HomePod mini

The only video that matters is Snazzy Labs. Rather disappointed he hasn't posted his HomePod review yet. That guy knows audio.

Most of these videos have no idea how to meaningfully comment on the audio quality, which should be the only reason anyone buys them. Dave2D made a solid effort though:

 
I've got 5 minis. They're working fine, not from ZA but no issues so far. Keen to see how the HomePod 2 is going to be.

Only thing I'm missing is setting them as more than a stereo pair. I want to link up five of them!
 
But you can?

I play all of mine together and the two Apple TV’s all the time.

^This.

@Hamster if you ask Siri to play something on the stereo pair, that’s what you’ll get… if you ask her to play something on the stereo pair *and* other rooms the playback synchronises across all the rooms you include in the ask.

But that's not the same as getting 5 channel output. That's just playing the same thing over 5 speakers.

Oh you mean like 5 in one room type vibe.

The logistics of that would concern me more.

But also music is in stereo, so makes sense to pair in stereo only.
 
 
Thats one hell of a price....

How is that even going to compete with the mini at that price.
 
Fok, R 7199 and in a couple years it’ll be obsolete unlike a traditional Hifi that will move with the times, just change the source.
 
my HomePod Minis are reporting temperature in each room now! Yay I’m so excited

Also got my eye on one of those new HomePod 2s. Magnificent piece of hardware. You need 2 to really do it though. It must be so amazing I’m getting goose bumps thinking about it.

The R2,399 HomePod Mini has an effective conversion rate of R24.23.

The big HomePod has an effective conversion rate of R24.08. Yeah, it sucks to pay $409 for a $300 gadget, but we should have expected that price from iStore.

The problem is rather that you need to spend $818.
