    I have been something of an audiophile since college (50 years ago). I bought 2 of these as a quick and dirty extension to my Apple ecosystem. I absolutely had low expectations considering their size. When I set them up I was pleased with the typical convenience (if you have an iPhone) but when I started playing music I was amazed. The audio was clean with no distortion at all reasonable volumes. Frequency range is limited by size of the speaker but the sound benefited by the units not trying to play outside their range. I dropped a star off of them because they sound better filling up a room than as a nearby computer sound source.

    I was at my Granddaughter's house and she had one of these so when my radio stopped working and I saw this on sale I decided to purchase one and I am so glad. I used to listen to a Country Music Station out of Sacramento but it stopped coming in but I just say Hey Suri, play KNCI and it starts playing. I also make my own Cd's from music I purchase on Itunes and Suri didn't understand when I said playlist 2020 so I found out if you hold your phone close to the home Pod and open the music app on your Iphone clicking on which playlist it starts playing.

    Great little speaker and awesome sound plus Siri is very helpful. You can control different features of your home so she’s lights, thermostats, and Apple TV’s.

    My son in law loves it so much. It's tiny but the sound is beautiful. Especially with the new Apple music spatial technology. Siri is getting better.

    A little on the pricey side but good quality. Good sound from a small form factor. One gripe: there seems to be a glitch with the firmware. Siri will periodically come on and state it’s looking for an item.

    Siri is well, Siri... but it has good sound quality within a tiny footprint! Knocked it down a star due to an annoying issue after setup, but it was quick to figure out and resolve. The only issue I experienced was after setup. It setup fine, could connect to the Internet and operate independently without issue. None of the Handoff features or iOS devices could communicate with it properly though. It turns out it was due to my Asus WiFi router that has 2 separate 5 GHz radios and their Smart Connect feature. Once I turned that off and one of the 5 GHz radios too, everything started working perfectly. This feels like it is just a bug that Apple will fix in a future software update, as no other Apple device I've owned experienced this issue with my router.

    If you love music and good sound this is the speaker for you. This is by far the best sounding small smart speaker I have heard. This will fill a room with beautiful sound. It is stereo sound from a single point. There are speakers in all directions so some do left channel and some do right channel. The bass response is astonishing and is better than other larger high end bookshelf speakers I have. I now have 4 of them scattered about the house.

    The HomePod mini is an amazing little speaker. I am able to do so much with this device. It can read text messages and respond to them. It allows me to control all the lights in my house and I can play music from it.

    The home pod mini is great. Not as robust as the full size Home Pod, but lots of bang for the buck. Sounds great for a small speaker.

    I purchased this for my kids. We had echo dots, but I couldn’t set it up to only allow music 24/7. The home pods have the same parental controls/downtime I have for their iPads/iPhone so it will allow them to go to bed with music but not allow any other features at downtime.
