    Easy instant music and it listens to me from across the room. The other day I was listening to an audio book and walked with my phone next to it and my phone asked if I wanted to transfer the audio to the home pod. That was a cool idea!

    Bought two for my son and his fiancé to use with their Apple TV like a sound bar. Sounds great and they are thrilled. Just makes the sound of the tv so much more equalized. Pairing takes seconds and when using two it asks if you want them paired in stereo or just as singles. Very simple set up.

    HomePod mini is anything but small or weak

    Siri's ready to help, certainly more than Alexa. Since we are an Apple-dominant home, we figured switching away from Jeff Bezos was a positive step. Siri has interfaced with our HomeKit items effectively, allowing us some more flexibility. In short, we are happy with the sound quality and experience.

    HomePod mini was as advertised, easy install and has great sound. I returned and purchase 3 more. Paired 2 for my entertainment center, also an easy install. It actually installs itself. As a senior it was great.

    We got this as a gift for my niece, and she loves it. She is just getting into having a phone and having her own little bit of technology and this was the perfect addition. Her mom said she has loved being able to play music in her room and just make her space a little more her own. So a total win!

    I have several of these around the house. I really appreciate how responsive Siri is on the HomePod. Great "big" sound from a small device. And the Intercom feature has saved my vocal cords when we need to get our kids attention from their converted attic bedroom.

    The Homepod Minis are quite handy with the new temperature & humidity sensors being recently activated. They sound very good for their size and when combined into a stereo pair, the soundstage really widens.

    It’s a very nice speaker for the size. A pretty large sound comes out of this thing. The microphone will pick you up from the next room when using it to control your smart home. As many have said Siri is not as good as other assistants in answering questions but that is probably the only shortcoming.

    A direct competitor to the Amazon echo dot only in Apple form, the HomePod mini has clearer sound and can also be paired up with Apple devices to become a speaker

    Apple products are great I have been an iPhone user since the very first one, iPads, iMacs so worth the money and Apple has great customer service. However this home pod mini, bought 3 of them and a tech came out to install them after I returned the one she was here 1 1/2 hours couldn’t do it she said the Apple update was most likely causing this and it should be fixed after the next update is available out. I returned them went to Amazon and bought 2 new echos and the echo sub and it was the best thing I ever did and it cost less too. Had it set up in 5 minutes.

    I like this sooooo much more than a google home pod or Alexa. Doesn’t listen to EVERYTHING but listens when it matters and makes automation easy. The speaker function is fantastic.

    If you're a fan of Apple products, this won't disappoint. We owned a pair of Sonos Play 1, which were also great but I've enjoyed the HomePod even more because: setup is much easier, it sounds just as good (actually, better in terms of base and depth of sound), it's a more flexible system - easier to move around and readjust and easier to pair with additional speakers (we purchased 2 HomePods), and of course, it's a smart device and it works very well with other HomeKit compatible devices. We're able to control all of our devices with the HomePod. The HomePod instantly became a part of the family or so my children thought as they seem to call out for Siri throughout the day, every day.

    Great! It works exactly as you need. Its always there, responds well to Siri and looks great with most decore. Much easier on the eye than the homepod. It also has incredible sound dynamics! Comes in a variety of colors. We have both gray and white to match our home.

    I was hopeful the price would come down. I patiently waited and it did. I own an Apple TV and a Roku. when you listen to music with the HomePod, the sound is amazing. I’m working on getting better speakers for my AVR. The set up I have right now sounds great when you’re watching a movie. Not so much for music alone. Saving up for better quality speakers. The only con I have to say is the electrical cord is a little short. You can’t place it far from a wall without an extension cord. The best thing I like is it doesn’t try to sell you anything. Oh yeah, the bass from this little cylinder HomePod surprised me. Amazing. Siri fun to have. Gotta get used to talking to it so it’s a learning curve. I’m thinking of getting one more to go stereo with it. Maybe at Christmas time.

    Good sound but disappointed by functionality

    Sadly, I have been growing increasingly disappointed with Apple products over the last 18-24 months. I had high hopes for this speaker. In terms of audio quality we enjoy the sound. Siri commands are nominal which is about what you'd expect at this point as Siri is fairly limited. Our biggest disappointment with the speaker is the ability to play music from various devices in the home on the network. It only syncs up with one primary itunes account and then has a strong default to only that music. There are times we'd like to more easily stream music from our amazon music or other audio from videos etc. and it just isn't very smooth or streamlined. Overall, we might purchase a second one as we had planned, but the first experience has definitely given us pause on this decision. We may ultimately decide to go ahead with it, but now we have more realistic expectations i suppose. Just seems like the user experience switching from phones or computer on the WiFi network in the house would have been easier and not feel so limiting.

    Has the usual amazing Apple product design, elegant look, amazing sound. Main flaw is the software being extremely buggy and laggy. iPhone 11, has connection stalls, volume controls on phone stop working, doesn’t connect to airplay on Mac reliably, “handoff” feature relies heavily on network connection.

    Little speaker with a big sound. Not quite as great as the original Homepod that ~350 but this is much more affordable. Works great with your iphone or Ipad or Mac. I have two of these and they are pefectly in sync between room to room, its amazing and it "Just Works".
