Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love apple products and this one looked so cool and hen it launched that I had to have one and try it out... I was disappointed to see that it was not wireless. My kid is a wiz with Bluetooth speakers so I had her pair her device with the product. The music would stop when she would text people back, and I had trouble removing her paired device to sync my own device with it. Otherwise the sound was good, the design looks sleek and the size is convenient, but I would not recommend this product at this time.

Great Sound, nice design, easy to used and nice color.

I had high hopes and was kind of let down. Don’t get me wrong, the speaker sounds great for its size! You can hear the base and the volume goes up extremely high. Siri stays on the entire time the speaker is plugged in... my problem is related to the connection to my phone. This speaker picks and chooses when it wants to connect to my phone. I have the latest iPhone, latest update, etc. this thing just has a mind of its own. To avoid me throwing it out of the window, sometimes I just have to unplug it for awhile and walk away. Despite this, I love how attentive Siri is no matter how far away you are and that Pandora can be used if you choose.

The sound quality on these are decent, but if you are able to pair 2 to create a stereo sound, that would be the best scenario. Since I am in the Apple ecosystem, these are a no brainer and I like to listen to music throughout the day. They do not get very loud, but when you have multiple ones around the house, they are adequate.

I love this speaker a lot. The Hey Siri detection is second to absolutely nothing thanks to those much-vaunted "beamforming" microphones, which also make phone calls nice and clear even if you're 30 feet away speaking at a normal volume. But most importantly, the sound is wonderful for its size and great for really anything. It's a punchy little speaker with outsize bass that handles anything you can throw at it. Like other reviewers have said, Apple did a great job of tuning this speaker to communicate the intent of anything it plays, so aggressive music will make you angry and calm, beautiful music will bring a tear to your eye. It goes extremely loud with no distortion and the "tunes itself to your surroundings" part of the sound is really everything it says it is. It sounds huge and fills up rooms if placed correctly and you'll really never get any "meh" sound out of it. However, you are essentially required to have Apple Music to get the most out of it, and not owning an iPhone will mean that you just bought a very nice piece of useless decor, as you won't even be able to set it up without an iOS device (sorry, Mac owners, you can only play to the speaker and control the queue once you've initialized it with an iOS device.) You can airplay to it using your phone if you're a Spotify kind of person, but it's a little lamer as you can't ask Siri to play music from Spotify or any other service. One last thing: I have had some glitches with it where it won't play music from the HomePod, it will only allow you to airplay and everything else acts like it's playing but immediately shut off. I contacted Apple and was immediately escalated past senior support up to what was basically the HomePod team, and my advisor told me that it was a known issue and it was being worked on, with a fix anticipated in the next update. Given that the next update is hotly anticipated (as it's going to include AirPlay 2 and multi-room sound as well as HomePod pairing), I can't wait. Other than that, not a bad word to say about this thing. I adore it in Space Grey, and smudge it in White. I've definitely gotten my money's worth!

Cannot believe the sound coming out of this thing. It is so small but the bigness of the sound is AMAZING! Wish Apple would make something like Google Nest devices that have a screen so you could manage your Apple Home automations. We can dream, can't we?

Great speakers for AppleTv. Using them in a bedroom and they work great. They aren’t room shakers but they are very clear and deliver more than you would think them capable of. Especially for the price. Only note I would give is apparently they only work as a pair if your AppleTv is connected to the wifi. I previously had mine hardwired but they would not connect right until i switch to wifi and they instantly worked

For Product: I’m happy with the HomePod mini and it works ax expected. Purchase Experience: before heading to the store I checked to make sure the store I wanna price match with is in the approved list and once at the register, the cashier asked the manager if they can match the price and the manager said “ no, because the offer is online only.” I had to step aside and go through the policy again and found out that as long as the product is ready to ship, and the store is in the list of approved competitors, they should honor the price match. I had to go to the cashier and show them the policy and the cashier had to “convince” the manager to follow Best Buy policy. The price from the competitor was below the minimum allowed price, which I was ok with whatever the minimum allowed price is. (Needed to have it on the same day). The other thing is that the website shows that the product comes with 4 offers, and cashier told me that the customer cannot choose which one to receive. (He tried to see if he can choose, but he couldn’t. It’s the system’s limitation)

For such a small device, the sound quality is excellent. And, it is easy to move from room to room. So convenient. Its ease of set-up and use is excellent, as well.

Okay we bought two of these little speakers. Let me tell you about the sound. Amazing! Our two daughters love these things. They sound so good for the size. I couldn’t believe my ears. They don’t distort when you turn them up. Oh man can they get loud. You would think that something this small couldn’t produce such crazy loud sound but it does. Now if you’re looking for crazy base, of course these are not the ones. What I can say is that I love the true detailed sound that these speakers produce. Very clear, clean and loud sound. I love them and will be going back to buy more for the other rooms in the house.

When they said this was a mini HomePod, they truly meant a MINI! It’s so small but packs a lot of power. Small, compact, super easy to program and the audio gets pretty loud for the size. The only complaint is the fact it is wired.

HomePod Mini The HomePod mini is a decent item. The sound is cool for the size. I like the ability to hand off music from the iPhone to the HomePod. The Siri feature isn’t that great, though. I feel that Siri on the HomePod mini is limited and can’t do most thing that Siri can do on the iPhone. BestBuy As far as gettin the item from BestBuy, I originally bought a white one in early December as open box in “excellent” condition but the device came with a very strong perfume or, believe it or not, Raid smell. I know Raid sounds weird but it reminded me of that smell; very chemically or fabricated. I was disappointed that the item came that way being that it was listed as excellent. That wasn’t excellent at all. I ended up exchanging it a month later when new HomePod minis were available.

Love the HomePod mini. Set up was very simple, sound is good and size is perfect. Very disappointed in how Best Buy packaged it in a large box with absolutely no padding or protection so it can just bounce around. Luckily it was ok.

The HomePod mini gets the job done even though it doesn't have heavy bass, the sound is very clean and pleasant. It's easy to pair with the iPhone and stream with any music app. The sound goes out in 360 degree direction which encompasses evenly across the room or living space. I don't have to worry about turning it on because it's ready to play audio anytime I need to stream to it. It's a great small speaker for the price that replaced my older speakers that were cheaper and had distorted bass. It's perfect for an apartment, small room or dorm setting for a clean sound.

Excellent sound quality and volume especially considering how small it is. Siri commands work just as well as on iPhone. My only complaint is more Apple wide, which is the deliberate lack of interoperability with anything non Apple (including bluetooth). So, no, it is not a bluetooth speaker. No, it will not work with Android. No, there are no ports. No, it is not rechargeable/have batteries. Yes, it is a Homekit hub and also can control Matter devices natively. Yes, it supports 5g wi-fi signals n band only.

Good little speaker great sound quality and good price! This has decent bass not really low like the HomePod but I would spend the extra $99 and get a second one !

I have purchased two Home Pod minis from Best Buy. Overall, very happy with the product. The Home Pod mini works very well with my iPhone, which is the primary device I use. The Home Pod mini can function on its own as it were. It will just play songs in a certain genre independent of what is playing on your iphone. Two Home Pod minis can work together with your iphone. This can be very convenient. What disappointed me is that two Home Pod minis cannot serve with your laptop. I don't know why Apple could not get this to work. I think there is some sort of a fix, but it is not intuitive.

Sooo glad I bought one for both my kids. Now I want one! Great sound from such a small device. The intercom is also a cool feature. Better than Alexa.

This little speaker has fantastic sound! I am using it in the master bathroom. Even at a lower volume setting the sound fills the space. I can hear the music even while in the shower. It's very simple to use. I held my iPhone next to it and the setup was automatic. Since I have Apple Music subscription it plays whatever I tell it to play. Also, if I walk into the bathroom with my iPhone already playing something, such as music or audiobook, I just hold the phone above this speaker and the content transfers to the speaker and start playing there. Very satisfied. I order more for the house.

I got this for my dad for Christmas. He absolutely loves it. This speaker is tiny and lightweight but for the size it sounds amazing. Vocals are clear and crisp. Bass is decent, it’s tight and punchy. It’s not going to blow you away with bass, but it does enough to make the music sound great. Even at its highest sound level this speaker does not distort. Siri works like what you would expect it to from Siri. This is more for sound then it is for its smart home capability. Overall my dad was really happy and I was also satisfied with it myself. Good speaker for $99 and amazing sound for the size.
