Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent sound quality for such a small device. Easy to set up and work with my Apple TV.

The sound from the speaker is great. Wasn't expecting the volume to be so loud. Will purchase more

The mini home pod is a great addition to your apple ecosystem. The sound from such a little speaker is amazing. Would recommend this for anyone looking to add sound to a small room or use for extra TV sound.

I have a pair of these in one room and a pair of Home Pods in our family room. Very good sound for a small speaker. Nice that you can pair two of them for stereo. Also nice that you can use them as a sound source for Apple TV 4K, (not sure if it works the same way with a standard Apple TV). That said, if your looking for excellence with an Apple speaker pair, better to splurge for the Home Pod. The Home Pods are a big step up from the Home Pod mini. But you’ll pay for it. When looking for smart speakers and smart home devices, privacy should be a consideration. Compare Apple privacy with other companies smart device agreements.

The main selling point of this speaker is two things, the ease of use being a speaker made from apply and being in that ecosystem, and the small form factor of the speaker. Both of which were the two things that let me down about this speaker. The first point I will dive into isn't mainly about this speaker but Siri in general and that is to say it sucks. The wait time to get Siri to reply, or do a simple task like stopping my alarm in the morning is more dreadful than just reaching over to my phone and doing it manually. Combining a terrible AI from Apple with a speaker that is supposed to be the hardware version of Siri, it sucks to say that this device failed due to Apple's poor AI. The second portion of this review and the second biggest selling point to the speaker is the form factor which I can say is very small and blends into the background. However due to the small form factor, the speakers suffer greatly, and I am not new to the small form factor speakers as I am coming from products made by UE, Marshall, and Sony to name a few. This product lacks the "umph" that is needed in the small form factor and it unfortunately doesn't have the feature set to justify the Apple price tag.

I do love this speaker. I purchased an open box so I paid a little bit less. The sound is very good comparing to the Echo Premium sound and the google nest mini. I have stereo pairs of all three but decided to sell the Echo when I got the HomePod minis. I have noticed a lag when pairing with Apple TV. I have used the calibration tool more than once. Maybe when apple allows them as default tv speakers? But they are very cool! I love the integration with my phone and watch. I am especially happy with this purchase since apple began supporting lossless quality Apple Music streaming.

The sound is perfect, great base and immersive I pair it and putnin Different rooms as well

Excellent speaker but the connectivity is complicated, it took a long time to figure out how to connect it each time we need to use it and turning it on and off, although you just tap it sometimes it don’t work

Excellent product. Audio is great and can be played loud! Highly recommended

The HomePod by far is the best sounding smart speaker you can buy on the market. However, due to the fact many manufacturers don’t support Apple HomeKit, Siri falls behind in terms of overall functionality. But the main highlight of the HomePod is the sound. Though the sound is room filling, it is best when it is stereo paired, which dramatically changes the entire listening experience. Also, if you have 2 HomePods and an Apple TV 4K, you can use HomePods for Dolby Atmos sound which is amazing. Overall, it’s a really good sounding speaker and has tons of bass, yet somehow remains balanced, presumably due to the fact there is a dedicated sub component within the HomePod which is about 4”. The audio is very clear, and the HomePod gets very loud. In my experience, I would recommend putting the HomePod about 5-7 inches away from a wall, this will give the HomePod better functionality in terms of its sound beaming capabilities. it makes a huge difference, it’s just the basic physics of sound. One thing that is important to note is that this device is for people who are heavily invested into the Apple EcoSystem, and are subscribers of Apple Music, because yes they do have 3rd party music support from platforms such as Spotify and Pandora, however the functionality is not ideal due to it still being implemented and developed. Also this is not a Bluetooth speaker and is only AirPlay compatible, meaning you need an Apple device to stream to it, if you aren’t using Siri on the HomePod to ask it play music.

Heavenly. What else can I say? We have two set up and fall asleep to beautiful sounds. Works seamlessly with Apple devices.Best purchase. Love love it

Overall, I really like the HomePod mini. The sound quality is great, and the Siri functions work seamlessly. The only reason I'm giving the product 4 stars is due to the inconsistent handoff from my iPhone to the HomePod.

I have this set up in a newly renovated room that leans a little into dark colors. So this blue really pops in my space below is my generic review of the HomePod Mini. Honestly shocked at how much I like this little speaker. It sounds great for podcasts (a little less so for music I must admit). And in a HomeKit enabled home, it works pretty well at taking commands. We have three total now and being able to airplay throughout the house is really cool!

Quality sound in a small package. Get two and play in stereo. Siri still hasn't got the smarts of the competition, but she's getting better. Would buy again.

I love this little guy. It sounds great, fast, responsive. Looks good on a table or shelf. Comes attached to a nice braided cable and includes the 20w charger.

I can hear my television much better now. It sounds so great.

Wanted one because of the apple ecosystem but I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality for this size and this price. I'll be getting another one to pair.

Excellent sound quality for the price and size. I got this as a Christmas present for my roomate. He’s loved it so far and it’s so loud for the size, bass is somewhat lacking but that’s to be expected for something this size.

We love our home pod! This is the second one we have bought and we have loved them. Works well with our TV sound too.

I have a couple of these small Apple speakers. I love the fact that it fits anywhere in my house.
