I bought this to put in the kitchen so I can still hear what I’m watching on the TV because the speakers aren’t too great. Setup was very easy, as you’d expect from Apple, but the best thing is the sound quality. I was incredibly surprised by how clear it is but mostly the by the bass. Obviously it’s not much compared to the original HomePod but it still packs a punch.
If you’ve been debating on it at any point, just go for it. The price is perfect for what you’re getting and you won’t be disappointed.

Pretty good product. Sound is good and really loud. Easy to set up. Only complaint is that it doesn’t always connect like I want it to. Also a noticeable delay before Siri responds.

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 bought a set of these for my living room to use as a stereo pair. I love using them with my Apple TV, and I can use them in somewhat of a surround sound way by also having my sound bar selected for sound output. Very good addition to my home theater setup. The blue looks awesome with everything else in my living room. Plus the other features are great for just listening to music and asking Siri to set timers and what the weather’s like today.

I already have a big HomePod and love it, this mini I just bought for my basement workshop does not disappoint. The sound is full and plenty to hear well at maximum volume. It won't blow you out of the room but it has a decent high volume and the sound is not lacking for anything. Speaking to have it take notes, set alarms, timers, add items to lists is a great feature you will actually use a lot! Good sound, small or not it's got good sound and I'm very pleased with it and setup is such a breeze with an iPad, or iPhone.

I have ten of these in my house. It’s great being able to listen to an audiobook or music all over the house while I’m doing things. Don’t have to worry about charging my headphones.

Amazing sound in this little package. Almost as good as its bigger sibling. Don't think of it as a competitor for Amazon and Google devices. Amazon's primary goal is to sell you stuff. Google's primary goal is to sell you (your data, that is). Their "assistants" are pretty good at what they do but the speakers don't sound all that great. Apple is about the music; they don't sell your data. Siri does what it's supposed to do. HomePod and HomePod mini are for music and they work beautifully and sound great.

We love it! It’s the perfect size for a room. We have the regular size one in the kitchen

If you are in to the Apple system, the mini is perfect for small rooms with plenty of available volume. While it cannot reproduce deep base, unlike it’s bigger brother it does not try to produce bass sounds that are out of it’s normal range, which is a plus. As long as you don’t crank it all the way up, the sound is very good given its price point. If you use IOT devices using Apple’s HomeKit, it can be your required hub and enable vast improvement in Bluetooth connected devices that use Thread.

Grabbed three of these and have not been disappointed. I never would spring for the original HomePod due to the cost, but the price on these allowed me to have one in the den, living room, and the bedroom. When you have them all playing in sync it’s the easiest ‘whole home audio’ you can get. Handoff between my phone, Powerbeats pro headphones, and the mini isn’t as smooth as I like but it doesn’t take much to get it corrected when it does mess up. One of my best audio purchases in years.

APPLE makes the best smart home products especially if you’re just using it to listen to music or control, smart lights or thermostats or even a molekuke air purifier. I think the HomePod is definitely the best smart speaker there is I have four of them this is my first mini for my office and it sounds amazing especially compared to the bigger gen one and gen two HomePods best bang for your buck.

Let's start with the good!
They sound really great for the size.
I've got two and I love listening to the same thing upstairs AND downstairs at the same time. Pretty cool!
They're easy to connect and when they work well they work great.
The downsides...
They rely on a wifi connection. Our wifi cuts out when we're hosting multiple people at our house and that is EXACTLY when we WANT TO USE THEM.
So they cut out constantly because they rely on wifi instead of just Bluetooth connectivity.
The biggest con, is that they don't work with Spotify, which is where all of my girlfriends playlists are (I bought them for HER for Christmas).
So when you want to control it using "Hey Siri" it starts playing apple music and the playlists are straight trash unless you go through and remake all of your playlists.
So I created a playlist for them to play so I could set and forget for an afternoon.
Except it kept playing from the album the songs were from instead of the order of the playlist.
Apple Music is doing great things with Lossless audio but the playlists and radios are a DEAL BREAKER.
They work great for having a timer that you can set and listen to from anywhere in the house.
But honestly... We're probably going to return them.
The smart home technology is just not there yet and having a reliable Bluetooth speaker that you can just bring around with you instead of having it plugged in all the time and needing wifi outweighs any of the smart tech advantages.
They WOULD be so cool.
If they worked how they were supposed to and worked with Spotify.
I have everything Apple.
iPad Pro 12.9 2020 with Magic Keyboard and Pencil (so does my gf.)
Our business runs from the MacBook Pro M1 Max and M1 13''.
Amazing technologies.
I even have the AirPods Max,
I'm a bonafide Apple sheep.... but these things suck.

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.

So far it's been great. I had Google home Mini's (Free or very cheap price paid) and these sound better and are more useful because I have apple devices. Yes, you can't mount them to a wall, but I can live with that inconvenience. They are a great size. I will definitely be getting another one. So my whole house is covered. The full size is still a better option I think for bigger rooms. I use mine in the kitchen, bathroom, office. Full size in the bedroom and AppleTV/Soundbar for the living room.
