Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works really well for playing music, but Siri is dumb as a stump at most everything else. She gets smart home requests right 75% of the time, and adding reminders is fine, but most knowledge queries are a bust.

The best Bluetooth speaker for the money if you are already within the Apple Ecosystem. This thing has a broad feature set that is not limited to just playing music over Bluetooth. Setup is easy and if you’re using other Apple products playing music through the speaker DOES NOT require you to go connect to it in your Bluetooth settings every time you wanna use it. I didn’t realize how crucial this was until we got one and I experienced it for myself.

I love it, I love it, I love it. I love the color. I love the sound. The only thing is, I don’t know if it works without being connected to an electrical outlet.

Excellent product sound it’s so good and he has some good base to and you don’t have to speak lower so Siri can hear you I really recommend this to everyone who likes Apple products

I purchased this item along with a Mac mini. My plan was to use the HomePod as the speaker for the computer. So far it has worked well. The volume is such as it allows me to watch streaming services with great sound. I also like using the device as a time and alarm. I hope to find other uses for it in the future. Good purchase

This is a great product but there are some things that just make me take off one star from my rating. I use this mostly as a speaker and the sound is great! Before this i was using my sound bar but with me living on the second floor i had to keep it at a low volume so i wouldn’t upset my neighbors, but with this Mini I’m able to get the great sound i would get with my sound bar but without being too loud. Siri is good on this too. I would rate it a 7/10. For some reason when i ask about the weather i have to confirm where i want the weather for, even though she has my location. When i ask for battery life on any of my devices Siri says “i don’t have battery life but i can tell you the battery life of any other devices” that’s pretty annoying but other than that Siri still does everything else great like always.

I love the fact that you can add multiple users and the home pod can distinguish which user by the voice.

It’s small and sounds amazing it’s easy to set up and works perfectly with Apple Music and the shipping was really fast the box was kind of beat up and I did not buy a open box to one

Works great, bought it for my girlfriend-the same as the big homepod but more convenient for dorming since its small and portable

If you’re in the Apple ecosystem, a HomePod mini is a nice addition. It’s small, looks good, sounds pretty decent, and overall is useful. My main issues with this device: it has a dumbed-down way of setting up that is highly frustrating. It grabs your network from your setup device (my iPhone). So far, so good. But I live in an apartment, with lots of Wi-Fi networks really closeby. I have Xfinity, with my own named network. But I’ve also loaded the profile for the Xfinity hotspots on my phone so I can access them when out and about. Now, there are many other Xfinity customers around me, many of whom have their hotspot turned on. The HomePod grabs the profile for the Xfinity Wi-Fi network from my phone. Now, if my own network hiccups for whatever reason, it loves to slide onto one of these other networks. Then, I get “I’m having trouble connecting to the internet” and “This is taking longer than normal. Please open the Home app and connect me to the internet.” Even more annoying “Hey Siri, set an alarm for 8 am,” which results in “I’m sorry, you must be on the same network to manage alarms.” If I go to the Home app, select the HomePod, it will show it as on another network. Or on my network, but I still get these errors. I think it likes to hop between the dozen available in the area. But there is no way to access any kind of network selection or exclusion list in Home, and there’s no actual interface on the device. And you think Siri can help with that? No, Siri cannot. I’ve noticed that Siri has become less and less intelligent over the years. When Siri first came out - as an independent app that I had on my iPhone 3GS, I could ask Siri to “make me dinner reservations for 2 tomorrow night at SPQR” and it would return “a table for two is available at 6:45 pm and 9:30 p.m, which would you like?” “9:30 pm” “ Ok, you have reservations for 2 at 9:30 pm tomorrow at SPQR in San Francisco.” Good luck getting that kind of assistance anytime since. As you must interface with the HomePod primarily by verbal commands, Siri willl likely be a source of frustration. Commands that work one day will not work the next. Siri does a lot of time “thinking” and “sorry.”

These speakers are so amazing! I was able to remove all of the speakers and wires from my TV! No extra speakers needed. We have a HomePod next to each of the chairs we sit in to watch TV, so no more need for hearing aid adjustments to hear TV. It works for movies on TV AND apple music, using TV or iPhone. There is no drain on our iPhone batteries either. When you want the volume adjustment you just ask Siri to do it. To pause the music or movie, you can ask Siri to pause or you can touch the top of the HomePod to start and stop. Great sound, great technology for us aging folks! They are a big deal for such a small speaker!!

Very nice for music! I like having this for questions and problems.

Siri is not as smart as other smart speakers, but the sound quality is amazing. I also love the apple eco system, especially when you’re playing music from your iPhone. If you tap your phone on the HomePod it automatically transfers the music on there and vice versa

My daughter is ten years old and she loves it. She uses it to play music in her room and ask it for the morning weather. She keeps it on her desk and it is so helpful during her homework time. When she is reading a book and gets stuck on a word, all she has to do is ask out loud "hey siri, what does this word mean". Or when she is doing an assignment and needs help spelling a word. She doesn't have to stop and look up the word, she just has to ask siri out loud.

love the color. Very loud for a mini speaker. Will definitely buy another one for my living room.

Good sounding speaker. Easy to use and connect. But crashes from time to time and need to be rebooted.

It works perfectly with my nanoleaf lights. Easy to install! I’m getting another one for my bedroom!

Very good mini HomePod speaker it work really good not bad for the price Best Buy is the best store to buy electronics I always buy here great customer service love this store I would recommend it

HomePod mini is really nice addition to the office table. Very good sound, nice bass and good clarity. Siri is super responsive, fast connectivity.

Modern day intercom which is AMAZEBALLS!!! I don’t have to get up or scream for my kids in the front of the house. I can ask Siri to do all the heavy lifting. And the sound quality for such a tiny device, MIGHTY and clear!! Everyone should have these!!
