I have 9 homepod mini. One in every room and the garage. I'm more than happy with the sound I get from the mini.

This is the best most comprehensive review on the new HomePod I've watched. Well done Stephen!

You hit the nail on the head, Homepod 2 for better sound quality, mini does the same job but does not have that full bass and treble sound quality. There is nothing else out there for the price except for Sonos One & 100, but if you are an Apple user Homepod 2 is the right one to pick. Two Homepods 2 for me.

homepod 2 or x2 minis better?

@mattsynth 3 месяца назад

@@youtubekullancs4523 I would go with two mini’s for that stereo sound. They sound great paired up.

@noupot Год назад

I prefer the mini. The only progress of the HomePod Gen 2 over the HomePod Gen 1 is the removable cable.

@duyluu3354 11 месяцев назад

Nah. I have the mini, it’s obvious the HomePod 2 is better with sound quality. It has Dolby Atmos support that pairs with Sonos Speakers with Atmos and auto tune capable, but the mini is a perfect choice for most people. Basically what this videos had mentioned.

@victoraghaulor Год назад

I’ve never heard a sound from either HomePods in real time, but I think I’ll go for the mini, and upgrade if I’m not okay with it. I can’t go all out $300 for a speaker just yet.

@imarubronzen 3 месяца назад

You can actually get them for about $100 cheaper second hand. I still wouldn’t spend $400 total just to get stereo audio for two speakers.

Great video. Thank you for this. Recently on another HomePod video, people were actually arguing in the comments that the mini’s sound quality was the same as both the larger versions.

@AppleInsider Год назад

That's far from the truth. I actually think the mini sounds good but when you listen to it next to the big HomePod, it's a huge difference.

@sharonb.9128 Год назад

@@AppleInsider yes, I know. I couldn’t believe the comments in Sam’s “The New HomePods are weird” video. I shouldn’t be surprised, when it comes to Apple products, some people lose their grip on reality.

@WizzRacing Год назад

Horse shit.. I used 2 HomePod Mini in Stereo for years.. One HomePod 2 sounds way better...Deeper bass and crisper mid range..

@phunkysai Год назад

I have heard that one big one sounds really good, but two big ones together sounds spectacular (for home theater type stuff). Have you been able to listen two big ones paired up?

@AppleInsider Год назад

Totally agree with this. I'd rather use two HomePods paired with the Apple TV and get Dolby Atmos spatial audio instead of a soundbar.

@tordb Год назад

@@AppleInsider HomePods over any other speaker with subwoofers? I think the HomePods would be great if they had subwoofer out. Otherwise, spatial audio is kinda broken without any bass.

@AppleInsider Год назад

@@tordb They have quite a bit of bass in them. They each have a dedicated sub that spans the entire width of the device.

@tordb Год назад

@@AppleInsider You can't deny that Spatial Sound lacks bass big time. I run an Atmos home theater and an Apple tv and was trying out spatial audio this past weekend. It sounded good but lacked bass (I'm running 2 12" Klipsch powered subwoofers) Spatial is almost perfect until they fix no bass from the audio tracks.

Can you stereo pair 2 HomePod minis with 2 HomePod 2s? Or are you limited to the amount of HomePods to be paired together?….I basically want 2 HomePod 2s and 2 HomePod minis connected to my Apple TV

@WizzRacing Год назад

Yes you can. Just use the Home Application on your iPhone, iPad.. Then configure them the way you want..

@SiranoFerrentino 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for covering this subject, I've been hesitant to buy the full HomePod because of the massive price difference, and was wondering if the sound quality was worth it (as sound quality would be the priority here) and you verified it for me, so thank you.

@jamesyeechunfung1432 Год назад

Thanks. With covid is behind us, how nice if Apple would have a showroom to demonstrate the sound differences between the two

Came here to say the mini is junk the sound is horrible it’s seems as there is one downward facing speaker at the bottom the sound is flat and distant and irritating after a while. Waste of money just buy the big one or something else. The one thing that does well is using it for a speaker phone. The mic pick up is very great and people can hear you. But you’re probably buying this for speaker so just pass.

@AppleInsider Год назад

Hey There Bn Hli, I'm just curious. Why would you call this ridiculous or clickbait? I said this was a comparison between these two devices and I showed you physical and software differences. As the title said I provided a feature comparison, an audio comparison, and guide recommendations at the end. I feel I upheld what I had promised. I'm not mad you didn't like the video, but I do want to put out the best videos I can.

@nigelstockley7011 Год назад

@@AppleInsider some people just want to seek attention and be negative for the sake of it. Best ignored. That said, of course theres sonically no comparison between the 2, but the mini sounds very decent for its size and much better than the similarly sized amazon echo dot. A stereo pair of minis sounds much better than they have reason to..... Maybe a good or better example would be to compare a single HomePod v2 with a stereo pair of minis - still 100 cheaper and yet giving you proper stereo separation.... sounding great, working well as TV speakers in a smaller room with an appleTV, and all for a much more affordable price.
