Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this speaker! Very easy to use, great sound and Siri literally comprehends everything you say to her. Will be buying one for each bathroom soon. You will definitely be satisfied if purchasing one.

The HomePod is an amazing piece of tech. The A8 chip allows for it to equalize the audio according to the space that it is in allowing a more linear frequency response. The resulting sound is rich and clear regardless of the volume. Initial setup was a breeze thanks to the ease of the Apple ecosystem with my iPhone being in close proximity to the HomePod and then automatically configuring everything. The Hey Siri detection is quite good with it being able to pick up your voice command from across an average sized room even despite the music from the HomePod playing loudly. Siri is useful in terms of navigating throughout the vast musical library of Apple Music and doing basic commands for reminders, notes, weather, directions, store hours and messages/calls. However, in terms of a global search level, Siri can not compete with the superior Google Assistant. The downside to this speaker is that it can only be used with other Apple devices and Apple Music. However as someone who has everything Apple and is deeply invested into the ecosystem, it doesn’t matter to me. If you want to play Spotify or audio from other services, you’ll have to Airplay to the HomePod. In conclusion, this is a well engineered speaker with a fairly capable voice assistant included. Probably the best sounding smart speaker out there!

Bought two of them, at 199 and 185(open box). Sound good individually, great in stereo. Really solid bass for a small unit, won’t go incredibly loud, but plenty for most uses. Siri works pretty well, much better if you have Apple Music. One undersold feature is that because of the Omni characteristics and dsp, music doesn’t sound boxy(you can’t tell where it is coming from, just nicely distributed, kind of like some Linkwitz lxminis that I made some time ago)-really outstanding with orchestral music.

I love it. So easy to use just talk to suri and can play anything from a genre or a playlist or just place your phone over the light it immediately connects. Only negative would be its not wireless.

Great sound from such a small device. It doesn't compare with larger speaker systems or the larger HomePod, but it offers a full sound that can fill our living room. Very happy with the purchase.

Great sound for playing music but not very good for using it for surround around sound for TV. If you don’t have a sound bar, this is much better than having only TV speaker. Great stereo amongst two devices, however not as good as the larger version of this product.

Excellent sound for the price. Integrates well with other apple devices, and makes for an inexpensive option to add sound to any room with Apple TV.

Fantastic little speaker. It integrates very well with the other apple products in my house. The sound quality is very impressive for such a small device. The setup was super easy.

Packa a nice punch for it's size, and sounds much better than an Echo dot and similar in the price range.

Great addition to our home audio! Color options allow this speaker to complement room decor. Works well for intercom and music sharing across the home.

these are great. i bought two and am using them as stereo speakers for my bedroom tv. this replaced a soundbar/subwoofer setup and now everything turns on and off with my apple remote. sound is amazing as well.

Better than an Alexa. Better sound and better bass. Really great to use on Apple Classics.

Easy to set up. Great sound despite the size. Wish it was a cordless or cord-negative design. Intercom feature is nice although not utilized too much. Just purchased a second unit for surround sound

Great sound, works perfect with other Apple products. I will probably grab another few for the intercom features. Amazing little speaker that doesn't take up much space at all.

Great product from a small speaker. The footprint is very small. Works great with Siri. Could easily ask for weather updates. I currently placed it in my bathroom to listen to music getting ready.

Used primarily as a HomeKit hub. I was skeptical at first if I’d use any other features but it’s turned into a daily driver (music streaming, etc). I’m planning on getting more for the house.

Fantastic small speaker. Gave it as a gift and the bass on it is pretty good for being a small speaker. I thought it would potentially have a small flatter sound but it’s got a pleasing sound

The HomePod mini is a pretty decent home office speaker (especially when paired in stereo). The bass leave a little to be desired but overall the sound quality is good. Sound does not get distorted when the volume is cranked up.

I currently own multiple Alexa devices and quite honestly the HomePod Mini surpasses Alexa in so many ways, especially when it comes to sound quality. The sound on this tiny speaker is, simply put, exceptional. With HomeKit devices that are compatible with Alexa as well, Siri has so far has executed 95% of my requests. With the same devices, Alexa only executes about 60% of my requests. And this thing also has voice recognition capability! Definitely worth the money in my opinion and will be looking to buy more in the future and transition out Alexa completely.

Five stars but realize these speakers have some limitations. They sound great but volume is somewhat limited. The value is good compared to the larger Apple Home Pods, but less clear when compared with other bluetooth speakers. ie Alexa. They work well with Apple music, but not always with the other streaming services. Check before buy to see if the one(s) you use will work. I wish the cords were detachable so when they wear out you could just buy a new cord. I haven't yet figured out how to use these with my iPad as well as my iPhone. I also have a Samsung Galaxy and haven't been able to figure out if that will work as well. As always the big question is how long with they last.
