Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

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.

The Apple Homepod Mini is much easier to use compared to my other Amazon Echo Dot devices. I have predominantly more Apple devices at home and this device seemelessly connects/communicates with them effortlessly. I love how I can use two HonePod Minis to create an immersive satellite speakers when watching a movie.

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.

I have used all the major home assistant for music and home automation and have to say so far the HomePod so far is the best. Alexa, Google home, and home assistant with local AI all have there strengthens and weaknesses, but ultimately HomePod is better at understanding my commands. I will say I am using Home Assistant as the back end for this, and the integration of home automation functions is a little wonky, but easy enough to setup and get working. What i don't love? Spotify is not supported and HomePod literally can't integrate properly, so if you use apple music, you're good to go, if you don't you're likely out of luck. I have been forced to use an iPad to cast Spotify to the speaker of my choice. In my house I'm using two minis and the big HomePod. The big HomePod could be better from a music quality standpoint, the minis are pretty decent given the size, but I wouldn't use them for listening to music. Despite the music issues, I still give it give stars because I was expecting the apple ecosystem is exclusive and doesn't integrate well, and I am reviewing the mini, not the Apple ecosystem.

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.

I love the sound of this speaker. Definitely better than its rival amazon echo dot. It is a great speaker to have if you have an iPhone or if you are interested in the apple ecosystem including HomeKit. I like that it can be paired with my Apple TV 4K and the sounds doesn't have any lag.

Good sound qualityc beautiful and easy setup, I already have 3

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

We’re happy Apple finally introduced a price competitive product to compete with Alexa and Google, The sound is amazing for the size and Siri responds much quicker than Alexa. If you are creating a Smart Home the you need the HomePod Mini to work with HomeKit. We’ve added this to our system to manage the lighting and so far it has performed better than Alexa ever did and with privacy protection. Thanks Apple

For Product: I’m happy with the HomePod mini and it works ax expected. Purchase Experience: before heading to the store I checked to make sure the store I wanna price match with is in the approved list and once at the register, the cashier asked the manager if they can match the price and the manager said “ no, because the offer is online only.” I had to step aside and go through the policy again and found out that as long as the product is ready to ship, and the store is in the list of approved competitors, they should honor the price match. I had to go to the cashier and show them the policy and the cashier had to “convince” the manager to follow Best Buy policy. The price from the competitor was below the minimum allowed price, which I was ok with whatever the minimum allowed price is. (Needed to have it on the same day). The other thing is that the website shows that the product comes with 4 offers, and cashier told me that the customer cannot choose which one to receive. (He tried to see if he can choose, but he couldn’t. It’s the system’s limitation)

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.

It delivers rich, immersive audio with deep bass and has a sleek, durable design. While its compatibility is primarily for Apple users and lacks extensive third-party app support, it remains a top-tier choice for those seeking a premium audio experience within the Apple ecosystem.

My teenage daughter set up the HomePod mini without assistance from me. The mini has strong, clear sound that fills my daughter's room quite well -- better than I expected. She enjoys the lighting on the top an how she can interact with the mini. Yes, it costs more than an inexpensive bluetooth speaker, but it provides better sound and functionality than those speakers, too. We're happy with the purchase.

Coming from a 3rd gen Amazon Exho, I was really impressed and happy what the mini had to offer. I mainly use it for an alarm in the morning. I don’t trust the one on my iPhone because i do like a loud sounding alarm. But Siri is great, yea Alexa might be a little more smart, but how often are you just sitting in your room asking a smart speaker questions. Great alternative from google and Amazon!

This is surprisingly small and sounds great. Setup was quick and simple.

Once you get it setup it’s great. Directions could be better- had to reset it twice but finally got it to work. Sound is great and pairs with my Apple TV as well as my iPhone. I have three of these now and they sync up with each other great.

First of all, I want to rave about the amazing audio quality of this tiny speaker. Nothing small about the sound. It outputs a serious, rich bass and fantastic highs, blowing everything out of the water in its competing market in terms of audio quality. I do have a Bose wireless speaker that is also great and while this is wired, it’s incredible. However, the reason for only four stars is its connectivity. I wanted a speaker that anyone in the house could use from their smartphones, but each registered user must have an iTunes account, or use mine. This isn’t a serious issue only because I have an apple desktop and music can be used through my iTunes account. If you already own apple products, you’ll want to spend the little bit extra and purchase this HomePod speaker. It shouldn’t even be a consideration if you use something else. The HomePod functionality is user friendly and works extremely well for dedicated Apple users. I love how music will automatically transfer from my AirPod pros to this HomePod and vice-versa. However, I wish apple would have created a speaker of this caliber that is easily compatible with all devices, not just apple products. It’s slightly annoying.

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

Great sound for a small speaker! Was really surprised with the good base and volume.
