Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have enjoyed this product. The volume is perfect for the size of my room. The only thing that I am still learning is to have it automatically play from my phone instead of whatever it is programmed to. But that will be easy to figure out once I sit down and take the time to look at my seetings.

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.

Realistically I would give this like a 4.5 star review. Its not perfect, "Alexa" and "hey google" are probably better androids and the price for the home pod mini is higher than the similar sized product from amazon and google. But in the end, this is a beautiful, clean, reliable and secure device that sounds SIGNIFICANTLY better than the Google home mini and echo dot, like its not even close. I plan to get a couple more and would like to hear how much better stereo pairing the music would be. It doesn't bother me that Siri isn't as smart as the others, but it for sure is the safest and most secure at protecting your privacy. my only dock on this would be the price vs its direct competitors, but to me, the quality and sound more than make up for it. Especially as your turn up the volume, it still sounds great and doesn't dilute like the competitors. I'm also impressed at how lightly I can say "Hey Siri" when the music is loud and she will still hear me. I'm impressed.

Great sound-super easy to hook up. I have 3 now! Even one in the bathroom to listen to audiobooks with! Can also text and make calls which is convenient. The family intercom freaks out my mom but is useful too. The handoff to and from iPhone works like a charm. I’ll be getting ready for work listening to a podcast and switch to my phone. Plug it right in to CarPlay and I’m back in business! Great product!

This is the second HomePod mini that I’ve purchased and I can’t recommend them enough. They’re easy to set up and sound great. The space they take up is minimal and so it’s easy to place them anywhere.

I’ve been using Apple products for a good portion of my life. My first college computer was an iMac. About a year ago, I finally made the transition from Android to iOS. From there, I’ve slowly integrated myself into the Apple ecosystem. As an I.T. Technician, I personally enjoy utilizing home automation. However, the cheaper cost of the Google devices lead me to build around them. With increasing security concerns with the likes of Google and Amazon, this HomePod Mini couldn’t have come at a better time. Not only does it sound amazing for its size, it is the perfect product to begin the transition to Apple’s HomeKit. If you are someone dedicated to using Apple devices and are on a budget, like myself. I can’t recommend the Apple HomePod Mini enough.

It sounds really good especially for its sizs. The bass sounds really good and is really easy to set up.

I had my smart home running with Google assistant before. I switch to Home pod mini looking for the security features that comes with Apple OS and the integration with my others apple devices. I have to say that in that purpose works very well. I really enjoy how you can extend you iPhone messages, calls, etc to the home minis. I like how the music sounds on it, but, I miss some features that I had when I used Google assistant such as: Siri stop to hearing you after your request, then you have to repeat Hey Siri many times. When you have your hands busy and ask Siri something, the answers are sent to your iPhone, instead to be told to you as you was expecting. You can only use Apple Music with them, no Spotify or Youtube, or other app. I really hope Apple continues improving the software and add this capabilities.

I love the New HomePod mini. It’s just like the main HomePod but just smaller. The sound quality is amazing for the size. Just as loud as the big one. I can’t tell the difference. The quality is just what you expect with Apple. If you don’t want to spend the money for the big HomePod. Then you sure won’t regret getting this small one.

Very user friendly and easy to use with my Apple TV and iPhone! So much better sounding than my TV speakers, should have got this sooner!

Wowed by this little speaker. Best sound from anything this small I’ve ever listened too. I’ve got it tucked away on a dresser in our bedroom and it fills the room with music. Siri seems better than I remember as I haven’t used it much on my phone. The hand off feature is convenient and easy to use.

Sound quality is really good (although it only gets so loud) and you even get some interesting special/3D effects from it. Cut from the same cloth as the larger HomePod. Siri has gotten better and the Home app works fine with all my smart home stuff and the HomePod minis control everything fine despite a little lag from the time you ask Siri to do something until it gets done. I’d rather have 3 of these than 1 of the bigger one for the same cost. I can have these play music at the same time and it really fills the house. And if I ask Siri something, the nearest one will respond (like to set a timer or something). Overall a great product if you’re fully bought into the Apple walled garden. Google and Alexa might be a little more robust, but I don’t want them snooping on me and selling me stuff. HomePod does what I want quite well, plays nice with other gadgets and smart home stuff, and nothing more. And that exactly what I want out of a product like this.

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.

A great smart speaker for iPhone users. I love this device because it can distinguish different people's voices. Good sound quality for its size Intercom feature Can AirPlay from any Apple device Microphone reliably hears wake phrase Seamless setup I bought more than one of this , so happy to have this compare to other brand

This is a great hub for the apple ecosystem. It is surprisingly full sounding, clear, and loud. Impressive for its diminutive size. Paired with smart plugs I was able to automate my Christmas lights this year on a timer or via voice command.

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.

Amazing sound quality. When you use as a stereo pair with Apple TV it changes the experience of watching tv and takes you to a whole new level. Highly recommend this product. You can also simply tap your phone to it and the music you were listening to on your phone just hops over to the speaker

I bought two of these, the second because I was so satisfied with the first. I’m deep in the Apple ecosystem and wanted to start automating my house. The HomePod Mini is the cheapest way to start and you also get a great sounding speaker to boot. The quality and feel is at the usual high Apple standards and set up with HomeKit was very easy. The listening range is good enough that if I yell loud enough it was able to hear my voice on the first level but it was better to just buy another for my bedroom, especially at $100. My only wish is that it could possibly connect easily to my TVs. One other thing I liked is the security and privacy that Apple focuses on in comparison to the competitors. Definitely a great option for Apple lovers.

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.

I recently purchased 2 minis to add to my HomePod. I was excited by the idea of streaming media through multiple rooms simultaneously. The minis sound quality is excellent! The minis are not as loud as my HomePod, but they are loud enough, and they produce a nice clear sound. And, the bass is very satisfactory for such a small speaker. My only complaint about the minis and the original HomePod, in general, is they disconnect from my wifi on a fairly regular basis and need to be reset a few times a week. At first, I wondered if my wifi was the culprit, but I doubt that is the problem. This problem persists on my HomePod and one of my minis. The other mini works perfectly without any problems. Overall, the minis offer a reasonably priced and easy way to add streaming music to your home. Hopefully, the disconnect issue can be corrected through software updates over time.
