Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have really enjoyed this and will probably purchase others. I wish Apple offered a screen such as its competitors, but... Anyway, it offers good sound and I like the size and price of it.

Love this mini, great sound. I keep it in the bedroom. Good for alarm clock. I have added songs to my alarms and enjoy everyday listening

Great sound no it listens to me when I talk to it. Hey Siri! I like it. Super easy to put on music instantly. Just ask it to and tell it what type of music you want to hear.

I have been intrigued by this product since released, and frustrated with Apple's pricing practices and desire to be a "top tier" company by only offering high end high price products. This device always seemed a bit overpriced and unnecessary for me as I have a nice sound system connected to my TV, but I wanted something for Home Kit control. I like Apple's focus on encryption and privacy especially with the alway on always listening home controlling devices like this. I have apple Home Kit enabled devices in my house, and wanted a quick way for my pet sitter to turn them on and off when she comes in. I tried the Amazon dot last year, but found it difficult to setup and you need to have the always listening feature on. It also required setting up my already existing already working HomeKit enabled devices in the Alexa app which was hit and miss. I was waiting and hoping that Apple would release a cheaper version of this with less speaker and more control. Then Best Buy had this on holiday sale for 100 dollars off retail price. I figured it was worth a try knowing I had time to return it if it did not work. I set it up in seconds yesterday, and immediately transferred the podcast I was listening to on my phone to the speaker. I often wear headphones around the house and listen to music or podcasts throughout the day. This makes it easy to transfer what I am listening to via my phone airplay button and I can hear it clearly from anywhere in the downstairs. It sounds amazing and is so much easier to use to listen to anything on my phone. Yes you can use it without the Hey Siri feature listening. You can press and hold the center of the top panel which prompts Siri so I can turn off the "always listening" or if it does that annoying digital assistant thing where it mishears something I say that sounds vaguely like "Hey Siri" and becomes disruptive (This has not happened yet). I also like that in the Home app on my iPhone I can turn off the Home pod analytics which will not share my always on always listening recordings with Apple or anyone else. I wish the $200 price was not a promotion, but the retail price. After 1.5 days it has proven its worth and made me realize something I was overtly critical of and uninterested in is as good as I was sure it was not. I like being proven wrong. I am not sure I would pay $300 for it at full price, but if it keeps impressing me like this I might eat those words as well.

Great sound! I like that it can be paired with my iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. The only place I feel it falls short is being able to use it as a stereo pair with my 2018/2020 update Mac Mini (I can either use one or the other) unless I update my Mac to Big Sur which I am not ready to do yet.

Good size for our kitchen and doesn't take up much counterspace. Sleek design blends in. Sound quality is good although we mostly use it for background music. Overall happy with purchase aside from wishing the cost was a bit less.

The sound from this little bubble is impressive, and I imagine using two together would be as well. It’s pleasant to have as a quick way to ask Siri for favors. I’m very happy with this product. It is only 4 stars because a visual interface, or deeper control through the Home app, would make this a lot more useful. Also, setup was not plug and play for me, but you might have better luck. I had to troubleshoot and it took a solid 30 minutes or more before it got going.

This is my second HomePod mini and I am using it in a different room, not pairing the two together. The HomePod mini offers an impressive rich sound that will fill a room. The setup is super simple.

Great sound, and it works seemlessly with my other Apple devices. It is small enough to blend with its surroundings, too. Set up was a breeze…just place it near your iPhone and it’s done!

This was my second HomePod mini so to have stereo sound when playing music. As with anything Apple, easy set up, and the sound is excellent.

This device sets up very easy. Make sure you are on the latest version of iOS before you begin. The sound quality is by far better than others. Looks great as well not a plastic speaker. With air play I can use with any app, Pandora, Spotify and Apple TV. Siri seems to also respond well. The only ask I have for apple is to have Siri start my Apple TV if I ask for a movie. If you read other reviews that are dated prior to 2/9 I would ask you to report them as they were done prior to the release date. These are just haters who wish android had quality products like the HomePod. Again, great product for anyone who is an avid apple user.

I actually have multiple of these throughout my home. One in every room and a full size in my living room. Phenomenal device, amazing sound, and easy to use. Makes the perfect addition to my current ecosystem. Very happy.

Sounds great, but it could be a little louder for a space larger than a bathroom. I have two of them and they occasionally lag on the communication between them, or completely fail. I use it primarily for music.

I love this product, only giving 4 stars because with the first set of speaker the audio was skipping while playing music

I picked this Apple Home Pod Mini to analyze and test it for ease of use with Home theater system. I'm impressed with the performance. I haven't had any issues it looks and feels great and I 've used it to set up Apple home devices also. It has a USB cable to keep the unit plugged into power at all times. No battery level on this unit. Even are all the color choices to place one in every room as an intercom and such. I chose black to have all tech blacked out when movie led back lights are on, If you are on the fence about which Mac Mini compared to oter small speakers, don't lose anysleep on this one. It's worth the value.

It does not support apple ai I wish that the next generation HomePod could

Apple HomePod mini , great sound quality and great price

The HomePod delivers stunning audio clarity with deep bass and crisp highs that fill the entire room. Siri responds quickly, and the setup took just a few minutes with my iPhone. It connects effortlessly with all Apple devices and makes home automation a joy. Perfect for music lovers and anyone in the Apple ecosystem. Worth every penny!

The quality works great works right at the box. Easy to set up with new iPhone works great with Apple Music.

The setup was super easy. I got a pair for stereo sound and use with my Apple tv. I did had to exchange one 3 times because it wasn’t working consistently when through airplay. Hopefully Apple will have a fix for that soon!
