Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my first HomePod purchase, the Mini, and it does not disappoint. Easy to set up with instant connection to all my devices. It takes up the tiniest bit of real estate on my desk, looks great and not conspicuous at all. The sound and ease of use are the best features, as the sound is top notch for a speaker this size. It has a great price point which allows for adding more around the house, all controlled by the Home app.

For the size of the Homepod Mini, it has no business generating this kind of sound. Its slso impressive how well Siri can hear and respond to commands and queries, even when its playing loud music. Siri is still quirky, though, and it sometimes fumbles the ball hy misunderstanding or by simply failing to respond.

Beautiful design, good sound quality and bass. Compact n easy to pack.

We have a full size HomePod, so we got two minis to compliment the music playing quality of the big one. This allows us to use the music through out the house, as well as Sir, and it even has an intercom feature for calling the kids. You can text them with your voice from these, as well, and Siri will tell you jokes, make notes for you, all the good stuff.

The sound is good and being able to connect 2+ Home pod mini’s around the house makes it even better. The intercom feature is a nice feature as well. What I really like is, being able to play your music or podcasts from you phone and still be able to use it to make/receive phone calls or watch videos, without turning the music off that’s playing from your phone, through the home pod speakers.

I love how small and compact this is. Siri is going got get a huge update when IOS 18 releases sometime this year. This device is easy to use and set up as well. I can’t wait to see what more this can do

I brought this for my dad. Who is currently battling dementia. When he is having a tough day it calms him down. He pats his feet, and often times sings along. All mom has to do is touch it and he is good to go. He is 94 and dad is 95. They have been married for 72 years

This speaker has amazing bass, and I use this everyday. The only thing that needs improvement is the connectivity. It will sometimes randomly disconnect from my iPad or iPhone, and it just annoys me when you are in the middle of enjoying music.

I purchased the Home Pod mini to use my Mac Mini computer speaker in my small (12x12) office so I don’t have to turn up the stereo (in another room) so I can hear it in my office. Pros: The mini provides much better sound than the Mac Mini speakers and works great for my purposes. It sounds great for its size (and price if on sale). I even think it would beat out some more expensive speakers in this and other categories. It would even work great as a TV speaker (depending on size of room). The larger HPod would be good for this purpose too. It’s great for background music/talk and even to turn it up to jam out to a favorite song in the office, but not likely for parties— it would get drowned out (again, depending on the size of room, purpose and number of people talking). Those considerations are important to me. It also makes for a great speaker phone if routed through continuity. Cons: I don’t like how I can not use it as a microphone to the Mac Mini for recording. This also causes issues for applications like Zoom, Skype, and even Facetime for video. I’ve read why but I don’t quite understand the reasons since you can connect the HPod mini directly to the Mac Mini’s Usbc-3 port. It needs to connect through bluetooth (which it has) to use it this way; otherwise, it has to go through iOS AirPlay or something like that…but not directly through MacOS. I’ve also read it will not support Apple’s new HD music streaming, Dolby Atmos, and Spacial sound, but I also read it will get an update so it can(?) Conclusion: I tried the big HomePod a while ago (to replace the main stereo) and it sounded great. It was not as full sounding or as loud as my current mini shelf system (as it should since it’s a system and not just one speaker), so I returned it. The Mini does not sound as “full” as the larger one but it is just as clear and crisp sounding. An update to utilize Apple’s new services would make this an excellent buy. It’s not a party speaker but that’s not why I bought it (I have that if needed). It works great as the intended computer/office speaker that sounds great for it’s size and category, and at a decent price.

Got the HomePod mini on sale at a great price. I set it up in my small office and it sounds fantastic for a small speaker. It isn't portable so it stays on my desk and it won't go anywhere...my portables are always borrowed and nowhere to be found, but this one plugs in.

I have had Apple HomePods for a few years. Amazing sound and deep rich base. Never would have imagined the mini would be JUST AS GOOD!!! Such amazing sound from such a small speaker is impressive and it also comes in multiple colors to suit your space or color preferences. 10/10

Sound is great and size is perfect. Color and build are great. Can’t wait for future updates

Love them. I wish I had 4 more. Decent sound for size. Siri not great but Apple is rumored to update Siri this year (2024). NEED iPhone or iPad to use, and having Apple Music subscription a big plus.

The device exceeded my expectations. It is very small but the sound is fantastic. It is not a hifi speaker like my old wood klipsich but it is better than my fancy 5.1 surround for the TV. I'm old and the mini is easier to understand dialog while making perfectly decent music. The mini is pretty enough but mostly inconspicuous. I like the long cord but miss a battery. Siri is Siri fun and useful but an idiot savant.

While the sound is not quite as good as a full size HomePod, it it surprisingly good and probably the best you'll find in a $99 smart speaker. In addition, it is a great addition to an Apple-enabled smart home for automation and multi-room music through AirPlay2 support. Incredibly easy to setup. If you are an Apple user, this is a great investment. I plan on getting 3-4 more to place throughout the house.

As we work on creating a smart home, I thought the home Pod would play an important role and to way the least, I was correct. Plus, it's a very good speaker that I am using with Apple Music and Sirius XM satelite radio. It worked so well, I bought a second Home Pod a week later for my home office. The learning curve isn't to steep and the intercom feature has been both valuable and fun.

If it didn’t randomly disconnect I would give it 5 stars, everything else from sound to the size of the HomePod is great

Really an awesome speaker for the price! The sound this little speaker puts out is great for the size. There is good treble and mids and surprising amount of bass for the size. If you are in the apple ecosystem then go ahead and get you one.

I was completely amazed and shocked with the sound quality! Love my HomePod’s!

Better than I expected. Sounds great. Easy to connect to with phones and apple TV box. Looking at buying 2 of the bigger ones to pair with a living room TV
