Customer Ratings & Reviews

I can’t really post a Solid review on this item ‘ but when I did hear it play ‘ it was medium loud , not the loudest , and it takes time to get adjusted to it , I did like the fact it responds like an AI , I’ll post more when I spend a weekend alone with it ,

I love it, just what I was looking for, I have it in the kitchen currently corner, you can’t see it but the sound is wonderful.

It’s honestly really cool and the speakers are really good considering its size.

Love my Apple HomePod Mini! Just what I wanted to increase the sound of my iphone and apple tablet for listening to music or watching tv or youtube videos through AirPlay.

I bought this for my spouse to use in her salon for music. Previously she was using a Google Home speaker, so she was due for a sonic upgrade. And the HomePod definitely produces better sound than a Google Home, no question. But unfortunately, the speaker just didn't work well for her. Her biggest problem was caused by plugging her Square mag-strip card reader into her iPhone while music was playing. No matter what she tried, plugging the Square reader into her iPhone made music on the HomePod pause (I assume the either the phone or speaker saw the Square reader as headphones or an audio device being plugged in). I tried to fix it, but couldn't ever figure it out. It drove her nuts though, especially since the old Google Home never had this problem. She is the type to just want things to work and be simple, and saying "Hey Google, play my salon mix" is about as easy as it gets. After a month with it, the pausing issue was on her last nerve. She decided to return it and she put that money towards a Dyson hairdryer, and resumed using the Google Home for her music needs. My second, and more general, gripe is the price. I purchased the HomePod in December 2019. At that time, there was a holiday price of $199. I think, sound-wise, that $199 is the right price for this speaker. Don't get me wrong, it sounds great, but it still sounds like a bluetooth speaker, which means a limited soundstage and some lack of clarity (particularly the highs and mids). It's just inherent in the design of a small object stuffed with speakers, you get a small footprint in exchange for a lack of clarity or separation. In my opinion, $299 would be much better spent on a pair of Sonos Ones in a stereo configuration, placed apart from one another. You'll get better stereo separation and a wider sound stage with a pair of Sonos versus the HomePod. You can also keep adding Sonos speakers as you see fit, to service multiple rooms or even create a surround system. Lastly, it is also worth mentioning that the HomePod is already a 2 year old product. Sure, it sounds great for a bluetooth speaker, and it does sound better than my $139 JBL Charge 4, but it doesn't sound TWICE as good. If you pay more than $199 for this is in 2020, you're paying too much. In conclusion, if you must own a HomePod, wait for it to be on sale. $199 is a fair price for a 2 year old bluetooth speaker, but $299 just isn't a fair price anymore when you can get two Sonos One speakers for a dollar more. Also, if you're getting this for a similar use-case as my spouse, don't be surprised if using your iPhone for other activities while streaming music to the HomePod causes problems for you.

Tiny speaker with a good punch. Smart features kinda suck but but sound quality is more important to me

Prepare to be blown away at they sound that comes from this little guy. I’m used to the larger HomePod and while the larger HomePod sound way better I’m not disappointed in the sound quality of the mini at all!

Awesome Product. Samll an perfect to fit anywhere, to take with you. Sound is great! Dont hesitate. Worth it!!!

My HomePod mini is my best friend when it comes to listening to music. I am always using this thing like I don't have other ways to listen to music. It's small, but the sound is really nice. I'm glad I purchased this.

Love the volume and response time. Definitely a great buy to have synchronous entertainment throughout the home.

I’ve had Alexa devices for years but usually purchase Apple Products. I had always hesitated to spend the full price for the Home Pods. However with the huge 4th of July sale, I purchased one. I loved it so much that I purchased THREE MORE! They are amazing and the sound quality is superior to the Alexa devices. It still does many tasks like they did but I like the voice better. I selected Australian Man voice. They look sharp, are much more sturdy and EASY AS PIE to set up. They each took less than 5 minutes to set up! Highly recommended!!!

Love it! This is my first HomePod, I wanted to see if it would be a good replacement for Amazon Echos. Sound is superior, and I feel it’s more secure. Will be buying more of these for around the house.

It is so much better than an Alexa. Works perfectly

Integrates well for HomeKit as an add on or a stand alone unit. Very sensitive , can hear specific commands from the other room with no problem. Sound quality for audio playback is crisp and clear. Great deal for the price.

It's an Apple product. It just does what's it's expected to do. Sounds really good for a small speaker.

I've had an Amazon Alexa for years now in the kitchen, and it's done a good job of playing music and it's nice to get alerts about Amazon deliveries. That said, the sound quality and capabilities of the HomePod are already wayyyyy better than what Alexa can do. It sounds like a mini home theater despite its size, and I can easily play songs just by putting my iPhone near the HomePod. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is an Apple household. We have iPhones, iPads and Apple TV, so this is a great addition to add to the house.

Plays music so well and controls the light that I have hooked to my home app

Excellent product and must have at home. Easy to use and can access all items like switches, plugs, curtains can control from anywhere listen music and many more. Takes a lot of time to give details and full functionality.

Great sound for such a small speaker. Works seamlessly with my other Apple products and is an excellent hub for my Apple smartphone devices. Highly recommend.

amazing sound in a small device, still having some difficulties getting used to the connectivity and which device is picking up a call, but I'll sort it out eventually. in the meantime, music sound is solid
