    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.

      two full size homepods are FAR superior however two mini homepods on louder are a good alternative almost as good .

    My sound bar died so I bought a second mini. They work very well. You need Apple TV to use them as tv speakers. I hear programs way better than before due to where I have them positioned.

    you can not connect this to a computer, I've tried it and it jut blinks bcuz it can't draw the needed power to function.

    It is basically downward firing speaker, maybe you’d get better sound putting it on the desk than on the box.

    It’s not wireless because HomePod also controls all of your HomeKit devices. It is the anchor for you lights, garage door opening all of that. So it has to be powered

    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

    Can’t see spending 600 for two HomePods so why yes it does sound better the two minis for 200 bucks does the job. If I really want a full immersive experience I use my AirPod max headphones and nothing beats 🎧 that experience

      Can't power from mac mini. I forgot what watt this wall unit is I think 18W but I know on another review might have tried a 12W and didn't work. Recommended to just use the one that comes with it.

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