Customer Ratings & Reviews

The HomePod is a quality smart speaker as far as build quality and sound are concerned. It gets surprisingly loud for being a little bigger than a large apple. Additionally, it is very easy to pair with an iPhone because you have to unlock the phone and bring it close to the HomePod mini. One thing to mention is that this is clearly marketing towards those who use the Apple services. For me I use Apple Music and listen to podcasts while I do my work so it works really well.

very happy with these, we have several for multi room music. with proper placement depending on the size of the room it is in these sound great. Additionally you can pair 2 for stereo in any given room. setup is quick and easy and if your home/ environment is mainly an apple eco system, every thing just works together. My favorite feature is the voice recognition so I can just tell it to play my playlist of choice, and it does and My wife can tell another to play her playlist of choice and it does... we have separate apple IDs/ accounts and some differing tastes in music, or we can choose to play something on all of them throughout the house.

perfect device, sound quality, ease of use,vertsatility,you name it, it does it all, even allows you to use it as an intercom when you're far away from home in order to tell people in your living room whatever message, sadly I sold mine cuz I needed the money but will buy it again

I am a casual listener of music, but fairly avid with podcasts. I have been pleased with the sound. It is better than I expected given the small size, but don't expect it to fill a room with sound. It is super simple to setup and I haven't had any issues with it losing connection to my WiFi network. I find that Siri works really well on the HomePod mini. Even with the sound up pretty loud, it responds very quickly to commands. It works great for making and receiving phone calls. If you are not an iPhone or iPad user, this would make sense to purchase though.

Bought this out of concerns with privacy issues with Amazon Alexa. Works extremely easy and better the more Apple products you have. Sound is great and setup is super, super easy. Only caveat is is that it runs on 802.11N not, AC or AX, but can still do 5ghz. Worth the price. I control all my Hue bulbs and other home devices and it works well. I love the fact that I can use it as a speakerphone for my iPhone and send messages, update my calendar, and more.

The Apple HomePod Mini is an absolute game changer! This compact and stylish smart speaker packs a powerful punch with its impressive sound quality. The bass is deep and the vocals are crystal clear, making it perfect for listening to music, podcasts, or taking calls. Siri integration is seamless, allowing for hands-free control of your smart home devices and easy access to information and entertainment. The design is sleek and modern, and the size is perfect for any room in the house. What sets the HomePod Mini apart from the competition is its advanced audio processing technology. The speaker automatically adjusts the sound to match the room, ensuring optimal audio quality no matter where you are. And with Apple Music integration, you have access to over 70 million songs at your fingertips. In conclusion, the Apple HomePod Mini is a 5-star product in every aspect. It is the perfect combination of style, functionality, and sound quality, making it a must-have for any Apple user. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch smart speaker experience.

I've been deep into the Apple ecosystem since my first iPod in the early 2000's. We have multiple Apple TV's, iPads, iPhones, 5 Homepod Minis and Airpods. We bought 2 of these to link them as a stereo pair in a room where we are using an Apple TV as our video source on an Epson projector and these were to provide our sound without being an eyesore. These 2 are nestled at the top of our sectional where the couch meets the wall and are barely visible due to the white matching our light grey sectional. Sound quality is good, but not very powerful. I wasn't expecting these to replace home theater speakers, rather just provide the same level as a built in TV speaker. We have 2 children and we find ourselves running these at max volume just to watch a TV show on Peacock. Aesthetics-very nice looking, small footprint. Functionality/Cool factor: We really enjoy being able to use Hey Siri for weather, creating timers, adding tasks to lists, playing movies etc. Very high marks in this category. Reliability: I bough this in July of 2021 and we just noticed that the left speaker of our stereo pair was not working, Had to take to Best Buy for repair. Luckily we are within our 1 year factory warranty period. I've never had an Apple product die on me, not once in 20 years. In summary, these are cool little speakers to play some music on. We have 4 in our downstairs and when people come over we are able to stream the same source to all of the speakers to get that immersive sound effect. Nice integration with the Apple TV for audio source although we do have to manually select them each time. Overall these are really cool speakers that are lacking only in the power category. I wish they hadn't discontinued the original Homepod

It has decent-quality sound, considering its size. I have a pair set up as a stereo for my TV, and the sound is good for my taste. It works seamlessly with Apple TV.

sound good easy to use small and good speakers for this price

I got tired of Alexa's "by the way! advertising", among other things, and got lost trying to configure Google's whatever-they-are-calling-it-this-week voice activated service. Having a lot of Apple gear already, I decided to give HomeKit a try. I use HomeKit (now Apple Home) via HomeBridge in a Raspberry Pi to control a lot of devices that are not Home(kit) compatible. It runs fine; all the more reason I am pleased. I am VERY pleased with the build quality and appearance, and the ease of setup if you have an iPhone. Not sure how it would set up otherwise, but with an iPhone, and I presume with an iPad, setup is easy as falling off a log. The sound quality is good, but be advised: I am not using my HomePod Mini for music. Just voice activation, weather reports, and answering questions. Example: "Hey, Siri, what is 274 pound converted to kilograms?" My ONE cause for four stars rather than five: there is no means to keep Siri from being a bit verbose. I would like to say "Hey, Siri, turn on piano area floor lamps", and it just does it. Maybe with a little beep or double tone like Alexa does. Instead, Siri is a bit wordy at times, other times, either nothing, or "done!" (I am using the Irish male Siri voice.) If you are using Lutron for lighting, or are buying devices labeled "HomeKit Compatible", you are all set. If you are already dialed in to, say, a bunch of cloud-based devices, or, like me, a lot of Z-Wave and Zigbee items, HomeKit may not be for you unless you use something like HomeBridge or Home Assistant to join it up.

Awesome speaker and love the sound. Only thing is the speaker is not wireless has to be connected to power supply. Overall will be purchasing the HomePod and mini in near future

Great sound, color, size and a reasonable price!! My son loved it!!

This is a decent little speaker from Apple. I bought two for my home (bedroom and office; living room already has a TV sound setup) and these little units synced effortlessly with my phone and AppleHomeKit setup. Pros: Aesthetically pleasing design Good sound quality Effortless setup Affordable price point (compared with regular HomePod, at least) Cons: Works best with Apple apps (good luck Spotify users) Siri is still a work in progress, so speaking commands will take some finesse Just another basic BT speaker for Android users

1st off, the sound from this little guy blew me away. It fills the master bedroom wonderfully. It is a little on the bassy side initially but can be adjusted in Music "Settings". The design is attractive and has a small footprint. Unending amount of functionality. A noticeable upgrade from the iPod speaker of old. Extremely easy to use, its all Siri driven voice commands.

It’s a good sounding speaker with voice activated controls. Rather loud too for its size. Also if you buy multiple units you can connect them which a cool, but expensive feature. If you are in the Apple ecosystem then I would recommend getting it if you are looking for a speaker. Lastly I like that it’s small so it can be discretely placed in whatever room you decide it to be in.

My 4 year old Bluetooth speaker finally died and needed a replacement. Since I'm already in the Apple ecosystem, decided I might as well buy an apple product so I can take speakerphone calls, podcasts, and music while sleeping. One of my issues (which is most likely exclusive to me) is you have to plug it in (which is good and bad, since no battery to die like my previous), but this also means I cannot take this to my restroom/shower, because I do not have any power outlets there, they are right outside. So I can't use this there, fine. My other issue which really bothers me - is it's not compatible with Youtube! Youtube will not stream to this, which means I cannot listen to music there. That's *very* annoying. Also not compatible - business VoIP apps, so I cannot take speaker phone calls on my business line, can only take calls on my personal cell. Now the good: Sounds great! Calls/music/podcast using the Apple versions all work pretty well and I don't have to worry about charging it or batteries running out in the middle of the night. Small annoyances: moving it around (especially if you wind up lifting it from the top) - turns on music that isn't playing on your phone, but the device itself. Sometimes my AppleTV will try to play to it instead of my airpods, which *can* be useful if done on purpose. These are minor glitches that are partially user error and partially design error. It appears I'll need a couple so I can use it the way I used to use my previous BT speaker, which I may buy the next version when it comes out.

Such an impressive little device I ended up buying another one! Very practical to have a virtual assistant that is easy to use. I live in an apartment so although I don’t have the “smart home” of my dreams just yet, I can count on it to turn my lights on/off, play music pretty loud, set reminders, and I LOVE the intercom feature. Keeps me from yelling for dinner time LOL. Overall great product.

I absolutely love this smart speaker. it inergrates seamlessly with my iphone and sounds absolutely amazing. Again the Apple magic is apparent its just so intuitive. Personally I enjoy them so much I purchased 4 of them and converted my home completely away from amazon echo.

Best home speaker! So easy to setup and use. There are occasional connection issues. For example I’ll airplay Apple Music to it and it takes longer than expected for it to connect or it won’t connect at all. Siri is integrated and makes it easy to start home automation processes, play music, and manage personal needs (e.g. reminders, timers, calendar, etc.). And the price point is great!

Works well. The computer audio algorithm produces good sound for the convenient size. I have both the HomePod and the HomePod mini and suggest the mini for desk or counter where you aren’t trying to run full volume or full fidelity. This speaker still has crisp and clean sound, and good volume, but not as full as a larger speaker like the HomePod. I really like the intercom feature as well.
