Amazing sound, perfect size. Not as versatile as Amazon’s Alexa but wonderful if you are a part of Apples ecosystem

Works as my home hub, gives your house Siri basically. Nice to get siri without your phone. Ones linked to my Apple TV and on the wall next to the bed so I can keep quite while watching at night

We purchased three of these, have one in a room in its own and a pair synched to each other to provide full stereo sound. We live the way these little speakers sound and enjoy the ability to ask siri to play music either from out itunes library or a radio station from pandora. I would definitely recommend these to anyone who uses apple products.

This is another product that I really wanted to love, but didn't. I just don't feel the need to have a smart speaker at my beck and call. To be honest Alexa and Google Assistant are better at that than Siri. I'm a prominent Apple user, but I'm honest. What really hurts this cute little speaker is that it could be amazing, IF Apple allowed the user to determine how it connected, or improve the connectivity. Here is my rant: I have the Mac mini 2020. These don't have a mic and a poor onboard speaker. So, I looked into using this as an extension. You would think that APPLE, would have seen this coming, and made a no-brainer up-sale opportunity. NO. The mic won't sync, and, as an external speaker, the audio delay and anomalous behavior is enough to think that you've time traveled to 15 years ago. Also, because what drives this speaker is AirPlay, it appears to have a mind of its own at times, playing what was left in its queue, vs what you want to play from your device--Assuming it is able to tell which device you want to connect to at the time. Ultimately I just found it to NOT be worth my time nor the money I spent and I returned it. Because my simple JBL Charge 3.0 Bluetooth speaker was far more reliable in terms of responsiveness with less quirky behavior. In my opinion, Apple really dropped the ball on a use-case scenario that they either didn't see coming, or didn't care to capitalize on.

First of all to all it’s so sad that most people don’t appreciate good sound quality when I see reviews comparing these speakers to Amazon Echo or Google Home (except the Google Max) it makes me cringe, I can’t even sample a song A song in any those it’s comparing apples and oranges I can’t believe people listen to music in those things... I know cause I also have the Google Home. Now these: single or stereo create IMHO the best soundstage of any bookshelf speaker “smart or not “ under $500. Even at $350 ea ($700 pair) you won’t find anything better or even close for under $1000 and most likely you will have to add a subwoofer just to replicate the bass tonality these HomePod are capable of producing. I bought a pair on sale for $200 ea ($400 pair) To me that was a steal, a no brainer. And yes I’m aware of the lack of Bluetooth accessibility and the only Apple Music could be play using Siri, but you could AirPlay anything else and there’s no difference in sound quality in fact that’s the way I usually use these. My advice if you’re inclined to buy these and you see them on sale for less than retail just snatch them you won’t regret it ;)

Small but yet powerful doesn’t take up a lot of space great product

Having had the bigger HomePod I’ll say this one is very comparable to it. Great sound for such a small size.

I absolutely love HomePod mini. I have two, one on each side of the TV. I use Apple TV to stream everything and sound is through the HomePods. Omg. You will never go back to the normal TV’s own speakers. I try switching back and forth and there’s a huge difference in the sound quality. I plan to buy a couple more to keep in other rooms as intercom and stream music simultaneously around house.

Easy setup, great sound and excellent value. I can add Siri and sound to every room.

This actually really helped out as for my Apple Home devices like smart locks etc

Good sound quality and smaller design makes it easy to put around the house. Was able to pair them which is nice.

Great powerful sound for such a small device. Siri is extremely helpful as well.

First and foremost, I love the sound that comes from my HomePod. I also have an Echo 1, an Echo 2, an Echo Show, an Echo Dot and two Sonos Play:1 speakers. The HomePod sounds much better than any of the Echo Devices. The HomePod has very solid bass and very clear highs. Midrange is a little lacking though. The Echos sound flat and a little muddy in comparison. Compared to the Play:1, The HomePod has slightly stronger bass and slightly clearer highs. Where the Play:1 has an advantage is midrange. The sound from the Sonos is a little fuller overall but also a slightly muddier. The thing I like most about the Echo devices is their ability to play so many stations with voice commands. iHeartRadio and Radio.com are 2 of my favorite providers. I can play them on the HomePod but only thru my iPhone or iPad. I cannot ask for them with my voice. If I could, I would use the HomePod much more often. I can only use Apple Music with the HomePod using my voice. This is great if I know exactly the song and artist I'm looking for. However, the Apple Music playlists are not as good as the stations on iHeartRadio and I can't ask for local sports radio. I can only get ESPN radio using Siri. So far, my Play:1 speakers only work thru the Sonos app for me. I should be able to send music to them with an Echo but there is some sort of conflict on my network preventing them from working properly. If I can get this straightened out, I will stream more often to them. Overall I would recommend the HomePod to people that use the Apple ecosystem. Especially if you love Apple Music. Right now, I'm setting up my own apple Music Playlists. Once I do that, I will likely use the HomePod more. If I could use my HomePod like my Echo devices, I would give it 5 stars all day. But because Siri is so lacking in smarts, I deducted a star. Others might deduct more but I do love the sound...

Sounds great for such small device. Also very handy to get remote access for Apple Home and for using Thread enabled smart home devices.

Absolutely love it. Will het another to pair it. Sound is amazing. Great price point. I think will be perfect.

So much better than the echo dots or smaller google speakers. Great sound quality and design for the size.

The sound quality is great and it goes pretty loud for its size. It works great for day to day casual listening.

Great Product Amazing Sound & Loud & Clear The Best

I bought as I gift - very easy to connect and great sound .. I would definitely recommend this product..

I bought two of this to use in stereo pair connected to my Apple TV 4K. And it works awesome. Of course, they don't provide the same level of bass as dedicated subwoofer but I'm not the one who likes too much bass. I value crystal clear voices more. And 2 HomePods mini work perfect for me. Much better than built-in TV speakers anyway. Plus, I can use them as regular smart speakers as well. Set up was super easy as well
