Customer Ratings & Reviews

The connectivity via airplay is problematic when using spotify (with apple music is better but not everyone has it). I never could connect it to my mac and it disconnects randomly from my iphone. The sound is good (when it works).

I love the sound and compatibility with all of my devices. So easy to set up and use

Excellent speaker with integration into Apple Home iOS, a bit pricey for other smart speakers, but if using apple, a great product.

Very good product love using it and easy to use helps knowing weather before work ! Only short coming is it doesn’t play Spotify !!

I love this thing. The sound is amazing. If your into iTunes you should get this just for the music feature alone.

Big smart home and Apple fan but the HomePod still just misses the mark when compared to my Google Home products. I purchased this hoping it would be a nice addition to my office space but honestly, the audio quality isn't great for a big room so if you're putting this on a desk and it'll be in the corner, it'll work great and sound amazing. But otherwise, I'd save my money and buy something else. The setup is super easy, as it is with all Apple products but this is a lot more expensive than competitor wireless speakers and it's not portable.

Sound is amazing and is well balanced. Bass sounds great and is easy to connect to

One of my favorite speakers. Sounds great for such a small speaker. Pairs easily with most apple products. I have ordered two more.

Very good sound but not as educated as Alexa and is higher priced. I think it should have a detachable power cord. Otherwise it is a typical good Apple product.

The mini pod is perfect for my room. I have movie night any night of the week.

Small little speaker with so much excitement. Sound quality is better than what you would expect for the price.

Love it. Love Apple. If you you bought the original HomePod these are great if you have two hooked up as a stereo pair.

Purchased 2 of these. Works great with iPhone music and Mac Mini. Sound is good. Easily recognizes my voice and operates.

I have these in several places in my house and I love it

We have always loved apple products, we upgraded our home pod for this mini. Absolutely love it!

Pros: - Sound quality is great; far superior to my existing Echo. - Product feels high quality, all the way down to the fabric textured power cable. I’d have been upset if this came with the generic Apple plastic white cable that inevitably gets dingy/yellow and begins to fray. - You can use other music services outside of Apple Music (via AirPlay), just not natively. I’d prefer natively, but listing this as a pro because I have seen some misleading posts saying services like Spotify cannot be used at all. That is incorrect. Cons (most regard it severely lacking as a smart speaker): - Cannot set multiple timers. Especially when cooking, I’ll often have multiple timers going on my Echo. - Inability to recognize different people. This one is especially annoying if you want to be able to receive/send calls or texts through the HomePod. The speaker is linked to my phone. Even if I’m not around, anyone with access to the speaker can send or receive messages from me (if the option is enabled), despite the fact they are not me. My options are to either disable the feature entirely, or be aware that anyone (friend or family) who is near the HomePod, would have unfettered access to my messages/calls. - Siri in general is lacking. For instance, if I ask Siri if it is going to rain, all I get is a “yes” or a “no”. If I ask Alexa the same thing, I get a percentage chance of rain and expected amounts. Several other instances, but just one example. - No ability to use other music services (i.e. Spotify, Tidal, etc.) natively with the device. As listed above, it is doable through AirPlay, but this comes at the cost of more in depth voice commands. - Was foolishly hoping the Nest would become HomeKit compatible since Apple made HomeKit authorization digital now (no longer requires physical hardware). That is not the case. Another thing to keep in mind, Apple’s control over smart home items is limited to HomeKit devices. More may come soon with recent changes to HomeKit, but if you have anything from Google (like the Nest) don’t get your hopes up and factor into your purchase decision. Conclusion: Overall, the speaker is great, for a speaker. As an introduction to a smart speaker? Not so much. I would only recommend this (currently) to users who are subscribers to Apple Music, primarily use Apple mobile devices, and who have HomeKit enabled devices. Many of my complaints can be resolved via over the air software updates. However, I’d say don’t buy and wait for that to happen, wait for that to happen and THEN buy. Apple is far less likely to address these complaints if they get solid sales of the device out the door.

Love my homepod Mini. I purchased two, one for my home, one for my office. Use it for music every day.

This is a great speaker. Highly recommended. When paired with a second HomePod, the audio quality is amazing.

Easy to use, good price and ots small enough to put anywhere

Great product. Gave it as a gift to my mom for her to use with her iPad and it is user friendly enough for her to operate alone.
