Customer Ratings & Reviews

The mini home pod is very easy to set up, and there is the ability to pair multiples for stereo effect. I love itresponds easily to the Siri command.

I purchased this because I have Apple Music, it was on sale, and I just wanted new toys. I picked up two and they sound phenomenal in a studio pair. I use it basically for setting alarms or reminders, and of course playing music. The HomePod has very rich bass and sounds great, but I wish it had an EQ mode. The sound fills the room on very low volume and I haven't really tested it at its peak volume. You can also speak in a normal voice across the room and Siri will pick up your command effortlessly. I wish this could be paired via bluetooth with other devices, but for what I got this thing for it works as advertised. I still don't think it is even worth the sale price, but that has nothing really to do with the product itself. It should be maybe $50 cheaper than what is is on sale. It is just very limited right now, but hopefully Apple releases future software updates to take advantage of such great hardware.

Bought when on sale for $199. When it first came out on the market, I Always thought HomePod was over priced for its functionality, but well worth it at this sell price. I’m a total Apple product fan. Fits nicely with my Apple ecosystem. Love the control it provides for my smart home features. Since my wife is intimidated using my stereo system, she likes the convenience of the HomePod to listen to music while doing projects around the house. Sounds really good for a compact sized speaker. Looks good with my family room furniture decor too! Pretty cool feature is the fact that my other Apple products, like our phones and watchs, knows not to interfere with the homepod’s Hey Siri feature when I call out to it. Nice!

Easy setup, good sound. Siri can hear you from pretty far away, and it’s nice to be able to play the same music all through the house when you have more than one.

Siri was always very helpful, from shortcuts to just telling me the weather in the morning I always found Siri helpful. Siri just got an upgrade. My new HomePod mini (in white) looks nicer and doesn’t stand out as much as my old black Amazon Alexa. I mostly use my HomePod to control lights, play music, and sleep sounds at night. Siri does all this very well. In terms of other capabilities, Siri can’t play games unless you program a shortcut (which takes a long time) but seeing as I didn’t use that feature much, I’m not upset. The sound that comes out of this little speaker is amazing. I can turn it all the way up in my bedroom and still hear it cooking in the kitchen. It is my only HomePod, so I don’t use the intercom feature and can’t comment on that. The compatibility with non-apple apps is alright. You can’t set Spotify as your default app but you can hold your phone close to the HomePod while playing music on Spotify and have the sound switch over, and you can play by using share play on your phone. None of it takes too much effort and it’s cheaper than paying for Apple Music every month. Overall, I’m more than satisfied with this purchase. It’s a quality speaker at a decent price (for apple at least) and it comes through.

I have three HomePod minis in my house and love them. I wish I had more. Great sound for a little speaker but even better is the features that come with it. I love how well it integrates into the Apple ecosystem.

If you were looking for deep, rich bass and booming sound, that will fill a room, don’t go with us and spend the extra money for the big HomePod second generation. I got one of these as a gift a couple of Christmases ago and wanted to get another one to put on my wife’s nightstand. After getting them paired up, I will say that the stereo pair matching makes for a better movie watching experience, then just listening out of one HomePod mini. Of course, they will only work with Apple TV 4K‘s and above and don’t expect much out of the Siri assistant. Siri sucks! These things are constantly losing connection to the net work , and if you try to make Siri request, you’re more apt to yank the thing off your dresser or table and just check it across the wall. If you want to play your Apple Music go right ahead stream YouTube or Netflix go right ahead because that is what it is mainly going to be good for listening to music and not much else. They are very small , don’t take up too much room and are a good choice. If you want to get some quality sound on the cheap..

It is easy to set-up. It is amazingly small for it’s sound out put and sound quality. I have found the HomePod mini to be very useful. I especially when I use it with one of the home hub electrical plugs. I have found The look of the home pod mini to be pleasing yet unobtrusive. Thinking about giving a home pod mini as a gift for an upcoming birthday day present.

These are great to place in rooms for surprisinglly good sound. Economical enough to use on mutiple roooms. Siri enables voice control of lights, etc. A nice feature for larger homes, is the intercom feature, cor instance you can talk to kids in the bonus room, I prefer apple because they proyect your data and privacy. This is a big deal, because data brokers will pay high dollar for personal information. With Apple, your data is encryted end to end, and kept local. Apple does not share your data without your permission. I have home kit setup with nanoleafe ligjts. Anyone can enter a room and turn the lights on with voice commands. This is available from other vendors, such as google snd Amazon, however your data is their produd to use and share. With this speaker, you dont need to sacrifice your privacy for features.

Apple homepods mini delivers good sound and quality is there. Great for users with Apple devices in home already. It doesn’t compare to the original homepods which can find on sale for $200. As for the $100 price on the mini I think is alittle much because there are so many other smart speakers about the same size that are cheaper. Apple needs to step their game up and have more smart devices that are HomeKit compatible. Idk if it’s a quality control thing or not but I am an Apple user for the most part but a lot of my devices like light bulbs and security cameras aren’t HomeKit compatible so I can’t use that app to consolidate all my devices to one app. So end up having google for thermastat and internet, Alexa echo 5 and old dot which use for ring doorbell and blink camera. So to be honest unless u don’t like the size of original homepod and u are an Apple house then maybe consider this. Sound quality is pretty descent. It doesn’t get too loud or have deep bass like the big homepods. Hey Siri seems to pick up my voice within the room but original homepod definitely did a way better job with that and everything else. I do have to say I love sound quality of the apple homepods they are very clear and hear nice crisp sounds that normal are drowned out or unnoticeable. I have in the bedroom 2 original homepods grouped together for stereo sound on ether side of beds nightstand and have mini homepod on opposite side of room by wall in center of room and I play music on all three at same time. I like that I’m able to adjust the sound level individually between them while all are playing the same source. With homepods grouped u can only control volume as if they were one. If unpair them from each other then u can set their volume separately which is nice because I can tune the volume of all 3 to make it feel like I’m in the center between them when I’m really laying on bed close to 1 of big homepods.

My 4 year old Bluetooth speaker finally died and needed a replacement. Since I'm already in the Apple ecosystem, decided I might as well buy an apple product so I can take speakerphone calls, podcasts, and music while sleeping. One of my issues (which is most likely exclusive to me) is you have to plug it in (which is good and bad, since no battery to die like my previous), but this also means I cannot take this to my restroom/shower, because I do not have any power outlets there, they are right outside. So I can't use this there, fine. My other issue which really bothers me - is it's not compatible with Youtube! Youtube will not stream to this, which means I cannot listen to music there. That's *very* annoying. Also not compatible - business VoIP apps, so I cannot take speaker phone calls on my business line, can only take calls on my personal cell. Now the good: Sounds great! Calls/music/podcast using the Apple versions all work pretty well and I don't have to worry about charging it or batteries running out in the middle of the night. Small annoyances: moving it around (especially if you wind up lifting it from the top) - turns on music that isn't playing on your phone, but the device itself. Sometimes my AppleTV will try to play to it instead of my airpods, which *can* be useful if done on purpose. These are minor glitches that are partially user error and partially design error. It appears I'll need a couple so I can use it the way I used to use my previous BT speaker, which I may buy the next version when it comes out.

I purchased the HomePod mini to pair with my iPod and Mac mini to have wireless sound for both devices in my office. The HomePod mini is impressive with the ease of connecting any Apple device. Overall, the sound quality is exceptional, particularly bass response, from such a small sound device. I plan to purchase a second one and create a stereo pair.

I absolutely love this smart speaker. it inergrates seamlessly with my iphone and sounds absolutely amazing. Again the Apple magic is apparent its just so intuitive. Personally I enjoy them so much I purchased 4 of them and converted my home completely away from amazon echo.

Great speaker for the price and size.I was skeptical about a speaker this small sounding good and being able to fill a room with sound. We have an open concept home (living room, dining room and kitchen all one big space) and this speaker easily fills this space. Easy connectivity and easy to interface with. Would definitely recommend!

I love the Apple home pod. Design is very aesthetic. Very easy to setup and use when you have an apple device. Sound is awesome. I have 6 throughout the house and music plays Simultaneously with no delay. Best Investment ever. I use them to control lights, provide whole house sound system and intercom system.

We love our HomePod Minis. We have two old large HomePods, but they don’t work with a lot our smart devices. I originally bought one to sync with our smart doorlock and thermostat in our office because they were so far away from our Apple TV. We would loose the signal to our devices. But both the wife and i loved the sound so much, we decided to buy another to replace our Sonos 1’s in the office. The next two are now in our garage and once again replacing the Sonos 1’s because of their size and because they help sync our smart garage door and smart deadbolt with our HomeKit system. Now are they truly better than our old Sonos 1’s, not in sound quality. But HomePod Minis are very close, yet it is their size, smarts and connectivity is the big reason we replaced our Sonos 1’s.

I bought 2. They sound great as a stereo pair for my TV. I wish I could use them as a regular Bluetooth speaker. That’s one thing the Beats Pill has over the HomePod family. Either way, a great product — just don’t expect it to be as smart as the other smart speakers out there. These are purely intended for people who want something that sounds good and integrates well with their ecosystem. Intercom feature is nice. Siri needs to get smarter.

Awesome speaker and love the sound. Only thing is the speaker is not wireless has to be connected to power supply. Overall will be purchasing the HomePod and mini in near future

Hey. Hey... Surprisingly good sound for what it is…particularly good for room to room intercom…very nice with a little bit of a learning curve for home use features. But as an audio music source pretty great

sound good easy to use small and good speakers for this price
