Customer Ratings & Reviews

Cant go wrong with Apple! The sound is amazing for its size and in a big room, it makes the music come from different directions! The bass is impressive for an apple size speaker!

The sound quality is superb, and the ease of use is beyond simple.

Was on the fence in buying this. Came home hooked it up. Works great, placed it in my kitchen I can hear it all the way upstairs. The volume is wonderful.

This is our second HomePod mini. The balance of sound with the first one is great! Easy set up and small enough to stash anywhere.

I am loving our 2 Apple home pod minis! The sound is amazing, and they enabled us to connect other items in our home. Easy to use and set up. I would highly recommend! I will probably by another!

Small device, powerful sound even in big spaces. 100% recommended

Great smart speaker. Best used in conjunction with other HomePods but is great standalone as well. Surprisingly big sound for a small speaker under $100. Overall a great buy.

Amazing device. Connects to my Nanoleaf lighting setup with ease, bulbs and shapes. Voice control leaves a bit more to be desired as with all Siri based voice control systems. Temperature and humidity monitoring is a nice touch. Powerful sound from this small beast. Worth it to buy multiple if needing to span across different rooms

Excellent sound! Super easy to pair and effortless set-up. Not a bad price either. Would recommend for sound in one room.

This is probably my most favorite home automation device, I used to have the Amazon Alexa but quite frankly I just got tired with the amount of ads it was trying to push on me so after a while I caved in and I returned the Alexa and got myself a HomePod and I've been happy ever cents, between both using it as a speaker, connecting it to my Apple TV, and using it for home automation, I'm glad I got this purchase

Love these devices. Great sound and very easy to set up and use

I have a couple of the full sized Home Pods and frankly this one sounds just as good as the larger versions. The size of this one makes it great to use in my kitchen.

Surprising sound from a small package. Works great for single room sound, or for the whole house when you have more spread throughout.

Super easy to use. Great volume and easy to connect!

Must own for any iPhone user. More sound than you would think. Great treble with decent base for the size. Siri can hear you over the music and can do pretty much any command.

I know the price of this product doomed it to irrelevance in the smart speaker market but no matter what Apple decides to do with the HomePod I’ll always love it. It’s super easy to setup, it calibrates itself to sound great no matter where you put it. Siri sounds great, makes Alexa sound like a robot. It sounds amazing. The highs are great, the mid range (vocals) are awesome, the bass is so deep and very satisfying. On top of all that, it’s beautiful in white or black. I have three of them and if I knew that Apple was devoted to the product I would buy many more. A HomePod mini is needed badly and an investment in HomeKit would be helpful too. The HomePod should have been released for 199.00 and even then that would have been asking a lot. 349.99 was an absolutely non starter for 90% of buyers, leaving only Apple fans like me, and even I never paid full price for it. I only bought three when they were on sale for 249.00.

Bought this to replace an old Amazon Echo device. Sound is outstanding and I love that it is small and not an eye sore in our living room. Handoff is a cool feature as well.

It sounds amazing for the size. Though it lack some capabilities where Alexa and google shines, it does produce great music. It’s by far the best small speaker I’ve used (I do have Alexa and google mini speakers, which I use rarely). And the microphone capabilities are incredible. It was able to capture the voice from about 10+ feet away while playing music at about 70% volume. Got some cool animations on the top. And the U1 chip does a great job with newer iPhones (which has U1 in them). If apple could add some smart capabilities to Siri, it would be the best. It’s bit pricey but I think it would last long.

This little thing does much better than you'd expect for being a baseball sized, mesh speaker. home integration is impressive and the sound is beyond it's price point

I purchased a HomePod mini not for its speaker, but its computer: to date, this is the cheapest way to automate your home via HomeKit. Well, that's not entirely true -- the homegrown method of running a HomeKit emulator on a spare computer/Raspberry Pi is cheaper if you've got the parts on hand. However, taking all of the configuration, tedium, and unreliability out of the equation for the price of a HomePod mini is a worthwhile expense to me. That said, it works great as a HomeKit hub. It's quick and wholly reliable. The next cheapest option is an Apple TV at $150, and you may not want/need an Apple TV. The HomePod mini can fulfill all of its purposes without any extra hardware beyond an iPhone, whereas the Apple TV requires a home theater system to shine. Of course, both exhibit the blessing and the curse that is Apple's "walled garden" of product interaction. Like many Apple accessories, you're either in or you're out... or you're just kinda in, but not really getting what the hoopla is about... The sound is not worth writing much about. Unlike the full-sized HomePod, this contains a single speaker. It doesn't fill a room, but rather, it reaches across a room. The default equalization is a little flat, but full enough for my tastes; more often than not, I'm simply playing a podcast on it while I'm in the kitchen (roughly where I've positioned the HomePod mini.) It's just acceptable. If it weren't for the HomeKit features, and this were just a smart speaker, I'd be rating it much lower because of its cost. Siri is somewhat quick to respond, and the microphones do a great job of picking up an ordinary speaking volume from a distance. Response time is much closer to that of the iPhone than that of, say, the Apple Watch, which always seems to take at least a few "moments". You can disable the microphones if you please, but to do so will disable Siri, eliminating a ton of the utility this thing offers. Physical buttons are minimal, relying on capacitive "up" and "down" inputs flanking the on/off/Siri button. A cool side note regarding interaction, you can use the NFC in your newer iPhone (any iPhone capable of Apple Pay) to wake the device up and immediately begin playing simply by bringing your iPhone right up next to it. I imagine this capability would extend to other Apple devices, such as the Apple Watch, but I haven't tried that out yet. I can't comment on how these sound when paired in a stereo configuration, but I don't imagine it would change much in terms of audio quality. The single tiny driver inside is only capable of so much. It performs well enough on its own in spite of its limitations, but it's not going to "wow" you -- that's what the full-sized HomePod is for. Overall, when you want to automate the HomeKit devices in your home, this is the cheapest way to do so. Including a decent smart speaker is just an added bonus.
