    After I purchased this one, I liked it so well, I purchased five more! The sound is amazing for a little speaker. Excellent voice recognition. Easy to hook up .If you're into Apple, I would definitely go with the Home Pod mini instead of the other similar alternatives that are out there. Would recommend

    Great Product for Black Friday Sale Price

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought the HomePod during the Best Buy Black Friday sale for $250. Great quality of sound on a variety of music, I use it constantly since purchase. I have a large basement room and initially tried placing the HomePod in a corner, but finally settled on a location in the middle of the room, from there it gave great sound where ever you are within the room. This is definitely a first generation product, it lags hooking into iTunes on my MacBook Pro, sometimes taking up to 5 minutes to be recognized. It instantly recognizes my iPhone, but has major problems recognizing my iPad Pro. Setup was extremely easy using my iPhone. I have not tried to hook it up with my Apple TV 4K, but see no reason to because my TV system already has a surround system. I do like the AirPlay 2, no latency between speakers if you have more than one speaker playing when using the HomePod.

    This speaker has a clean sound for its size. When you turn up the volume it still sounds good. You can hear the bass somewhat, but it’s nothing like the original HomePod. It’s great for those areas where space is limited. Especially on a night stand. The white is nice because it doesn’t show as much dust as the black one.

    We have several Home Pods scattered around the house ( Both Mini and large Home Pods). They are perfect to surround you with great sounding music. We have six pods connected together and we would recommend this Apple Product to everyone.

    These are such great speakers! I bought one and was so surprised by the quality of the sound! Then I just had to get another one for stereo sound. They were really easy to pair with my iPhone. I would recommend buying them for sure!

    Fantastic speaker! It's very small, the sound is fantastic for the size of speaker that it is. It's between a baseball and a softball in size, if you are wondering. This speaker is the best smart speaker for an  user. Let's not forget that Apple isn't selling the info, unlike the other smart speakers on the market. Enjoy!

    I love the home pod mini. It’s really easy to setup. you unbox it, plug it in and turn it on. Your phone picks it up right away. Very easy set up. You update it then you can use your Apple Music Subscription. The cool thing is you can buy two home pod Mini’s and they are like stereo speakers. The sound quality is great.

    really nice speaker. very convenient if you are within the apple ecosystem, to be able to easily toss anything from your phone, your iPad, Mac or Apple TV. and is even more enhanced with apples services, like Apple Music. Otherwise, I would suggest another smart speaker if you do not have any apple products or services.

    These are excellent for their size. They sound very good at high volumes with no distortion that I can hear. I had the OG homepods but sold them due to popping noises that seem to be inherent with the OG Homepods. I combined these with some sonos ones for my Homekit and music setup.

    Amazing sound for the size. I pair two of them with a Sonos Roam as a sub/center channel when I watch movies on the Apple TV. This really is a nice speaker on its own as well. It is NOT a Bluetooth speaker - it uses AirPlay. It is also NOT a portable speaker - it’s hardwired.

    Amazing little smart speaker at an incredible value. Sound quality is booming for anyone expecting a bang for your buck and the apple quality really delivers. have issues with giving siri commands sometimes but thats really more of a siri limitation than a limitation of the speaker itself. pair two with an apple tv and you are living life!

    Mighty sound the HomePod generates! I have this placed between my kitchen and living and it fills both spaces without issue. I’m not an audiophile but it sounds great to me!

    Apple Mini home pod

    This Apple mini is surprisingly loud and clean in sound the bass is better than expect. I would buy more to use in each room but unfortunately the HomeKit is not reliable. Definitely sounds better than the nest mini goggle but the AI Goggle Assistant is far superior than Siri. Love the Apple mini and it’s bold sound!

    Love this speaker. I have two so it is stereo. It is so easy to use over apples AirPlay. through iTunes select your song hit play touch the airplay icon in the right corner comes up forever many of the speakers HomePod you have click one or both or 10 whatever you got and you can set the volume for each one and turn one on or off whatever you like easy Peezy it’s great. no wires to hook up just unboxed it plug it in. I did use the Home app on my iPad and updated the software for the HomePods and that seem to be good too. I can play my iTunes music or my Amazon music as well. On Amazon I had to go to my pulldown menu on the iPad where it said music and then the airplane was there so it was a little different than an iTunes but it works just as easily.

    The HomePod mini has a nice full sound for such a small speaker. Will definitely be purchasing a second to use with it and use in stereo. Love that stereo is an option, or use independently. Works great with Apple TV 4K. Also easily transfers audio from iPhone. Also like the intercom function.
