Apple HomePod Mini

The sound from this device is impressive given its size, but the constant dropping out is infuriating. Wifi signal is strong, troubleshooting guides followed, Spotify and Apple Music - nothing changes the dropping out.

Every time I have to use this thing I have to restart it to be able to get the playlist I want to talk to the phone. It’s infuriating. May as well just leave my phone play as I fall to sleep.

I’ve several HomePod mini’s around the house, all working great.

For the quality of the speaker and it’s connectivity, it’s a pretty good buy at $149. Some apple products seam insanely priced - $1000 monitor stand - but this one is definitely worth it, especially if you’re already in the apple ‘ecosystem’.

The intercom feature is most used in our house as it’s quite handy.

It does not play music (tap to transfer) from iphone 12 pro; my iphone constantly vibrates but the homepod mini does nothing; it freezes my iphone; plays random music despite no music being played on my iphone; and the device cannot be reset (even though I deleted it on home app, it does not reset the device). I will now return it tomorrow for a refund. Apple is not ready to provide sound/smart home devices. They already discontinued their homepod device which received many negative reviews. This is so suprising because I am an Apple fan and never had any issues with their other devices.

I purchased three of these because I read that you can make two become a stereo. Which actually works exceptionally well. I had a couple of issues setting them up, called apple support all fixed up within 5 mins. I am sitting out on my deck (Australia) and listening to a playlist I created and I’m in heaven - so pleased to not switching on the TV. I have a spare battery for emergency use when my laptop dies, and I have used this to power the device. 100% happy for AU$150 each this is the Best Buy I have made in years. If apple make 3 work together and 1 is a sub woofer we have surround sound!

When I could get the pair of these amazing little speakers to work they were phenomenal. The trouble is they wouldn't stay connected. Sometimes they would connect to the phone, sometimes to the tv. Sometimes to both. Sometimes to neither. I updated every operating system. I followed every single tutorial online, every guide on the apple website and on other sites.

The strange thing is I've never had an issue with another Apple product. My Apple TV is bulletproof. The laptop incredible, my iPhone is great. My wifi is good and reliable. The only

I have a sonos one and now this homepod mini, and the homepod mini by far outdoes the sonos. It is so good! Worth every single penny that I paid

I put a HomePod mini in my bedroom and found the sound quality great, not as good as the full sized HomePods I already have in my living room, but fine,

Siri is responsive, but I find the volume is lower than I need even with music turned up, so I sometimes can’t hear it. This is never a problem with the larger HP,

The biggest problem I have with the Mini is the top controls which are not very easy to use and unresponsive. It’s useless as a volume control for the bedside as you can never tell where to press, and usually I end up accidentally pausing,etc,
Also, having it light up briefly in the dark isn’t great.

Still, I’m happy enough with the purchase. I just put a coaster over the top of the controls.

2 of these in the bathroom. 2 sound a lot better than 1 and they can squeeze in virtually anywhere. Siri responsiveness seems very good as far as Siri goes. impressive sound for a small package. will buy 2 more when I can for the bedroom....
