Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you are in to the Apple system, the mini is perfect for small rooms with plenty of available volume. While it cannot reproduce deep base, unlike it’s bigger brother it does not try to produce bass sounds that are out of it’s normal range, which is a plus. As long as you don’t crank it all the way up, the sound is very good given its price point. If you use IOT devices using Apple’s HomeKit, it can be your required hub and enable vast improvement in Bluetooth connected devices that use Thread.

Looks great, easy to set up and use, and sounds great! Amazing to use for surround sound with AppleTV!

Amazing sound quality easy to use easy to set up!!

I like my Mr. Siri a lot. The sound quality is good for its size, and it has a fast response!

Sounds great for the size and price. Works seamlessly with the apple ecosystem. I use them to listen to music and for tv speakers. If you’re a fan of apple products and want a smart speaker then why haven’t you bought this product?

Let's start with the good! They sound really great for the size. I've got two and I love listening to the same thing upstairs AND downstairs at the same time. Pretty cool! They're easy to connect and when they work well they work great. The downsides... They rely on a wifi connection. Our wifi cuts out when we're hosting multiple people at our house and that is EXACTLY when we WANT TO USE THEM. So they cut out constantly because they rely on wifi instead of just Bluetooth connectivity. The biggest con, is that they don't work with Spotify, which is where all of my girlfriends playlists are (I bought them for HER for Christmas). So when you want to control it using "Hey Siri" it starts playing apple music and the playlists are straight trash unless you go through and remake all of your playlists. So I created a playlist for them to play so I could set and forget for an afternoon. Except it kept playing from the album the songs were from instead of the order of the playlist. Apple Music is doing great things with Lossless audio but the playlists and radios are a DEAL BREAKER. They work great for having a timer that you can set and listen to from anywhere in the house. But honestly... We're probably going to return them. The smart home technology is just not there yet and having a reliable Bluetooth speaker that you can just bring around with you instead of having it plugged in all the time and needing wifi outweighs any of the smart tech advantages. They WOULD be so cool. If they worked how they were supposed to and worked with Spotify. I have everything Apple. iPad Pro 12.9 2020 with Magic Keyboard and Pencil (so does my gf.) Our business runs from the MacBook Pro M1 Max and M1 13''. Amazing technologies. I even have the AirPods Max, I'm a bonafide Apple sheep.... but these things suck.

Very simple to setup - walks you through it and only a few steps. All very well designed to pair with the app. Have connected multiple accessories to it, used Siri and had it play music - so far, no issues or concerns whatsoever. Being able to remotely access the temperature and humidity is also a plus

The Apple HomePod delivers impressive sound quality in a sleek, modern design. Despite its compact size, it produces rich bass, clear vocals, and well-balanced audio that easily fills a room. Whether you’re listening to music, podcasts, or watching TV, the sound feels immersive and high-end.

Small but mighty. We paried two minis for the bedroom Apple TV and they’ve been great. Great sound for how small they are. They do not support Dolb Atmos though as a stereo pair but that’s okay they still do a really good job. Not at deep of bass as the regular HomePods but they get the job done. Also both bedroom minis were the out of the box for a 20 dollar discount and still worth it.

I recently purchased the Apple HomePod mini in blue but ended up returning it. On the positive side, the HomePod mini offers excellent sound performance. The audio quality is impressive for its size, and the device responds swiftly to commands, which I appreciated. However, the primary issue I encountered was with Apple's HomeKit ecosystem. Despite the HomePod mini's capabilities, I found that HomeKit compatibility is quite limited when it comes to integrating with a variety of wireless devices that I already own. This limitation significantly affected my experience, as I couldn't connect the HomePod mini to several of my smart home devices. For those deeply invested in Apple's ecosystem and looking for a speaker that integrates seamlessly with other Apple devices, the HomePod mini is a great choice. The sound quality and responsiveness alone make it a worthy consideration. Yet, it's important to be aware of the limitations regarding smart home integration. Apple has room for improvement in expanding the compatibility and functionality of their HomeKit ecosystem. Until then, the HomePod mini's utility as a smart home device might be limited for users with diverse smart home products.

I’ve had a google assistant speaker, an Alexa and by far this one is the best, the sound quality and the way the product was manufactured to get that nice bass punch makes it feel so immersive. The highs and mids aren’t too overpowered or overpowered. And when you are playing music from your phone you can either AirPlay it like any Bluetooth speaker or bring it close to the pod and it starts playing there. I use it everyday!

The Apple HomePod mini is a great choice for Apple users looking for a compact and high-quality smart speaker. While it doesn't directly support Youtube Music, it integrates seamlessly with Apple's ecosystem, including youtube Music.

The homepod mini is fantastic if you're using apple's homekit as a home automation system. The sound is better than competitors in my opinion and has temperature and humidity sensors built in. The sound is clear and crisp when playing music and siri has improved a lot.

I bought a pair of HomePods from Best Buy right before Christmas when they were on sale for $199 apiece. At that price, the ability to play music (directly from Apple Music or via AirPlay from an iPhone or iPod) or sound from an Apple TV more than justified the price for the pair. (I have them set up to play as a stereo pair.) A good stereo would cost as much and saddle me with unsightly speaker wires. And the bass on these is just awesome, particularly when you figure the relatively small size. I liked them enough that a few days after Christmas, I decided to pick up a second pair to use in another room. However, at that point the price had gone up to $300. They are nice speakers but at $200 apiece they are pricey; at $300 apiece they are way overpriced. My advice. Wait until they go on sale for $199 either at Best Buy or at another retailer that Best Buy will price match. As for Siri functionality, I was pleasantly surprised. She can hear me even when the HomePods are playing music pretty loudly. And most of the basic commands I’ve tried work well. Voice control of HomeKit accessories seems brisker than the same command given to Alexa. However, when I ask Siri to turn on a group of lights she does fine but when I ask her to turn off the same group, she replies, “I can’t turn off a scene.” Odd. Where Siri still falls down is on knowledge-based requests. She still tends to want to send you the information as a link to a website you can view on your iPhone or other screen. Since HomePod has no screen, these requests cannot be fulfilled. The basic bottom line is these are great speakers when on sale but overpriced at full price. Smart speaker functionality is getting better all the time but still needs some work. Oh, and you still need an iOS device to set the HomePod up, so if the HomePod is your only Apple device, you’re out of luck,

So far it's been great. I had Google home Mini's (Free or very cheap price paid) and these sound better and are more useful because I have apple devices. Yes, you can't mount them to a wall, but I can live with that inconvenience. They are a great size. I will definitely be getting another one. So my whole house is covered. The full size is still a better option I think for bigger rooms. I use mine in the kitchen, bathroom, office. Full size in the bedroom and AppleTV/Soundbar for the living room.

Fantastic sound in a cute package! The sound from this speaker, which is about the size of a coffee mug, is totally unbelievable! I have mine near a wall, and there isn’t that “in your face” sound from bouncing off the wall and it sounds rich and not tinny It took me about 2 minutes to get it set up, synched and that was it! I have another system that took me DAYS to get figured out, numerous calls to tech support, but not with this speaker. I haven’t had any need to set up a second one—yet

Purchased 3 of these and have them in various rooms of my house. Really good sound & love how I like how I can play over all or select what speaker/room to play. Works better with HomeKit than using my phone/iPad when using “Hey Siri”. Intercom feature is also neat but not something I use regularly. Looks great, sounds good & offers enhanced functionality. Highly recommend for the price point & get more than one if possible for better experience. Setup was seamless & quick.

We decided to go with Apple’s HomePod minis as a bargain way to begin smart home accessories using Apple’s HomeKit. We aren’t ready to invest in the full setup yet, but love the versatility of the HomePod mini. From intercom ability throughout our home to controlling and playing music and audio, it is a delightful experience. You find yourself using it more than expected thanks to the Siri functions and it is fun exploring the other abilities of the HomePod mini. A great listening experience!
