I bought the HomePod mini for my small home office and liked it so much I purchased the larger HomePod for my bedroom.

I bought this to replace an old Echo Dot and I love it so much more. It’s so easy to play music right from my phone and I quickly bought a second one and made a stereo pair. They sound great!

I went from Amazon Alexa to Apple Siri. I much prefer HomePod due to the fact of all my Apple devices being connected. I love the way the Apple ecosystem works and HomePod fits right in. Not to mention the better sound quality of my HomePod mini in comparison to my Echo Dot. I also found that the HomePod has more useful features than my Alexa did. I know you can set up Alexa so that it has the ability to make and receive phone calls but I never could figure it out. With HomePod it was a breeze and makes life much easier when at my office desk doing work. HomePod and Alexa are nearly identical and I wouldn’t recommend making the switch from Alexa to HomePod but I would recommend purchasing a HomePod over and Alexa if your a first time buyer and if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem.

Apple is known for making really well engineered and quality products, not always very cost effective but very very good quality. The HomePod is an exception to that case. It’s a really quality product and it’s actually priced really well. I’m super happy with her and I love the ability to hand off my phone calls to one seamlessly. End it does a great job of recognizing me and my girlfriends voices and keeping our preference is separate and calendars and everything.
I hope they continue to expand the offering, it would be nice to see a bit larger speaker. I’ve got several of them all over the house now and they pair really well in stereo and they sound fine when it’s just one.
I am well pleased. Coupled with Apple Music it’s a pretty great home whole home audio solution.

Great sound for playing music but not very good for using it for surround around sound for TV. If you don’t have a sound bar, this is much better than having only TV speaker. Great stereo amongst two devices, however not as good as the larger version of this product.

Sound quality is great for its size, far better than the google home mini. However, even though I have an iPhone, I still very much prefer the Google Assistant. As an overall speaker, its perfect… and the seamless handoff between the speaker and iPhone is so cool and works very well. I think if Apple can improve the Siri Assistant, this “smart” speaker in my opinion would be the way to to. I did connect this to my Mac Studio for better sound quality from the internal speakers of the Mac Studio and using them as purely PC speakers works great. I tried using them for conference calls and I’m not sure if it was proximity to the microphone but it was too loud and the others on the call heard echoes the entire time and I was manually muted until I fixed it (which was turning it off).

I gifted this for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loves it! He gifted me one for my birthday this year and needless to say its amazing. The setup process is fairly quick. I use this almost everyday to play music. When it comes to setting an alarm, I need it to be LOUD and sometimes setting an alarm on my phone isn't enough lol so having the homepod and the volume it emits has been great! I definitely recommend investing in a homepod in your living space.

For this being this small the sound is amazing, I was a little hesitant when deciding to get this along with my new Apple TV but it’s amazing and highly recommended it, plus it doesn’t create a dust right like the original HomePod

Excellent room filling sound, but I was a bit disappointed to find out that it doesn’t connect direct to my smart bulbs. Siri also isn’t as good of an assistant as Alexa. However, the sound quality is fantastic for a tiny speaker, and if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem, the ease of use can’t be beaten.

So cute and sounds great, and good value. Nice to have different colors to choose from.

We've been working on setting up a Smart Home and the homepods have been a great alternative to using Amazon and Google products that I trust much less with what data they are collecting. The sound on them is great, they're easy to set up and use.

I bought one and liked it so much I bought 3 more. Although I use Echo dots for communication, these blow the dots away for sound. I can't believe how something so small can sound so good. Very easy to set up and to pair if you want stereo sound.

I didn’t realize that this wasn’t a wireless speaker. Buying an Apple product who would’ve thought they’d be selling something that needs to be plugged into a wall the entire time. I bought this as a gift and would’ve gone with a beats pill or another wireless speaker. The speaker does sound very well.

Although it’s not super loud it has a really great sound. It can go almost anywhere without looking out of place. If your in the apple eco system it’s an awesome add on to your Apple TV setup. Highly recommend.

I must say that I really like Apple Products, and this is no exception. The sound is great and I like the fact that it is a Smart Speaker. I am still considering purchasing the larger HomePod as well because I prefer more base in my music.

Work well and is easy to pair with existing Apple products. For being a small speaker the sound is good. Does sometimes have trouble connecting to the internet which is a bit of a bummer as I have never had that issue with an Amazon product. Set up was a bit of a pain, but after the initial set up it’s easy to use.

I bought this for my niece as a gift and she loves it. She wanted something small. Although it is small she says the sound is amazing. It also easily integrates with her apple products (phone, computer).
