Customer Ratings & Reviews

While I am not the one who uses it (as it was a gift for my sister), what i do know from what she tells me is that it was a great purchase, as the ease of listening is great between her apple devices. the only downside is that it does need the wire to work, pardon my ignorance but before purchasing the homepod, there wasn’t much research done on our part regarding the use of the device, as well as needing internet connection to work well, we thought it was just an easy to use bluetooth device. all in all, it is a good device yes, but one that is stuck within the apple ecosystem once more.

I am using two of these in a stereo pair for my apple tv 4k (1st generation) speakers. They are substantially better than probably all TV speakers in this configuration. I have never heard any dropouts or connection issues, and there is no lag. The midrange and treble is excellent and the soundstage is wide with the stereo configuration. There is some bass tones but not deep, low bass. Overall, very impressive for the small size. It is very nice to be able to change the TV volume directly on the units.

The HomePod delivers an equisite sound. BestBuy had it at a reasonable price. I love the way it sounds. I am so happy with my purchase.

Great sound in such a small speaker and reasonable price! The size is super convenient as I can take it with me when I travel. I like it so much, I plan to buy more for around my home.

Never expected sound this good from something this small. I already have the full sized HomePod which to me has been great. The main pain points for any HomePod are if you're not really vested in the Apple ecosystem. If you are, like I am, then these are fantastic add-on products to build out enhanced sound and HomeKit devices. The sound from the mini is truly impressive for it's size. I know there are arguments regarding sounds and quality and value all day everywhere. Sound quality is subjective to the user. It's just the way it is. For me, this little guy fills out a corner or a desk with lows, mids, and highs. Very much worth the cost here.

Perfect mini speaker! Definitely worth the price! Honestly cheap for an Apple product. Can connect to tv and speaker simultaneously, has amazing sound, bass and very loud!

As with most Apple products quality and ease of use is great. I find this smart speaker fits right into the Apple eco system. It has a good sound when playing music and Siri to automate functions around the house using the Apple Home app. Unlike it's larger version it comes in a verity of colors to match your homes decor.

I bought one of these to listen to music and use with my apple tv. It sounded great, nice bass and sounds better than my wireless bose. I just bought a second one and use them as a stereo pair and WOW they sound even better. Siri seems to be able to understand all my commands, even quiet commands from across the room. They are plenty loud enough for me and better yet with no distortion.

My family loves these. We also have HomePods in our basement. These minis were quick and easy to setup to a mesh system and paired them together, each on a different side of our living room. Absolutely no issues. Definitely sounds better with stereo pair than without. We can also have all HomePods and both mini play at the same time in different floors and rooms just by asking. Sounds far better than the echoes or shows we have from Amazon, even newer ones. We also use the automation so when we get home or unlock our door, music plays and lights come on. All easy to setup. Definitely glad we got them and plan on getting more.

A tiny speaker with intelligent assistant and packs a mighty punch for its size. Competitors’ smart speakers such as Google and Alexa are good and equally capable but, to me, do not have nearly a refined crystal clear audio. Siri can be, as every smart assistant, a bit fickle with certain commands at time. Yet I find that this for now is a common feature of all intelligent speakers. I’m partial to the HomePod and its mini sibling because of my familiarity with each. I wouldn’t trade Apple devices for [fill in your favorite smart home companion’s brand] because it’s been overall a great device to use. 5 stars and 5 thumbs up!

Sooo glad I bought one for both my kids. Now I want one! Great sound from such a small device. The intercom is also a cool feature. Better than Alexa.

When the HomePod came out I was a bit skeptical, especially at it's normal price point. But this is now my third that I have purchased. I bought this one for use in my guest bedroom. The other two are in the Master Bedroom and my office at work. Hands down, the sound quality cannot be beat by anything else in this size package. I was blown away by the quality. It's got enough volume for listening to music in almost any situation. It's perfect for a bedroom or office. For outdoor use or larger party environments there are some larger speakers from Sony I'd recommend... but for just wanting some great sounding music and the ease of saying "Hey Siri, play me some..." it can't be beat. Setup is the easiest of ANY smart speaker I've used IF you're in the Apple ecosystem. I have Google smart speakers and/or displays in every room room of my house and all my lighting is Philips Hue. The HomePod was by far the easiest to setup. And although Siri is not as "smart" as Google Assistant, the microphone quality on the HomePod is far better at catching commands from a distance, and I get far fewer errors with the HomePod. Often times my other smart speakers don't hear me without shouting, or they hear something different than what I said. The HomePod hears me every time and more accurately, even with music at a fairly loud volume, than any other smart speaker I've used. So although Siri can't do as much as Google Assistant, when I interact with my smart speakers in my home, I much prefer interacting with the HomePod. And setup was so much easier (if you're already an Apple user). I do plan on replacing all my other smart speakers in every room with HomePods when my budget permits me to do so.

Cannot believe the sound coming out of this thing. It is so small but the bigness of the sound is AMAZING! Wish Apple would make something like Google Nest devices that have a screen so you could manage your Apple Home automations. We can dream, can't we?

This smaller HomePod puts out excellent sound. I have not tried pairing two of them to enable the stereo sound. However one by itself in a room sounds amazing. With that being said it’s sound is not on the same level as the larger HomePod. If you want something you can crank up and have bass come from, then you’ll want the regular HomePod. I have two regular ones so I decided to get these in order to add to my Apple ecosystem and have more speakers throughout the house to play music from as I move about. Or have a way to control Apple enabled devices throughout my home, if my phone wasn’t nearby. Overall I would recommend this speaker.

Best virtual assistant if you’re an apple fan! I’ve had and tried amazons Alexa and googles Home and when I say that both of those were the worst that I’ve ever used I mean it! Both of them have a deaf fit where you can scream at the top of your lungs for them and they will never turn on but the video ur watching is at 2 volume and it says hey David and it goes off. The only good thing about both of those were the apps the user interface was nice and the customizability was really nice. But what good are those if the thing can’t hear you half the time. This HomePod not only is it loud the sound quality is beautiful but it can hear you ALWAYS you can whisper you can yell you can even be downstairs and it upstairs and it will HEAR YOU. It is extremely responsive to your questions to your demands to turning on and off smart devices. It is and should be the center of your home the base station because it works so well! And not only that but it is also very aesthetically pleasing it’s not terrible to look at whatsoever. It has nice features like if you have audio on your phone playing u can either just go to ur control center and put it on it, or my favorite way just walk up to it and hold ur phone above it and it connects instantly to your audio. I also really love how when you are playing audio on it and you get it’s attention it just lowers the audio while still playing it, it’s just a nice touch and seems seamless. It’s definitely the best virtual assistant around and should be your number one pick.

Sound quality is good, but the volume level could be higher for open or large rooms. I was under the impression that you could stream the same music across multiple apple devices, such as listen to apple music on the HomePod and Apple TV at the same time, you can not. You can only listen on multiple HomePods. Love the feature of being able to intercom in the house and from outside the house. The ability use the same features as your phone without your phone in the room is extremely handy. My only real two complaint is that the cord is permanently attached, it would be nice to have the ability to lengthen the cord for optimum placement in the room and the ability to add an auxiliary cord so you could add it to a home theater amp.

Great Sound, nice design, easy to used and nice color.

Pretty awesome! I got two of them because I realized I was wasting money and just being frustrated trying to find two speakers that would connect seamlessly and consistently. These fit the bill, for me. Sound great, easy to set up, I now use Hey Siri way more often, and love how easy it is to stuff to my lists, and also get the answer to whatever random question I have at the moment. Initially there were some intra Apple equipment quarrels about which device would answer, but it’s gotten better. Wish they could work with the Apple HomePod the same way as the do with each other but understand the limitations.

The sound quality is great and and super easy to use and very convenient it you play music through speakers since it transitions over smoothly

Very easy to setup. Excellent sound quality for a device this size. Cannot use Spotify with your voice commands. But will play if you start it from your phone first. Hoping Apple and Spotify will get this issue resolved in a future update.
