Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought the black one months ago. Loved it decided I needed a few more. White one is for my room. Enjoy using the intercom yelling for my teen was annoying. Combining the speakers is good too.

This is my second HomePods mini purchase. What a fantastic little sound machine, perfect for my office space. You can't beat the price tag either. I'm very pleased with the device and the great sound it produces.

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.

One of the best purchases so far. Would recommend. Good sound quality and ease of use.

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!!!

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.

Loved the user friendly connection! Allowing me to listen to my music, make calls, set alarms or reminders, and great sound was awesome.

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.

Great sound! Excellent volume very impressed! It’s works great with Apple Music. Siri is very knowledgeable! The mic on the home pod picks up everything in the room.

OMG I love these! I have the normal home pod and now have 3 of the minis around the house. I have the same music currently playing on all 3 levels of my home. They are quick and easy to set up. Takes less than 3 minutes.

Works very well. Trying to update the whole house to Apple (previously had Alexa devices) only complaint is that even if your in the other room and whispering, the HomePod will pick you up instead of your watch or phone a lot of times. Set up was very simple as well, much like most apple products.

Very happy with the HomePod mini, so much so that after buying my first, I bought 2 more. This one ended up in our bedroom. They sound great and the fact that they have AirPlay is a great. I highly recommend the HomePod mini.

If you use other Apple products then this is probably the best smart speaker for you. It is not always as "smart" as Amazon's Alexa or Google, but it is close. The integration with the Apple ecosystem is worth it. The sound quality is good but maybe a little light on bass.

This HomePod mini is everything I expected it to be. It works perfect with my iPhone 12. I only use it to play my music and the sounds when I sleep I don’t even have the volume all the way up. Definitely buying a second one.

Awesome little unit with great sound. Love the apple home products.

Love this, I can control my smart lights with this so it’s perfect! Siri is so helpful and I look forward to adding more HomeKit accessories. This is good if you’re an apple user with an iPhone, IPad and so on, that’s where you’ll get the most out of this.

Compared to the Echo Dot, the higher price is justified by the much better sound quality. I would give 5 stars except that the intercom feature isn't quite as useful as Echo's "Drop-In". If Apple upgrades the intercom to have full, two-way conversation capability, this would be the perfect product.

This would be amazing if it fully integrated to Spotify. As of right now, you have to airplay it? The handoff only works if you are using Apple Music..... which by the way I WILL NEVER USE!! For me, I would rather spend the extra money and get something that actually works with my chosen music platform
