Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy set up and flawless everyway use. Good size to stow away from view if desired.

I recently purchased the Apple HomePod mini in blue but ended up returning it. On the positive side, the HomePod mini offers excellent sound performance. The audio quality is impressive for its size, and the device responds swiftly to commands, which I appreciated. However, the primary issue I encountered was with Apple's HomeKit ecosystem. Despite the HomePod mini's capabilities, I found that HomeKit compatibility is quite limited when it comes to integrating with a variety of wireless devices that I already own. This limitation significantly affected my experience, as I couldn't connect the HomePod mini to several of my smart home devices. For those deeply invested in Apple's ecosystem and looking for a speaker that integrates seamlessly with other Apple devices, the HomePod mini is a great choice. The sound quality and responsiveness alone make it a worthy consideration. Yet, it's important to be aware of the limitations regarding smart home integration. Apple has room for improvement in expanding the compatibility and functionality of their HomeKit ecosystem. Until then, the HomePod mini's utility as a smart home device might be limited for users with diverse smart home products.

It has very good sound id like to get a second one for surround sound

Significant improvement in Siri! Love the intercom feature and HomeKit integration. Also wonderful sound quality.

I was a bit skeptical about the sound and functionality with this since we have to regular homepods and knew the sound wouldn’t be the same. While the regular homepods have much better sound, the HomePod mini has an incredibly loud and high fidelity experience. I was so surprised at how awesome this sounded and how much bass it has for a speaker less than 4 inches high. I would continue to buy these fir every room in my house just by the sound quality alone

Sounds great for the size and price. Works seamlessly with the apple ecosystem. I use them to listen to music and for tv speakers. If you’re a fan of apple products and want a smart speaker then why haven’t you bought this product?

Excellent speaker with great features... Siri and music selection and Home app and intercom are all great features

The HomePod emphasizes sound quality more than smarts. It’s most useful to think of the HomePod primarily as a high-performance wireless speaker that is voice-controlled and to consider its “smart” features as secondary. Audio: Apple stuffed this device with loads of sophisticated audio components—seven tweeters, a high-excursion subwoofer, and six microphones—as well as, to make it all work, one of Apple’s own A8 chips, like those used in iPhones. The result is an excellent deep, rich audio that sounds fantastic. The speaker is easy to set up and effortless to use, as long as you're playing Apple Music. Smart features: You can’t make calls to phones or other HomePods or create calendar appointments, or make use of any of the 15,000-plus smart skills (like games, Uber or Lyft requests, pizza delivery, and more) that have powered the popularity of Alexa or Google Home platform.

Very easy to get up and running. Integrates perfectly with Apple's Home app. I've had no issues airplaying to this device and others at the same time. I really like the feature where you can send/receive audio from your phone by simply placing your phone on the homepod. Sound quality is excellent. Will probably buy a second one for the bedroom. One issue I've noticed so far is that a few times, the homepod will just start playing music.

2 of these as rears, paired with an AppleTV sounds pretty good for a piece mailed Surround system. White noise in bedroom. So many use cases at a good price point. Only wish it had 3.5mm input and removable cord and the the ability to toggle Tidal or Spotify as the default music service but that's supposedly on it's way. Also: Siri isn't as "good" Alexa or Google because Apple doesn't harvest and sell your data. I'll gladly trade off privacy for less "good"

The Apple HomePod mini is a great choice for Apple users looking for a compact and high-quality smart speaker. While it doesn't directly support Youtube Music, it integrates seamlessly with Apple's ecosystem, including youtube Music.

I really like my HomePod mini for its size it will easily fill an average sized bedroom loudly. Also, it responds fast and hears me very easily. Plus the blue color looks amazing and the white top doesn’t attract finger prints which keeps it looking nice. Siri does need improvement but for average requests it does great it’s only if you try and do multiple requests or something more complex that it struggles.

Has great sound and Bass for a small speaker. Perfect for a bedroom but does not perform well in open spaces.

The sound quality is impressive, great bass, seems to fill a very large space. Easy setup. Can play from desktop, 2 laptops, 2 iPhones. Siri integration is good, Homepod picks up voice commands from almost anywhere in the apartment. Use for music playback, control of smart lighting, kitchen timers, alarms. Happy with the purchase at a great price.

If you're invested in the Apple HomeKit and want a way to put Siri everywhere in your house, this is the way to do it. As with the original HomePod, mini's ability to pick up your voice even over its own music is exceptional. As a Siri listening device, this is amazing. As a speaker, if you want big sound in a small size and don't mind giving up some bass to get there, HomePod mini is a winner. It does produce a surprising amount of sound for as tiny as it is, and putting them in stereo pair makes it even more so. If you want the best overall audio quality, though, original HomePod is still the way to go.

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!

Not room thumping, but very good sound for such a small "orb". Setup was super easy. Hope the Intercom function works ok as that is my main need in our house. Gotta get the kiddos attention in the Bonus Room instead of yelling for all the neighborhood to hear. I can see jammin' to music in the Kitchen while cooking. Pretty darn nice for under $100 !! Happy camper so far....

Setting up the Apple HomePod mini is a breeze when using my Apple phone. It took seconds to get it connected to the WiFi and account and my favorite feature is being able to tap the top to transfer what is playing from my phone to the HomePod. The quality of sound and loudness is also par none.

Sounds really good, fun looks slick I have it set up with my Mac and it works well as a better desk speaker.

Great sound out of a little speaker. Set up was effortless. With Apple Music, I can just tell Siri to play a genre, like piano jazz or bossa nova and the room is filled with music. I also use it with Apple Home app to operate lights and thermostat just with my voice command. It is great.
