    These smart powered speakers (I bought a stereo pair) look great and sound great...and listen even better. At first blush the $349 price sounded very high...though I hit a $50 off sale... but when you think about it they’re not. The solid/heavy compact speakers pack a punch in the bass and with 7 folded horn tweeters fill the whole room with omnidirectional sound. Each of the 8 speakers has its own amplifier and are separately controlled by the A8 processor (same as in iPhone 6). The touch controls and discreet color display round out the package. The bass auto adjusts to room size and the 7 tweeters sense walls and beam the sound around the room...I.e. these sound great anywhere in any room at any volume (no distortion at full volume). After updating them to Airplay 2, I could use them as a stereo pair, whole house speakers that play the same or different content in different rooms or assign each to different accounts for independent control from separate user IOS, TVOS, or MacOS devices—remember these are WiFi, not Bluetooth, full range speakers (40-20kHz?). Spookily amazing are the 6 microphones that can hear and respond to your normal (inside) voice even when the speakers are creating a cathedral soundstage while playing Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor at full volume. Siri easily answers queries like “what’s the weather tomorrow” when you ask from the next room. I did not have home automation devices to test, but as you can tell I’m having fun with a pair of HomePods. Just don’t think they can replace your $500+ HiFi tower speakers ... or the other way around ;?)

    I purchased this for Christmas. I love it . It plays music like surround sound. The nice compact size can fit anywhere. Siri can speak to everyone in shared family and play their music .

    Audio delay with streaming shows

    The sound is great, good bass. Audio quality is very impressive for such a small speaker. I rated it a 3 of 5 because it usually won’t sync when streaming shows. Audio from streaming shows is consistently about 3 seconds delayed making it impossible to use as an external speaker for that purpose. I’ve had my speaker for quite awhile now and Apple has not proactively addressed this issue despite that it’s Support forum is full of complaints about it.

    For this item to be as small as it is, it is very loud and I love it! It’s small so it doesn’t take up to much space! You do have to keep it plugged in at all times for it to work which did suck a little. Overall, it is a great invest if you love music!

    Very good functionality and sound for the price. Easy to setup. Siri is relatable and adds capabilities with homekit. Sound quality is pretty clear with decent bass for something small.

    Good sound, but not a full sized HomePod ...

    Full size HomePod it is not... If you have a bigger room one will not due, you will need two for sure. The sound is clear and does get to a decent volume, however as its all done with one driver ( and 2 passive radiators) something has to give. In this case its the bottom end, the sound is good for rock music and some pop songs. If you into songs that required bass to carry the tune..Dance, Hip Hop, Electronic, etc. You will need something bigger. Sound aside its more responsive and ultimately more capable on the "Smart" front that the original HomePod. It has "threading" tech for better integration with future smart home products. Works EXCELLENT with HomeKit commands and features. Best use.. If you have alot of HomeKit products in your house, this could be that microphone in the room or area your not in that much, but woudl be good if covered.

    This is great for someone that needs music but doesn't feel like spending all of their money on in wall speakers. I have a stereo pair of the HomePods, and they sound amazing for their size and price. Siri on this can be stupid from time to time but when Siri works, it can be very helpful. In my case Siri is great for scheduling stuff and answering calls

    It is a lot louder then you’d think! Sound quality is great for what it is. I have multiple Apple Products and this is honestly the best $100 you can buy from Apple.

    Apple's HomePod Mini is a great smart speaker - unobtrusive, responsive, and sounds great! Can be paired with a second one for stereo sound, too!

    Excellent sound for a small package. No issues so far. Good to place in smaller areas. I would recommend the larger HomePod for larger areas--if you can still get your hands on one.
