    The perfect price point for an excellent-sounding smart speaker. We have a few of these, for ambient music, Siri support for shopping lists etc. Kids enjoy using them as well :)

    The HomePod mini works the same as the original HomePod but is much smaller! The sound is powerful. The orange adds a cool pop of color and looks great in any home setting

    Works great with the rest of my apple products and home ecosystem and surprisingly loud for a compact speaker. Am using it in the master bath and have one in the master bedroom as well; high wife approval factor.

    I gifted this for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loves it! He gifted me one for my birthday this year and needless to say its amazing. The setup process is fairly quick. I use this almost everyday to play music. When it comes to setting an alarm, I need it to be LOUD and sometimes setting an alarm on my phone isn't enough lol so having the homepod and the volume it emits has been great! I definitely recommend investing in a homepod in your living space.

    I bought this to replace an old Echo Dot and I love it so much more. It’s so easy to play music right from my phone and I quickly bought a second one and made a stereo pair. They sound great!

    Speaking as an Apple Fanboy, this product is As an Apple fanboy, I can say that this product meets the company’s standards. However, the sound output is quite low for my liking, so I ended up purchasing another standard HomePod to fulfill my audio needs. Despite this, I believe it is nice

    Sound quality is great for its size, far better than the google home mini. However, even though I have an iPhone, I still very much prefer the Google Assistant. As an overall speaker, its perfect… and the seamless handoff between the speaker and iPhone is so cool and works very well. I think if Apple can improve the Siri Assistant, this “smart” speaker in my opinion would be the way to to. I did connect this to my Mac Studio for better sound quality from the internal speakers of the Mac Studio and using them as purely PC speakers works great. I tried using them for conference calls and I’m not sure if it was proximity to the microphone but it was too loud and the others on the call heard echoes the entire time and I was manually muted until I fixed it (which was turning it off).

    Audio in a Class by Itself

    I preordered an Apple HomePod from Best Buy. Picked it up on Friday after work. Early Saturday morning I was at Best Buy buying a second one before they sold out. Yes, the sound was really that good! I own a number of Amazon echo devices including several Echo Show and several Google Home devices. Alexa and Hey Google outperform Siri. But if you’re buying this for sound, nothing even comes close. The sharp, clear high frequencies because of the seven tweeters which are computer controlled cannot be duplicated by any other device on the market today. I do not subscribe to Apple Music. I listen to SiriusXM through my computer using iTunes, and distribute it to these HomePod speakers wirelessly, using the Apple lossless wireless system. That gives an additional benefit of being able to adjust equalization through iTunes. The resulting sound is phenomenal! Please note that after purchasing these two HomePod speakers, Apple updated the firmware. They still do not have stereo capability, but they reduced the bass because a number of people thought there was too much bass! I thought it was perfect before, so I simply bumped up the equalization through iTunes and I’m back to where it was before. Don’t even worry about the stereo consideration. Each speaker fills the room and sounds so multidimensional, you will think you have surround sound from HomePod. Crisp in your face audio in every area of your room! Highest Recommendation!!

    Better than Alexa. Worth the upgrade?

    I went from Amazon Alexa to Apple Siri. I much prefer HomePod due to the fact of all my Apple devices being connected. I love the way the Apple ecosystem works and HomePod fits right in. Not to mention the better sound quality of my HomePod mini in comparison to my Echo Dot. I also found that the HomePod has more useful features than my Alexa did. I know you can set up Alexa so that it has the ability to make and receive phone calls but I never could figure it out. With HomePod it was a breeze and makes life much easier when at my office desk doing work. HomePod and Alexa are nearly identical and I wouldn’t recommend making the switch from Alexa to HomePod but I would recommend purchasing a HomePod over and Alexa if your a first time buyer and if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem.

    I am loving our 2 Apple home pod minis! The sound is amazing, and they enabled us to connect other items in our home. Easy to use and set up. I would highly recommend! I will probably by another!

    Apple is known for making really well engineered and quality products, not always very cost effective but very very good quality. The HomePod is an exception to that case. It’s a really quality product and it’s actually priced really well. I’m super happy with her and I love the ability to hand off my phone calls to one seamlessly. End it does a great job of recognizing me and my girlfriends voices and keeping our preference is separate and calendars and everything. I hope they continue to expand the offering, it would be nice to see a bit larger speaker. I’ve got several of them all over the house now and they pair really well in stereo and they sound fine when it’s just one. I am well pleased. Coupled with Apple Music it’s a pretty great home whole home audio solution.

    Great sound for a small speaker. Sound is better than I expected for it to be so small. I will be adding more home pods in the futuristic my home.

    The item is a decent product, but some of its features are lacking. You should be able to set alarms, however for some reason that is not an accessible feature. Other wise it’s a great product.

    For this being this small the sound is amazing, I was a little hesitant when deciding to get this along with my new Apple TV but it’s amazing and highly recommended it, plus it doesn’t create a dust right like the original HomePod

    Excellent room filling sound, but I was a bit disappointed to find out that it doesn’t connect direct to my smart bulbs. Siri also isn’t as good of an assistant as Alexa. However, the sound quality is fantastic for a tiny speaker, and if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem, the ease of use can’t be beaten.

    Although it’s not super loud it has a really great sound. It can go almost anywhere without looking out of place. If your in the apple eco system it’s an awesome add on to your Apple TV setup. Highly recommend.

    I didn’t realize that this wasn’t a wireless speaker. Buying an Apple product who would’ve thought they’d be selling something that needs to be plugged into a wall the entire time. I bought this as a gift and would’ve gone with a beats pill or another wireless speaker. The speaker does sound very well.
