July 5th is my wedding anniversary. How about that.

I might be biased but that’s the best day EVER

Amazing little speaker with Big Sound!

I can’t wait to hear how it sounds. I picked it up 5 minutes ago from my (second) preferred Apple store.

So, I have used the HomePod mini for the first time today.

It sounds good for podcasts, but it lacks a little bit of richness (for my taste) on music. I have to mention that I’m coming from a SONOS Sound System. But it’s really good for the size it is.

What annoys me is the iPhone interaction. It constantly tries to get me to control it, locking the app behind the prompt. I hope iOS 15 will fix it.

Context: I’m considering buying a second HomePod Mini, and stereo pair it with my current one. It's for playing podcasts (not the most appropriate), but also movies/TV shows that I stream on my laptop.

Question: is it worth it? Does it sound much better?

Purchased my first mini. My other home speakers are all Google so I want to see how well these work. If it meets my needs I will probably switch over completely.

Not sure where I saw the article but it stated that the Mini in pairs doesn't offer STEREO. Found the article on iMore.

You can't use two HomePod minis as stereo Mac speakers despite AirPlay and it's madness
There's a workaround but it shouldn't be needed.

I would love to use two minis as stereo speakers for my pc but cannot because 1) they aren't stereo and 2) they can't be bluetooth speakers (nor do they have an aux in). For me, those are fatal flaws. I really don't understand why Apple would not have bluetooth capability.

I really don't understand why Apple would not have bluetooth capability.

Because Apple only wants their HomePods working with Apple devices, not to be used as bluetooth speakers for pc’s and Droid phones.

Entirely reasonable in my eyes !
