Customer Ratings & Reviews

The HomePod mini delivers impressive sound quality for its size, truly packing a punch. While it’s not quite as powerful as the regular HomePod, it still offers a rich audio experience. Having it in your room, or pairing two for a stereo setup, creates a cozy, home theater vibe that’s perfect for an apartment.

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.

Small but mighty this thing sounds great and perfect for listening to music while cooking in the kitchen.

Apple never ceases to amaze me! Wish I had had this years ago, very very easy to set up, and works perfectly! 65 years old, been a musician all my life, and for the past 30 years running my own studio, I know what sounds good and what doesn't sound good, and I am totally blown away at how good the sound is coming from this little ball, absolutely amazing sound quality, and I can control every light, thermostat, pretty much everything in the house with my voice. Just bought another one to go upstairs, very highly recommend!

I purchased this with the idea that it would act as alarm clock for me when I decided to take all other electronics out of my bedroom at night. Like anything Apple branded it off course works seamlessly with your iPhone so Siri works great and the “handoff” feature of placing your phone on top of the speaker and then whatever you’re playing starts playing on the speaker also works great. Sound is also surprisingly good for such a small speaker. However, if you’re like me and want to use it as an alarm clock of sorts I would recommend against it. Annoyingly, you can tell Siri to set an alarm and it will, but if I happen to wake up early and want to cancel the alarm, I would have to start talking to Siri and ask to turn the alarm off. No problem if you’re single but if you’ve got someone sleeping next to you then you’re having a conversation that will inevitably wake them up. There’s no way of getting to your iPhone and turning the alarm off on the HomePod specifically. Because of that, I went with Amazon Alexa echo spot which has a digital clock and weather display, Alexa voice recognition to turn an alarm on and the ability to turn the alarm off directly on the unit to or my phone - and it’s $50 cheaper.

I love my HomePod mini I replaced my Alexa for this and I love it ! It connects to my phone with no issues

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.

The homepod is easy to control and plays everything my phone can and also works for kirchen cooking stuff with timers and recipe measurements and stuff like that. Good sound. Price was very cheap as well. Will be getting another soon.

These are great little speakers. Good sound, good volume, work without any annoying setup.

So far so good. It’s perfect for my kitchen. Sound is good, and loud enough for me in the kitchen. It connected to my smart outlets, and switches with ease. It was easy to set up my kitchen with my TP link Tapo. I did try it in my shop and compared it to my JBL Charge 5 I have out there. It’s no where near loud enough for that, at full volume it’s about half as loud as the Charge 5. I was hoping that I could use one out there as connecting and playing music is easier than the Charge 5. I’m not sure if I want to spend the money to see if the regular one might do better for that.

Love the HomePod mini. I got it as a gift for my mom. Easy to use and sound is great for its size! I think it’s pretty loud no complaints on volume. Bluetooth is connectivity is smooth and Siri is pretty responsive. I just apple would allow connectivity to Spotify.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the first-generation HomePod, and let me tell you, it was an absolute auditory delight! The sound quality was mind-blowing, immersing me in a world of rich, vibrant music like never before. Siri's voice recognition was spot-on, effortlessly following my every command. The sleek design added a touch of elegance to my living space, making it a centerpiece that garnered compliments from all who entered. If you're in search of a smart speaker that truly raises the bar, look no further than the HomePod. It's a five-star experience that will leave you craving more.

Hey. Hey... Surprisingly good sound for what it is…particularly good for room to room intercom…very nice with a little bit of a learning curve for home use features. But as an audio music source pretty great

Already had one HomePod Mini but wanted the newer orange one. Love the sound quality and how easy the setup is. Have a stereo set paired to my Apple TV and it works flawlessly.

This is a great little speaker/smart device. Really good sound for such a small footprint. With Siri and Apple HomeKit integrated, it makes for a convenient voice-controlled home. If you use Apple products, everything is connected so you can easily set reminders, add calendar events, check the weather and news, and play music by voice. If you get two, you can set them up as a stereo pair for a well-rounded sound experience.

Great speakers! I bought two of them and use them in my bedroom in Stereo. Set up is a breeze, and my Apple TV pocked them up easily. Only downfall, is that if you listen to music at night, make sure you disconnect them from your Apple TV as it will cause issues.

Incredible sound from such a small device. Looks nice and is super easy to set up. Siri works well, seems to hear and understand what your saying even with music playing. We are using it in our kitchen and are thinking of purchasing another for other rooms.

Overall, a good product. The sound is noticeably better than what I’ve experienced of the less expensive Google and Alexa speakers. The design is great, as to be expected with Apple products. However, also to be expected with some Apple products, I feel the price is a little high for what you get. Sometimes Siri can be a little air-headed, but that’s not a problem with this product so much as with Siri, of course. On the other side of the tech fence, Amazon and Google seem to have the edge regarding the competence of their assistants. For example, I never had a problem with my Google Home speaker detecting which device I was talking to—an occasional problem with the Home Pod Mini. If you’re married to the Apple ecosystem, this is what I would recommend, hands down, although it may be one of the few choices you have for what it does. If you don’t care about Apple’s ecosystem, I might recommend trying one of the other ones until Apple catches up. As for me, I’m into Apple, so this is the best choice for me and a pleasant one overall.

Set up multiple HomePod Mini speakers for music throughout the house, all controlled by voice or phone. The speakers were relatively easy to set up, and they can be placed out of the way, either hidden or visible.
