Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

My whole house is Apple/homekit so I guess this is a little easier for me to like this HomePod. But man using two of these as stereo speakers for my bedroom tv is awesome. Loud and clear sound in a small space is exactly what I needed. Didn’t want to buy a whole sound bar. Plus it syncs with my whole house set up.

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.

A stereo pair of these is about the best speaker setup one can get for $200. They sound good for the price but will not be impressing very many. Admittedly, they don’t sound as good as a single original HomePod, but for $200 I can’t much complain. This is the only use for HomePods (original or mini)— they are speakers with huge limitations. Audio aside, as a smart speaker they’re indeed pretty bad, hence four stars and not five. Siri is a chore to interact with and struggles with even official HomeKit accessories (Phillips Hue comes to mind). As a pure speaker they’re also lacking, having no wired or Bluetooth options. Airplay is vastly better for audio quality but AudioOS 15.1 introduced speaker failure while using Airplay, and non-Apple devices won’t play nice. Long term support is poor. The original HomePod was discontinued and had a hardware flaw causing many to break entirely mere years in with no repair options. Non-Apple speakers typically last at least a decade, so this is disappointing and makes for a spotty investment. Approach with caution, I bought them as quasi-disposables and won’t be too upset if they break.

Amazing sound quality compared to other voice assistants. Easy to use, intuitive with the Apple ecosystem, and good cord length. Siri sends information to your phone more than making statements out loud like Alexa, which can be inconvenient at times. The cord does not detach from the device and I was not a fan of that, as any cord repairs would mean a whole unit replacement, and the integration with Spotify does not feel as native or intuitive as if you use Apple Music. If you want an assistant primarily for music, this has the best sound quality, however if you want an assistant for the assistance, Alexa outperforms Siri in terms of information it’s able to display and provide, witch a more consumer-friendly price-point, and is cheaper to repair/replace.

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.

It has nice sound from a small package. I have several throughout the house, and it’s nice to play music easily all over. Combined with HomeKit, they make it easy to have Siri in each room for smart home control and automation.

Easy set up and flawless everyway use. Good size to stow away from view if desired.

I bought this to pair with my other HomePod mini so I could use it as a sound bar of sorts and I do not regret it! It was so easy to pair them all together and it sounds amazing!

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.

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.

If you are deep in the apple ecosystem, like I am, you will appreciate the HomePod mini. Not only does it give you access to Siri, but it also tells you the temperature and humidity in the room and allows you to use it as a speaker for an Apple TV. In this instance, I purchased this HomePod to use in the kitchen for timer and to listen to music. This smart speaker is a great addition to my HomeKit accessories.

Great sound for the price, This is my third HomePod mini. This one fills my art room with music. It was easy to set up and they are easy to use with the TV. Works seamlessly with all of my other Apple products

Super loud for how small it is. If you are in the Apple ecosystem then it’s a solid buy. It’s also nice and compact so it hides in a room well. You might have to buy an extra piece if you’re setting up smart bulbs so just look into what ever company you’re buying them from.

This is a little neat speaker that is very well made. It is pricy but you get what you pay for. Easily fills a bedroom or office with plenty of clear sound. Siri also works with this speaker. Cant recommend enough and will likely buy a second one to have as a computer pair.

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.

This is a very good speaker. Surprised at its range of sound. Works well with our Apple products, like Apple Music- it just takes over for the phone by just holding it close to the speaker. I look forward to using it on Apple TV to add a speaker closer to where I am sitting.

I know this thing is getting bad reviews but overall it is an awesome, powerful little speaker. The bass and sound quality is great for the price and Siri is okay, it definitely needs a bit of updating when it comes to functionality. Overall, I am happy with this purchase.

We have multiple Mini Home pods in different rooms. Two create stereo sound. Works great with an Apple TV when you have two mini home pods as a sound bar alternative

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.
