Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this for my kids. We had echo dots, but I couldn’t set it up to only allow music 24/7. The home pods have the same parental controls/downtime I have for their iPads/iPhone so it will allow them to go to bed with music but not allow any other features at downtime.

Extremely EASY to set up and to use! Very powerful with great volume. Will respond if you are in a different room and even upstairs. It is totally hands free. I have used three other products similar to this one and the HomePod Mini is by far the best!

Using a set of these as in house intercoms. And the color is nice and easy to spot. Playing music is only an okay experience, but I didn't expect earth shattering bass in a package this small so not taking an egg off.

Sound quality is impressive out of such a small speaker. And to have Siri available and on standby makes the functionality perfect!

Great sound and easy setup. Being that it works as a hub and I'm fully into the Apple ecosystem, this is great.

Awesome little speakers! I bought one and fell in love. The audio quality and Apple's ease of use are very impressive. I enjoyed it so much I purchased another one. They are great to place throughout the house.

I choose to buy this as a replacement for the speakers I bought only 8 months ago, for my desk with dual monitors for a MacBook. Set up was super easy, Doesn't take up a lot of space. Also surprisedly loud and good sound

Great product. Packaging was in good shape. Product worked well and fulfilled what I needed it to do. Easy to set up with iPhone and HomeApp. Would recommend to others.

I preordered an Apple HomePod from Best Buy. Picked it up on Friday after work. Early Saturday morning I was at Best Buy buying a second one before they sold out. Yes, the sound was really that good! I own a number of Amazon echo devices including several Echo Show and several Google Home devices. Alexa and Hey Google outperform Siri. But if you’re buying this for sound, nothing even comes close. The sharp, clear high frequencies because of the seven tweeters which are computer controlled cannot be duplicated by any other device on the market today. I do not subscribe to Apple Music. I listen to SiriusXM through my computer using iTunes, and distribute it to these HomePod speakers wirelessly, using the Apple lossless wireless system. That gives an additional benefit of being able to adjust equalization through iTunes. The resulting sound is phenomenal! Please note that after purchasing these two HomePod speakers, Apple updated the firmware. They still do not have stereo capability, but they reduced the bass because a number of people thought there was too much bass! I thought it was perfect before, so I simply bumped up the equalization through iTunes and I’m back to where it was before. Don’t even worry about the stereo consideration. Each speaker fills the room and sounds so multidimensional, you will think you have surround sound from HomePod. Crisp in your face audio in every area of your room! Highest Recommendation!!

I bought this to replace a first generation HomePod that was in the kitchen. Given that HomePods are selling at twice their original price on eBay and I only used it while cooking, it made sense to me to sell and replace it with a mini. We're deeply in the Apple and Siri eco-system, so it helps with cooking timers, turning stuff on/off, and listening to music and podcasts. So why just 4 stars? The first generation HomePod's sound is just really hard to beat. The mini sounds tinny and shallow, but I'm also an audiophile with a collection of speakers, hifi components, and more headphones than people probably should have, so take my opinion on the sound with a grain of salt. We do have two minis in the main bedroom and when paired together for stereo, you can get close to the sound of a single HomePod. Ultimately, if you need something to just provide background music while doing chores in a single space, the mini fills that need and at $100, it's a good value.

Purchased 2 of these for my office and the sound is surprising for how small they are. Integrates perfectly with my apple devices.

Works great with the rest of my apple products and home ecosystem and surprisingly loud for a compact speaker. Am using it in the master bath and have one in the master bedroom as well; high wife approval factor.

PERFECT for what we needed in my kitchen!!!!!!!!!!

The perfect price point for an excellent-sounding smart speaker. We have a few of these, for ambient music, Siri support for shopping lists etc. Kids enjoy using them as well :)

I went from Amazon Alexa to Apple Siri. I much prefer HomePod due to the fact of all my Apple devices being connected. I love the way the Apple ecosystem works and HomePod fits right in. Not to mention the better sound quality of my HomePod mini in comparison to my Echo Dot. I also found that the HomePod has more useful features than my Alexa did. I know you can set up Alexa so that it has the ability to make and receive phone calls but I never could figure it out. With HomePod it was a breeze and makes life much easier when at my office desk doing work. HomePod and Alexa are nearly identical and I wouldn’t recommend making the switch from Alexa to HomePod but I would recommend purchasing a HomePod over and Alexa if your a first time buyer and if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem.

The HomePod mini works the same as the original HomePod but is much smaller! The sound is powerful. The orange adds a cool pop of color and looks great in any home setting

Apple is known for making really well engineered and quality products, not always very cost effective but very very good quality. The HomePod is an exception to that case. It’s a really quality product and it’s actually priced really well. I’m super happy with her and I love the ability to hand off my phone calls to one seamlessly. End it does a great job of recognizing me and my girlfriends voices and keeping our preference is separate and calendars and everything. I hope they continue to expand the offering, it would be nice to see a bit larger speaker. I’ve got several of them all over the house now and they pair really well in stereo and they sound fine when it’s just one. I am well pleased. Coupled with Apple Music it’s a pretty great home whole home audio solution.

I bought this to replace an old Echo Dot and I love it so much more. It’s so easy to play music right from my phone and I quickly bought a second one and made a stereo pair. They sound great!

Very convenient easy to use and amazing sound if you like to clean your house on the weekends this is the tool for you

For this being this small the sound is amazing, I was a little hesitant when deciding to get this along with my new Apple TV but it’s amazing and highly recommended it, plus it doesn’t create a dust right like the original HomePod
