Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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.

We wanted to ditch Amazon & remove Alexa from our house which meant switching to Home Assistant with Siri for voice control. We usually have Macbooks, iphones, apple watches or ipads around but for those times we dont, 2 HomePods have replaced the 10 Echo devices. With a single homepod on each level of the home were able to give voice commands from anywhere. These little things have a surprisingly big sound for their tiny form factor. Highs are crisp and lows are far fuller and more present than id expected. Theyre not going to rival our Sonos system but theyre a great entry level solution for multi room audio playback.

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.

Switchingoff alexas because the constatnyl badger me to but stuff. These homepods do a decent job bur they arent as powerful and leave some things to be desired for smarthome/automation. But they sound good and look nice.

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.

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.

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!

I bought 2. They sound great as a stereo pair for my TV. I wish I could use them as a regular Bluetooth speaker. That’s one thing the Beats Pill has over the HomePod family. Either way, a great product — just don’t expect it to be as smart as the other smart speakers out there. These are purely intended for people who want something that sounds good and integrates well with their ecosystem. Intercom feature is nice. Siri needs to get smarter.

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.

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.

We had Alexa running our whole house. And then Bezos started overstepping in really weird ways, and we wanted him out. And now he is. Apple keeps our data private. We like it that way. The voice recognition is far better than Alexa. The only issue that we have is that this runs on the Matter protocol, which means that we had to replace all of our light bulbs in our house because HomePod does not work on regular SmartThings protocol, and there is no way to get it to work. Matter, or nothing. Which sucks. But it was worth it to keep Bezos from monitoring everything that is happening in our house.

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.

Love the HomePod mini. We have 5 of them, in different rooms. Love that it also tells temperature and humidity in that room. In addition to playing music, I ask Siri daily "hey what is the temperature outside" and she's quick to let me know. We also use this (2 in tandem, actually) as the external speakers for our main TV, gives a surround sound experience.

Great Speaker, especially if you are already in the Apple ecosystem! Third HomePod speaker purchased in 5 years, this one for the kitchen. Love how I can have one playing or multiples to fill the whole house.

The mini home pod is very easy to set up, and there is the ability to pair multiples for stereo effect. I love itresponds easily to the Siri command.

Very good! Ofc coming from apple small and actually has better sound quality and has more features then the first one the big one! Would rec if you wanted a great speaker!

The homepod mini is fantastic if you're using apple's homekit as a home automation system. The sound is better than competitors in my opinion and has temperature and humidity sensors built in. The sound is clear and crisp when playing music and siri has improved a lot.
