Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was very excited when this was announced and purchased right away. I was going to put this in a medium sized rec room. It replaced a Sonos, which was better suited for another area. I was immediately impressed, while the volume wasn't nearly as high as the Sonos the clarity was still ever present and it still had a good amount of low end.

I thought this speaker was adorable so I picked up one thinking it was a portable wireless speaker. I wanted to love it since I’m a huge fan of Apple products but I ended up returning it since it wasn’t completely wireless. (Must connect to power to use and needs internet to use its full functions). Otherwise the product was great if you want to just use it in your home and don’t plan to move it around the house. Works with Siri and plays Apple Music.

Purchased HomePod mini as a gift for someone else, so I cannot adequately say much about this product, except the sound is pretty good, although not on the level of more expensive speakers. Easy to set up and, so far, no issues. I may buy one for myself

Bought this so that I can easily talk to my mother instead of yelling for her. I use intercom feature on the home pod and can talk to her easily now. I should mention that she has hearing problems. Incredibly easy and fast to set up and even works when the volume is all the way up. For fun I hooked it up as a theatre system and was surprised at the quality of the sound.

This device has had no problems. I turned the speaker on, and and almost instantly the device was set up. This is what I like the most about apple, the flawless connectivity between all their devices. The audio quality is amazing for the size, filling a small room with a high quality sound. The only down side is there is not much cross compatibility between different brands of lights. I believe they will work with Philips hue devices, which I do not own.

I have Amazon Echo's throughout my home but wanted a speaker for my kitchen. I was shopping online when these were announced so I preordered one. I had full intentions of returning it and purchasing another Echo speaker....but the sound on this thing is amazing. It sounds significantly louder than it should for something this small. Needless to say it did not get returned.

Its been almost 11 months that I have purchased this amazing tech from Apple and am totally content with the product and its features. Me being in Apple ecosystem, this complements rest of the Apple devices. Right from morning songs to controlling devices, this operates flawlessly as expected. The Mini came in well packaged and was an experience to open the package from Apple. Once opened and powered up, the setup was very easy, if one has an Apple ID. The apple id can be tagged to the Mini by scanning the top of the Mini and things get synced up easily. There are multiple uses of Mini. Mini can be configured first using the Home app from Apple, where it is considered as a Hub. Once configured, it can be activated by saying "Hey Siri" followed by your instructions. From using it as a hub in Home app to as a Bluetooth speaker, it works like a charm. This being a good speaker, gives amazing music output. With most recent updates, it also has lossless sound, but I am eagerly waiting for spatial sound to be played using iPhone on Mini. All in all, this is the best Apple device that I use at my house to control other gadgets and also use it as a speaker.

Amazing sound nice size great quality worth the money

I love Apple Products and this Mini doesn't disappoint. It is cosmetically pleasing but delivers the function and sound of expensive products while packaged in a small sphere. It easily sits on my desk and provides a high quality sound while I work. I'm still learning the My Home app to integrate with other smart devices but seems behind Google in this area.

For its size the sound is amazing. The question is the price. For this price you can get a full size echo which is gonna pack more punch. But the mini still has some tricks up its sleeve. It works great with apple TV and supplements the sound from my HomePods helping me hear voices better when I watch TV.

Siri has improved a LOT over the years and is now actually usable. Still not as robust as Alexa, but the added Apple privacy is well worth it for me. I think it comes down to your desire for privacy. The sounds is excellent as well, better than any other home assistant I've tried (besides, of course, the $300 version of this product, which I'm definitely not buying.)

Great device in terms of design, build quality, and price and allows you to easily step into the world of Apple Home automation without too much of a barrier. I want one for every room in the house!

Almost perfect. The size is great. The audio quality is great. Controlling it with the iPhone is a little finicky in the sense that it’ll sometimes disconnect from the phone and just start playing random music similar to what you were listening to. Also it would have been nice if the cord was detachable. Plus using the fat power bricks Apple gives kind of sucks.

Sleek design, great sound. Easy to use with multiple family members.

Because I use a lot of Apple products I decided to give this one a try as well. The sound is good. Just as good as my little portable Bose speaker. I can use it with my Apple TV. I can just say “Hey Siri, turn on TV” and it works. It is also used to turn on lights in my room. The one con is it sometimes doesn’t work either it doesn’t understand you or whatever. That can be annoying. My backup, sorry Apple, uhm is Alexa. Price was a little high.

If you are part of the Apple ecosystem and use Apple Music, just buy it now. It’s powerful, it’s small, it’s classy. I got four. Intercom feature is actually my favorite part!! Only complaint: white plug comes with the space gray HomePod, which is an unusual design misstep on apple’s part (meaning if the plug is visible, you’ll have to get a black adapter so it matches).

Great sound. Great hub for smart home. We’ll bit more later. Cheaper than the big one.

Works great. ~ Some small setup issue but resolved it fairly quick. Just be sure to have apple-ID information complete & be sure the smart speaker isn’t sitting on or near home stereo speakers or high power devices like a home theater receiver. This way it receives an undisturbed signal from the home WiFi. A bookshelf or uncluttered nightstand is a good choice. ~ Don’t expect crazy loud volume of music from this unit. It can fill tiny/small rooms just beautifully, but for large open rooms will require an additional speaker for more a enjoyable music experience. I feel this size of this smart speaker is best suited for dorms or personal spaces. It’s larger companion is best suited for the larger/open spaces such as big living rooms. ~ Siri responds well, as long your internet connection is strong. Just be sure to pay attention yourself for Siri’s lights or Siri’s audio u’huh response. ~ I myself have been enjoying mine mainly as a low wattage sleep sounds speaker & occasional small music list listening. (In use for at least 10-hours dally, if not longer.) Before, I used a low watt surround sound system. But it still used too much electricity for me to be comfortable with. But this unit is perfect. When the speaker is asleep, it’s power consumption is almost nothing. That makes me happy as well.

This little thing packs a punch. Sound quality for such a little speaker is impressive. Apple did a great job. I highly recommend it. The handoff feature is super smooth and Siri is somewhat reliable not perfect yet, but getting better.

What’s not to like? Sounds good, easy to setup. Siri does what Siri does without fault. We now have one in every room to control lights, music, send emails, texts, bla bla bla. It just works….
