    When they say mini , they really mean mini. Its the size of an oversized apple ( get it Apple ). Yet it packs sound power and bass. This home entertainment speaker is worth the buy.

    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.

    I have really enjoyed this and will probably purchase others. I wish Apple offered a screen such as its competitors, but... Anyway, it offers good sound and I like the size and price of it.

    The setup was super easy. I got a pair for stereo sound and use with my Apple tv. I did had to exchange one 3 times because it wasn’t working consistently when through airplay. Hopefully Apple will have a fix for that soon!

    This is my second HomePod mini and I am using it in a different room, not pairing the two together. The HomePod mini offers an impressive rich sound that will fill a room. The setup is super simple.

    I went from "hmm" to "WOW" - here's why...

    The Apple HomePod mini surprised me - in a surprisingly and wholly unexpected way. By itself, the sound is good, I'd call it better than similar priced devices from Amazon, and in it's diminutive size it crushes a comparably-sized Amazon device. Set up was the usual wonderfully easy Apple experience and took only a few minutes. Where this sizzled for me, a wow factor I didn't expect - as I was playing with sound from my Sonos and Bose devices I discovered in a single click I had Sonos+Apple Mini! And WOW suddenly the HomePod mini took off as part my Sonos speakers and subwoofer. My home office, spot for the HomePod mini, suddenly had that extra level of depth. I'll admit I went from "hmm, I'm not sure" to "wowza, keeping this!" A fellow shopper in my local Honolulu store was also the typical enthusiast/salesperson. She saw me playing with the in store demo and came over and made sure I knew it was on sale and said to buy two, not one, and the music will take off. So I'll pay that forward - by itself, it's Good, especially if you already have Apple devices in general. But she had the right advice and I have to agree - if you have Sonos, click the button in your Apple phone or iPad to have it all come together. If not, get two of these little softballs to fill in great sound in a small space. That's why I give it 5 stars/Excellent - it's Good by itself, but the sizzle is when you bring in one more, then it hits Excellent.

    Perfect smart speaker addition to a small room

    The sound of this is perfect for a small room (normal HomePod would be too big/loud). Apple hits it out of the ballpark again with its design and attention to detail. Everything from the setup to the configuration was easy.

    Fantastic sound, with a catch

    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.

    Decent mini speakers but expensive

    Bought 2 open box Homepod Minis, both in white, at separate times within 2 weeks of each other. Harder to find yellow and orange versions. It's still Overpriced for what it is but saved some money by buying the open box returned items. Wipe them both down with disinfect wipes to clean. One qualified for Applecare while the other did not. Doesn't matter as it won't leave the house and both appeared really new as in people returned it almost immediately so BB can't resell as new. The sound is acceptable, considering it's only used for streaming music and audiobooks from my iPhone. Set them up to have stereo pairing, one on the left and one on the right of each other and used in the living room. There's a slight pause when turning on to stream but it works. Siri is a pain as it doesn't work well so only used to get outside weather temperature and the current time. What's needed for future versions: 1. Battery power option 2. Removable power cable, like the bigger Homepod 2. 3. Include the Bluetooth functionality 4. Work with other devices like PCs/laptops and Non-Apple TVs (as a normal (dumb) speaker) 5. Add stereo pairing with the bigger Homepod speaker 6. Add the update button in the Home app 7. Add instructions on how to Reset the mini (press down on top until lights turn red then white, hopefully it beeps to tell you that it's done). There are other brands with better speakers and prices that offer better functionality. Apple's Homepod [Mini] speakers are meant for Apple users in the Apple ecosystem.

    Great sound, and it works seemlessly with my other Apple devices. It is small enough to blend with its surroundings, too. Set up was a breeze…just place it near your iPhone and it’s done!

    I purchased this from Best Buy, and this thing is great! Works great, easy to use, and, for such a small product, the sound is incredible! This will replace my Bose in the bedroom, and will sit perfectly on the night stand.

    These are great around the house! Not as loud as my HomePods, but definitely has great sound for such a small speaker. Doesn’t have as many features as other smart speakers such as echo dot, but it’s compatible with the Apple Ecosystem so that’s the plus side. Intercom is a nice feature as well.

    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 picked this Apple Home Pod Mini to analyze and test it for ease of use with Home theater system. I'm impressed with the performance. I haven't had any issues it looks and feels great and I 've used it to set up Apple home devices also. It has a USB cable to keep the unit plugged into power at all times. No battery level on this unit. Even are all the color choices to place one in every room as an intercom and such. I chose black to have all tech blacked out when movie led back lights are on, If you are on the fence about which Mac Mini compared to oter small speakers, don't lose anysleep on this one. It's worth the value.
