HomePod Not So mini

The HomePod mini sounds amazing! Room filling sound from such a small device is not what you expect but it really does. The new intercom feature is great for me and my family.

Powerful sound and great quality. Pairs well with AppleTv to provide surround sound at a nice price. Might want to get two HomePod minis for the true stereo sound experience.

small and powerful - did not expect it to be so small, as I have 2 full sized Home Pods, but this thing sounds fantastic! Well worth the $99 - but get two for stereo.

The sounds this little speaker puts out is amazing. I purchased this for a Christmas gift and he loved it. Very happy and will probably purchase another one to link them up.

Great sound quality for the compact size. If your main reason for buying this is for a smart speaker application, you may not be extremely happy with this item. But if you want a great speaker for streaming music ( best with Apple Music subscription) with some smart speaker functions, this is the one for you. When set up as a stereo pair, the sound quality is incredible! Hard to believe what you are hearing can come from such a small speaker!

Amazing sound quality. Now only if Siri were smarter

I knew it wasn’t the best speaker to buy with an assistant on it, but I have many Apple products and thought I’d give it a shot. It was a little weird setting it up especially cause it didn’t connect through Bluetooth like I thought it would. It used your WiFi to connect to it. You had to control the settings through the home app which I didn’t like and it was laggy when trying to play music from Apple Music to it. It had a tap feature that you could use with your iPhone to transfer what you were listening to on your phone to the HomePod, but it took awhile and it actually started playing music from my iPhone when I didn’t want it to when I got close to the HomePod. I’m giving it 2 stars because it did sound alright, but everything else about it was disappointing.

Great sound in such a small package. Blows away the Amazon dot which it should for the price. Seemless connection to apple devices and the kids love using Siri to play music.

Great Speaker, WiFi Setup Issues

I bought the HomePod today to replace an older Sonos Play 3. The sound quality on the Homepod is excellent and sounds much better than our older Sonos. I did have an issue that caused me significant delays, 2 calls to Apple Support and another visit to Best Buy. Hopefully my issue can help someone else from the headache that I experienced.
When I first tried setting up the HomePod, it could not connect to WiFi. I tried several things and called Apple Support. They spent about 45 minutes on the phone with me trying various things. They ultimately determined the HomePod was bad and to exchange it at Best Buy. I packaged it back up and took it back. I then learned my Best Buy didn't have any more HomePods in stock, but a store about 10 miles away did. So off I went to that store and brought my second HomePod home.
Upon trying to set this new one up, I got the same error message that it couldn't connect to WiFi. I have an Eero mesh router and upon googling HomePod and Eero issue, I discovered the fix in 30 seconds. Apparently having the WPA3 security enabled causes the HomePod unable to connect to the router. After disabling WPA3 I was able to connect the HomePod. I wish I would've googled that the first time as it would've saved me over 2 hours and 2 calls to Apple Support. I'm surprised Apple Support didn't think of this fix, but they apparently aren't aware of this issue.
So in summation, I love the HomePod, but the setup was a pain. I hope this review can help others in a similar situation avoid wasting hours of their time.

Way more bass and range than I expected. Not as satisfying as my original HomePod but the price was much less and therefore a reasonable value.
