Customer Ratings & Reviews

These speakers actually blew me away. They definitely are not the best on the market but they are really good. They are the best when you get more than one and use them as a stereo system.

I bought one of these to listen to music and use with my apple tv. It sounded great, nice bass and sounds better than my wireless bose. I just bought a second one and use them as a stereo pair and WOW they sound even better. Siri seems to be able to understand all my commands, even quiet commands from across the room. They are plenty loud enough for me and better yet with no distortion.

Great sound in such a small speaker and reasonable price! The size is super convenient as I can take it with me when I travel. I like it so much, I plan to buy more for around my home.

Never expected sound this good from something this small. I already have the full sized HomePod which to me has been great. The main pain points for any HomePod are if you're not really vested in the Apple ecosystem. If you are, like I am, then these are fantastic add-on products to build out enhanced sound and HomeKit devices. The sound from the mini is truly impressive for it's size. I know there are arguments regarding sounds and quality and value all day everywhere. Sound quality is subjective to the user. It's just the way it is. For me, this little guy fills out a corner or a desk with lows, mids, and highs. Very much worth the cost here.

I have two at home and when I want to clean or watch a movie I connect them Via Apple TV and it’s just perfect! I’ve seen videos of audio files nick pick at it but I mean it’s $100 each for what they offer if your in the Apple eco system it’s beyond perfect! I love the updates it gets connectivity ease of use it works for my every day light use they get decently loud two together of course. One is loud too but two, yea much better.

I am using two of these in a stereo pair for my apple tv 4k (1st generation) speakers. They are substantially better than probably all TV speakers in this configuration. I have never heard any dropouts or connection issues, and there is no lag. The midrange and treble is excellent and the soundstage is wide with the stereo configuration. There is some bass tones but not deep, low bass. Overall, very impressive for the small size. It is very nice to be able to change the TV volume directly on the units.

My family loves these. We also have HomePods in our basement. These minis were quick and easy to setup to a mesh system and paired them together, each on a different side of our living room. Absolutely no issues. Definitely sounds better with stereo pair than without. We can also have all HomePods and both mini play at the same time in different floors and rooms just by asking. Sounds far better than the echoes or shows we have from Amazon, even newer ones. We also use the automation so when we get home or unlock our door, music plays and lights come on. All easy to setup. Definitely glad we got them and plan on getting more.

Perfect mini speaker! Definitely worth the price! Honestly cheap for an Apple product. Can connect to tv and speaker simultaneously, has amazing sound, bass and very loud!

Purchased this as a gift for someone that doesn’t have one. I have multiple and love them. Great sound quality when playing music. Integrates with my compatible smart lights great

A tiny speaker with intelligent assistant and packs a mighty punch for its size. Competitors’ smart speakers such as Google and Alexa are good and equally capable but, to me, do not have nearly a refined crystal clear audio. Siri can be, as every smart assistant, a bit fickle with certain commands at time. Yet I find that this for now is a common feature of all intelligent speakers. I’m partial to the HomePod and its mini sibling because of my familiarity with each. I wouldn’t trade Apple devices for [fill in your favorite smart home companion’s brand] because it’s been overall a great device to use. 5 stars and 5 thumbs up!

When the HomePod came out I was a bit skeptical, especially at it's normal price point. But this is now my third that I have purchased. I bought this one for use in my guest bedroom. The other two are in the Master Bedroom and my office at work. Hands down, the sound quality cannot be beat by anything else in this size package. I was blown away by the quality. It's got enough volume for listening to music in almost any situation. It's perfect for a bedroom or office. For outdoor use or larger party environments there are some larger speakers from Sony I'd recommend... but for just wanting some great sounding music and the ease of saying "Hey Siri, play me some..." it can't be beat. Setup is the easiest of ANY smart speaker I've used IF you're in the Apple ecosystem. I have Google smart speakers and/or displays in every room room of my house and all my lighting is Philips Hue. The HomePod was by far the easiest to setup. And although Siri is not as "smart" as Google Assistant, the microphone quality on the HomePod is far better at catching commands from a distance, and I get far fewer errors with the HomePod. Often times my other smart speakers don't hear me without shouting, or they hear something different than what I said. The HomePod hears me every time and more accurately, even with music at a fairly loud volume, than any other smart speaker I've used. So although Siri can't do as much as Google Assistant, when I interact with my smart speakers in my home, I much prefer interacting with the HomePod. And setup was so much easier (if you're already an Apple user). I do plan on replacing all my other smart speakers in every room with HomePods when my budget permits me to do so.

Great price for what you're getting. I couldn't justify getting the larger HomePod and this is perfect. Small enough to not stand out but can still get pretty loud if you plan to use it as a speaker/intercom in your house. I've used Amazon Alexa previously and this is much nicer.

This smaller HomePod puts out excellent sound. I have not tried pairing two of them to enable the stereo sound. However one by itself in a room sounds amazing. With that being said it’s sound is not on the same level as the larger HomePod. If you want something you can crank up and have bass come from, then you’ll want the regular HomePod. I have two regular ones so I decided to get these in order to add to my Apple ecosystem and have more speakers throughout the house to play music from as I move about. Or have a way to control Apple enabled devices throughout my home, if my phone wasn’t nearby. Overall I would recommend this speaker.

Sound quality is good, but the volume level could be higher for open or large rooms. I was under the impression that you could stream the same music across multiple apple devices, such as listen to apple music on the HomePod and Apple TV at the same time, you can not. You can only listen on multiple HomePods. Love the feature of being able to intercom in the house and from outside the house. The ability use the same features as your phone without your phone in the room is extremely handy. My only real two complaint is that the cord is permanently attached, it would be nice to have the ability to lengthen the cord for optimum placement in the room and the ability to add an auxiliary cord so you could add it to a home theater amp.

Pretty awesome! I got two of them because I realized I was wasting money and just being frustrated trying to find two speakers that would connect seamlessly and consistently. These fit the bill, for me. Sound great, easy to set up, I now use Hey Siri way more often, and love how easy it is to stuff to my lists, and also get the answer to whatever random question I have at the moment. Initially there were some intra Apple equipment quarrels about which device would answer, but it’s gotten better. Wish they could work with the Apple HomePod the same way as the do with each other but understand the limitations.

Good product. Decent sound and interactive siri came with it. Thanks for bestbuy good for good deals!

Very easy to setup. Excellent sound quality for a device this size. Cannot use Spotify with your voice commands. But will play if you start it from your phone first. Hoping Apple and Spotify will get this issue resolved in a future update.

I love apple products and this one looked so cool and hen it launched that I had to have one and try it out... I was disappointed to see that it was not wireless. My kid is a wiz with Bluetooth speakers so I had her pair her device with the product. The music would stop when she would text people back, and I had trouble removing her paired device to sync my own device with it. Otherwise the sound was good, the design looks sleek and the size is convenient, but I would not recommend this product at this time.

The HomePod delivers an equisite sound. BestBuy had it at a reasonable price. I love the way it sounds. I am so happy with my purchase.

I love this speaker a lot. The Hey Siri detection is second to absolutely nothing thanks to those much-vaunted "beamforming" microphones, which also make phone calls nice and clear even if you're 30 feet away speaking at a normal volume. But most importantly, the sound is wonderful for its size and great for really anything. It's a punchy little speaker with outsize bass that handles anything you can throw at it. Like other reviewers have said, Apple did a great job of tuning this speaker to communicate the intent of anything it plays, so aggressive music will make you angry and calm, beautiful music will bring a tear to your eye. It goes extremely loud with no distortion and the "tunes itself to your surroundings" part of the sound is really everything it says it is. It sounds huge and fills up rooms if placed correctly and you'll really never get any "meh" sound out of it. However, you are essentially required to have Apple Music to get the most out of it, and not owning an iPhone will mean that you just bought a very nice piece of useless decor, as you won't even be able to set it up without an iOS device (sorry, Mac owners, you can only play to the speaker and control the queue once you've initialized it with an iOS device.) You can airplay to it using your phone if you're a Spotify kind of person, but it's a little lamer as you can't ask Siri to play music from Spotify or any other service. One last thing: I have had some glitches with it where it won't play music from the HomePod, it will only allow you to airplay and everything else acts like it's playing but immediately shut off. I contacted Apple and was immediately escalated past senior support up to what was basically the HomePod team, and my advisor told me that it was a known issue and it was being worked on, with a fix anticipated in the next update. Given that the next update is hotly anticipated (as it's going to include AirPlay 2 and multi-room sound as well as HomePod pairing), I can't wait. Other than that, not a bad word to say about this thing. I adore it in Space Grey, and smudge it in White. I've definitely gotten my money's worth!
