Homepod mini is a great alternative if you have a smaller space. Comparing to the original Homepod, the original homepod has a better sound if you have a pair. Easy to install and synchronize with the apple brand.

The Apple HomePod Mini is a bit of a letdown from a company I’ve come to expect greatness from, especially as I’ve consolidated most of my gear into the Apple ecosystem. I had high hopes of using Siri as my go-to voice interface for home control, but this little speaker doesn’t quite deliver. It can be frustratingly slow and unresponsive at times, and too often, answers to my questions require me to pull out my iPhone to see the details—a clunky experience that feels half-baked. That said, it’s not all bad. The sound quality is solid for its size, making it a decent pick for music, and it handles basic home automation tasks—like controlling lights or locks—well enough. But for a company like Apple, “good enough” feels underwhelming. I can’t help but imagine how they could dominate this space with a HomePod that has a screen and some of that Apple Intelligence magic baked in. Maybe it’s coming soon.

Love this little speaker for the size, sound quality and volume! Plus having Siri throughout my home is so much easier and less noticeable than the huge original HomePod.

I bought one of these to listen to music and use with my apple tv. It sounded great, nice bass and sounds better than my wireless bose. I just bought a second one and use them as a stereo pair and WOW they sound even better. Siri seems to be able to understand all my commands, even quiet commands from across the room. They are plenty loud enough for me and better yet with no distortion.

I purchased this to pair with another to act as a stereo pair in the bedroom. I also have it connected to an AppleTV 4k as external speakers and they sound great. Setup was extremely simple using Apple's built in wizard and I'm very impressed with the amount of bass and clarity of sound that I get from these small speakers. I will say that the homepod software can be a little buggy sometimes especially when Airplaying from an iPhone as the music will sometimes just stop playing. But overall I am very happy with it

Great sound in such a small speaker and reasonable price! The size is super convenient as I can take it with me when I travel. I like it so much, I plan to buy more for around my home.

Never expected sound this good from something this small. I already have the full sized HomePod which to me has been great. The main pain points for any HomePod are if you're not really vested in the Apple ecosystem. If you are, like I am, then these are fantastic add-on products to build out enhanced sound and HomeKit devices. The sound from the mini is truly impressive for it's size. I know there are arguments regarding sounds and quality and value all day everywhere. Sound quality is subjective to the user. It's just the way it is. For me, this little guy fills out a corner or a desk with lows, mids, and highs. Very much worth the cost here.

My family loves these. We also have HomePods in our basement. These minis were quick and easy to setup to a mesh system and paired them together, each on a different side of our living room. Absolutely no issues. Definitely sounds better with stereo pair than without. We can also have all HomePods and both mini play at the same time in different floors and rooms just by asking. Sounds far better than the echoes or shows we have from Amazon, even newer ones. We also use the automation so when we get home or unlock our door, music plays and lights come on. All easy to setup. Definitely glad we got them and plan on getting more.

Perfect mini speaker! Definitely worth the price! Honestly cheap for an Apple product. Can connect to tv and speaker simultaneously, has amazing sound, bass and very loud!

When the HomePod came out I was a bit skeptical, especially at it's normal price point. But this is now my third that I have purchased. I bought this one for use in my guest bedroom. The other two are in the Master Bedroom and my office at work. Hands down, the sound quality cannot be beat by anything else in this size package. I was blown away by the quality. It's got enough volume for listening to music in almost any situation. It's perfect for a bedroom or office. For outdoor use or larger party environments there are some larger speakers from Sony I'd recommend... but for just wanting some great sounding music and the ease of saying "Hey Siri, play me some..." it can't be beat. Setup is the easiest of ANY smart speaker I've used IF you're in the Apple ecosystem. I have Google smart speakers and/or displays in every room room of my house and all my lighting is Philips Hue. The HomePod was by far the easiest to setup. And although Siri is not as "smart" as Google Assistant, the microphone quality on the HomePod is far better at catching commands from a distance, and I get far fewer errors with the HomePod. Often times my other smart speakers don't hear me without shouting, or they hear something different than what I said. The HomePod hears me every time and more accurately, even with music at a fairly loud volume, than any other smart speaker I've used. So although Siri can't do as much as Google Assistant, when I interact with my smart speakers in my home, I much prefer interacting with the HomePod. And setup was so much easier (if you're already an Apple user). I do plan on replacing all my other smart speakers in every room with HomePods when my budget permits me to do so.

A tiny speaker with intelligent assistant and packs a mighty punch for its size. Competitors’ smart speakers such as Google and Alexa are good and equally capable but, to me, do not have nearly a refined crystal clear audio. Siri can be, as every smart assistant, a bit fickle with certain commands at time. Yet I find that this for now is a common feature of all intelligent speakers. I’m partial to the HomePod and its mini sibling because of my familiarity with each. I wouldn’t trade Apple devices for [fill in your favorite smart home companion’s brand] because it’s been overall a great device to use. 5 stars and 5 thumbs up!

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

We have had sound bars and tried multiple different bluetooth speakers with our tv. The sound bars didn't give off the rich stereo sound, and the bluetooth speakers all had lag problems. We bought two of the HomePods and paired them with our Apple TV 4K that is hooked up to our TV, and we finally have amazing stereo sound... and it's from tiny little speakers that don't take up a ton of your shelf space. Very happy with these.

Bought open box. Great quality. I bought one a year before and you wouldn't know the difference.

This smaller HomePod puts out excellent sound. I have not tried pairing two of them to enable the stereo sound. However one by itself in a room sounds amazing. With that being said it’s sound is not on the same level as the larger HomePod. If you want something you can crank up and have bass come from, then you’ll want the regular HomePod. I have two regular ones so I decided to get these in order to add to my Apple ecosystem and have more speakers throughout the house to play music from as I move about. Or have a way to control Apple enabled devices throughout my home, if my phone wasn’t nearby. Overall I would recommend this speaker.

I am using two of these in a stereo pair for my apple tv 4k (1st generation) speakers. They are substantially better than probably all TV speakers in this configuration. I have never heard any dropouts or connection issues, and there is no lag. The midrange and treble is excellent and the soundstage is wide with the stereo configuration. There is some bass tones but not deep, low bass. Overall, very impressive for the small size. It is very nice to be able to change the TV volume directly on the units.

Pretty awesome! I got two of them because I realized I was wasting money and just being frustrated trying to find two speakers that would connect seamlessly and consistently. These fit the bill, for me. Sound great, easy to set up, I now use Hey Siri way more often, and love how easy it is to stuff to my lists, and also get the answer to whatever random question I have at the moment. Initially there were some intra Apple equipment quarrels about which device would answer, but it’s gotten better. Wish they could work with the Apple HomePod the same way as the do with each other but understand the limitations.

I have two at home and when I want to clean or watch a movie I connect them Via Apple TV and it’s just perfect! I’ve seen videos of audio files nick pick at it but I mean it’s $100 each for what they offer if your in the Apple eco system it’s beyond perfect! I love the updates it gets connectivity ease of use it works for my every day light use they get decently loud two together of course. One is loud too but two, yea much better.

Sound quality is good, but the volume level could be higher for open or large rooms. I was under the impression that you could stream the same music across multiple apple devices, such as listen to apple music on the HomePod and Apple TV at the same time, you can not. You can only listen on multiple HomePods. Love the feature of being able to intercom in the house and from outside the house. The ability use the same features as your phone without your phone in the room is extremely handy. My only real two complaint is that the cord is permanently attached, it would be nice to have the ability to lengthen the cord for optimum placement in the room and the ability to add an auxiliary cord so you could add it to a home theater amp.

Very easy to setup. Excellent sound quality for a device this size. Cannot use Spotify with your voice commands. But will play if you start it from your phone first. Hoping Apple and Spotify will get this issue resolved in a future update.
