Customer Ratings & Reviews

TBH initially I wasn't pleased with the sound of it at all! I've gotten so used to listening to music underneath the bump and vibration of (Beats) bass that I didn't recognize real quality any more. I didn't pay attention to the fact that I can clearly hear every instrument (individually) as well as every lyric spoke within the song playing. I didn't notice the awesomeness of this tiny little box until I was in a completely separate room away from it, yet I heard every sound described above in perfectly pristine quality as if the music was live & followed me into the next room. Suddenly I remembered the quality sound of the Bose products my parents owned. The beauty of clear, quality sound wrapping around you. The overall appearance of the speaker speaks to it not being a cheap reproduction. The texture is great to the touch. It feels very durable and is comfortable on the hands, easy to grip & carry.

While it may not boast as many features as other smart speakers, the compatibility that comes with the HomePod is worth the price tag. The sound is great, with especially strong bass; and Siri is just as smart here as on the iPhone (for better or for worse). For those already using Apple products and HomeKit-enabled devices, this is a necessary addition to your smart home.

This is going on year 2 of having this product. Initially was great had no issues, the sound quality was amazing, and bass was booming. Unfortunately now over the past couple month, I haven’t been able to connect to my home WiFi and connect to the speaker. I have restarted it multiple times, and reseted it a couple times a well. Whenever it starts up Siri says “Unable to connect to the internet right please try again later”. Now this speaker is just basically collecting dust and not in use.

A stereo pair of these is about the best speaker setup one can get for $200. They sound good for the price but will not be impressing very many. Admittedly, they don’t sound as good as a single original HomePod, but for $200 I can’t much complain. This is the only use for HomePods (original or mini)— they are speakers with huge limitations. Audio aside, as a smart speaker they’re indeed pretty bad, hence four stars and not five. Siri is a chore to interact with and struggles with even official HomeKit accessories (Phillips Hue comes to mind). As a pure speaker they’re also lacking, having no wired or Bluetooth options. Airplay is vastly better for audio quality but AudioOS 15.1 introduced speaker failure while using Airplay, and non-Apple devices won’t play nice. Long term support is poor. The original HomePod was discontinued and had a hardware flaw causing many to break entirely mere years in with no repair options. Non-Apple speakers typically last at least a decade, so this is disappointing and makes for a spotty investment. Approach with caution, I bought them as quasi-disposables and won’t be too upset if they break.

Very handy to be able to have everything tie together. Audio is great for the size and its cool to be able to stream audio from the apple tv to the HomePod. I am planning on buying a couple more.

Great sound and syncs well with virtually any other Apple product. I have 3 and will keep getting more.

The HomePod delivers stunning audio clarity with deep bass and crisp highs that fill the entire room. Siri responds quickly, and the setup took just a few minutes with my iPhone. It connects effortlessly with all Apple devices and makes home automation a joy. Perfect for music lovers and anyone in the Apple ecosystem. Worth every penny!

Bought these in a pair for my parents living room. I will say In a big room they can feel a tad quiet for movies paired with the Apple TV. Since the others are discontinued these will do. Would be perfect for a room. Siri is nice. They’re easy to use for my parents.

love the loud sound in a small package, so many customization features and buying multiple ones make it easy to flow from room to room. Just know its not portable!

This little speaker looks cute but it can produce great sound. It is so easy to set up and only need a little space in my computer desk. I would recommend to any one who is looking for a small powerful office speaker.

It is a great little speaker and works seamlessly with the iPhone. It is so nice to be able to hand off calls and music.

Amazing, amazing sound! My family absolutely loves the HomePods, as we now have three and will probably buy one or two more once they go on sale again. The sound is amazing and fills the room easily, And the bass that comes off this thing is incredible. Having Siri Incorporated into the speaker only makes things better. Being able to get voice commands through using HomeKit makes life so much easier. Our speakers are used constantly between music, commands, updates on the weather and more. Wow they are not cheap like the echo, they are made for top quality sound which they deliver. I truly feel the HomePod is one of my best purchases in a long time.

Amazung purchase. It plays music for me when i try to fall asleep and is awesome.

Awesome sound in such a small package — I've replaced my Sonos Play 1 with this HomePod mini for everyday music and radio listening — so much more convenient to control by voice (Siri) and perfect HomeKit integrations.

Excellent! Love the new smaller HomePod mini, these are perfect for bedrooms and even the bathroom with their compact size. More the one in a room can create a speaker pair with phenomenal sound and when paired with an Apple TV get the perfect surround sound for all your tv shows.

Perfect for the bathroom to keep music flowing from room to room. Great sound and easy to set up in HomeKit.

The main reason I purchased this, was so that I could speak out loud within a room and activate various HomeKit automations via "Hey Siri" commands. I have one by my entrance door so that when I come home I can speak "Hey Siri, I'm home." and all my lights turn on. I have the other in my bedroom so when I say "Hey Siri, goodnight." All my lights turn off. I would say it works 90% of the time, and is a lot easier than speaking into my phone or watch. The speaker is more sensitive than you would think and I don't have to speak loudly or even directly at it. I just have to make sure that I enunciate and not mumble. As an audio speaker by itself, I would say it's a 4/5. But for it's size you're not going to get optimal bass or amazing sound quality. But definitely good sound for it's size. Overall, I would say that if already have a number of Apple devices and services, this is easily the best option.

I love the homepod mini. For its price, the sound is great. I love how it lives within the Apple ecosystem.

Added this to my smart home. It easily competes with the full sized homepod and a much better price! Sound is top notch and is able to do all functions of the fullsize. You could have 3 of these for the price of the original one, way better overall sound with triple the units.

I am a heavy Apple user so everything integrates nicely and is very easy to set up and control. I was able to connect and control all my LIFX bulbs quickly and LOVE being able to just say to turn on and off certain lights. If you have Apple Music, it is great because you can ask it to play songs, identify songs by lyrics, and add to your personal library or playlist. I think it sounds better than all of the other smart speakers and has a sleek and slim design. It isn’t the smartest speaker compared to others and is very limited on answers when asking questions that are not music related. Overall, I am satisfied with the speaker since I use it mostly for the music and podcasts and leave the heavy searching for my phone or iPad.
