Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased the home pod for my living room, so I purchased the mini for my bedroom. I love it, Plus they interact with each other I can use as an intercom or play music throughout the home in both rooms at the same time

Great sound from a small speaker. I have the original HomePods around the apartment, and these new smaller versions give almost the same quality of audio in a smaller, and cheaper, speaker. Very happy with my purchase.

Really nice wireless speaker. If you’re an Apple user, these sound great and work seamlessly with your gear. Disappointed they discontinued the full size HomePods. Glad I got two before they were gone.

Sounds great, but it could be a little louder for a space larger than a bathroom. I have two of them and they occasionally lag on the communication between them, or completely fail. I use it primarily for music.

Awesome little speaker! Decided to buy two for the stereo pairing will be buying more to put throughout the house! The sound quality is great with two but a little off with 1. The setup is easy just have your iPhone nearby!

Wow! Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of sound that these little HomePod Minis put out! I bought two for my wife's desk and they are awesome! The intercom feature is also pretty cool! I definitely recommend these!

Great connectivity, can hear across 800 sq. foot open floor plan! Pro-Tip: Buy mounts to install them out of the way with cable management. Available on Amazon.

This was my second HomePod mini so to have stereo sound when playing music. As with anything Apple, easy set up, and the sound is excellent.

I bought one for my wife directly from Apple as a Christmas gift since she's heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem. She has a Mac, 3 iPads, an iPhone, and 2 iPods. She was very pleased with the functionality and sound of the HomePod mini, and its integration with other Apple devices. So I bought her another one today at Best Buy for a stereo effect. While they're no match for my 6-speaker system in the family room or my basement mega system, soundwise, I found the quality to be very good for speakers of their size. No buyer's remorse here, folks! Yes, Siri can be kind of ditzy at times, and it would have been great(!) if they supported Dolby Atmos. But it's rare to find any Apple product at this price point, so I'm happy for what they do.

We already had two HomePods in our home, but we decided to get a HomePod mini, as well. The overall value is excellent. While it may not have the exact same audio quality as the full sized HomePod (especially in bass tones -- we're sound/audio nerds!), the mini sounds far better than many of the similar sized "smart speakers" out there from other makers. If you own another Apple product, but haven't bought a HomePod, getting a mini would be a great introduction. The additional features beyond just playing music are very helpful, and Apple seems to be continuing to improve on them. Being able to set a quick timer, or a reminder (it recognizes who is speaking and ads to the correct person's reminders), or ask a question are all great to have handy.

To get this out of the way upfront, I am in the Apple ecosystem. I have iPads, iPhones, and MacBook Pros and like the way they work together. In its current form, this is not a product for everyone. I would think it would be practically unusable if you weren’t at least partially in Apple’s ecosystem. If you want the device to stream music from an internet source, you need to have an Apple Music subscription. I don’t, but I have iTunes Match so this device can stream my music from the cloud. Unlike other devices, like my Echo, it doesn’t support Pandora, Spotify, etc at this time. You can use AirPlay and send these sources to your HomePod from your phone, iPad, MacBook, but not without. The sound quality is very good for its size. It is able to fill the room, sounds clear and crisp, with a good overall sound. Some reviews complain about too much bass. I can see this being true, as it does seem to emphasize bass a little bit. I haven’t noticed it to be a problem in the genres I listen to (Country and Classic Rock primarily). As far as a smart speaker, it does a great job of hearing your spoken commands. I think it exceeds the competition here. Siri almost never miss hears me or ignores me. I can’t say the same for Alexa. Siri has gotten a lot better since this was released. There are still some things she ‘can’t do on this HomePod’ but overall is pretty good. I have to take away one star because of one problem. Being in the Apple ecosystem, I wanted to have Siri add things to my grocery list, reminders, send texts, etc, and I get told the iPhone that was used to setup HomePod must be on the same Wi-Fi network much too often when it is sitting right next to me. I do think it is a 4 star product with the other limitations mentioned above because it generally does everything it promises to do very well. If you are unaware of the limitations, you may be disappointed. Another thing to consider is the color. I went with the black because the white was dirty immediately after being taken out of the box.

I have been a lover of Apple products for years. This is another amazing product by Apple. The speaker has awesome sound and packs a huge punch for it's small size. It connects to any other Apple product with ease.

Very good sound for background music, just don’t expect movie theater volume and clarity. Plays loud and clear for its size. I have a pair set up as stereo in my bedroom. The upper bass is a little to emphasized and the treble falls off a little more than I like but overall I am impressed.

Love our HomePods. We use it for sending messages in our 2 story house. The only reason it doesn’t get a 5 star is because you have to reboot if it disconnects with the internet which does happen once in awhile

If you're like me and stuck in the Apple ecosystem, you might as well pick up a couple of HomePod Minis. We use two of them as speakers for our Apple TV, and plan to add more as an intercom system in our house.

It's perfect for my living room and complements the other one I have perfectly.

A rather pretty mini. I gave it as a gift to my son and he is well pleased. It has good sound quality and easy to use since it connects so easily to the other apple devices. He enjoys playing his songs through it.

Got this for my 12 years old daughter, she loves it a lot. This little thing plays loud music with good quality of sounds. I recommend for kids room.

Sounds great for its size! I bought 5 minis and 2 full size that I have throughout the house. Must have addition if you are vested in the Apple ecosystem. Pair these with Phillips Hue lighting which also runs through the Apple HomeKit app. While a bit pricey, the full size versions at $300 each sound awesome on their own, but are incredible if you pair 2 together in the same room. A combined 14 tweeters, 2 woofers, and 12 microphones. I had the music cranking almost to the max and could not believe that it actually heard me practically whisper Hey Siri from across the room and responded. The minis do not have as many mics, so you may have to raise your voice a bit more. Alexa got kicked to the curb, or in a garage sale box, once I got these.

We got this for my parents, in part to stream music from Apple Music, but mostly because it was a cheap and easy way to get a HomeKit Hub. The sound is a bonus. (I have about 8 around my house too, and they're wonderful.)
