Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great sound and syncs well with virtually any other Apple product. I have 3 and will keep getting more.

This thing can make some noise. Love the design and form factor. The new humidity and temperature sensors are a nice bonus too.

I have had my eye on the HomePod since it was released. For me the cost of entry was always a bit too high. I finally caved when Best Buy had a sale and picked one up. Comparing it to the two echo dots that I have at home, the HomePod was in a whole other league. Sound was crisp and filled the room, and sounded great in multiple locations, due to the HomePods ability to optimize it sound based on the room. Being an Apple Music subscriber, using Siri on the HomePod to play music and playlists that it would think I would like has been nothing short of a treat. I find the music recommendations great and the sound quality unmatched in a smart speaker. Although Siri has gotten a bad reputation, I find Siri is more than adequate for most queries and actions. Again comparing it to my two echo dots, I actually prefer Siri for 99% of things. I have found Siri to have less hangups, especially when making music requests. Apples app “Siri shortcuts “does make customizing what you request from Siri better. However the app can be a bit daunting to novice users. And Siri’s response when responding to custom commands can sometimes be robotic. I have found that Siri is far quicker than Alexa at controlling smart home devices. Having loved the HomePod so much, when they were on sale again, I picked a second one up. I set them up in stereo mode and was again very impressed by the sound that it put out. Ideally, I would have a HomePod on each floor of my home. Due to the higher price of the HomePod, the cost can be restrictive to making that a reality. While I have two set up on one floor in a stereo pair, it is easy enough to move one or both to another floor or a room, plug it in, and have it play without doing anything else. The HomePod works best with Apple Music, but with the upcoming update in the Fall of 2020, Apple will be allowing third party music support on the HomePod. Although it is possible to do so now by air playing to the speaker from your phone, you must still rely on the phone to do so. The new update should allow third party services to run natively. The HomePod is a device for people that want smart home control, with the advantage of privacy that Apple offers, along with a love and appreciation for music. If music is not a priority, there are currently cheaper alternatives to dedicate to smart home control. For music lovers and those in the Apple ecosystem, the HomePod is a great choice.

When Apple announced they were discontinuing the original HomePod, I was disappointed and quickly ordered another one to pair with the one I bought a year ago. I really wanted a set to stereo pair with our Apple TV. The sound quality is outstanding for such a small speaker. We have it set as the default audio output on our Apple TV 4K and it works like a charm. Far superior sound to the TV speakers (admittedly, not hard to do), convenient Siri integration, intercom to other Homepods in the house, and designed with a sleek look I don’t mind having on the mantle, as opposed to a long sound-bar. Sad to see them be discontinued.

Sound is great for a little device. Love the ability to pair with my iTunes! Siri isn't quiet as intelligent as Alexa though ;)

It is much better than the Nest Home and Google Home I've had in the past. Faster and works well with my smart home.

These little things are a lot louder than expected and the size is perfect. Big enough to be noticed but small enough not to obstructive. I purchased them for all the room in my house and they are a welcome addition especially with the intercom feature; no more yelling dinner is ready for me.

Excellent sound quality. Easy to use. I have two hooked up to my Apple TV and love steaming music and phone calls to them from my laptop or phone. Super easy to set up and use.

If you have an Apple TV or iPhone/iPad this is a must have. Handing off music and call from other Apple devices is a breeze. I put mine behind the couch and it’s synced with the TV so movies and shows sound great! Plus since Siri is built in, controlling my lights or other HomeKit devices is easy.

There is a lot of sound coming out of this little speaker. Its the size of a large orange. Had to use my iPad to set it up because iPhone kept asking to sign in to iTunes for some reason. Once configured can its available to pair with apple devices. Like it so far and would recommend it. I bought the white one but there are other colors.

Excellent product I already have the full sized HomePod the small size of mini Is extremely convenient especially for bedside tables and also turning it in to A full theatrical system utilizing four minis And a full-size HomePod. Quality extremely high meds and Lows crisp and clear.

I have this setup as a stereo pair on my desk. I've used Homepods in other rooms in my house for years. I love the size and sound quality of the Mini.. especially the sound when it is paired up with another. I've had better performance controlling my smart home devices with Siri than other options.

The HomePod mimi is only small in size the sound is amazing and is great for home controls. This HomePod lives in the kitchen/dinning room where we can listen to music while we prepare our meals and eat. it is a great all on for those small spaces that don't need the big homepods. We love it!

The set up is so easy. The sound quality is amazing! My grandson tried to talk with Siri, but Siri did not recognize his voice and asked who was speaking. This alerted me so it gave me the opportunity to intervene—in my house this counts a lot. I bought one for my daughter as a Christmas gift.

Easy to use and set up through the home app, it kind of automatically pops up on your phone when you have it near it to. You can use it to control any smart accessories you have in the home, as an alarm, speaker, or just to ask any daily questions. Very small but packs punch for a good price.

Great sound for the price, This is my third HomePod mini. This one fills my art room with music. It was easy to set up and they are easy to use with the TV. Works seamlessly with all of my other Apple products

This is going on year 2 of having this product. Initially was great had no issues, the sound quality was amazing, and bass was booming. Unfortunately now over the past couple month, I haven’t been able to connect to my home WiFi and connect to the speaker. I have restarted it multiple times, and reseted it a couple times a well. Whenever it starts up Siri says “Unable to connect to the internet right please try again later”. Now this speaker is just basically collecting dust and not in use.

Perfect for the bathroom to keep music flowing from room to room. Great sound and easy to set up in HomeKit.

It is a great little speaker and works seamlessly with the iPhone. It is so nice to be able to hand off calls and music.

If you’re already in the Apple ecosystem, the HomePod mini will be an excellent addition. Working at home, I wanted something that I could stream music and help me with my daily schedule, as well as reminders and notes. It sounds great in my small office and doesn’t take up space.
