Very handy to be able to have everything tie together. Audio is great for the size and its cool to be able to stream audio from the apple tv to the HomePod. I am planning on buying a couple more.

Amazing, amazing sound!
My family absolutely loves the HomePods, as we now have three and will probably buy one or two more once they go on sale again. The sound is amazing and fills the room easily, And the bass that comes off this thing is incredible.
Having Siri Incorporated into the speaker only makes things better. Being able to get voice commands through using HomeKit makes life so much easier. Our speakers are used constantly between music, commands, updates on the weather and more.
Wow they are not cheap like the echo, they are made for top quality sound which they deliver. I truly feel the HomePod is one of my best purchases in a long time.

This thing can make some noise. Love the design and form factor. The new humidity and temperature sensors are a nice bonus too.

This is going on year 2 of having this product. Initially was great had no issues, the sound quality was amazing, and bass was booming. Unfortunately now over the past couple month, I haven’t been able to connect to my home WiFi and connect to the speaker. I have restarted it multiple times, and reseted it a couple times a well. Whenever it starts up Siri says “Unable to connect to the internet right please try again later”. Now this speaker is just basically collecting dust and not in use.

Excellent! Love the new smaller HomePod mini, these are perfect for bedrooms and even the bathroom with their compact size. More the one in a room can create a speaker pair with phenomenal sound and when paired with an Apple TV get the perfect surround sound for all your tv shows.

This little speaker looks cute but it can produce great sound. It is so easy to set up and only need a little space in my computer desk. I would recommend to any one who is looking for a small powerful office speaker.

The main reason I purchased this, was so that I could speak out loud within a room and activate various HomeKit automations via "Hey Siri" commands. I have one by my entrance door so that when I come home I can speak "Hey Siri, I'm home." and all my lights turn on. I have the other in my bedroom so when I say "Hey Siri, goodnight." All my lights turn off. I would say it works 90% of the time, and is a lot easier than speaking into my phone or watch. The speaker is more sensitive than you would think and I don't have to speak loudly or even directly at it. I just have to make sure that I enunciate and not mumble.
As an audio speaker by itself, I would say it's a 4/5. But for it's size you're not going to get optimal bass or amazing sound quality. But definitely good sound for it's size.
Overall, I would say that if already have a number of Apple devices and services, this is easily the best option.

I am a heavy Apple user so everything integrates nicely and is very easy to set up and control. I was able to connect and control all my LIFX bulbs quickly and LOVE being able to just say to turn on and off certain lights. If you have Apple Music, it is great because you can ask it to play songs, identify songs by lyrics, and add to your personal library or playlist. I think it sounds better than all of the other smart speakers and has a sleek and slim design. It isn’t the smartest speaker compared to others and is very limited on answers when asking questions that are not music related. Overall, I am satisfied with the speaker since I use it mostly for the music and podcasts and leave the heavy searching for my phone or iPad.

Awesome sound in such a small package — I've replaced my Sonos Play 1 with this HomePod mini for everyday music and radio listening — so much more convenient to control by voice (Siri) and perfect HomeKit integrations.

Added this to my smart home. It easily competes with the full sized homepod and a much better price! Sound is top notch and is able to do all functions of the fullsize. You could have 3 of these for the price of the original one, way better overall sound with triple the units.

The best sounding speaker for its size in this market, hands down. Siri leaves a little bit to be desired, but for normal tasks in the Home system, it does well and doesn't overstay its welcome like Google does. As this system gets smarter, this value gets better. It's more expensive but you do get benefits from that in sound.

Bought one when it was on sale for $199 to go with another that I paid full price to create a stereo pair. The sound is great with one and amazing when you pair them. I’m using them in a master bedroom and they fill the whole room. Bass is great and there is no true sweet spot, the whole room becomes the sweet spot. Siri always can here you even when the music is cranked up. Also love how hand off works. I can be playin music on my iPhone then hold the phone over a HomePod and the music transfers like magic to the stereo pair homepods.

If you already have Apple products this will work perfectly. Sound is much better than I thought it would be. Works flawlessly with iPhone, iPad, and AppleTv. Can control the volume and skip tracks from my Apple Watch too. Siri works great too.

I'm delighted by the high quality sound from my mini HomePod. I'm using the full-size HomePods in the living room for spatial surround sound. The mini sound is so good that I bought a second mini to enjoy the spatial sound in the bedroom.

When you initially hold it for the first time you almost feel like it’s a joke but as it immediately pairs with your phone and delivers impressively filling the room with sound. The first thing that comes to mind in comparison is if you were to see a cute little Chihuahua expecting to sound annoyingly yippy but then surprised you by having the bark of a German Shepherd. It leaves something to be desired in the lower frequencies and lacks that deep punchy bass you get with the OG’s, but for the price you get every penny’s worth and then some. Although Siri has noticeably improved over the last few updates, she can be a bit irritating in consistency, again worth the price paid in user data Privacy policies that Apple has shown to be the gold standard for in protecting. If you have an iPhone 6s or newer and ever listen to music in your home, especially in the kitchen while cooking, it’d be silly to consider anything else in the <$100 price range.

I am not going to fully repeat the positive reviews, they are right.. amazing sound, adapts to the room, phenomenal ability to hear your voice commands over any volume of music, easy to set up, easy to operate. Much better than Alexis in that regard, and better sound than Sonos.
The haters are also right. They are they ones that give it 1 star and have not actually even heard the product. But they are right, it doesn't works with Android (only Apple Products), its NOT a bluetooth come one come all speaker, its NOT cheap (quality costs), and its NOT stereo. It was designed to be NONE of those. So yeah if you are going to hate something for things it was never designed to do.. without even hearing it.. go for it.
I wish I had enough money to put one in every room.
