV, Vizio TV and Yamaha receiver all at once - works just like a Sonos system.

Fantastic sound quality and easy setup. It’s a good value for the price. It sounds way better than my google home mini. Although google assistant is superior in some ways, Siri can actually hear you quite easily even while music is playing. I feel like I need to yell when speaking to the google home mini.

Hey. Hey... Surprisingly good sound for what it is…particularly good for room to room intercom…very nice with a little bit of a learning curve for home use features. But as an audio music source pretty great

Perfect on my desk. It has great sound and volume. I can touch my phone on it to continue playing and even use it as the speaker for my the MacBook Air. It also can tell you the temperature in the room.

Bought two, stereo paired. Sound is nice. Siri control of HomeKit devices handy. Intercom is cool. Handoff to and from iPhone works well. Appletv can use them as well. Just waiting for apple to upgrade as so I can use them as true surrounds with stereo paired HomePods to improve atmos experience.

GREAT ADDITION TO HOMEPOD ORIGINAL OR STANDALONE FOR SMALLER SPACES. I have two of these that I use as a supplement to my larger HomePod. Apple has a cool feature that allows you to set them up in stereo (designate a L/R mini pod to allow for true stereo playback and mated volume level). I also find it handy to have the touch controls located in a couple additional places via these, for example my larger home pod is closer to the entrance of the room where as the mini pods are located near seating locations (my desk and recliner). While these do cover the full range of highs and lows, the larger HomePod offers the thumpy bass if you’re looking for that. The mini’s speakers do a better than is to be expected job with lows, but even so it is obviously much less pronounced than the full size HomePod, which is why I opted to use two of them with the full size HomePod to create a powerful sound system combination. For office, dorm, smaller applications a single one of these should meet any demands.

I purchased this with the idea that it would act as alarm clock for me when I decided to take all other electronics out of my bedroom at night. Like anything Apple branded it off course works seamlessly with your iPhone so Siri works great and the “handoff” feature of placing your phone on top of the speaker and then whatever you’re playing starts playing on the speaker also works great. Sound is also surprisingly good for such a small speaker. However, if you’re like me and want to use it as an alarm clock of sorts I would recommend against it. Annoyingly, you can tell Siri to set an alarm and it will, but if I happen to wake up early and want to cancel the alarm, I would have to start talking to Siri and ask to turn the alarm off. No problem if you’re single but if you’ve got someone sleeping next to you then you’re having a conversation that will inevitably wake them up. There’s no way of getting to your iPhone and turning the alarm off on the HomePod specifically. Because of that, I went with Amazon Alexa echo spot which has a digital clock and weather display, Alexa voice recognition to turn an alarm on and the ability to turn the alarm off directly on the unit to or my phone - and it’s $50 cheaper.

Packs great sound for the size, and works seamlessly with iPhones once set up. Sounds great in any situation including tiny bathrooms where some speakers may be unusable. Personally ended up getting a couple to give away as gifts and to put around the apartment!

Purchased for an older woman who lives alone. She enjoys listening to her music. There is comfort knowing she can ask Siri to call for help if she falls.

The sound is excellent and looks good too! Nice bass for the size. Siri can hear you from another room and it can get pretty loud. Nothing earth-shattering but it can fill a small room to medium-sized room. The stereo pairing makes it sound even louder. Overall I am happy with them. Going to buy more.

Apple again at his best. Small compact speaker with seamless connectivity to apple devices. I love the sound and use it at my work desk for listening to podcasts and radio. Siri is available which gives you option to control the content. I use Pandora but i wish Apple would have given the support with Youtube as well. Faced connectivity issues couple of times thats why giving 4 stars.

I'm very impressed with the HomePod mini. Although it is disappointing that the larger HomePod is no longer available from Apple, this device is very capable, with sound quality outperforming bluetooth speakers twice the size or larger. This is my first experience with AirPlay and with a HomeKit assistant, and I am impressed with the ease of setup and use. Audio quality is very important to me. This is by far the best quality sound I have ever heard out of a 3-inch speaker. That said, where this speaker lacks is in high-end clarity. Esses, cymbals, etc. are a little bit fuzzy. Frequency range is amazing, with bass clear and even all the way into the lowest tones. Spoken word is very clear. The overall character of the sound is even. As a stereo pair the sound quality is better than our $300 soundbar/subwoofer or our $500 bluetooth speaker from another brand.

Awesome speaker and love the sound. Only thing is the speaker is not wireless has to be connected to power supply. Overall will be purchasing the HomePod and mini in near future

This little speaker packs a punch. The sound is clear, great bass, and volume can get loud. My only complain is pairing the speaker. First, you need pair it with the iPhone app and then you link it to the Apple TV at home. You cannot ask the Apple TV to search for wireless Bluetooth speakers without having those speakers linked to your Apple account. I also attempted to look for Bluetooth speakers using my smart TV feature, but the tv would not read the Apple speaker as available. The same thing happened with my Galaxy Note, when I searched for Bluetooth speakers, no luck either. This is not a Bluetooth speaker that you can directly pair it with any device. However, if you have any iPhone playing music, just put it close by and the speaker will auto-sync and start playing the music from your iPhone. No setting, no buttons to push, any iPhone just 2 inches or so away from the speaker, and that is all it takes for the speaker to play whatever music you had in your iPhone.

Apple never ceases to amaze me! Wish I had had this years ago, very very easy to set up, and works perfectly! 65 years old, been a musician all my life, and for the past 30 years running my own studio, I know what sounds good and what doesn't sound good, and I am totally blown away at how good the sound is coming from this little ball, absolutely amazing sound quality, and I can control every light, thermostat, pretty much everything in the house with my voice. Just bought another one to go upstairs, very highly recommend!

These are great little speakers. Good sound, good volume, work without any annoying setup.

I have three HomePod minis in my house and love them. I wish I had more. Great sound for a little speaker but even better is the features that come with it. I love how well it integrates into the Apple ecosystem.

This speaker sounds pretty good. It won’t replace proper bookshelf speakers for music. It’s nice for background music or podcasts. It like the highly responsive “hey Siri” feature. I can control lights and my Apple TV with just my voice comments.
