![]() Since I took it out of the box and plugged it in, the only time I had to interact with it, touch it, was to turn it on, that was it. Also, I have never heard the big HomePod before or the mini for that matter so this was a real poker purchase, and for me, it's a win-win. Not sure I can test and demonstrate how well it sounds, so I suggest you listen to it before you get one if you are expecting a lot from this device. It was so deep and filled the room that I was surprised, to say the least.Ĭonsidering that my taste in music is more towards high tones and not so much bass (metal and hard rock), I am thrilled how mini is performing. At that point, the bass was the first thing that I noticed. Well, I can say that I was surprised how well this little device sounds.ĭid I mention that it chimes when you turn it on? So cool. ![]() I just wanted to have a nice quality speaker that will not occupy too much space and give out decent sound quality. Now, I am no expert when it comes to sound quality. HomePod mini detected by Synology routers (Bars are a real time presentation of the signal strenght) Sound quality True it's not the mini icon, but it's bigger brother, but still, a nice little geek feature. There is even a little icon in the router settings that you can allocate to the device itself. There was absolutely no problem in setting it up. My household is covered with an AC (5G) mesh signal using Synology routers, and the mini is working just fine. Mainly the mini has to have a rock-solid signal to have 0 problems when it comes to playback as well as responding to your Siri commands. Keep in mind that your experience will depend on how well your wifi coverage is, both for your mini and your devices that you are casting from. 10 step process and you are done!Īfter you have configured it, the mini will connect to your local network via WIFI.

The Apple magic way thats how! Configured HomePod mini in action (Siri configuration in process) Setup process So it will be interesting to see how that will work as well.įinally, I have some HomeKit compliant hardware in the house as well, and even though I use them on my iPhone widget, or with Siri, it will be fun to have another device to control them in case my phone is not close. In any case, apart from a regular speaker player, and a potential intercom device, unlike most of the people that I know, I use Siri a lot. Braided 1,5m long fixed USB-C cable USB-C 20W power adapter (decent weigth to it I migh add) Sure, I could get a radio or something like that but then again this small portable speaker looked like an ideal candidate! Also, I can move it around and multiple people can use it with their Apple products, so if it turns out to be useful, I might get another one just so I can annoy my wife in the other room (or maybe she will annoy me, hmm?). Rest of it, including the manual and cable, are in the bottom Well, the main reason was that considering that I now work full time from my home, using my headphones most of the time to listen and interact with my coworkers, I sometimes wish there was some ambient noise (music) playing in the room.
