    Purchase two HomePod minis to attach to my Treadmill while working out. Sound quality is excellent with decent bass connects seamlessly to iPhone, and works well with Siri while running.

    Good sound quality without breaking the bank. I wanted a small speaker on my desk so I could listen to music or videos without having to use my earbuds. This looks and sounds great. The intercom feature is a nice bonus.

    The HomePod mini is a pretty decent home office speaker (especially when paired in stereo). The bass leave a little to be desired but overall the sound quality is good. Sound does not get distorted when the volume is cranked up.

    WOW! Love this mini. Use it everyday. The sound is top notch compared to others in this price range. As expected for any Apple product, the quality is superb and easy to use with your devices. Highly recommend, have bought the large homePod and 2 minis.

    Using a set of these as in house intercoms. And the color is nice and easy to spot. Playing music is only an okay experience, but I didn't expect earth shattering bass in a package this small so not taking an egg off.

    Awesome little speakers! I bought one and fell in love. The audio quality and Apple's ease of use are very impressive. I enjoyed it so much I purchased another one. They are great to place throughout the house.

    Extremely EASY to set up and to use! Very powerful with great volume. Will respond if you are in a different room and even upstairs. It is totally hands free. I have used three other products similar to this one and the HomePod Mini is by far the best!

    I choose to buy this as a replacement for the speakers I bought only 8 months ago, for my desk with dual monitors for a MacBook. Set up was super easy, Doesn't take up a lot of space. Also surprisedly loud and good sound

    I bought this to replace a first generation HomePod that was in the kitchen. Given that HomePods are selling at twice their original price on eBay and I only used it while cooking, it made sense to me to sell and replace it with a mini. We're deeply in the Apple and Siri eco-system, so it helps with cooking timers, turning stuff on/off, and listening to music and podcasts. So why just 4 stars? The first generation HomePod's sound is just really hard to beat. The mini sounds tinny and shallow, but I'm also an audiophile with a collection of speakers, hifi components, and more headphones than people probably should have, so take my opinion on the sound with a grain of salt. We do have two minis in the main bedroom and when paired together for stereo, you can get close to the sound of a single HomePod. Ultimately, if you need something to just provide background music while doing chores in a single space, the mini fills that need and at $100, it's a good value.

    It is good for the price. The speakers are phenomenal and work great with my sound system at home. Additionally, the smart home integration with Apple Home is flawless. I have several Nanoleaf tiles and Philips Hue lightbulbs around the house and it can control every one without breaking a sweat. It is also great for productivity, as you can ask Siri to read your text messages, send them, call somebody, and play music, just to name a few. Excellent value for money. Definitely would buy again.

    The perfect price point for an excellent-sounding smart speaker. We have a few of these, for ambient music, Siri support for shopping lists etc. Kids enjoy using them as well :)

    Works great with the rest of my apple products and home ecosystem and surprisingly loud for a compact speaker. Am using it in the master bath and have one in the master bedroom as well; high wife approval factor.

    Audio in a Class by Itself

    I preordered an Apple HomePod from Best Buy. Picked it up on Friday after work. Early Saturday morning I was at Best Buy buying a second one before they sold out. Yes, the sound was really that good! I own a number of Amazon echo devices including several Echo Show and several Google Home devices. Alexa and Hey Google outperform Siri. But if you’re buying this for sound, nothing even comes close. The sharp, clear high frequencies because of the seven tweeters which are computer controlled cannot be duplicated by any other device on the market today. I do not subscribe to Apple Music. I listen to SiriusXM through my computer using iTunes, and distribute it to these HomePod speakers wirelessly, using the Apple lossless wireless system. That gives an additional benefit of being able to adjust equalization through iTunes. The resulting sound is phenomenal! Please note that after purchasing these two HomePod speakers, Apple updated the firmware. They still do not have stereo capability, but they reduced the bass because a number of people thought there was too much bass! I thought it was perfect before, so I simply bumped up the equalization through iTunes and I’m back to where it was before. Don’t even worry about the stereo consideration. Each speaker fills the room and sounds so multidimensional, you will think you have surround sound from HomePod. Crisp in your face audio in every area of your room! Highest Recommendation!!
