Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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.

Great little speaker. It’s much clearer sounding and louder than the Amazon Echo Dot. I love how it helps add to the home hub and it extends the reach of my AirTag locators for my puppy who wears an AirTag in the backyard.

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 !

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

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.

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 LOVE THIS !!! I bake a lot and like to listen to music in the kitchen, using my earbuds made it hard to hear timers!! NOW all I have to do is tell it "play my playlist" and since I have multiple it asks which one!!! ITS AWESOME and helpful!!!

One of the best purchases I’ve made at Best Buy. The sound quality is exceptional, and I highly recommend using it throughout your home. Additionally, you’ll receive a discount if you purchase it specifically at Best Buy.

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.

Overall, I recommend this to a friend. I bought this for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves it. It perfect for listening to music, and the speakers are just such great quality. It's about the size of my hand, but very loud.

This thing is great! I use it with my Apple TV for a great sound experience. Siri is great for all my smart home tech!

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.

So easy to set up and easy to use! I’m a homebody and enjoy having this speaker blasting whatever podcast or playlist I want throughout the day. Insane quality!

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?

Connects with a single cable and is easy to setup. Needs to be connected to WiFi. Spotify users: There is a semi lag because it supports Spotify only through AirPlay, still usable though. Don’t buy this for purely for playing music, there’s better options for less money for that. Buy this if you want a semi smart speaker that easily works with playing from your iPhone or Mac etc. That being said. sound quality is better than you expect for its size. Fills my small bedroom quite well and serves it purpose. A living room can work too but be ready to set it at max volume to fill that space. Bass is good for size but still lacks for hip hop. Overall, could be priced maybe 20 less but it’s Apple so you know how that goes. Best smart speaker for iPhone users.

Sounds amazing and very interactive with Apple TV and smart appliances

I’m already in the Apple Eco System, so I thought I’d give this a try. Love: Sound! Great highs and lows plus fills my office. Linkable, haven’t tried yet, but plan to at my house. Compact. Perfectly fits on a shelf in the corner. Connectivity. Touch my phone to the Pod and walla! Music comes through! Downsides: NOT Bluetooth! Therefore, when WiFi is down, no music, no connectivity. If there is a work around, I haven’t discovered it yet. Cable. The cable is color coordinated and braided, but there is no battery option. To move to another room, you are stuck with unplugging. All in all, a good speaker for the price if you are already committed to the Applesphere.

Awesome little speaker, very helpful for Siri and HomeKit, but even just a basic music player it’s loud and has nice features. Even speakers without assistants and similar audio quality are more expensive just because they have a battery and aux jack. If you’re fine with WiFi or AirPlay and don’t need a portable speaker, this is a great option for apple users and will give you HomeKit capabilities. Only downside for me is the lack of native Spotify support, but you can still play Spotify on your phone or iPad via airplay.
