Surprisingly nice sound for the size
Design is very pretty
Looking more like furniture than a speaker
Can be paired in stereo
And works wonders when it does
Love how you can throw music from an iPhone to a HomePod

Abstract: With all that, I STILL didn't buy one. As great as the price “looked”, I was struggling to find a rationale for having one. Play music? Rarely do so at home and have a really big set of speakers connected to a decent receiver as well as AirPods to listen...

Very nice design and small footprint, Decent sound with excellent volume, Works with more than just Apple Music
Sound isn't as full or deep as the original HomePod, Cord is permanently attached and needs a 20W adapter, Siri needs to improve
Had the HomePod mini arrived before the original HomePod—as it probably should have—this would have been a very different review. But knowing how well the HomePod sounds, how cheap the Echo Dot and Nest Mini are, and how little Siri does compared to the o...
Impressive audio quality for its size, Easy setup, Works as a Thread border router, New “Intercom” feature lets you broadcast messages to family members
No physical mic mute control, Intercom doesn't support two-way calls, Supports only one third-party music services (for now), We've heard better-sounding smart speakers in the Mini's price range
If Apple's new, smaller HomePod cost the same as a $50 Amazon Echo Dot or a Google Nest Mini, I'd be calling it the new champ (albeit with caveats) in the entry-level smart speaker market. But at $99, the HomePod Mini falls short to the similar-priced Goo...

Abstract: The HomePod mini is perhaps the Siri smart speaker that Apple should have done sooner, but it's certainly the one you should buy now, even with some limitations.Where the original HomePod was quite small, and unexpectedly heavy, the HomePod mini is the op...
Get a pair. Of HomePods that is.Photo: Leander Kahney/Cult of MacOn its own, the HomePod mini sounds a little disappointing. It's just not big enough to create an enveloping soundscape.It sounds great for the size, but there's the rub: its size. They just...

Solid audio performance with rich bass and bright highs, Multiple speakers can be grouped and used as stereo pairs, Easy Siri voice control, Good Apple Home app integration for smart home controls,
Not the absolute best audio quality for the price, No aux input
The Apple HomePod mini speaker offers Siri voice assistance and smart home control in an attractive little orb design for just $99, but the Amazon Echo delivers substantially more audio power for the same price...

Compact design, Accessibly priced compared to big HomePod, Good sound for its size, Siri is fast
Still hugely dependent on Apple devices and services, Doesn't sound as good as similarly priced competitors, Volume controls on top are fiddly, Siri is still behind Google Assistant and Alexa in features and capabilities

Abstract: It's hard to shake the sense that the smart speaker market would look considerably different had the HomePod Mini arrived several years back. It's not so much that the device is transformative on the face of it, but it's impossible to deny that it marks a...
