  • Is the 2020 HomePod Mini Dual Setup Any Good? In this video we are going to put the Apple HomePod Mini through its paces to give you an honest opinion regarding sound, cost and what this little devices have to offer.
    A lot of questions are going through your head right now: So Which HomePod to to buy? Should I buy the HomePod 1 vs HomePod Mini? Is the HomePod Mini better than HomePod?
    All these questions should be answer at the end of this video so we suggest you stick around for this HomePod Mini review.
    Let’s start the video with an unboxing of the Apple HomePod Mini and let’s see what it has to offer.
    From the Very Apple HomePod 1 I was impressed by the sound but underwhelmed by the assistant features.
    So the Apple Home Pod Mini does it again: No screen, no buttons and a cable still attached to the unit.
    The Apple HomePod price is $99 and a lot of people may be asking is if a HomePod is better than any of the Portable speakers on the market.
    Well you are going to be able to hear it for yourself. We recommend you watch this video with headphones.
    The HomePod mini comes in two colors, white and black and offer similar features as the HomePod one with an easier pairing system.
    One of the things that made the Apple HomePod a great unit is it’s sound so could 2 Apple HomePod Mini be better than a HomePod 1 that at one point was priced at $300. If so the dual HomePod Mini setup will save you a whole $100.
    Most people getting this unit are likely to get a great sounding speaker that is small and it looks good, but is the HomePod mini it?
    So Sit enjoy and relax because this one will be the video to watch before you purchase a HomePod Mini or two!

    I disagree. Two of these can CERTAINLY be a substitute or a new purchase for a sound system in a home. It depends on what you are looking for. Most people will be satisfied, I'm sure. Nowadays we don't need a conventional stereo sound system to enjoy quality music.

      It may be the better sounding little speaker. But it has low volume and I guess that is to avoid distortion.

    It comes with a charger & cheap because when you’re buying a “HomePod” you’re potentially gonna be buying some “HomeKit” accessories all of them profits Apple. You’ll use Apple Music subscription is next to sure for Apple and it’ll make steady profit for them for really long time it’s also the reason they made HomePods really robust. You’ll be fan of apple when you know how good decisions they make to make business
