    I've enjoyed my HomePod for the most part. Not enough to buy a second one, but enough to where I can say it's been a pretty nice investment. I've been loyal to Apple Music since it came out, so when it came to wanting a smart home device/speaker, this was a no-brainer. I've tried to use Spotify on HomePod, but I get told by Siri that the app has not added support. That's something to keep in mind if you are not an Apple Music user. As far as a speaker goes, this does provide great sound. Another reason I bought HomePod was because of HomeKit. I had bought a couple Nanoleaf Bulbs on impulse and have really enjoyed the customization options they have to offer. For some reason, if I tell my phone to turn the lights off/on, it's always really confused. Even the Homekit app on iPhone takes a minute to process my requests. However, HomePod knows exactly which lights I'm talking about and turns them off/on within seconds. It's such a simple thing, but it saves me time in the morning from going around and trying to turn off individual lights. Being able to just say "Hey Siri, turn off all the lights!" as I'm running out the door has shaved minutes off my mornings.

    Great little speaker, with sound quality comparable to big sound systems. I replaced my Klipsh stereo speakers with subwoofer in my work from home office and even though Apple speaker won’t shatter windows - it definitely saves space on my desk! Plus having a smart assistant is a huge plus!

    Fantastic speaker! It's very small, the sound is fantastic for the size of speaker that it is. It's between a baseball and a softball in size, if you are wondering. This speaker is the best smart speaker for an  user. Let's not forget that Apple isn't selling the info, unlike the other smart speakers on the market. Enjoy!

    Great features and surprisingly good sound especially for something so small. We set this up in my son's bedroom and he loves it. It's compatible with his Iphone which he really likes. It was super easy to set-up and get going.

    I love the home pod mini. It’s really easy to setup. you unbox it, plug it in and turn it on. Your phone picks it up right away. Very easy set up. You update it then you can use your Apple Music Subscription. The cool thing is you can buy two home pod Mini’s and they are like stereo speakers. The sound quality is great.

    really nice speaker. very convenient if you are within the apple ecosystem, to be able to easily toss anything from your phone, your iPad, Mac or Apple TV. and is even more enhanced with apples services, like Apple Music. Otherwise, I would suggest another smart speaker if you do not have any apple products or services.

    Love this speaker. I have two so it is stereo. It is so easy to use over apples AirPlay. through iTunes select your song hit play touch the airplay icon in the right corner comes up forever many of the speakers HomePod you have click one or both or 10 whatever you got and you can set the volume for each one and turn one on or off whatever you like easy Peezy it’s great. no wires to hook up just unboxed it plug it in. I did use the Home app on my iPad and updated the software for the HomePods and that seem to be good too. I can play my iTunes music or my Amazon music as well. On Amazon I had to go to my pulldown menu on the iPad where it said music and then the airplane was there so it was a little different than an iTunes but it works just as easily.

    This Apple mini is surprisingly loud and clean in sound the bass is better than expect. I would buy more to use in each room but unfortunately the HomeKit is not reliable. Definitely sounds better than the nest mini goggle but the AI Goggle Assistant is far superior than Siri. Love the Apple mini and it’s bold sound!

    Great sound. The reason I give it a 3 star is that to have this speaker play you have to connect via home kit. It takes over when you say Hay Siri. It was like trying to find needle in a haystack trying find the setting to turn off Siri on the HomePod.

    These are excellent for their size. They sound very good at high volumes with no distortion that I can hear. I had the OG homepods but sold them due to popping noises that seem to be inherent with the OG Homepods. I combined these with some sonos ones for my Homekit and music setup.

    I bought one of these to give to my mom and she refused to even let me set it up (she's old and "thought" she didn't wanna learn how to use it). I set it up at my house and I really like it. The sound isn't THAT great, but it's good enough. I already have an Amazon Music account, so I'm not paying for Apple Music, and I can stream my Amazon music through this Homepod Mini. I'm going to buy a couple more to put in different rooms. I did eventually get one for my mom. When I had her get a Mac Mini to replace her dead PC since Apple products are better for simple folks, I somehow got a sale price on another site, so I added a Homepod mini and told her it was free. Once she got it through her head that she only has to say HEY SIRI, PLAY MOZART or CREEDANCE CLEARWATER etc, she fell in love. Next, I'm going to add some lighting to her Home system and let her see how nifty that is.

    Amazing sound for the size. I pair two of them with a Sonos Roam as a sub/center channel when I watch movies on the Apple TV. This really is a nice speaker on its own as well. It is NOT a Bluetooth speaker - it uses AirPlay. It is also NOT a portable speaker - it’s hardwired.

    The sound quality from this device is very good! Love that I can stream music from Apple or Spotify! Looks nice on the countertop. Plan to purchase another for use in other parts of the house and use as an intercom! This ties HomeKit devices within the home together so you can just tell it to turn lights on or off.

    The HomePod mini is the perfect size for a desk. It has great range from low volumes to high volumes, without much distortion. It has all of the features you expect from Apple like Airplay and they work seamlessly. To transfer audio to the HomePod, you just have to move your phone close to it and it does the rest!

    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.

    The HomePod mini has a nice full sound for such a small speaker. Will definitely be purchasing a second to use with it and use in stereo. Love that stereo is an option, or use independently. Works great with Apple TV 4K. Also easily transfers audio from iPhone. Also like the intercom function.

    These are such great speakers! I bought one and was so surprised by the quality of the sound! Then I just had to get another one for stereo sound. They were really easy to pair with my iPhone. I would recommend buying them for sure!
