Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really like my HomePod mini for its size it will easily fill an average sized bedroom loudly. Also, it responds fast and hears me very easily. Plus the blue color looks amazing and the white top doesn’t attract finger prints which keeps it looking nice. Siri does need improvement but for average requests it does great it’s only if you try and do multiple requests or something more complex that it struggles.

I had my doubts due to the size and the history apple has had with previous speaker items (beats, apple wired ear buds). But this was on sale and after watching apple reveal the HomePod. I must say it is everything they say it is. Sounds really good, super crisp with no speaker distortion, Great equalization and when you first turn it on to set up the HomePod it measures the sound to fit in the room that you’re going to be playing it in. Also Siri has had a major update with this HomePod system because I can be several feet away and she understands exactly what I ask her to do, if it’s changing the song, changing the volume, Siri is right on it. The HomePod is also great for the hub base along with my iPad. I loved this product so much I bought another one for my work studio and my fellow employees were instantly sold and both went out and bought one for each of there homes. The Apple HomePod is definitely worth every penny if you just want a great sounding stereo that’s even compact. Or a hub to run your smart home features off of this is the way to go.

I've had this for almost three months, and it's a great smart speaker. I was amazed at first by the sound quality and bass from such a small speaker. Apple's engineers know what they are doing. I had some hiccups at first with respect to the speaker not detecting my phone in the same wifi network when I would ask personal requests, but I suspect that may have been because of the subpar wifi router I had (or an OS bug). No regrets with this speaker.

It's small but mighty. Easy to use to control our "smart home"

Amazing sound from this tiny speaker. Easy setup and integrated into my other devices simply. The only draw back is it doesn't integrate with as many third party apps as Alexa. Thankfully most of my smart home setup is already integrated with Homekit anyway, and things like audible can be played using AirPlay. I also love how it recognize's my kids voices and will play music they want but it won't show up on my recently played, it shows up on theirs.

Apple HomePod mini it’s great, I have 3 of those. I’m using two for stereo sound paired with my tv and really happy with the results… I really recommend this product

I have other smart home devices, but have more Apple phones, iPad, etc.. Did I really need another device in my apartment?? I purchased the small device, had it delivered at work, and hooked it up at home. Best decision I ever made. Such a small speaker, but the sound has been perfect. Taping my iPhone to transfer music once I'm home has been very handy. I'll purchase a matching Homepod Mini in another week, to experience stereo sound.

For such a small device the volume gets decently loud. The microphone is excellent and can sometimes detect a “hey Siri” whisper in the same room. Voice recognition is good. Siri is responsive and fast. I previously had these paired to my AppleTV to work in stereo since my TVs speakers are bad. Worked well enough but not entirely seamless. If you want a smart speaker and very integrated in the Apple ecosystem this will be excellent for you.

I really like the sound quality. It gets loud to wear I can hear it over the shower. The size is practical to store on my desk and not get in the way. It’s easy to use and nice to just say “Siri off” when I want it to stop. Very good product

I’ve been slowly building my smart home over a few years. The last piece I needed was the voice command options that the HomePod brought. I wasn’t willing to pay 300 for a HomePod that would essentially just be used as an expensive Alexa. The HomePod mini is perfect. The small speaker packs a big punch. I can hear and be heard through the speaker anywhere in my apartment. I trust Apple with my always on microphones much more than Amazon or google.

Amazed by the sound quality. How much SIRI has improved. Also love the Gray Color matches APTs decor.

Believe the hype! This is a great product. Well-designed and high quality. Sound quality is great. I'm not an audiophile, but I will say that the sound coming the speaker is better than my little Bose (not a fair comparison since that one is portable, and the HomePod is not). I've also tested it out using Airplay from my Apple TV and this will provide a slightly deeper and more immersive sound if you place it next to, or behind, the listeners. I'm planning on getting another one eventually to even out the sound on the other side. Siri commands are picked up really well. And now with the last update (13.2.x) it can recognize your voice so that each member of your home can have personalized responses. My wife didn't think we needed one, but now she's hooked and uses it even more than me! So glad I took advantage of the black Friday deal. Looking forward to the next one.

Great value, soft sound sexy design easy to use and above all fit the house system in seconds

I have the Sonos Play:1,3,5 in my house currently and they don’t have the same crisp quality as the HomePod. I was surprised and not really looking at purchasing it until I read some reviews. At home it’s is very loud and has no issues with low mid and high points at any volume. The Siri assistant is just like the phone can answer basic “Siri stuff” so it’s not Alexa but that’s good for me since I have an Alexa and haven’t used it as much as I thought I would. When the AirPlay 2 comes out this year you’ll be able to group together the speakers and have an options for stereo pairs but for right now it’s great. My favorite thing though is being able to finally AirPlay from my phone or computer without opening an app. If I want to show someone a video or song from anywhere on my phone you just select the HomePod as the output and it goes right to the speaker. Sonos I couldn’t play any sound from my devices to the speaker you always have to use what’s in the app. Lastly Siri can hear you over any volume you have it at with a normal speaking voice. 100% volume and the living room is filled with crisp music and deep base (for the device size and price) just saying “Hey Siri” she will volume down and wait for an input with no effort of raising your voice.

The Apple Homepod mini is a must own feature for any smart home. It's Small, loud and easy to set up.

Changes the way I watch my TV and it helps a lot when you have a newborn and you don’t want the TV to be incredibly loud and the speaker is closer to your ears

I purchased 2 so far. They are awesome. The sound quality is great for something so small. Set up was easy, as was connecting to the wifi. You can listen to two separate medias at the same time or you can stream the same content thru them at the same time. I was able to figure out how to use airplay2 thru the tv and the minis but that did take a little bit of time and some google searching. Well worth the $200 for the pair.

I was originally waiting for the return of the HomePod but who knows if it will ever return. I was in the Best Buy store for something unrelated to speakers or home assistants when I stopped by the Apple display and heard the mini’s. Well those sound pretty good for such little speakers and promptly bought 2 so I could have stereo or use in multiple rooms if the stereo mode wasn’t great. Stereo mode is excellent. Will have to buy more for other rooms. Setup was the usual easy Apple experience. Plug it in. Put your iPhone near it. Click the icon that appears on your phone. Done. Put the iPhone next to the second one and repeated the process used in the first one. It did an update which took a few minutes and they were ready to go. If you don’t have any Apple devices you can’t set these up. Overall I’m happy with the mini’s. I had the realistic expectation that the bass wouldn’t be booming and that I was going to be stuck with “hey Siri” limited functionality. I just use Siri to adjust volume, skip a song, start/stop music. Haven’t used it to make calls or do any messaging. These a great for background or foreground music. I’ve taken them outside on the deck was able to enjoy music without annoying the neighbors.

Great little speaker. Sound Quality and volume is impressive for its size.

Excellent, room-filling sound! Also great if you have HomeKit devices, as you’ll be able to control them with Siri.
