Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like the fact that this is small enough for places you can store it. The color is great too. Easy to set up with your iPhone. The one thing I would change would be bluetooth capability. It has a charging unit that has to be plugged in to operate.

I'm a bit disappointed with these speakers in that the bass leaves much to be desired. The medium to high range frequencies are pretty good, however. The HomePod Mini is by no means an audiophile product. Setup is quick and easy if you have Apple products, such as iPhone, iPad, or Macs. Besides controlling the speaker from an Apple device, one can merely tap the top of the speaker to control it. One caveat, however, is the need to learn the sequence of taps to control its various functions. That's not a problem if you use it this way often because those sequences will become second nature. If, however, one only uses the taps occasionally, one will want to keep a note nearby as reference. That being said, the speaker does respond to Siri commands too. For $99, it's a good deal. The build quality seems very good and is easy to use. I do wish Apple was currently offering a much better sounding speaker for audiophiles.

The functionality could be better when compared to the Amazon Echo Dot or the new Google speaker. It has a nice, simple look and the sound is excellent.

Big sound from a small speaker. Exceeded expectations on sound quality and volume. Good looking, and compact. Excited to get another to pair for stereo. I like using with Airplay to simultaneously stream music to my Mac, Apple TV, Vizio TV and Yamaha receiver all at once - works just like a Sonos system.

This is such a fun and great addition to your home. Quality is enough to think “Okay, okay Apple, I see you.” My recommendation is to put it in/near a corner, so you have sound echoing up and off the walls, and you’ll be a happy camper. The button is a little sensitive and will start playing its own radio if you’re not careful, but it does a great job of connection to your devices and being easy to “see”. I connect mine to my Apple TV and have several going through my home, and it’s awesome for chill music sessions during the day, and movie night is a blast.

Fantastic sound quality and easy setup. It’s a good value for the price. It sounds way better than my google home mini. Although google assistant is superior in some ways, Siri can actually hear you quite easily even while music is playing. I feel like I need to yell when speaking to the google home mini.

Sounds surprisingly good for something this small. If you’re in the “Apple Ecosystem” then I’d highly recommend. Being able to play music without tying up your phone is huge. We use it to play calming music for the dogs when we’re gone during the day. I plan on getting more. I do wish it was closer to $75 vs $100

Bought two, stereo paired. Sound is nice. Siri control of HomeKit devices handy. Intercom is cool. Handoff to and from iPhone works well. Appletv can use them as well. Just waiting for apple to upgrade as so I can use them as true surrounds with stereo paired HomePods to improve atmos experience.

GREAT ADDITION TO HOMEPOD ORIGINAL OR STANDALONE FOR SMALLER SPACES. I have two of these that I use as a supplement to my larger HomePod. Apple has a cool feature that allows you to set them up in stereo (designate a L/R mini pod to allow for true stereo playback and mated volume level). I also find it handy to have the touch controls located in a couple additional places via these, for example my larger home pod is closer to the entrance of the room where as the mini pods are located near seating locations (my desk and recliner). While these do cover the full range of highs and lows, the larger HomePod offers the thumpy bass if you’re looking for that. The mini’s speakers do a better than is to be expected job with lows, but even so it is obviously much less pronounced than the full size HomePod, which is why I opted to use two of them with the full size HomePod to create a powerful sound system combination. For office, dorm, smaller applications a single one of these should meet any demands.

The sound is excellent and looks good too! Nice bass for the size. Siri can hear you from another room and it can get pretty loud. Nothing earth-shattering but it can fill a small room to medium-sized room. The stereo pairing makes it sound even louder. Overall I am happy with them. Going to buy more.

Apple again at his best. Small compact speaker with seamless connectivity to apple devices. I love the sound and use it at my work desk for listening to podcasts and radio. Siri is available which gives you option to control the content. I use Pandora but i wish Apple would have given the support with Youtube as well. Faced connectivity issues couple of times thats why giving 4 stars.

First thing - dont buy this speaker if youre not bought into the Apple HomeKit and Siri ecosystem. If youre looking to control a smart home using a variety of devices and manufacturers then youll prob want to look at amazon or google until Matter (and to a lesser extent Thread) are more widely entrenched. If you simply want to play music from Apple Music on your iphone to a speaker and youre more than happy with siri then this is a great entry into the apple smart home. If you want a thread border router then this is also a great cheap entry. If youre looking for a simple stereo system for apple tv and willing to pay the apple tax then this is a reasonable entry for a small room. Have a bigger room? A homepod is prob better there.

Packs great sound for the size, and works seamlessly with iPhones once set up. Sounds great in any situation including tiny bathrooms where some speakers may be unusable. Personally ended up getting a couple to give away as gifts and to put around the apartment!

This little speaker packs a punch. The sound is clear, great bass, and volume can get loud. My only complain is pairing the speaker. First, you need pair it with the iPhone app and then you link it to the Apple TV at home. You cannot ask the Apple TV to search for wireless Bluetooth speakers without having those speakers linked to your Apple account. I also attempted to look for Bluetooth speakers using my smart TV feature, but the tv would not read the Apple speaker as available. The same thing happened with my Galaxy Note, when I searched for Bluetooth speakers, no luck either. This is not a Bluetooth speaker that you can directly pair it with any device. However, if you have any iPhone playing music, just put it close by and the speaker will auto-sync and start playing the music from your iPhone. No setting, no buttons to push, any iPhone just 2 inches or so away from the speaker, and that is all it takes for the speaker to play whatever music you had in your iPhone.

I'm very impressed with the HomePod mini. Although it is disappointing that the larger HomePod is no longer available from Apple, this device is very capable, with sound quality outperforming bluetooth speakers twice the size or larger. This is my first experience with AirPlay and with a HomeKit assistant, and I am impressed with the ease of setup and use. Audio quality is very important to me. This is by far the best quality sound I have ever heard out of a 3-inch speaker. That said, where this speaker lacks is in high-end clarity. Esses, cymbals, etc. are a little bit fuzzy. Frequency range is amazing, with bass clear and even all the way into the lowest tones. Spoken word is very clear. The overall character of the sound is even. As a stereo pair the sound quality is better than our $300 soundbar/subwoofer or our $500 bluetooth speaker from another brand.

Perfect on my desk. It has great sound and volume. I can touch my phone on it to continue playing and even use it as the speaker for my the MacBook Air. It also can tell you the temperature in the room.

Very responsive, shockingly good speaker, and surprisingly good microphone. Only downside of that is sometimes it takes over a query I ask my phone if it’s just barely able to hear me, and some questions can only be answered from iPhone, which I thought I was doing in the first place.

This speaker sounds pretty good. It won’t replace proper bookshelf speakers for music. It’s nice for background music or podcasts. It like the highly responsive “hey Siri” feature. I can control lights and my Apple TV with just my voice comments.

We have three HomePod minis in our home. The sound quality is great for for such a small speaker! The HomePod ps integrate well with the rest of our Apple devices. We can turn our Apple TV’s on or off with just a voice command. We can add items to our family shopping list, set an alarm or timer, add events to our calendars, and make calls or send text messages by just asking Siri. The homepods can recognize each person’s voice even in our home so they can send messages from the correct phone number or add events to the correct calendar. The intercom feature works great to make announcements to another room in the house rather than yell to somebody in another room. You can play music on every HomePod simultaneously so you can hear your music wherever you go in your house. Some of Siri’s answers to questions can be a bit off, and she sends answers to your phone more often that I would like, but overall I am very happy with our HomPod Minis.

The audio quality from the speaker itself is fantastic! Set-up was really easy, as expected. Apple even managed to do put in the cool display panel at the top of the unit. HomePod Mini plays really well if you live in an Apple world and that's about it unless your non-Apple device supports AirPlay 2. If you don't have an Apple device, don't bother looking at this one. I knocked a star off of my review for something that isn't the speaker's fault. I have Google Assistant devices scattered throughout the house and they work beautifully... there are a few things that Google still doesn't handle well, but I'd say that 90% of the time, the Google Assistant works perfectly, from doing quick searches to providing step-by-step instructions while cooking. I even had the Cortana Assistants in a couple rooms and it was perfectly functional 90% of the time as well. Siri on the otherhand is nowhere close to being as useful... try to do a web search, it will send it to your phone (unless I'm missing something), Siri doesn't appear to step by step instructions for recipes. There are a few other things that don't work quite the way they should... again, that's not a problem with the speaker and more how Siri works... it's not much better on the phone either... so nothing new.
