Excellent video; helpful to know what to expect audio wise prior to purchase!! Given these can’t be paired with the larger Homepods, does it make sense to get a bigger one so you can have a stereo pair? And maybe get one of these as single standalone in a different room?
So the cool thing with Airplay 2 is that you can do stereo pairs (which will be required for any kind of decent volume/bass). Although the Beoplay can also do this, with the B&O app.
Yes! A friend of mine has a full-sized HomePod and is willing to lend it out to me for testing. Subscribe to get a notification when the video goes live.
You did not convince me to buy a Home Pod but I kind of want the Beoplay that isn't for sale anymore. Is the Home Pod mini significantly better than something like your laptop speakers?
Yes, it's perfect for a small room and has decent (but not great) bass response. From time to time, I see Beoplay S3 listings on eBay, but you will have to pay a premium.
