Customer Ratings & Reviews

Okay. I do love Apple and their products. I had some WiFi issues that made setting this unit up very difficult. ( finally had to part with my airport extreme after five years). After I replaced my router all was fine. Asus AX88U which is awesome. Set up on this unit was not bad at all with my iPhone 11 Pro. The sound quality is very good and I like pairing it with my Apple TV as a great external speaker. I love being able to make calls and text, and speaking to my girlfriend on the HomePod has been a great hands free experience. I wish Siri had the breadth of function that Alexa and Google Home do-but it’s still not a bad experience. I got mine for $199. At $300 I couldn’t justify the purchase. If you have an iPhone, iPad, iMac and use Apple Music I would recommend this. Hopefully Apple can improve on Siri’s functionality. It’s a shame that they started the whole personal assistant deal and have fallen so far behind. Although I will say she now can tell me how long it will take to get someplace (specific to contacts or business with road names included). I like the voice recognition as Echo doesn’t have that feature. I can also turn my Apple TV on and off which is lazy but fun. I control my lights and switches seamlessly too. Bottom line is it’s a fantastic Apple person product for $199. I also have a SoundTouch 20 and 30 so I didn’t really need another speaker. When the price dropped I grabbed one. I hope this helps!

I presently own a Alexa speaker and wanted to add a better one for music and also back speakers for my sound bar... I purchased 2 of them so they may sink up with one another. Must say very easy set-up and work with all my apple devices with out a issue... I also use it for my apple tv as its primary speaker for all my shows and app's much clearer the TV it self... Went out and bout another two for bedroom (also has a announcement feature). If your looking for a small stereo like sound I would get two

Love that the color options help blend this wonderful little speaker right into the decor. The room filling sound from such a tiny speaker is quite amazing, and somehow has enough bass to give a warm and pleasant full range experience. 

Love the sound, fills the room. I’m currently on my 4th mini, first space gray. One cool feature when you have multiples home pod, you can play music throughout your house(perfect for Christmas music in December).

Open box home pod mini was totally worth it. I do love the regular sized HomePod for a deeper clarity. But this one is great if your on a budget and want to save on electricity.

Amazing sound quality, great design, and very loud for the small size.

I bought this for my wife for her first mothers day , and the smile on her face when she opened it, told me I did right . She uses it for everything , she says she wants more so it has friends to talk to. But honestly I think it’s a great addition to the apple family , I finally have an alarm that wakes her up that’s not me aha. But honestly it’s great not having to pull out my phone to use Siri when I’m cooking dinner for the family. My only complaint is that it’s not portable, that would make this the best electronic we own in the house if it was.

If you are an Apple person then this speaker is for you. I took a gamble as I have the Bose SoundTouch speakers throughout the house. Bose announced that they will be supporting airplay 2 in 2019 and I wanted this to be a speaker to include in my whole house system. Even if Bose does not end up supporting airplay 2, I will keep this speaker. It integrates with Siri well and even after a couple days of use, I have found myself using it more than I thought. I currently have it in my kitchen. You can ask it (Siri) about sports, news, and weather, and will give you updates from ESPN, a variety of other news outlets, and weather from the Weather channel. It has great bass for the size of the speaker and it sounds great overall. I have not tried to connect via Bluetooth yet. Set up was simple, especially with an iPhone. You literally hold your phone next to the speaker and you are basically done. Works great with Apple Music.

It has been great having the HomePod mini! It gets really loud and is easy to connect to. You can connect by getting close with your phone or casting to it via Wi-Fi. You can also communicate with Siri with it which is also convenient!

I enjoy being in the apple eco system, having these HomePods are a blessing. Sound quality is really good for these small speaker. Don’t expect these to have crazy loud sounds like a sub bar or surround sound home theater. These are minimal speakers with great mids and high sounds for the price. I have bought 2 of them, and connected them across my room. It sounds like the action is happening around me, then from the sounds coming from the tv in front of me. I will say they do sometimes lose sync with my Apple TV or Wi-Fi and the sounds is off sync. I don’t know if its updating or i just need to reset them. I usually unplug it from the wall outlet and let it reboot and it’ll end up, syncing up with my Apple TV. Ifs its just one off sync, then it’ll sync up with the other one that’s playing.

It's a great speaker; the sound quality and area of effect is actually pretty surprising! It fills the whole room and has great peaks and bass for how tiny this is. As for everything else... homekit controls are pretty bad. Siri control is just as bad as IOS. But as a speaker it is pretty great!

We purchased a pair of black home-pod mini's and set them us to hear left and right channel music in a large room. They sound as good as much larger speakers we have previously owned and enjoy having siri around to handle some basic talks as well.

The perfect piece of tech to add to your Apple home ecosystem. The mini pod is the perfect size to add to your bedroom so it’s not too bulky but still a statement piece and makes it so easy to pair other smart home devices. 10/10 recommend

Speaker is on my desk and main reason I got it was for homekit with my nanoleafs and alarms use. Its integrates with your iphone pretty nicely as well. Packs a punch for size and audio quality is respectable.

Actually impressed with the sound output, it’s compact and set-up was fairly straight forward. Stereo Pair is definitely a better experience if you can afford two of them. Wish they still sold the original HomePod. 4 of these in a quad pair with Dolby Atmos would be awesome if ever supported.

Very user friendly and easy to use with my Apple TV and iPhone! So much better sounding than my TV speakers, should have got this sooner!

Awesome little speaker. I expected a lot from Apple and I am happy with it. Good for a regular sized room. Bass is potent, I definitely enjoy it more with the bass option turned off. Its dope you'll like it!

I love it has great sound. I like that is small but the sound is great. I want get one every room in the house

I am writing this review in hopes this helps others thinking to buy them. This review is for 2 HomePod mini stereo paired. I bought one black and one white. They have to be paired in the home app on an iPhone and then updated separately. This is a pain, but be patient. Once paired, you can use with airplay. I personally just use them as a pair of speakers for my Mac mini. You can use airplay, or actually use as the audio output. I have issues with one speaker not working while the output, always works as airplay. You cannot use the EQ in airplay, only as output. Sometimes there is a gap in seamless tracks, sometimes there isn't. But all in all, I am very pleased with them. They sound great. I can use with all my apple devices. I do not use Siri, but it is possible. There is an intercom I also do not use. It is not as simple as bluetooth speakers. They do not charge, but do require a USB-c power block (included, whew). My Mac mini would not power them despite having 4 usb-c jacks. Music and movies sound great. 360 sound. I used to have the JBL BT speaker, but it died. I am not mad I replaced it with these. There are also stands that I recommend for cable management.

I have been wanting a HomePod since they came out. I finally bought one. This thing is amazing, the sound is real crisp and clear, just the right amount of bass and is room filling. Our neighbors had a little bobcat removing rock from their backyard, I listened to music with this and drowned out every sound being made. Siri works great and much better than the past. I also like this so much better than the Amazon Echo we got with our smart home. Only thing I don’t like, Alarm.com, our alarm system, does not have a patch to operate with Apple HomeKit. So we keep the echo to control some parts of our smart home. Other than that, we are very satisfied with this amazing smart speaker.
