Amazing sound from this tiny speaker. Easy setup and integrated into my other devices simply. The only draw back is it doesn't integrate with as many third party apps as Alexa. Thankfully most of my smart home setup is already integrated with Homekit anyway, and things like audible can be played using AirPlay. I also love how it recognize's my kids voices and will play music they want but it won't show up on my recently played, it shows up on theirs.

Homepod mini is great, but the sound quality is more meant for nightstand or deskspace, not a large open space like the spot we had planned, we had high hopes for it and returned it due to it just being to small for our space. Really a great system though, we did replace it for the regular HomePod.

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.

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.

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.

HomePod minis are a game changer. Their size may be pint-sized but their sound is EPIC!!! I have four of them throughout my house. And with Apple's easy interface, it's a DREAM come true for playing music or podcasts everywhere. Highly recommend. Not to mention this shade of Teal is EVERYTHING!!!

I have a big HomePod in our main living space which I love! I bought this little guy for our bedroom to get the same convenience of Siri in there as well. The sound quality is pretty great and it gets pretty loud for how small it is too!

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

I'm amazed at how good these sound for the size. I have two full-sized HomePod and now two of these to create a whole home audio experience. They all sync seamlessly with my main room running an AppleTV connected to a Yamaha AV receiver home theater setup. Plus all the smart functionality and Thread router capabilities.

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.

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.

Great sound for the size and price. Would definitely suggest getting a pair.

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.
