    Nice Device for an Apartment

    I have other smart home devices, but have more Apple phones, iPad, etc.. Did I really need another device in my apartment?? I purchased the small device, had it delivered at work, and hooked it up at home. Best decision I ever made. Such a small speaker, but the sound has been perfect. Taping my iPhone to transfer music once I'm home has been very handy. I'll purchase a matching Homepod Mini in another week, to experience stereo sound.

    One of the few Apple products that’s priced right

    For such a small device the volume gets decently loud. The microphone is excellent and can sometimes detect a “hey Siri” whisper in the same room. Voice recognition is good. Siri is responsive and fast. I previously had these paired to my AppleTV to work in stereo since my TVs speakers are bad. Worked well enough but not entirely seamless. If you want a smart speaker and very integrated in the Apple ecosystem this will be excellent for you.

    I have multiple HomePod Minis scattered through my home matched with Philips Hue lights and Lutron Caseta switches and now never have to manually switch on or off a light. I just say, Hey Siri, turn off the kitchen lights. The sound is BIG considering the small size of the speakers. I do have Sonos speakers also through the house, but the HomePod Mini produces such rich sound that I am happy playing them instead of the Sonos speakers.

    Got the HomePod mini on sale at a great price. I set it up in my small office and it sounds fantastic for a small speaker. It isn't portable so it stays on my desk and it won't go anywhere...my portables are always borrowed and nowhere to be found, but this one plugs in.

    I’ve been slowly building my smart home over a few years. The last piece I needed was the voice command options that the HomePod brought. I wasn’t willing to pay 300 for a HomePod that would essentially just be used as an expensive Alexa. The HomePod mini is perfect. The small speaker packs a big punch. I can hear and be heard through the speaker anywhere in my apartment. I trust Apple with my always on microphones much more than Amazon or google.

    These are fabulous. I have them all over the house. They connect all the rest of my devices for the Apple Home and are great little speakers with a lot of punch.

    Better sound than the others

    I was originally waiting for the return of the HomePod but who knows if it will ever return. I was in the Best Buy store for something unrelated to speakers or home assistants when I stopped by the Apple display and heard the mini’s. Well those sound pretty good for such little speakers and promptly bought 2 so I could have stereo or use in multiple rooms if the stereo mode wasn’t great. Stereo mode is excellent. Will have to buy more for other rooms. Setup was the usual easy Apple experience. Plug it in. Put your iPhone near it. Click the icon that appears on your phone. Done. Put the iPhone next to the second one and repeated the process used in the first one. It did an update which took a few minutes and they were ready to go. If you don’t have any Apple devices you can’t set these up. Overall I’m happy with the mini’s. I had the realistic expectation that the bass wouldn’t be booming and that I was going to be stuck with “hey Siri” limited functionality. I just use Siri to adjust volume, skip a song, start/stop music. Haven’t used it to make calls or do any messaging. These a great for background or foreground music. I’ve taken them outside on the deck was able to enjoy music without annoying the neighbors.

    Easy set up, sound is very good. Slightly less than full sized home pod, but perfect for smaller rooms.

    Little device with big sound

    I bought this to connect to my MacBook Air when in docked mode connected to a monitor for better sound. I wasn’t expecting a lot from such a small device, but I was shocked when it played for the first time. The sound is full and balanced. It has nice “apple” features that I didn’t realize I needed until I had them for example, when I’m listening to Apple Music from my phone to the HomePod I can pull up a YouTube video and the sound of the video come through the phone speakers as normal while still having the music playing in the background on the HomePod instead of the video sound from YouTube taking over on the HomePod causing me to go back to Apple Music and restart the song. Very unexpected feature that i now enjoy having

    Room-Filling Sound

    Excellent, room-filling sound! Also great if you have HomeKit devices, as you’ll be able to control them with Siri.

    Decent Audio for the Price

    The sound quality is pretty good for the price. The HomePod Mini does not take much space. There is not much distortion as you increase the volume. I wish the iOS software were a lot better or easier to control the HomePod Mini. The HomePod Mini can be annoying when your iPhone is near it because it will vibrate and pop up a notification to play audio even if you are two to three feet away. Lucky, there is a setting to disable having the iPhone near the HomePod Mini to play audio. The stereo mode works excellent if you have a pair of HomePod Mini speakers.

    Magnificent Speaker for its Size

    Impressive speaker! Pair it up with another HomePod mini for a grand stereo experience! Mids and highs are amazing for a speaker of this size; may even be better than the original HomePod. Bass is not as good as the original HomePod obviously; but for a speaker of this size, it is a lot more than you expect! Just wish that Apple had the option to manually balance the volume on the left and right channel, when stereo paired.

    Works well. I’m not hot on putting ears my house but, probably no different from my phone. I tend to trust Apple with security a little better than other social media and data selling companies. Understands you even with music blaring! Speaker is good quality but, I still use my Bose mini for higher end sound. Unit is not wireless and cord is permanently attached. Probably more durable this way but, I hope it doesn’t need replaced.

    After having this product for over a month I would like to say that this product is definitely worth the 100 dollar price tag while it does get beaten out in sound and price by a couple others like the google home and Alexa dot I’d say if you have an apple product this is a worth while investment. While it doesn’t have the best sound the speaker drive in it are nothing to scarf at easily being able to be heard from multiple rooms over at 70 percent volume. I would definitely but if you have an iPhone/MacBook
