Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have one in every riom in my house!! Works seamlessly with my Apple ecosystem. Easy set up. Big sound. Perfect for my smart home

I got it for under 50 dollars from the exellent refurbished option, and it came out flawless, the only complaint that i have is it does get slightly annoying when your phone is tryng to constantly connect, and it does sound really balanced, but i like bass to be punchy, which is slightly lacking ( EQ might help).

Siri was always very helpful, from shortcuts to just telling me the weather in the morning I always found Siri helpful. Siri just got an upgrade. My new HomePod mini (in white) looks nicer and doesn’t stand out as much as my old black Amazon Alexa. I mostly use my HomePod to control lights, play music, and sleep sounds at night. Siri does all this very well. In terms of other capabilities, Siri can’t play games unless you program a shortcut (which takes a long time) but seeing as I didn’t use that feature much, I’m not upset. The sound that comes out of this little speaker is amazing. I can turn it all the way up in my bedroom and still hear it cooking in the kitchen. It is my only HomePod, so I don’t use the intercom feature and can’t comment on that. The compatibility with non-apple apps is alright. You can’t set Spotify as your default app but you can hold your phone close to the HomePod while playing music on Spotify and have the sound switch over, and you can play by using share play on your phone. None of it takes too much effort and it’s cheaper than paying for Apple Music every month. Overall, I’m more than satisfied with this purchase. It’s a quality speaker at a decent price (for apple at least) and it comes through.

I recently purchased the Apple HomePod mini from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! The setup was incredibly easy and seamless with my existing Apple devices. The sound quality is fantastic for such a small device—rich bass, clear vocals, and it fills the room effortlessly. Siri integration is top-notch, allowing me to control my smart home devices, play music, and even get weather updates with just my voice. The design is sleek and compact, making it perfect for any space. If you're in the market for a smart speaker, the HomePod mini is a fantastic choice!

It is easy to set-up. It is amazingly small for it’s sound out put and sound quality. I have found the HomePod mini to be very useful. I especially when I use it with one of the home hub electrical plugs. I have found The look of the home pod mini to be pleasing yet unobtrusive. Thinking about giving a home pod mini as a gift for an upcoming birthday day present.

Apple homepods mini delivers good sound and quality is there. Great for users with Apple devices in home already. It doesn’t compare to the original homepods which can find on sale for $200. As for the $100 price on the mini I think is alittle much because there are so many other smart speakers about the same size that are cheaper. Apple needs to step their game up and have more smart devices that are HomeKit compatible. Idk if it’s a quality control thing or not but I am an Apple user for the most part but a lot of my devices like light bulbs and security cameras aren’t HomeKit compatible so I can’t use that app to consolidate all my devices to one app. So end up having google for thermastat and internet, Alexa echo 5 and old dot which use for ring doorbell and blink camera. So to be honest unless u don’t like the size of original homepod and u are an Apple house then maybe consider this. Sound quality is pretty descent. It doesn’t get too loud or have deep bass like the big homepods. Hey Siri seems to pick up my voice within the room but original homepod definitely did a way better job with that and everything else. I do have to say I love sound quality of the apple homepods they are very clear and hear nice crisp sounds that normal are drowned out or unnoticeable. I have in the bedroom 2 original homepods grouped together for stereo sound on ether side of beds nightstand and have mini homepod on opposite side of room by wall in center of room and I play music on all three at same time. I like that I’m able to adjust the sound level individually between them while all are playing the same source. With homepods grouped u can only control volume as if they were one. If unpair them from each other then u can set their volume separately which is nice because I can tune the volume of all 3 to make it feel like I’m in the center between them when I’m really laying on bed close to 1 of big homepods.

very happy with these, we have several for multi room music. with proper placement depending on the size of the room it is in these sound great. Additionally you can pair 2 for stereo in any given room. setup is quick and easy and if your home/ environment is mainly an apple eco system, every thing just works together. My favorite feature is the voice recognition so I can just tell it to play my playlist of choice, and it does and My wife can tell another to play her playlist of choice and it does... we have separate apple IDs/ accounts and some differing tastes in music, or we can choose to play something on all of them throughout the house.

I purchased the HomePod mini to pair with my iPod and Mac mini to have wireless sound for both devices in my office. The HomePod mini is impressive with the ease of connecting any Apple device. Overall, the sound quality is exceptional, particularly bass response, from such a small sound device. I plan to purchase a second one and create a stereo pair.

Great speaker for the price and size.I was skeptical about a speaker this small sounding good and being able to fill a room with sound. We have an open concept home (living room, dining room and kitchen all one big space) and this speaker easily fills this space. Easy connectivity and easy to interface with. Would definitely recommend!

I love the Apple home pod. Design is very aesthetic. Very easy to setup and use when you have an apple device. Sound is awesome. I have 6 throughout the house and music plays Simultaneously with no delay. Best Investment ever. I use them to control lights, provide whole house sound system and intercom system.

It has decent-quality sound, considering its size. I have a pair set up as a stereo for my TV, and the sound is good for my taste. It works seamlessly with Apple TV.

These are great to place in rooms for surprisinglly good sound. Economical enough to use on mutiple roooms. Siri enables voice control of lights, etc. A nice feature for larger homes, is the intercom feature, cor instance you can talk to kids in the bonus room, I prefer apple because they proyect your data and privacy. This is a big deal, because data brokers will pay high dollar for personal information. With Apple, your data is encryted end to end, and kept local. Apple does not share your data without your permission. I have home kit setup with nanoleafe ligjts. Anyone can enter a room and turn the lights on with voice commands. This is available from other vendors, such as google snd Amazon, however your data is their produd to use and share. With this speaker, you dont need to sacrifice your privacy for features.

If you were looking for deep, rich bass and booming sound, that will fill a room, don’t go with us and spend the extra money for the big HomePod second generation. I got one of these as a gift a couple of Christmases ago and wanted to get another one to put on my wife’s nightstand. After getting them paired up, I will say that the stereo pair matching makes for a better movie watching experience, then just listening out of one HomePod mini. Of course, they will only work with Apple TV 4K‘s and above and don’t expect much out of the Siri assistant. Siri sucks! These things are constantly losing connection to the net work , and if you try to make Siri request, you’re more apt to yank the thing off your dresser or table and just check it across the wall. If you want to play your Apple Music go right ahead stream YouTube or Netflix go right ahead because that is what it is mainly going to be good for listening to music and not much else. They are very small , don’t take up too much room and are a good choice. If you want to get some quality sound on the cheap..

Love it great sound small package pair well with iOS home system

I was skeptical at first because of its size, but the sound is really good. Siri functions are prompt and of course works well with my Home Kit devices. I like that fact that they are somewhat affordable and you can play music and conduct Siri functions throughout the house. Haven't used the intercom function but, that a nice plus

The HomePod mini sounds great! I bought two to put in a stereo pair and they sound amazing! The only problem is that with certain internet modems they can have issues. I previously had spectrum but when I switched to AT&T all my issues went away. They are extremely easy to setup and look modern so they blend in almost anywhere.

We love our HomePod Minis. We have two old large HomePods, but they don’t work with a lot our smart devices. I originally bought one to sync with our smart doorlock and thermostat in our office because they were so far away from our Apple TV. We would loose the signal to our devices. But both the wife and i loved the sound so much, we decided to buy another to replace our Sonos 1’s in the office. The next two are now in our garage and once again replacing the Sonos 1’s because of their size and because they help sync our smart garage door and smart deadbolt with our HomeKit system. Now are they truly better than our old Sonos 1’s, not in sound quality. But HomePod Minis are very close, yet it is their size, smarts and connectivity is the big reason we replaced our Sonos 1’s.

The HomePod seems to still fly under the radar for smart speakers. People always ask about them at my house and most have never seen or heard the HomePod before. A lot of people also don’t know about HomeKit and Siri built into it. However, they are always impressed by the sound and quality of the HomePod. I purchased a HomePod from Best Buy to make a stereo pair with on I already had. With the price reduction of $199 on sale which Best Buy has run every few weeks like clock work, the HomePod is more affordable than ever and is a must buy at its current reduced prices. AUDIO FEATURES While one HomePod sounds great, a stereo pair is where this speaker really shines. The soundstage is large and the audio is warm and balanced. Music has rich, deep bass accompanied by crisp, smooth highs and a balanced midrange. Out of the box, the eq settings are perfect and the microphone placements inside analyze the surrounding environment in which they are placed to automatically adjust the EQ of the speaker. As you move it throughout the house, it shines in an open setting or against a wall where it will pump out loud and clear sound without clipping. With a stereo pair (you can pair them in the Home app), the music is then sent as LEFT and RIGHT channels and the quality is unparalleled. You can even pair them with Apple TV for amazing home theatre quality mimicking surround sound or soundbar setup. Music and TV audio will fill the room perfectly. They are plenty loud in any placement and they sound just as good at a higher volume without distortion. You can also handoff audio playing on your iPhone by simply holding your iPhone next to the device. Your iphones audio will seamlessly transfer to your HomePod without interruption. You can then hold your phone next to the HomePod to have the audio transferred back to your iPhone. You can also stream any airplay capable audio to the speakers from your MacBook or other apple device by selecting the HomePod in the airplay drop down menu. SMART FEATURES The HomePod features a touchscreen on the top of the speaker that recognizes certain gestures like the Echo or Google Home devices. The HomePod has no physical buttons, but illuminated to reveal a volume up and down touchpad and a singular circle touchpad in between them that you can tap to pause, play, and skip songs. You can also accept or reject phone calls on the HomePod and utilize the HomePod to talk on the phone. The microphone quality is great - on the phone you come across extremely clear and “Hey Siri” is almost always recognized in any part of the room you say it. Of all my smart devices, this one recognizes my voice more than any other device and I don’t have to yell or repeat myself to get it to recognize me. The HomePod is integration of Siri is where the speaker leaves a lot to be desired. You can use the Siri function just as you would on your phone. You can set alarms, send texts, make calls, ask it to play music, and ask some basic questions such as metric conversions or “Who is Nicholas Cage”. If you’ve used Siri, you’ll know that it is an AI far behind Alexa and Hey Google. Complicated questions confuse it and it often can’t answer simple questions that Alexa and Google are able to answer. Apple is constantly improving Siri, but I use my Google Nest Hub far more for my everyday questions. If you are a HomeKit user, you can control your smart home with the HomePod. HomeKit, however, has far fewer applications where it useful and it is still pretty bare bones in comparison with its counterparts. For my smart home functions Philips Hue, ecobee, SimpliSafe etc, I prefer to use my google home and Alexa. The functions of HomeKit are limited and until it gets better, it is much easier to use another AI for controlling my home. Even though Apple is serious about its smart home integration with the HomePod, it just isn’t useful yet. So if you’re looking primarily for a smart device, choose something else. CONCLUSION For most people that buy the HomePod are aware of this and they buy it for it’s best quality, its speaker. It is far better than any other speaker in my house, and head to head with the Home Max and Echo Studio, it is miles above them with unparalleled sound quality. For the price, it is the best speaker you can buy and you won’t regret the absolutely amazing sound quality. As a stereo pair, it is much better than some of the top speaker brands at a fraction of the cost. Siri is great for asking it to my shuffle my playlists or play certain albums and the hands free nature of being able to ask for music is great. The design is beautiful - the minimalist look fits well in any space and the cloth covering is much more appealing than plastic or other alternatives that many speakers use. It is very much a signature Apple device that is still underrated. If you are looking for incredible sound in a small and reasonably priced device, you cannot get any better than the HomePod.

Easy setup, good sound. Siri can hear you from pretty far away, and it’s nice to be able to play the same music all through the house when you have more than one.

This speaker is amazing. Sound quailty is great. Its not wireless but it is 100% worth having. I love it
