    Overall great after a slight stubble setting it up. I had to go back and reset it to get through the setup for some reason. Likely my fault. The ease of use and integration with my other Apple products is everything I hoped for in buying it. The response to commands is accurate. The sound is terrific.

    It is pretty good for the size of it, the full size has much better sound though. I do like it overall though, the intercom function is pretty neat and I like that if you play a song it plays in all rooms. Overall I give it 4 stars as its great but I expected a little more power from it and for the price I expected it to be more around the 50 dollar range. I guess I can't be too picky though....

    Rich Sound, Small Formfactor,

    I now own five of these HomePods, which are scattered around the home. They punch out clear, rich sound and are surprisingly loud when you need them to be. The perfect form factor for smaller rooms, or where space is limited, plus all of the benefits of Siri. I highly recommend these HomePods.

    The sound of this speaker is so much clearer than anything else on the market that’s of similar size and price point. The price point makes this an excellent gift idea for anyone in the family, especially if they already own an Apple device.

    I actually have 2 sets of these little speakers. 1 in the bedroom where we can listen to music as we try to fall asleep. The other in the family room where we can listen to our favorite music instead of watching TV.

    As a owner with multiple apple products, this connected seamlessly with my devices. A favorite part of owning this HomePod is the compact design. It fits on my desk easily without taking much space and it’s connection with the Apple TV gives a budget surround sound when streaming movies. I love it

    This has been a wonderful addition to the home office. I love that I can use it to control the smart lights, play music/podcasts, and send audio from my AppleTV. It was so easy to set up. I'm considering a second one to get spatial audio.

    Good sound for the size. Not significantly better than cheaper alternatives and sometimes does not connect well with my phone.

    I love this homepod mini. GREAT sound for such a little device. Much better than my Amazon echo dot. Stylish design, Siri works great and I love that I can control it with my phone and that it ties into my Apple system. This one is a winner.

    I bought this to pair with my other HomePod mini so I could use it as a sound bar of sorts and I do not regret it! It was so easy to pair them all together and it sounds amazing!

    Excellent device and there are a ton of benefits to having this if you are an iPhone user. I set my calendar with it, answer calls, meditation, surround sound and of course play music. Sound is excellent and Siri works great! It is amazing how apple ecosystem works together for maximum productivity!

    I love the sound of our HomePod mini. Since we are deeply immersed in the Apple ecosystem, it works seamlessly with all our Apple products. Super easy to set up. Once set up, I can unplug it & take to a different room with no problem. Mostly we leave it where it is. I plan to get more of them!

    Fantastic speaker , smart home hub

    I have had my eye on the HomePod since it was released. For me the cost of entry was always a bit too high. I finally caved when Best Buy had a sale and picked one up. Comparing it to the two echo dots that I have at home, the HomePod was in a whole other league. Sound was crisp and filled the room, and sounded great in multiple locations, due to the HomePods ability to optimize it sound based on the room. Being an Apple Music subscriber, using Siri on the HomePod to play music and playlists that it would think I would like has been nothing short of a treat. I find the music recommendations great and the sound quality unmatched in a smart speaker. Although Siri has gotten a bad reputation, I find Siri is more than adequate for most queries and actions. Again comparing it to my two echo dots, I actually prefer Siri for 99% of things. I have found Siri to have less hangups, especially when making music requests. Apples app “Siri shortcuts “does make customizing what you request from Siri better. However the app can be a bit daunting to novice users. And Siri’s response when responding to custom commands can sometimes be robotic. I have found that Siri is far quicker than Alexa at controlling smart home devices. Having loved the HomePod so much, when they were on sale again, I picked a second one up. I set them up in stereo mode and was again very impressed by the sound that it put out. Ideally, I would have a HomePod on each floor of my home. Due to the higher price of the HomePod, the cost can be restrictive to making that a reality. While I have two set up on one floor in a stereo pair, it is easy enough to move one or both to another floor or a room, plug it in, and have it play without doing anything else. The HomePod works best with Apple Music, but with the upcoming update in the Fall of 2020, Apple will be allowing third party music support on the HomePod. Although it is possible to do so now by air playing to the speaker from your phone, you must still rely on the phone to do so. The new update should allow third party services to run natively. The HomePod is a device for people that want smart home control, with the advantage of privacy that Apple offers, along with a love and appreciation for music. If music is not a priority, there are currently cheaper alternatives to dedicate to smart home control. For music lovers and those in the Apple ecosystem, the HomePod is a great choice.
