Customer Ratings & Reviews

This device is amazing for how small it is. Dont get me wrong 100 dollars is alot when it comes to speakers but when i pluged it up and went thrugh the set up process it worked amazing the sound quality is pretty good for a small speaker. Would definitely recommend if you are in the apple ecosystem

This is a nice speaker for the size. Since I don't turn the music way up it is perfect. It was easy to pair with my other apple device.

awesome sound quality and bass for such small design

Great smart speaker. Best used in conjunction with other HomePods but is great standalone as well. Surprisingly big sound for a small speaker under $100. Overall a great buy.

Cant go wrong with Apple! The sound is amazing for its size and in a big room, it makes the music come from different directions! The bass is impressive for an apple size speaker!

Great speaker for the size! It was my second one so I could pair them and works better then my bose speaker

Great sound for a small speaker better than JBL and able to hide.

This little thing does much better than you'd expect for being a baseball sized, mesh speaker. home integration is impressive and the sound is beyond it's price point

I loce this device. Its sounds great, its compact, and easy to move around to different rooms. Its part if my daily homeflow.

For such a small speaker the sound quality is surprisingly good! Of course, it cannot match the full range of the original Homepods which paired have replaced my conventional stereo system. I use the Homepod mini placed near my chair in the den to augment the speakers of the Sony tv; I find that the Homepod mini makes dialog clearer and crisper. My only reservation (which explains the loss of a star) is that while the volume is easily adjustable by the remote or voice command the Homepod does not respond to the mute button on the Apple TV which has now replaced cable. I have tried numerous settings but to no avail. Otherwise, the Homepod mini functions flawlessly.

Easy to setup, sound is great add would recommend to others.

If you are wondering is it worth the money the short answer to this review is yes. However, there is a but! If you are an apple loyalist like myself it was made for you. Sorry android users there is no real cross compatibility I can recommend from experience. The sound is great as I ordered two for more fuller sound in my bedroom. My real con is there are occasions where the music stops playing for the iTunes app just goes silent however quick reset of my AirPlay and in back in business. Also accidentally Getting too close with you phone trades the music off from each other which can be annoying if you are charging you phone near your HomePod while playing music but I go around it. It’s great for areas in the house where you want music but don’t need to feel the base in your soul.

It sounds amazing for the size. Though it lack some capabilities where Alexa and google shines, it does produce great music. It’s by far the best small speaker I’ve used (I do have Alexa and google mini speakers, which I use rarely). And the microphone capabilities are incredible. It was able to capture the voice from about 10+ feet away while playing music at about 70% volume. Got some cool animations on the top. And the U1 chip does a great job with newer iPhones (which has U1 in them). If apple could add some smart capabilities to Siri, it would be the best. It’s bit pricey but I think it would last long.

This device is simple to use, plugged it in and my iPhone instantly found it via bluetooth. The sound this device puts out is remarkable for such a small speaker.

If you have a lot of Apple products, and even more HomeKit enabled smart devices, I would reccomend getting this for every single room in your home. HomeKit doesn’t have the best device compatibility, but when you have devices that do work with it, it performs amazingly. Even if you dont have smart home devices, I would 1000% reccoment getting this and an Apple Music subscription. It sounds absolutely amazing and is even better at maximum volume.

I purchased a HomePod mini not for its speaker, but its computer: to date, this is the cheapest way to automate your home via HomeKit. Well, that's not entirely true -- the homegrown method of running a HomeKit emulator on a spare computer/Raspberry Pi is cheaper if you've got the parts on hand. However, taking all of the configuration, tedium, and unreliability out of the equation for the price of a HomePod mini is a worthwhile expense to me. That said, it works great as a HomeKit hub. It's quick and wholly reliable. The next cheapest option is an Apple TV at $150, and you may not want/need an Apple TV. The HomePod mini can fulfill all of its purposes without any extra hardware beyond an iPhone, whereas the Apple TV requires a home theater system to shine. Of course, both exhibit the blessing and the curse that is Apple's "walled garden" of product interaction. Like many Apple accessories, you're either in or you're out... or you're just kinda in, but not really getting what the hoopla is about... The sound is not worth writing much about. Unlike the full-sized HomePod, this contains a single speaker. It doesn't fill a room, but rather, it reaches across a room. The default equalization is a little flat, but full enough for my tastes; more often than not, I'm simply playing a podcast on it while I'm in the kitchen (roughly where I've positioned the HomePod mini.) It's just acceptable. If it weren't for the HomeKit features, and this were just a smart speaker, I'd be rating it much lower because of its cost. Siri is somewhat quick to respond, and the microphones do a great job of picking up an ordinary speaking volume from a distance. Response time is much closer to that of the iPhone than that of, say, the Apple Watch, which always seems to take at least a few "moments". You can disable the microphones if you please, but to do so will disable Siri, eliminating a ton of the utility this thing offers. Physical buttons are minimal, relying on capacitive "up" and "down" inputs flanking the on/off/Siri button. A cool side note regarding interaction, you can use the NFC in your newer iPhone (any iPhone capable of Apple Pay) to wake the device up and immediately begin playing simply by bringing your iPhone right up next to it. I imagine this capability would extend to other Apple devices, such as the Apple Watch, but I haven't tried that out yet. I can't comment on how these sound when paired in a stereo configuration, but I don't imagine it would change much in terms of audio quality. The single tiny driver inside is only capable of so much. It performs well enough on its own in spite of its limitations, but it's not going to "wow" you -- that's what the full-sized HomePod is for. Overall, when you want to automate the HomeKit devices in your home, this is the cheapest way to do so. Including a decent smart speaker is just an added bonus.

Good sound. Super cute color. Looks good in my office. Going to get a couple more to set up an intercom.

Must own for any iPhone user. More sound than you would think. Great treble with decent base for the size. Siri can hear you over the music and can do pretty much any command.

Bought this to replace an old Amazon Echo device. Sound is outstanding and I love that it is small and not an eye sore in our living room. Handoff is a cool feature as well.

Wow purchased this for my wife and it has the best sound quality of any small form factor speaker I've ever had.
