Customer Ratings & Reviews

The speaker sounds really good for this size, playing music from all Hompods at the same time is amazing. Siri needs some work. They respond most of the time and I need to use Homebridge to make them as good as Google or Alexa. My biggest issue is if I am holding my phone and it goes anywhere near the Homepod, it just grabs my music even if it is not actively playing music and I have to keep shutting it down

Nice addition to our HomeKit house. Really easy to connect with great sound. We just have one but will be adding another later. Definitely recommended

A cinch to set up. Looks great. Sounds good for the size. Can fit anywhere. SIRI is getting better every day.

Setup was a breeze – just a few taps on my iPhone, and I was ready to enjoy immersive sound throughout my home. Siri’s voice recognition is impressive, effortlessly responding to commands even in noisy environments. The intercom feature adds a convenient touch, allowing seamless communication between HomePod Minis in different rooms.

Fantastic sound from a small electronic. Very useful and easy to use. Replaced all Amazon echos with one home pod mini

Loud enough fir my office and great decor! Huge apple product fan and this doesn’t fail_

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.

Went to the store to find a Bluetooth speaker and was looking at Bose/JBL/Sonos/Marshall. Then remembered that Apple had a speaker. Found the home pod mini and was sure it would not sound good due to the size. After playing it we decided that that was the one and met the needs. I will say the one con is you cannot use it to play Bluetooth music. So keep that in mind compared to the other speakers. But price and sound make it worth it if you have Apple Music.

One of the best speaker that i ever had. The sound is amzing. Great value for money. Easy to pir with your iphone.

This small HomePod gives great sound for its size, and the Apple integration is really good. My only gripe is that it seems to pick up some noises as "Hey Siri" and activates. But, it's a minor gripe. I did come from an Amazon Echo, and I do miss some of the capabilities from that. But from my research, Apple's privacy policy is definitely significantly stronger than Amazon or Google's, which makes this perfect for the privacy-centric person who wants a smart speaker.

Honestly sounds better than expected by a long shot. In smaller rooms it sounds amazing. In larger areas, it sounds good, it just doesn’t have the size to fill up a large space. I wasn’t wanting a smart speaker. I was more looking for a decent quality sound from a small speaker for a bedroom. But now having it I’ll be adding more of these to my house. The smart features actually work better and are more useful than I thought. Strong work on price and quality.

First thing -- Apple HomePod is meant for Apple Music subscribers and those who want to listen to music in their house in the background every day, while cooking, working, playing, relaxing and anything else you do at home where music can enhance an activity. (Dancing like no one is watching included.) Second, it is the most useful if you have Apple and/or HomeKit products. You will need an iPhone or iPad to even set it up. Siri may not be the brightest, but frankly I don't need to order an Uber, buy Amazon stuff sight unseen or have a pressing need to know a Ferret's average length. I love the HomePod so much I bought two! Yes, I am anxious for Apple to update the software for stereo and house connected music playing, but I am ok with waiting because I get so much benefit from it now. It is liberating to be able to play music - any kind I wish to hear at any volume I desire - by simply asking Siri. I love adding reminders, using the timer and alarms, and, yes, I have asked Siri to do a measurement calculation for me while I am cooking. I have Hue lights throughout the house and it is wonderful to just speak into the air and have the lights turn off or on. Does anyone really need the convenience ? Of course not. But once you get used to integrating "Hey Siri ...." into your daily life, it feels like it has always been that way. A small step towards the Jetson's way of life. Now if only I could purchase a flying car...

Apple did it again this little pod is amazing the sound quality and design is what sets Apple apart from the competition

Coming from a Google Home Mini, this is by far a better product. Notwithstanding the integration with our Apple products, the HomePod has a neutrally-tuned EQ that audiophiles wouldn’t fuss over, a great low-end bass response on all genres of music we used as test tracks, and is incredibly simple to use. At the time of release, Siri and Spotify aren’t linked up, but you can use AirPlay to stream Spotify to the HomePod Mini (there is a slight delay). Great product and worth the wait.

Dang! Asked Best Buy folks quite a few questions before buying this, and some of what I said should have made it kind of apparent that I probably didn’t have Wi-Fi out here in the boonies. So, bought it and tried setting up for quite a while before finding out the problem: Need actual Wi-Fi and “Personal Hotspot” won’t cut it! From what I can tell, based on sounds during attempted setup, the bass is rather impressive for such a small speaker. Think I would have loved it but, sadly, I ended up returning it. Didn’t give a really low score because it wasn’t the product’s fault. :-(

Easy setup and works very similar to the larger homepod. You love the sound quality from small to medium sized rooms.

This speaker is great! Reaches good volumes and bass levels.

Awesome little speaker with loud sound never experienced such quality from small device Apple keep up the good work.

I wanted to like this smart speaker. I'm totally invested in the Apple ecosystem, and thought this might be a nice addition. It was going to replace a Google Home Mini, which is clearly inferior in sound quality (not that I used it to play music anyway, but some do). First thing first: Siri is still eons inferior to Google's smart assistant, hampering this devices main function of being a smart device. Sound quality is just ok. Honestly, after having it for about a week, I came to the conclusion that it would only be worth considering had it been wireless. The fact that it needs to be plugged in makes it tough to choose as a small form-factor smart speaker. Siri is still way too limited to serve as your main smart assistant. I ended up returning it and replaced it with a Google Smart Display, which does much more for less money. Apple still gets lots of my money, but in this case, for $100 you can do much better.

Works pretty good sounds great and doesn’t take a lot of room. Might get another one for another room.
