Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love them. I wish I had 4 more. Decent sound for size. Siri not great but Apple is rumored to update Siri this year (2024). NEED iPhone or iPad to use, and having Apple Music subscription a big plus.

The sound is good and being able to connect 2+ Home pod mini’s around the house makes it even better. The intercom feature is a nice feature as well. What I really like is, being able to play your music or podcasts from you phone and still be able to use it to make/receive phone calls or watch videos, without turning the music off that’s playing from your phone, through the home pod speakers.

I have had Apple HomePods for a few years. Amazing sound and deep rich base. Never would have imagined the mini would be JUST AS GOOD!!! Such amazing sound from such a small speaker is impressive and it also comes in multiple colors to suit your space or color preferences. 10/10

Love at first I was going to take it back because I didn’t know how to connect my devices it’s a hassle trying to reconnect it as well and it’s not as easy as my other Apple devices to connect so I was a little hesitant, but once I got it to connect baby it does just what I need it to do I love this and it’s not big and bulky and fits right on my nightstand for easy use

Better than I expected. Sounds great. Easy to connect to with phones and apple TV box. Looking at buying 2 of the bigger ones to pair with a living room TV

I purchased the Home Pod mini to use my Mac Mini computer speaker in my small (12x12) office so I don’t have to turn up the stereo (in another room) so I can hear it in my office. Pros: The mini provides much better sound than the Mac Mini speakers and works great for my purposes. It sounds great for its size (and price if on sale). I even think it would beat out some more expensive speakers in this and other categories. It would even work great as a TV speaker (depending on size of room). The larger HPod would be good for this purpose too. It’s great for background music/talk and even to turn it up to jam out to a favorite song in the office, but not likely for parties— it would get drowned out (again, depending on the size of room, purpose and number of people talking). Those considerations are important to me. It also makes for a great speaker phone if routed through continuity. Cons: I don’t like how I can not use it as a microphone to the Mac Mini for recording. This also causes issues for applications like Zoom, Skype, and even Facetime for video. I’ve read why but I don’t quite understand the reasons since you can connect the HPod mini directly to the Mac Mini’s Usbc-3 port. It needs to connect through bluetooth (which it has) to use it this way; otherwise, it has to go through iOS AirPlay or something like that…but not directly through MacOS. I’ve also read it will not support Apple’s new HD music streaming, Dolby Atmos, and Spacial sound, but I also read it will get an update so it can(?) Conclusion: I tried the big HomePod a while ago (to replace the main stereo) and it sounded great. It was not as full sounding or as loud as my current mini shelf system (as it should since it’s a system and not just one speaker), so I returned it. The Mini does not sound as “full” as the larger one but it is just as clear and crisp sounding. An update to utilize Apple’s new services would make this an excellent buy. It’s not a party speaker but that’s not why I bought it (I have that if needed). It works great as the intended computer/office speaker that sounds great for it’s size and category, and at a decent price.

Best Home Device ever. We have one in every room. Great sound, easy to use and never had any issues!

I added a second HomePod mini and paired it so I get stereo sound from the content playing on my external monitor. I am running an Apple TV so the setup was easy and they work well together.

Really an awesome speaker for the price! The sound this little speaker puts out is great for the size. There is good treble and mids and surprising amount of bass for the size. If you are in the apple ecosystem then go ahead and get you one.

Sound is great and size is perfect. Color and build are great. Can’t wait for future updates

I use the iPad mini as part of a Smart Home system. It is really worth the money and the time it takes to set it up! It’s great to be able to create patterns such as having your doors lock at a certain time of night or having the lights come on outside just before you get home or even being able to have your doors locked and unlock When a contractor comes to the house or when you get home! This little device also works as a great speaker with wonderful quality

As we work on creating a smart home, I thought the home Pod would play an important role and to way the least, I was correct. Plus, it's a very good speaker that I am using with Apple Music and Sirius XM satelite radio. It worked so well, I bought a second Home Pod a week later for my home office. The learning curve isn't to steep and the intercom feature has been both valuable and fun.

While the sound is not quite as good as a full size HomePod, it it surprisingly good and probably the best you'll find in a $99 smart speaker. In addition, it is a great addition to an Apple-enabled smart home for automation and multi-room music through AirPlay2 support. Incredibly easy to setup. If you are an Apple user, this is a great investment. I plan on getting 3-4 more to place throughout the house.

The device exceeded my expectations. It is very small but the sound is fantastic. It is not a hifi speaker like my old wood klipsich but it is better than my fancy 5.1 surround for the TV. I'm old and the mini is easier to understand dialog while making perfectly decent music. The mini is pretty enough but mostly inconspicuous. I like the long cord but miss a battery. Siri is Siri fun and useful but an idiot savant.

This is a great HomePod. The color is beautiful, easy to use and works well with my home system.

I was honestly surprised by how loud it can get. I had seen many reviews on YT and many said that sound quality and loudness was okay. I personally love the HomePod and think sound and loudness is amazing and it’s worth the $100. The other great thing is the size. So small but yet so loud

If it didn’t randomly disconnect I would give it 5 stars, everything else from sound to the size of the HomePod is great

Thank you for a wonderful buying and listening experience. The Bluetooth speaker are a wonder and ease in setting up. I am enjoying the quality and ease of listening to these new speaker. I will continue to be a returning customer with all my electronic and wide range of products that Best Buy stocks and ships. Again, thank you and I do hope that Best Buy has a great future ahead of such a wonderful company..

Great sound. Great hub for smart home. We’ll bit more later. Cheaper than the big one.
