Purchased to replace a larger, non-smart bluetooth speaker. The sound this little speaker makes is massive, and the connectivity to the rest of my Apple ecosystem (iPhone 12 Pro, Apple Watch 6, MacBook Pro 15") is seamless!

I LOVE THIS SPEAKER! It’s so easy to set up and use not had a single problem, handy when I don’t have my phone and need the weather or timer app!

I am in absolute love with all the Apple HomePods and these are ORANGE!!! The sound quality as a stereo pair is wonderful. HomePods make using Apple HomeKit so easy. Plus, I don't feel like they spy on me as much as Alexa. You know you mention something near Alexa and suddenly it is on your Amazon feed?

I purchased the home pod for my living room, so I purchased the mini for my bedroom. I love it, Plus they interact with each other I can use as an intercom or play music throughout the home in both rooms at the same time

Great sound from a small speaker. I have the original HomePods around the apartment, and these new smaller versions give almost the same quality of audio in a smaller, and cheaper, speaker. Very happy with my purchase.

Wow! Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of sound that these little HomePod Minis put out! I bought two for my wife's desk and they are awesome! The intercom feature is also pretty cool! I definitely recommend these!

Awesome little speaker! Decided to buy two for the stereo pairing will be buying more to put throughout the house! The sound quality is great with two but a little off with 1. The setup is easy just have your iPhone nearby!

Yeah. Siri ain't that intelligent. Yet. Maybe, later with some updates it might be more intelligent. But, pretty decent when compared to other smart speakers out there.
The sound?
You can't expect this tiny speaker to sound that well!
You'll truly enjoy it.

We bought 2 of these for my mom and mother in law. If they ever have an accident such as a fall for example. “Hey Siri call “so and so”” we placed it in the center of their homes and had them try it from any corner of the house and it picked up their voice. Granted they live in 1100 sq ft homes but I know they have that safety there. It’s a good sounding speaker. Of course it won’t match a Bose but what it does is great. Excellent cooking companion with timers and measurement conversions. Great to play your favorite songs or playlist. I no longer carry my phone with me all over the house since I have 2 at my own home.

Long story short: you need to be in the Apple ecosystem (including Apple Music) to experience HomePod as intended.
Looks/build quality: deceivingly compact, but still feels heavy/solid and very well built as you’d expect from Apple.
Sound: While I won’t use the term “audiophile” I certainly enjoy music and technology and my headphone setup runs ~$8,500, so sound quality is important to me. The HomePod is easily the best sound I’ve heard from a single speaker this compact. It is hi-fi? Of course not, it’s a single speaker that’s <7” tall. It has a fun sound signature with impressive bass for such a small form factor. Don’t expect something you’re going to do critical listening on and you’ll be fine.
Usage/functionality: I use it in a small home office to have some background music. For this purpose it’s been perfect. I am entrenched in the Apple ecosystem and everything works flawlessly together as you’d expect. I did sign up for Apple Music to use with the HomePod and it has worked great. I am not a big Siri user to begin with, so her current limitations don’t bug me at the present time. Voice activation to manage Apple Music, set timers and reminders, etc is perfectly fine for me. When I’m in the office I’m sitting in front of the computer and don’t need more. I only have a couple of connected devices (video doorbell and a smart lock), so using it as a hub isn’t a major concern for me. The voice detection is amazing. HomePod can hear me from another room in the house.
Comparisons: I do have two Echo Dots, one with a Vaux speaker and one with a mokcao power+. The HomePod easily stomps these in terms of sound and build quality, but it should given it’s more than 3x the price. In terms of Siri vs Alexa, they both have their pros and cons. For me it’s basically a wash as far as virtual assistants.
Summary: This is an easy recommendation if you’re an iDevice user and an Apple Music subscriber. Outside of that, the cost and walled garden Are barriers to entry.

Speaking as an Apple Fanboy, this product is As an Apple fanboy, I can say that this product meets the company’s standards. However, the sound output is quite low for my liking, so I ended up purchasing another standard HomePod to fulfill my audio needs. Despite this, I believe it is nice

I bought one for my wife directly from Apple as a Christmas gift since she's heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem. She has a Mac, 3 iPads, an iPhone, and 2 iPods. She was very pleased with the functionality and sound of the HomePod mini, and its integration with other Apple devices. So I bought her another one today at Best Buy for a stereo effect. While they're no match for my 6-speaker system in the family room or my basement mega system, soundwise, I found the quality to be very good for speakers of their size. No buyer's remorse here, folks! Yes, Siri can be kind of ditzy at times, and it would have been great(!) if they supported Dolby Atmos. But it's rare to find any Apple product at this price point, so I'm happy for what they do.

We already had two HomePods in our home, but we decided to get a HomePod mini, as well. The overall value is excellent. While it may not have the exact same audio quality as the full sized HomePod (especially in bass tones -- we're sound/audio nerds!), the mini sounds far better than many of the similar sized "smart speakers" out there from other makers. If you own another Apple product, but haven't bought a HomePod, getting a mini would be a great introduction.
The additional features beyond just playing music are very helpful, and Apple seems to be continuing to improve on them. Being able to set a quick timer, or a reminder (it recognizes who is speaking and ads to the correct person's reminders), or ask a question are all great to have handy.

Amazing device. Connects to my Nanoleaf lighting setup with ease, bulbs and shapes. Voice control leaves a bit more to be desired as with all Siri based voice control systems. Temperature and humidity monitoring is a nice touch. Powerful sound from this small beast. Worth it to buy multiple if needing to span across different rooms

A little on the pricey side but good quality. Good sound from a small form factor. One gripe: there seems to be a glitch with the firmware. Siri will periodically come on and state it’s looking for an item.

I have been a lover of Apple products for years. This is another amazing product by Apple. The speaker has awesome sound and packs a huge punch for it's small size. It connects to any other Apple product with ease.
