Amazing sound quality no random ads like, she who shall not be named. However unlike other smart home assistants Apple doesn’t pair with random 3rd party light etc so unless you buy Apple compatible lights she isn’t going to be flipping on the lights for you like some other similarly shaped ad spewing spheres.

This is my second HomePod that I’m adding to my family! I use HomeKit and I’ve been adding extra devices for my smart home. But I definitely needed another HomePod for the main room. I just didn’t feel like spending another 300 dlls so this more affordable HomePod is getting the job done! Plus it sounds very very good for its size. This speaker will do what the big speaker would do at a fraction of the price and less loud.

Best item I’ve purchased and would definitely recommend to friends and famoly

I purchased the HomePod Mini to get automation in my home, and I'm pretty deep into the Apple ecosystem already. It's been extremely easy to set up. The only downside is that most third party apps are more integrated with Alexa and Google so sometime you're limited to accessories and services that work with HomeKit, which will lead you deeper into the Apple ecosystem. Also you MUST use Apple Music for a lot of features to work.

I hate to say it but it’s kinda confusing, you would think that it’s a Bluetooth you connect and away you go, sorta? I guess, it connects to WiFi and playlists play weird, you can tell Siri to play stuff but it gets confusing on where it pulls it from. I know I know, I’m sure people will say it’s fine but it’s not as simple as I would expect from Apple. It sounds great and looks cool only reason for 4 stars is the learning curve when you can get a Bluetooth speaker that just plays what you want. This is more for the Apple fan not your grandma;)

Great sound, and features for such a small speaker. Works great with Appletv.

Great sound quality, and pretty loud to when considering how small. I use two instead a sound bar.

Very nice sound and really small!I use these more than the standard HomePod because of their size.

Great sound! Works really well with my iPhone! Small speaker that’s better than my old google home!

I bought the HomePod based upon two criteria: audio fidelity and integration into the Apple ecosystem. The HomePod performs flawlessly in both categories. First, the HomePod integrates easily into the Apple ecosystem. It “plays nice” with two iPhones, an iPad, two Apple TV units, and Apple Music. Setup was a breeze; it was mostly “automatic” in that regard. I had read where others had some difficulty and the setup felt “cumbersome.” I did not share that experience. The HomePod works really well with Apple Music by itself, and with Apple Play on the iPhone, it will play other streaming services and will also play what’s in your music library. Note that this isn’t through Bluetooth, but through WiFi. I use both Siri and Alexa smart services (I also have an Amazon Echo). I find that both services work equally well for me. Admittedly, I don’t have a “smart home,” and my experience with such services is limited. But Siri gives the weather, sets alarms, plays the news, answers questions, etc. as well as Alexa, in my experience. Second, the sound from this little pod is freakin’ AWESOME! I’m a professional, classically-trained musician and audiophile. While not stereo, the sound stage seems deep and spacious. The bass response is fantastic without being muddy or overpowering. The kids are clear and concise. The highs are crisp without being crackly. Overall, a very well-balanced sound. I can only imagine setting two of these up as a stereo pair. My ‘Pod sits in my office, which is about 12’ x 14’ and it fills the room quite easily with music that is linear, smooth, warm and extremely clean — even at high volume. Since the HomePod “hears” the room and its onboard computer automatically adjusts the sound output accordingly for optimal blend and balance, The music is always well-placed and appropriate for the listening space. My musical tastes are quite eclectic, and the HomePod handles most styles with alacrity and capability. The orchestra sounds like you’re in the concert hall. Choirs are transparent and clear. Jazz is smooth and clear, but warm. Ambient and spa music that includes lots of nature sounds are faithfully reproduced. It will even handle the thump and drive of dance and chill tracks. The ‘Pod is surprisingly objective in its color; it doesn’t “favor” one style over another. That said, every speaker system has its inherent “sweet spot.” This one seems to favor ambient/jazz/fusion. The response seems fairly flat to my ear, without a particular EQ tweak in any direction. Since the iPhone has selectable EQ patterns, the ‘Pod will reflect those choices faithfully. The quality of build seems typical of Apple products: robust, refined, sleek, unobtrusive. Fit and finish are flawless. The controls are touchpad type, and they work well. However, the ‘Pod shines when it comes to voice recognition and vocal commands. It has, I believe, 7 microphones, and those ‘phones will hear you — even over loud music — and you don’t have to yell! I got the Space Grey. I can’t imagine the white staying clean. The power cord is fabric-wrapped and of an appropriate length to reach to an outlet without stretching and without coiling up on itself. My ‘Pod is situated about 3 feet from an outlet, on a small table, and the power cord drapes very naturally. Overall, the HomePod is sleek, unobtrusive, and sonically refined. A very capable piece of sound equipment that not only does not disappoint, but will delight the listener. I’m thoroughly impressed with the HomePod.

Great buy I love it. Sounds great, easy to use, love traveling with it.

Size is perfect and the sound coming from the unit is amazing. Clear and a great depth of the beat.

The sound qality and Siri assistance is without comparison.

Love the sound quality of the HomePod didn’t think I would like it at first but this is now become one of my favorite mini speakers. The only thing I don’t like is the cord is built into the speaker so this becomes a challenge. I really wish it had a built-in mounting Port, so that would be easier to put on a wall.

Big sound for a little ball. Now I can hear the same song throughout the house without having to start and stop different players. The only thing I didn’t like was it came with old software and it took quite a bit of research to diagnose the problem and figure out how to update it.

This mini speaker has great sound coming from it. Also, it is very stylish and well built.

Love the bass and sound on this! Especially cool when you can tap your iPhone to play music.

Awesome!The sound is unique!The design is amazing!Gonna buy more items from Best Buy!

Just bought this for my wife who now works from home daily. We have a stereo pair of the full sized Homepods and really enjoy them. The mini does not come close to the depth of sound as the full sized model, but does retain a very nice sound when compared to other small speakers on the market. Similar to Sonos, you can control individual homepods or the entire group with Airplay. The mini is a great speaker for the price!

Great sound! Siri can hear you! In any part of you room! Its worth every dollar you expend on it!
