Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is an absolutely wonderful and surprisingly powerful little speaker! It’s also absolutely packed with awesome features and it works so effortlessly and seamlessly with any Apple device. Setup literally takes less than 2 minutes; just hold your device near it and it’ll automatically register it. It also has the ability to control your entire smart home with Siri, as well as the ability to do all other features Siri can do. I absolutely love the cool colors they come in, and I also love that you can pair two of these together in one room to make a set of stereo speakers. It’s roughly the size of a softball, but it has the power and sound of a speaker triple it’s size. It also has 360° audio as well as the ability to play music in spatial audio from Apple Music. And the price of it makes it an absolute bargain, making it very easy to have one for the entire family in each of their bedrooms, which also allows you to fully utilize the intercom function of HomePods, which is a super cool feature that works exactly like it sounds, acting as intercoms throughout the whole house to each speaker or to only certain speakers you choose, and you’re able to use this feature from your phone to communicate with someone at home on their HomePod. These are the absolute coolest smart speakers that also offer excellent sound quality and beautiful aesthetics and work flawlessly with Apple products, so it’s especially great for those who already have and own Apple products, but it’s also great for those without any Apple products as well.

Having purchased a pair of Home Pods on on launch day from Best Buy (at the $349 price) I've been a long-time fan of the smart speaker category. It wasn't long before my Google Home and Amazon Echos became paperweights. This HomePod mini at a $99 price point makes for the perfect stocking stuffer or even primary gift. In fact it does some things even better than the original. Sound quality is amazing, particular when paired with another for left/right Stereo. Even solo, they produce surprisingly full volume from a small sphere. Siri still trails the other smart assistance, and sends me to my phone more than I care to admit, but the utility of these are amazing. Adding them to rooms in your house makes your abode that much more accessible. Also cool is the ability to schedule or add events to play specific music or playlist based on a trigger (Wake up event, bed time chime, sunrise, sunset, etc. ). We used an Eve outlet to turn on Christmas tree, so "Siri, Christmas time" turned it on, dimmed other (Lutron Caseta) lights, and started playing Christmas Music throughout the house. My wife and I purchased a dozen of these between BB and Apple, mostly as gifts. The responses have been overwhelmingly positive, especially among those who's only other Apple device is an iPhone, thus making this an excellent gateway entry expanding usage on the ecosystem. The new to iOS 14 feature for HomePod mini has to be the INTERCOM. With it you can use your iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, or other HomePod to communicate with Mini's in other rooms. "Hey Siri, intercom, We're starting the movie", or "has anyone taken the dogs out?". Your voice is then played either through the HomePods and mini's in every room, specific rooms, or just a floor (based on the room and floor you select upon setup) Family members then "reply, I did, got it" or whatever. This sure beats the 70s built-in wall units of yesteryear. Additionally the new Mini sports Thread Mesh Networking protocol, so the more Thread devices you add, the more redundant, and wider your mesh network becomes. We're also starting to see other manufactures support Thread, namely $20 Nanoleaf interactive color light bulbs. PROS +compact cute WAF wife-acceptance factor +surprising sound quality +cool factor adds tech to every room +Whole-house (floor, or room) Intercom is great +Thread Mesh Networking future proofs expanded functionality +magic price point +Apple Music and playlist integration CONS -only big brother model sports Dolby Atmos -would love to see a $179 / 2-pack for stereo CONCLUSION This product might be one of Apple's more successful sleeper hits, if the Reddit /Homepod forum is to be believed. Countless new users RAVE about sound quality, and then are later ingratiated with other features they didn't know it could do. Recommend : BUY !!

If you have as many apple products in your household as I do, the learning curve on taming this little monster is a few days long. (This is my first experience with wifi speakers) For the price and size, the sound is amazingly good. It's very sturdily made and looks good in the room. I'm adding several more to experience the full capabilities of the tech. I have an elderly hard of hearing relative, and this speaker's been great for her. It connects to the Apple TVs and to her iPad when needed. The sound is clear and full and she has no trouble hearing it. Once you learn how to speak to the Siri who lives in this little guy, it natively accesses your podcasts and Apple Music, and with a few more well-chosen words, is able to stream Spotify playlists from your phone, computer, or Apple TV. As a bonus it measures the ambient temp and humidity where it's seated. If you're ambitious, you can teach it to control your whole house! Baby steps.

Very good mini HomePod speaker it work really good not bad for the price Best Buy is the best store to buy electronics I always buy here great customer service love this store I would recommend it

The HomePod Mini is a smart speaker developed by Apple Inc. It is a smaller and more affordable version of the original HomePod. The HomePod Mini is designed to provide high-quality audio and smart home integration in a compact size. It features a spherical shape with a fabric mesh covering and comes in two colors: white and space gray. The HomePod Mini is powered by Apple's S5 chip and uses computational audio to deliver high-quality sound. It also features Siri, Apple's voice assistant, which can be used to control music playback, set reminders, and control smart home devices. The HomePod Mini can also be used as an intercom system with other HomePods and Apple devices. The HomePod Mini can be set up and controlled using the Home app on an iPhone or iPad. It can also be used with other music streaming services like Spotify and Pandora. The HomePod Mini is compatible with Apple's HomeKit, which allows users to control smart home devices like lights, thermostats, and locks using Siri.

Good sound, not as loud or the bass that the full blown Homepod has but when it paired, sounds great!! I use them as ambient sound when I am studying, which is perfect because is not to loud but is super clear, also I use them as speakers for my Mac Mini and PC (TuneBlade App) they look great! Easy to set up, is Apple, great quality!

I am writing this review in hopes this helps others thinking to buy them. This review is for 2 HomePod mini stereo paired. I bought one black and one white. They have to be paired in the home app on an iPhone and then updated separately. This is a pain, but be patient. Once paired, you can use with airplay. I personally just use them as a pair of speakers for my Mac mini. You can use airplay, or actually use as the audio output. I have issues with one speaker not working while the output, always works as airplay. You cannot use the EQ in airplay, only as output. Sometimes there is a gap in seamless tracks, sometimes there isn't. But all in all, I am very pleased with them. They sound great. I can use with all my apple devices. I do not use Siri, but it is possible. There is an intercom I also do not use. It is not as simple as bluetooth speakers. They do not charge, but do require a USB-c power block (included, whew). My Mac mini would not power them despite having 4 usb-c jacks. Music and movies sound great. 360 sound. I used to have the JBL BT speaker, but it died. I am not mad I replaced it with these. There are also stands that I recommend for cable management.

I love it has great sound. I like that is small but the sound is great. I want get one every room in the house

Incredibly compact and very well built! Well worth the money if you’re looking for a good home assistant and you want to be in the Apple ecosystem. Pros: - Sound quality is absolutely amazing for the size. Honestly impressed with how Apple has done this. - Extremely compact so can be kept very easily on a corner table or desk - Integrated with Siri and HomeKit so it works great as a digital assistant - Very easy to set up, takes seconds to connect on an iPhone, compared to the tedious process required to set up an Alexa device Cons: - On the expensive side compared to an Alexa or Google device (sound quality makes up for it though, miles better than the other two) - Space Grey model comes with a black body and black cable but a white power adapter. Looks a little odd and not very aesthetically pleasing

Great little smart speaker it offers awesome quality sound for any type of room in your home. Loud, easy & convenient if you dont want a large speaker. Siri is also a amazing tool on this homepod mini. I’d definitely recommend than the bigger homepod in my opinion!

This is a great smart speaker. The sound quality is excellent for it having such a small size. It works great paired with my Apple TV 4K streaming box and having the Siri smart assistant on it works great for giving voice commands and getting information. I would highly recommend this smart speaker for anyone invested in the Apple ecosystem.

Nice sound but I recommend adjusting the bass down a bit. Very responsive to airplayand voice commands.

Great sound and small clasy 5 st product exelent for bathroom

We mainly purchased the HomePod mini so we could listen to a playlist while working. The sound is incredible from such a small device. It fits perfectly on the desk and is almost hidden. The only problem is you have to plug it into an outlet so you are limited on where you can place it.

I have two HomePod minis now and while the sound isn't phenomenal, the quality and value together are fantastic. I've tested them in a stereo configuration and it had some bugs but after resetting them, they worked great as computer speakers. I also like that now you can access the humidity and temperature data that was inaccessible before; this is handy for setting up home automations or just if you're curious about the temperature/humidity of a room.

Really love these HomePod minis! Started out with one and now this will be our 4th! Little by little, we keep adding them to each room in the house (kitchen, living room, bedroom, playroom, etc). Really like how two can be connected as TV speakers and the sound quality is really good for such a small device! They also serve as HomeKit hubs so having them around the house has made our smart devices even more responsive.

Awesome sound and great response. I think it’s worth the price.

Apple's HomePod mini packs a punch in a compact design. With impressive sound quality and seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem, it's a smart speaker delivers big on both audio and intelligence. HomePod mini is a stylish addition to any home.

Love the sound, fills the room. I’m currently on my 4th mini, first space gray. One cool feature when you have multiples home pod, you can play music throughout your house(perfect for Christmas music in December).

As a person in the apple ecosystem this is pretty awesome. Currently trying to wean off the family from the Amazon ecosystem and over to Apple HomeKit. Unfortunately it might be a 2 ecosystem household. Used the Nanoleaf a19 with HomePod sucked for a bit but now connected without issues. Meross matter plugs work really good with the HomePod. Really nice that it connects with Apple TV obviously if you have enough pods make a surround system.
