We have multiple Mini Home pods in different rooms. Two create stereo sound. Works great with an Apple TV when you have two mini home pods as a sound bar alternative

My husband loves has speaker! The speaker has nice sound with it.

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.

Excellent device and there are a ton of benefits to having this if you are an iPhone user. I set my calendar with it, answer calls, meditation, surround sound and of course play music. Sound is excellent and Siri works great! It is amazing how apple ecosystem works together for maximum productivity!

I love the sound of our HomePod mini. Since we are deeply immersed in the Apple ecosystem, it works seamlessly with all our Apple products. Super easy to set up. Once set up, I can unplug it & take to a different room with no problem. Mostly we leave it where it is. I plan to get more of them!

The sound of this speaker is so much clearer than anything else on the market that’s of similar size and price point. The price point makes this an excellent gift idea for anyone in the family, especially if they already own an Apple device.

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.

Love this speaker, works better with another one. Gives you a nice stereo sound without breaking the bank. Would really love to get a gift card

Love the sound on this speaker. It’s small but yet very loud and clear. Highly recommend getting one or two and putting them behind your tv for more sound or on a end table.

My whole house is Apple/homekit so I guess this is a little easier for me to like this HomePod. But man using two of these as stereo speakers for my bedroom tv is awesome. Loud and clear sound in a small space is exactly what I needed. Didn’t want to buy a whole sound bar. Plus it syncs with my whole house set up.

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.

This has been a wonderful addition to the home office. I love that I can use it to control the smart lights, play music/podcasts, and send audio from my AppleTV. It was so easy to set up. I'm considering a second one to get spatial audio.

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.

I liked the sound quality but setting them up wasn’t as easy as I thought. I was hoping to sync them all together (3) but was able to manage only two. They are very compact, and great looking.

So awesome! My wife kept pushing for this while we were in store to pick up other items; I thought it an unnecessary luxury. Perhaps unnecessary for some, but as an Apple Music family, this little device has been wonderful! And reasonably priced, which is weird for Apple. ;)

I love this homepod mini. GREAT sound for such a little device. Much better than my Amazon echo dot. Stylish design, Siri works great and I love that I can control it with my phone and that it ties into my Apple system. This one is a winner.

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.

This Speaker has been a great upgrade from the traditional small nest speaker I used to have—way better sound quality for the size. The seamless integration with Apple Music is perfect and whole-home audio with these speakers works wonderfully. These speakers shine when you have 2x of them set into stereo mode. The issue lies with accessories. This product uses HomeKit, and if you're familiar with using HomeKit and have a HomeKit house, this will work perfectly. Controlling your accessories is extremely simple and seems to work great(Most of the Time/I'm not going to review HomeKit here.) If you are migrating from accessories that specifically work with Google Home and Alexa.. You may need to change those accessories.

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.
