    Hey siri!

    Best virtual assistant if you’re an apple fan! I’ve had and tried amazons Alexa and googles Home and when I say that both of those were the worst that I’ve ever used I mean it! Both of them have a deaf fit where you can scream at the top of your lungs for them and they will never turn on but the video ur watching is at 2 volume and it says hey David and it goes off. The only good thing about both of those were the apps the user interface was nice and the customizability was really nice. But what good are those if the thing can’t hear you half the time. This HomePod not only is it loud the sound quality is beautiful but it can hear you ALWAYS you can whisper you can yell you can even be downstairs and it upstairs and it will HEAR YOU. It is extremely responsive to your questions to your demands to turning on and off smart devices. It is and should be the center of your home the base station because it works so well! And not only that but it is also very aesthetically pleasing it’s not terrible to look at whatsoever. It has nice features like if you have audio on your phone playing u can either just go to ur control center and put it on it, or my favorite way just walk up to it and hold ur phone above it and it connects instantly to your audio. I also really love how when you are playing audio on it and you get it’s attention it just lowers the audio while still playing it, it’s just a nice touch and seems seamless. It’s definitely the best virtual assistant around and should be your number one pick.

    A mind of it’s own...

    I had high hopes and was kind of let down. Don’t get me wrong, the speaker sounds great for its size! You can hear the base and the volume goes up extremely high. Siri stays on the entire time the speaker is plugged in... my problem is related to the connection to my phone. This speaker picks and chooses when it wants to connect to my phone. I have the latest iPhone, latest update, etc. this thing just has a mind of its own. To avoid me throwing it out of the window, sometimes I just have to unplug it for awhile and walk away. Despite this, I love how attentive Siri is no matter how far away you are and that Pandora can be used if you choose.

    As with most Apple products quality and ease of use is great. I find this smart speaker fits right into the Apple eco system. It has a good sound when playing music and Siri to automate functions around the house using the Apple Home app. Unlike it's larger version it comes in a verity of colors to match your homes decor.

    Amazing sound for such a little speaker

    Okay we bought two of these little speakers. Let me tell you about the sound. Amazing! Our two daughters love these things. They sound so good for the size. I couldn’t believe my ears. They don’t distort when you turn them up. Oh man can they get loud. You would think that something this small couldn’t produce such crazy loud sound but it does. Now if you’re looking for crazy base, of course these are not the ones. What I can say is that I love the true detailed sound that these speakers produce. Very clear, clean and loud sound. I love them and will be going back to buy more for the other rooms in the house.

    AppleTv Must Be On Wifi

    Great speakers for AppleTv. Using them in a bedroom and they work great. They aren’t room shakers but they are very clear and deliver more than you would think them capable of. Especially for the price. Only note I would give is apparently they only work as a pair if your AppleTv is connected to the wifi. I previously had mine hardwired but they would not connect right until i switch to wifi and they instantly worked

    When they said this was a mini HomePod, they truly meant a MINI! It’s so small but packs a lot of power. Small, compact, super easy to program and the audio gets pretty loud for the size. The only complaint is the fact it is wired.

    Love the HomePod mini. Set up was very simple, sound is good and size is perfect. Very disappointed in how Best Buy packaged it in a large box with absolutely no padding or protection so it can just bounce around. Luckily it was ok.

    HomePod Mini The HomePod mini is a decent item. The sound is cool for the size. I like the ability to hand off music from the iPhone to the HomePod. The Siri feature isn’t that great, though. I feel that Siri on the HomePod mini is limited and can’t do most thing that Siri can do on the iPhone. BestBuy As far as gettin the item from BestBuy, I originally bought a white one in early December as open box in “excellent” condition but the device came with a very strong perfume or, believe it or not, Raid smell. I know Raid sounds weird but it reminded me of that smell; very chemically or fabricated. I was disappointed that the item came that way being that it was listed as excellent. That wasn’t excellent at all. I ended up exchanging it a month later when new HomePod minis were available.

    HomePod mini is wonderful

    The HomePod mini gets the job done even though it doesn't have heavy bass, the sound is very clean and pleasant. It's easy to pair with the iPhone and stream with any music app. The sound goes out in 360 degree direction which encompasses evenly across the room or living space. I don't have to worry about turning it on because it's ready to play audio anytime I need to stream to it. It's a great small speaker for the price that replaced my older speakers that were cheaper and had distorted bass. It's perfect for an apartment, small room or dorm setting for a clean sound.

    I have purchased two Home Pod minis from Best Buy. Overall, very happy with the product. The Home Pod mini works very well with my iPhone, which is the primary device I use. The Home Pod mini can function on its own as it were. It will just play songs in a certain genre independent of what is playing on your iphone. Two Home Pod minis can work together with your iphone. This can be very convenient. What disappointed me is that two Home Pod minis cannot serve with your laptop. I don't know why Apple could not get this to work. I think there is some sort of a fix, but it is not intuitive.

    Fantastic Smart Speaker

    This little speaker has fantastic sound! I am using it in the master bathroom. Even at a lower volume setting the sound fills the space. I can hear the music even while in the shower. It's very simple to use. I held my iPhone next to it and the setup was automatic. Since I have Apple Music subscription it plays whatever I tell it to play. Also, if I walk into the bathroom with my iPhone already playing something, such as music or audiobook, I just hold the phone above this speaker and the content transfers to the speaker and start playing there. Very satisfied. I order more for the house.

    BIG sound from a SMALL speaker

    I got this for my dad for Christmas. He absolutely loves it. This speaker is tiny and lightweight but for the size it sounds amazing. Vocals are clear and crisp. Bass is decent, it’s tight and punchy. It’s not going to blow you away with bass, but it does enough to make the music sound great. Even at its highest sound level this speaker does not distort. Siri works like what you would expect it to from Siri. This is more for sound then it is for its smart home capability. Overall my dad was really happy and I was also satisfied with it myself. Good speaker for $99 and amazing sound for the size.

    Excellent sound quality and volume especially considering how small it is. Siri commands work just as well as on iPhone. My only complaint is more Apple wide, which is the deliberate lack of interoperability with anything non Apple (including bluetooth). So, no, it is not a bluetooth speaker. No, it will not work with Android. No, there are no ports. No, it is not rechargeable/have batteries. Yes, it is a Homekit hub and also can control Matter devices natively. Yes, it supports 5g wi-fi signals n band only.

    Cannot believe the sound coming out of this thing. It is so small but the bigness of the sound is AMAZING! Wish Apple would make something like Google Nest devices that have a screen so you could manage your Apple Home automations. We can dream, can't we?
