I'm an Apple fanboy, yet there's one issue I have with this amazing smart speaker. For sound, it's top notch and better than any other smart speaker out there, IMO. The bass punches and the clarity is spectacular. If you buy two of these and make a stereo pair, expect to be amazed. This speaker is a no brainer for Apple people and if you're patient, it usually goes on sale at BB every few months where you can snag it for $199. When this happens, snatch the babies up. Now for my one main issue, and it has nothing to do with quality of sound. I wish so badly that there were an Apple speaker that had an HDMI ARC port and could hook it up to your tv. This way you could have true surround sound with these speakers much like the way Sonos works. I only have one of these Homepods due to this reason and I have way more Sonos speakers around the crib. Each of my flat screen tv's have a Sonos Beam synced up with two Sonos One SL's. They're sound is good but if I had the option to replace this setup with Homepods, I would in a freaking heartbeat. Maybe it's good that I can't cause that would destroy my wallet trying to replace the One SL's with Homepods. But who knows, maybe if a miracle happened and Sonos and Apple had a collab... haha and we're all going back to our normal lives within a week (cough, Corona virus). I would give these Homepods 5 stars and beyond if I could set them up as surround speakers for a TV but that just ain't where we're at. If you do have an Apple 4K TV you can go into your video and audio settings and set the Homepods as the audio source but it's a pain to have to do that each time you turn on the device. Not worth it in my opinion. Anyway, if you plan on using the Homepod strictly for music then you're definitely getting your money's worth.

For such a small speaker the sound quality is surprisingly good! Of course, it cannot match the full range of the original Homepods which paired have replaced my conventional stereo system. I use the Homepod mini placed near my chair in the den to augment the speakers of the Sony tv; I find that the Homepod mini makes dialog clearer and crisper. My only reservation (which explains the loss of a star) is that while the volume is easily adjustable by the remote or voice command the Homepod does not respond to the mute button on the Apple TV which has now replaced cable. I have tried numerous settings but to no avail. Otherwise, the Homepod mini functions flawlessly.

Sounds great! Siri is still Siri but it's a well-manufactured device that feels great to the touch and sounds fantastic. I recommend the white for its lack of fingerprinting on the glossy touch surface.

Volume: good enough for assistance on the kitchen or small home office Only support one language at the time (Alexa support two at the same time) No aux input No earphones input Basic is big Siri I was using on my home office but I decided to give to my wife(she was using Bluetooth recharge speaker) So now she love this Siri speak for asking some recipes and timer plus leasing her favorite show. If you have some podcast on you iPhone or some music just come close to and transfer to this Siri speaker easy easy, same for calls.

Amazing sound quality for such a small speaker. Integrates great with apple products too.

I couldnt wake up for any alarm. Bought this home pod from my local best buy and i havnt been late again. The kids love it “hey siri play mickey mouse song” The quality of this speaker is unmatched. Also got the protection plan (can never be too safe with little ones on the loose) SUPER AFFORDABLE. THANK YOU BEST BUY!

This is easily the most useless and unsuccessful Apple product I’ve owned. It’s the first time I’ve felt genuinely undersatisfied with an Apple purchase. Apple markets HomePod as offering “seamless transfers,” but that only applies to music. You cannot transfer or use it for app-based calls like Zoom, Teams, or WhatsApp. A basic $30 Bluetooth speaker can handle those without issue. In that sense, this is objectively worse than a cheap speaker. Sound quality is not impressive either. It’s fine, but nothing special, and in my experience not better than an Amazon Echo. For the price, it’s overpriced and underwhelming. The behavior is also unreliable. It randomly starts playing music without any clear trigger, and when that happens, you often can’t even stop or control it properly from the phone. This has happened multiple times, and it feels unpredictable and buggy. Connection with a Mac is unstable. You cannot rely on it as a permanent external speaker. It disconnects, fails to reconnect, and generally does not behave like a normal audio device. Bottom line: this is not a smart speaker in any practical sense. It’s a very restricted music appliance with confusing limitations that Apple does not clearly disclose. Honestly, a $15 knockoff Bluetooth speaker would be more versatile and seamless for everyday use. Extremely disappointing.

Amazing sound quality for the size of this item. We also have the larger HomePod. If you prefer higher sound quality, I would recommend going with the larger size HomePod.

A little speaker that packs a big punch. Great for small rooms. I use it for podcast listening and for alarm wakening. Don’t expect to rock a house party with this one.

This device was easy to setup and just holding my iPhone over it transferred my music to the speaker. Sound quality is not bad and surprisingly good for a small speaker.

Great sound and very easy setup! Hard to beat the low price!

The sound from the speaker is great. Wasn't expecting the volume to be so loud. Will purchase more

Good sound, good price, easy to set up. Replaces a defective HomePod that died 25 months after purchase, with a 2 year warranty. Hope I have better luck with this min!!

Really nice small speaker. Works great with Apple TV. Sound is great especially when streaming video and music. I will be buying more for my other Apple TV set up.

Great speaker for the size! It was my second one so I could pair them and works better then my bose speaker

They have great sound and were really easy to set up. I see them purely for speakers meaning I haven’t set up any of other features available such as home automation.

Is this as good as the full size HomePod? Sound? No. Size? Yes. This is what HomePod should have been from the beginning. Small, cheap, and affordable. I miss the big sound but not too much if I’m being honest.

Wow purchased this for my wife and it has the best sound quality of any small form factor speaker I've ever had.

Very good item when you are a fan of ‘all things Apple’. Good sound for such a small item. Great space saver. Bought two so that I could use as stereo pair.

My second speaker I bought and with two hundred dollars I have a great sound to enjoy my movies and music , I will recommend, it have a great price and great sound
