    love that I can play anything on my phone onto the homepod. Google and Alexa don't let you do that. I would highly recommend if you have other Apple products!

    The HomePod does everything I'd hoped for, and more. The sound is simply amazing, and the Siri interface controls my numerous "Smart Home" devices with ease. Set up was a snap. "Hey Siri, Is my garage door closed?" integrated so easily with the Insignia Garage Door kit. It listens... and listens well. "Hey Siri, set a timer for 35 minutes." "Hey Siri, how many teaspoons in a cup?" Coupled with Apple Music, any song or group that comes to mind is brought to life. I can't say enough good things about it, except I'm not quite sure how I got along without it before!

    I’m really impressed by its performance. I got it primarily for the smart home commands and features but I wasn’t expecting this small speaker to sound good.

    The sound quality is good for such a small speaker but it would be so much better if it were wireless like other BT speakers in this category. It also has issues when connected to two iPhones at once.

    Worst Apple product

    I have two of these things and they’re the worst product Apple makes. They work great for a couple weeks then become the most finicky piece of tech I have in my house. They will just stop working for no reason. They’ll drop connection randomly. I’ve rebooted my router multiple times, updated them, and they still have all these problems. I regret buying two of them. Feels like I’m using a cheap Android product from Five Below.

    Overall the HomePod Mini is very good. The only issue I have found is this device's Siri has twice now had trouble turning on my LIFX smart bulb. I was still able to control the bulb via HomeKit as well as Siri on my iPhone 12 Pro so I dont know why the HomePod would have any issue. I reset the HomePod twice now (each time after the issue) and it appears to have fixed it for now.

    I have been really enjoying the mini HomePod in the space that I have it in. At first I got the regular HomePod but I was not satisfied with the sound for the price, decided to get the mini because it is way cheaper and does the same thing (siri commands) and the sound is good for my room.

    Good device all around. The quality to the sound is better than my Echo Dots, but the volume doesn’t go as high as the echo dot, I’m assuming the quality starts to degrade at that point. Overall asking Siri a question it is not as quick and responsive as any of the latest Apple products but gets the job done just the same. When you unbox it and start to play with it I felt like I could tell it came out 4 years ago and really needs a refresh with the newer hardware

    I run two of these as stereo speakers with my 4k Apple TV. Sounds pretty good. The speakers have built in controls so I can pause/ play and regular the volume.

    Not an audiophile but the sound is really good. User interaction is practically flawless. I got two for surround sound. Only regret is I didnt know a new homepod was coming out else I wouldve waited

    My least useful Apple product. Sounds fine. Siri works as well as it does on other devices. I think my biggest problem is handoff love the idea of switching audio quickly to the device but once the music is handed off you can no longer control it from your phone. Wish it worked like Spotify where you can control the music from any other device isn’t playing music.

    We bought two and have used them mainly for music, weather information and as intercoms. They serve these limited purposes very well, although somewhat of a luxury given the price. At this point, we do not have a smart house, but if we add that functionality, I can see where the HomePod minis could become more of a valuable tool.

    I bought a pair of these for my bedroom, and they’re awesome. I can cast the audio from my Apple TV to them, and transfer audio from my phone to them in a tap. Setting them up in stereo mode is the way to go, and they can really fill a room well.

    Music sounds great coming from this speaker! Its pricey compared go a google home mini, but it does sound better. I really only wish there was aux output so i could connect it to my home stero too.

    It is excellent. I have had to force reset all the recent HomePods I have purchased by holding down the center until it turns red. To speculate, I wonder if Home/Homekit may be several versions newer than the out of box firmware on the HomePods. Overall, excellent device and Atmos playback when synced as a pair. Can’t beat Apple Security either when running iCloud with a proper configuration.

    Makes HomeKit easy and far more useful. Better than having several different hubs for HomeKit. Also have great sound quality. Love the intercom system. No more shouting for family from different floors.

    We have always been an Apple household but I never had the HomePod until now. It’s amazing and pairs so well with the Apple TV as surround sound!
