Customer Ratings & Reviews

Small but powerful. Very clean and sharp sound. You can fit this speaker anywhere. Love it.

We wanted to ditch Amazon & remove Alexa from our house which meant switching to Home Assistant with Siri for voice control. We usually have Macbooks, iphones, apple watches or ipads around but for those times we dont, 2 HomePods have replaced the 10 Echo devices. With a single homepod on each level of the home were able to give voice commands from anywhere. These little things have a surprisingly big sound for their tiny form factor. Highs are crisp and lows are far fuller and more present than id expected. Theyre not going to rival our Sonos system but theyre a great entry level solution for multi room audio playback.

Incredible sound for the size. You won't believe what Apple can do in such a tiny package. The only issue is that to use Spotify, you have to use AirPlay. But from what I understand, the issue is not on Apple's side, but theirs. For a C-note, you won't get better sound than this. Plus, I trust Apple with my home conversations and privacy more than the other smart assistants. Yes, Siri isn't as good as the others, but it allows me to do most of what I want, including controlling my smart home.

The only thing that’s keeping this from getting 5 Stars is the lack of “skills” or “apps” that are compatible with the HomePod lineup. The only music app that currently works (somewhat) is Pandora. I still have issues with it playing stations that are on my account and there for have to play them using Airplay. Airplay is a great feature being able to play almost any music or radio app. The downside is you have to keep your phone charging or you are going to drain your battery rather quickly. It would be wonderful if Apple had something like a Sonos style app linked with 100’s of music providers and can stream music directly over the internet I would be happy to give it 5 stars. Where I am most impressed is the Sound quality!!!! It was much better than expected. I imagined slightly better than echo dot, but this thing rivals Bose soundlink mini. Music sounds extremely clear, bass is present just not room shaking. Bass heavy music is not this things strong suit but most music sounds pretty great on this thing. Hope my review helps!

Home pod mini is unbeatable for its stellar sound quality, compact size, reasonable price, looks and performance. Great product for iPhone users. !00% rating.

Love these little speakers. I have a Vizio tv that works great but the sound is always too loud or not loud enough depending on what’s playing. I put a pair of these synced in stereo and its perfect. Plus I can tell Siri to pause and start movies if I am feeling lazy and the volume can be controlled with the Apple TV remote or my phone or iPad. This will replace the sound of your tv without an Apple TV.. They also work great with The Home app. I have two in the bedroom that work in conjunction with my HomePod and listing to thunderstorms while I sleep is pretty incredible. This is by no means going to replace your home stereo but they definitely have their place. If you’re an Apple fan and use the Home app to automate your home or workspace you will fall in love fast.

The size of the Apple Mini is perfect! The sound quality is amazing, and she responds to commands with ease. I would recommend this device for gifts and other needs. Also, she would be a great companion for a travel destination.

HomePod Mini is a great size. Good sounding speaker. Siri continues to improve, like the ability to differentiate between all family members. Works well with HomeKit. Going to purchase another soon for that surround sound !

great sound love the auto volume and great look and controls

I have been intrigued by this product since released, and frustrated with Apple's pricing practices and desire to be a "top tier" company by only offering high end high price products. This device always seemed a bit overpriced and unnecessary for me as I have a nice sound system connected to my TV, but I wanted something for Home Kit control. I like Apple's focus on encryption and privacy especially with the alway on always listening home controlling devices like this. I have apple Home Kit enabled devices in my house, and wanted a quick way for my pet sitter to turn them on and off when she comes in. I tried the Amazon dot last year, but found it difficult to setup and you need to have the always listening feature on. It also required setting up my already existing already working HomeKit enabled devices in the Alexa app which was hit and miss. I was waiting and hoping that Apple would release a cheaper version of this with less speaker and more control. Then Best Buy had this on holiday sale for 100 dollars off retail price. I figured it was worth a try knowing I had time to return it if it did not work. I set it up in seconds yesterday, and immediately transferred the podcast I was listening to on my phone to the speaker. I often wear headphones around the house and listen to music or podcasts throughout the day. This makes it easy to transfer what I am listening to via my phone airplay button and I can hear it clearly from anywhere in the downstairs. It sounds amazing and is so much easier to use to listen to anything on my phone. Yes you can use it without the Hey Siri feature listening. You can press and hold the center of the top panel which prompts Siri so I can turn off the "always listening" or if it does that annoying digital assistant thing where it mishears something I say that sounds vaguely like "Hey Siri" and becomes disruptive (This has not happened yet). I also like that in the Home app on my iPhone I can turn off the Home pod analytics which will not share my always on always listening recordings with Apple or anyone else. I wish the $200 price was not a promotion, but the retail price. After 1.5 days it has proven its worth and made me realize something I was overtly critical of and uninterested in is as good as I was sure it was not. I like being proven wrong. I am not sure I would pay $300 for it at full price, but if it keeps impressing me like this I might eat those words as well.

Surprisingly great sound. I now have several of these that I used to replace Echo devices and the sound is better. Siri is responsive and I like that these have Thread built in. I also like the intercom feature.

I had been considering adding the full sized HomePod to my home and after reading reviews of the HomePod mini figured I'd go for the mini first. So glad I did! For less than $100 you get amazing sound from a small footprint AND functionality that compliments ANY home…ESPECIALLY those that already have  devices in their ecosystem. If you're looking for an incredible device that just works, has amazing sound, and was made to fit perfectly into your  home….gets the HomePod mini!

We had Alexa running our whole house. And then Bezos started overstepping in really weird ways, and we wanted him out. And now he is. Apple keeps our data private. We like it that way. The voice recognition is far better than Alexa. The only issue that we have is that this runs on the Matter protocol, which means that we had to replace all of our light bulbs in our house because HomePod does not work on regular SmartThings protocol, and there is no way to get it to work. Matter, or nothing. Which sucks. But it was worth it to keep Bezos from monitoring everything that is happening in our house.

I love this Apple pod, it is very loud and it is a great traveling size speaker. Great for parties, and it is very easy to use and connects to your phone. It is very loud too for a small speaker it works great with Siri.

Sounds great! Love the easy setup and seamless integration with other Apple devices.

$100 well spent! I have two HomePods in my room, but for Christmas we got our Daughter the HomePod Mini and she couldn't be happier! Even me.. I'm amazed by it!! My HomePods are HUGE, they're totally awesome, but they're HUGE. Hers is so tiny I can't even get it and the sound quality is AMAZING! Plus, we can airplay the two HomePods with the HomePod Mini to all play together for an actual houseparty!! We have a smart house too, so she can control the lights and whatnot.. even intercom us now. The intercom alone for most parents will be appreciated over the normal "MOOOM!" or "DAAAAD!" which is great.

Very good! Ofc coming from apple small and actually has better sound quality and has more features then the first one the big one! Would rec if you wanted a great speaker!

This speaker is the size of an orange but it sounds AMAZING. The bass is great, and the vocal is clear without distortion even at high volume. When there's a deal on this I'm getting another to set up a stereo pairing.

Great sound quality and surprisingly it has some good bass to it. Very portable. Easy use. Great loudness too

Amazing sound from such a small device. I bought this as we were starting to get into the smart home stuff and being we mostly have apple devices it was easy to setup and get going. Just dont change your wifi router after install as it can be nearly impossible for it to work the same. It could be the new router or something else but it did not want to connect and still sometimes acts out. I have bought 2 so far and may buy another one to have full home coverage. It also works as a great speaker for watching content from your Apple TV. The only real down point is that this speaker is not bluetooth and will only work with Apple devices as far as i've found.
