Customer Ratings & Reviews

We bought this with BBY reward points, as I was interested to learn the sound quality vs the Google Home Mini's we use at home. Firstly, it looks great. Secondly, the sound quality is amazing for a speaker that small. Thirdly, the sync with our Apple Music subscription is easy. The only problem this ex-pat family has is that unlike our Google Mini product, the HomePod Mini does to natively play the BBC radio stations from the UK - which is a major issue for us as we listen to them/have them on in the background a lot. Summary: Great product, but not yet perfect for ex-pats from the UK!

I had my doubts due to the size and the history apple has had with previous speaker items (beats, apple wired ear buds). But this was on sale and after watching apple reveal the HomePod. I must say it is everything they say it is. Sounds really good, super crisp with no speaker distortion, Great equalization and when you first turn it on to set up the HomePod it measures the sound to fit in the room that you’re going to be playing it in. Also Siri has had a major update with this HomePod system because I can be several feet away and she understands exactly what I ask her to do, if it’s changing the song, changing the volume, Siri is right on it. The HomePod is also great for the hub base along with my iPad. I loved this product so much I bought another one for my work studio and my fellow employees were instantly sold and both went out and bought one for each of there homes. The Apple HomePod is definitely worth every penny if you just want a great sounding stereo that’s even compact. Or a hub to run your smart home features off of this is the way to go.

I've had this for almost three months, and it's a great smart speaker. I was amazed at first by the sound quality and bass from such a small speaker. Apple's engineers know what they are doing. I had some hiccups at first with respect to the speaker not detecting my phone in the same wifi network when I would ask personal requests, but I suspect that may have been because of the subpar wifi router I had (or an OS bug). No regrets with this speaker.

Great sound from a small speaker. Great bass at low volumes. Perfect for my office. Easy setup with iPhone,

Great sound quality and ease of use with HomeKit devices. Like many other electronics (not just Apple), it's not always about the tech specs. Sound quality can be subjective; some like more bass, some like less. For me, where this shines, is how seamlessly it integrates with other HomeKit devices. I bought this to place in the kitchen where I'm able to listen to music while cooking, set timers and use the intercom to announce when dinner's ready.

I was kinda shocked on how well this device works . I love how small but powerful it is great for the kids ! I will say I was having a little trouble connecting my phone but once I updated my phone it was running smoothly! Not sure if that had anything to do with it or not . But overall it’s great for the price and a good gift to give !!

Small but still very loud and premium feeling speaker. Very great for the price point for a smart speaker.

This little speaker is very impressive and a fantastic addition to my home. It does lack some deeper bass notes, but for its size and the majority of my listening (podcasts and YouTube) it works very well. I have several of these throughout my home, with one even in my shower so I’m never without my podcasts! I am disappointed they’ve discontinued the larger HomePod, but the little guys are certainly no slouches, especially at their price.

Amazing sound from this tiny speaker. Easy setup and integrated into my other devices simply. The only draw back is it doesn't integrate with as many third party apps as Alexa. Thankfully most of my smart home setup is already integrated with Homekit anyway, and things like audible can be played using AirPlay. I also love how it recognize's my kids voices and will play music they want but it won't show up on my recently played, it shows up on theirs.

I am deaf in one ear so I bought this to use in my bedroom on my nightstand. It enables me to hear my TV without having to turn the volume up so high. It is a small speaker with great sound. I also find it useful to ask Siri to play music or ask what the weather is going to be that day without having to lift a finger. Great product and easy to set up with  TV!

I have other smart home devices, but have more Apple phones, iPad, etc.. Did I really need another device in my apartment?? I purchased the small device, had it delivered at work, and hooked it up at home. Best decision I ever made. Such a small speaker, but the sound has been perfect. Taping my iPhone to transfer music once I'm home has been very handy. I'll purchase a matching Homepod Mini in another week, to experience stereo sound.

For such a small device the volume gets decently loud. The microphone is excellent and can sometimes detect a “hey Siri” whisper in the same room. Voice recognition is good. Siri is responsive and fast. I previously had these paired to my AppleTV to work in stereo since my TVs speakers are bad. Worked well enough but not entirely seamless. If you want a smart speaker and very integrated in the Apple ecosystem this will be excellent for you.

Remains a standard setting for compact audio fidelity. Great mic pick-up too for voice commands. If/when Siri becomes more functional for advanced tasks, this hardware will be a great combo.

I’ve been slowly building my smart home over a few years. The last piece I needed was the voice command options that the HomePod brought. I wasn’t willing to pay 300 for a HomePod that would essentially just be used as an expensive Alexa. The HomePod mini is perfect. The small speaker packs a big punch. I can hear and be heard through the speaker anywhere in my apartment. I trust Apple with my always on microphones much more than Amazon or google.

Amazed by the sound quality. How much SIRI has improved. Also love the Gray Color matches APTs decor.

I have multiple HomePod Minis scattered through my home matched with Philips Hue lights and Lutron Caseta switches and now never have to manually switch on or off a light. I just say, Hey Siri, turn off the kitchen lights. The sound is BIG considering the small size of the speakers. I do have Sonos speakers also through the house, but the HomePod Mini produces such rich sound that I am happy playing them instead of the Sonos speakers.

Sounds great. Connects easily to iPhone. And doesn’t take up much space in my office

Easy set up. Small and compact. Great sound. Like how you can play Apple Music and smart home functions.

It's small but mighty. Easy to use to control our "smart home"

Believe the hype! This is a great product. Well-designed and high quality. Sound quality is great. I'm not an audiophile, but I will say that the sound coming the speaker is better than my little Bose (not a fair comparison since that one is portable, and the HomePod is not). I've also tested it out using Airplay from my Apple TV and this will provide a slightly deeper and more immersive sound if you place it next to, or behind, the listeners. I'm planning on getting another one eventually to even out the sound on the other side. Siri commands are picked up really well. And now with the last update (13.2.x) it can recognize your voice so that each member of your home can have personalized responses. My wife didn't think we needed one, but now she's hooked and uses it even more than me! So glad I took advantage of the black Friday deal. Looking forward to the next one.
