Customer Ratings & Reviews

I already have several of these, I like that they can be connected to each other, good sound quality and perfect to add it to your apple tv and watch movies

Love it for my office. It is perfect size and color and has easy connection with my phone and desktop.

I bought this after signing up for Apple Music and wanted a compatible speaker. Great sound, very easy to set up (just hold your iPhone up to it), and definitely worth the money.

Great sound, great integration with the Apple ecosystem, compact. Basically everything I want in a speaker. I picked it up on sale for $80, which made it a great value in my opinion.

Great sound, great value. For a little speaker, this is able to easily fill up a room. The price point makes it a great value. I wish the charger was a bit smaller, but that is a minor gripe.

I purchased two of these mainly for the small size. I use them as a speaker pair with my Apple TV in my bedroom and it creates a great surroundsound. It also works perfectly with all my HomeKit enable devices

Great sound. Very affordable price given it’s an Apple product.

I waited nearly a year to purchase the HomePod until it went on sale for a not inexpensive, but much more reasonable price for an innovative and well executed speaker design. I took some time to “burn in” the speaker components with a variety of music styles, something done with higher end speakers in expectation of bringing out audio warmth and fidelity. I even placed it in a bay window enclave to act as a sort of speaker horn enclosure so as to enhance the projected sound. Such were my high hopes for how well the HomePod might perform. After all, it had been hyped and compared to higher end stereo equipment due to its genuine technical advances in speaker design. Its WiFi only input maximized the digital music information the advance computer chip could upscale for the multiple speakers calibrated for each personalized listening area. Well, it turns out not to be the aural renaissance of bookshelf audio systems, an unrealistic expectation Apple perpetrated upon itself for this device. Nonetheless, it is a compact and competent sound system that produces music with enough quality to lose yourself in it, absent of harsh or distracting distortions in the musical reproduction. It is a joy to merely ask for whatever song or album comes to mind from memory or suggestion and then be able to listen effortlessly to faithfully reproduced music. That said, and despite being a fan of the Apple ecosystem who harbored high hopes for how well the HomePod would perform, it is evident that it is not, and never will be a high-end bookshelf speaker system that transforms the music from the mundane into some superlative version. Moreover, it is ironic and frustrating that in trying so hard to be more than it is via strict audio source inputs, it is transformed into less than it could be if only Apple would “jailbreak” the HomePod. For starters, it could at least allow Bluetooth 5 audio connections for input. That would unleash it as a top-notch Bluetooth speaker free from depending upon a WiFi network, freely accessing whatever sound sources were available to the listener. A USB-C input would be a cinch winner also, simultaneously inputting audio and charging the audio input device. Yes, I know that would impinge on the revenue stream from Apple Music that is the real money to be made by Apple with the HomePod, but it would enable a moderately high-end audio system and an ultimate midway audio system. It would likely be the preeminent sound system for small-spaces like apartments, dorms, offices, RV’s, work spaces, sheltered exterior spaces, etc. At the same time, doing so would not prevent it serving as the aspirational sound system Apple envisioned. It would dovetail nicely into maximizing their high-dollar X series phones that now have Bluetooth 5, which seemingly allows virtually lossless digital streaming rather the the garbage in, garbage out hyper-compressed digital formats inherent in previous Bluetooth iterations. As it is, the HomePod has garnered a precious small percentage of the smart speaker market as they have virtually required an Apple Music subscription to make use of their speaker. In pursuit of their version of the perfect sound system, Apple has destroyed the very good, and for most customers of a device like this, good enough is perfect. That still leaves the not-so-smart-speaker problem of poor, dear, simple Siri’s incompetence at summoning anything but Apple Music (or most anything else reliably) that severely limits HomePod's utility as a go-to music and other listening device. That one will not go away until Apple develops the in-house talent to build Siri out as seemingly envisioned originally, or the in-house vision to develop her by building out that talent however those billions of earnings might increase product value. Then Siri might just tell me she does not have access to Willie and Lobo in her music catalogue rather than giving me some random Willie Nelson album.

The sound is Great and loud can be annoying when you get to close it turns on but I’m use to it by now!

Love this mini HomePod. It was very easy to set up and the sound quality is great. I use it when watching tv and films on my iPad. The handoff from iPhone to HomePod is a great feature. A great little gadget.

I love this little speaker! I keep it in my office and use it all day long. Sounds great and more than that - connectivity with other Apple products is so seamless and easy! Love the color too! I hope they offer other colors in the future - it makes it more fun.

Great speaker sound and so easy to add to our existing WIFI. The music plays from room to room as you walk through the home at a consistent volume. They can even serve as an intercom as well.

A perfect solution for small space audio to pair with your Apple ecosystem. This tiny little fella makes sure that you can hand off sound and phone calls with a simple process. The audio isn't great, especially when looking for deeper bass, but there is nothing comparable in terms of sound quality for this cost and size. It's missing a few things like waterproof and the ability to operate without being plugged in. Siri integration, voice recognition and seamless integration with all of your apple products (including those that are in your Apple Home family) makes this a great addition to your collection. The added colors makes it even more attractive.

Love it, dead easy to set up, have one in my office, living room and bedroom, can can control all my HomeKit devices, the office one is used to listen to Radio while working, sound is very good.

We got this for my parents, in part to stream music from Apple Music, but mostly because it was a cheap and easy way to get a HomeKit Hub. The sound is a bonus. (I have about 8 around my house too, and they're wonderful.)

The best purchase I've made my daughter bought the echo dot and as much as I love android and she loves apple she bought the echo dot because of the price when she came home to play her echo dot the sound was so dull and weak you could barely hear it no base nothing so I told her to return it weeks later I saw this apple speaker it was more money but after testing it out I figured it would have better sounds so let's buy it and try it at home where the truth begins so we did after coming home and testing this apple speaker out I must say this was the best purchase made

Having been a fan of the original HomePod, I wanted to give this little guy a try. And wow, this little thing has a wonderful sound in such a small footprint. Will definitely get a few more of these!

Excellent sound for it's size. The handoff from iphone to homepod and back is seemless. Only wish it would work with other music services directly rather than using airplay to cast music.

This speaker is powerful for such a small size! The one negative about this speaker is it is not wireless! Apple really knows how to mess over consumers! For no reason should this speaker not be wireless!

This review is only about the HomePod mini itself, audio quality and convenience features for Apple device users. I would not recommend this product unless you have at least an iPhone or an Apple TV. At $99 these are certainly a more expensive option but in this case what you get is totally worth it! Sound quality is amazing for a wireless speaker. Paired with an Apple TVK plus a second HomePod mini and it is an unexpectedly wonderful experience. Keep in mind that there is no AUX jack or any ports of any kind... And the power cable is fixed. I could complain about some things but I did get more than I expected. Great value for Apple device users, not remended unless you have at least an iPhone, iPad or Apple TVK.
