There are some pretty awesome new features like the Intercom feature, but in this video, we are going to focus on sound quality by listening to three different genres of music.

Max im useing iphone 6 / Can a chance to win iPhone 12 for giveaway
I’m from India
I stay with my 2 Homepods✌️
I currently use the first gen. Echo dot coupled to my audio sound system for max range, but am interested in the Homepod minis for pairing in another room. Your comparison demo is the best so far of what I’ve seen on other tech channels. Many thanks for focusing exclusively on sound rather than Siri integration as most others have.
Homepods are way better by the classical mile & 1/2!
Apple should make another update. Sync HomePods Mini as L and R speakers and HomePod as subwoofer.
but $500 for that???
YES
@@impendio money ain’t a thang!!! Just kidding, get them on sale, the originals have had good sales.
I'm sure ppl who have HomePods might be willing to shell $200 for a pair of minis if they made an update like this.
Yeah that would be amazing
*I like the old style Echo Dot because it's small also **Newest.Technology**, gives out decent sound and doesn't take up a lot of shelf space if you want to put it on beam in the workshop or shed.*
like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....
HomePod Speaker - $80
Charger Brick - $19
Total Retail - $99 ...Not Bad!
@Apple OS www.apple.com/shop/buy-homepod/homepod-mini it’s 99
@Apple OS 99 dollars sounds better than 100
now that you mention it....
Don’t forget the taxes guys, Uncle Sam wants a cut too
In England , we have to pay £99 for a nice mini Homepod , which includes a small charger, and the cable.
That £99 includes the government's 20% Value Added Tax. So at the current exchange rate, the cost is about the same on either side of the Atlantic.
.
The original HomePod is the way to go as far as sound quality. When I heard that they were going to discontinue selling the original, I went and bought another to pair as stereo and all I have to say is that the sound with both paired is AMAZING!!!
This is THE BEST comparison channel I’ve ever found on UA-cam.
Appreciate that
😂way to long
This is the only good one
Especially since I am looking to buy a home pod mini 🐸🐸
It is awesome!
Price: Not too shabby
Sound quality: Good
Charger: Included
RGB: Added
Mr. Vadim: Impressed
Hotel: Trivago
😴😴
I'm curious how the sound is compared to 16 inch MBP cuz my 16 incher is good enough that I'm not sure if it would be worth it.
For everything else, there's MasterCard.
I have had my original HomePod since 2018 and it’s amazing with its sound quality and even at 100% volume still sounds fantastic
I’ve had my 2 HomePods since 2018 and they are amazing. I may have to pick up another 2 before they are gone forever. However the mini is interesting.
@Bswag Swag not sure where to buy now! I’m sure if you search hard enough they can be found!
You guys are crushing it with all this content. I am loving it.
Finally, the comparison video I’ve been waiting for, so excited!
Can’t wait for more 🔥
I own 2 HomePod minis and for their size they sound REALLY good. And what I love about the homepods is how it fits in with the furniture in my room as the standard HomePod just stands out too much
Fr (doesn't care but respects the opinion!)
Man I really hope they bring back the HomePod. I am an audio head so I just love the quality of the HomePod
@Bswag Swag Where do you find one sold new? And does anyone know if they have mentioned whether they will continue support it with software for a while?
Max you look like a Star Trek character with that top 😂.
@@vitalis lol!! All I know is I wanna get one in exactly that colour 😁
Wow!! I never noticed that! He only needs the badge now!!
LMAO pin this message
@@lakelane lol! I hope he gets one for the next video 😂

I have two HomePods and they are simply AWESOME! I will be picking up two mini’s for the bedroom. Great video and comparison!
I’m only going to add one Mini--its On order, due first week in Dec. Love my stereo original Homepods and use a cheapie Echo Dot in BR now primarily for radio, occasionally for music at. night but music is pretty poor on Dot-anxious to replace it.
I think buying two mini’s make more sense irregardless of the price. With two you actually get stereo separation and / or option to fill the room better.
This is the only UA-cam channel I refer to when questioning which apple products I should purchase in comparison to others. Max, you have seriously saved me money and has satisfied any question I could have had on which apple product would best suit my life and needs. Thank you so much for this channel! You have a subscriber for life!
The "old" HomePods are really magic in stereopairs.. You only need the steropair mini vs "homepod classic stereopair"
Best tech channel on UA-cam ❤️❤️
Got mine Monday. It’s amazing 😭 love it
I bought one and loved it so much I went to Apple store next day to pick up 2 more lol. Sounds amazing
Thanks - I just picked up a Homepod pair as a Christmas present to myself! and am blown away by the sound quality. I was thinking of getting a Mini pair too for my bedroom - you just convinced me.
I am seriously early thanks to notification
Could see you are really busy
Good job Max
Finally i was found out great comparison video .. Thanks Dude
This really is the best tech channel on UA-cam. Always good analysis and balanced opinion. The stuff they did on the new M1 Macs was excellent and helped me choose the right model for me.
The thing I'm most curious about is the 'room filling' sound. When you walk away and move around a space, does the bigger homepod feel like sound is bouncing off the walls, and the mini's significantly more directional?
Max, your videos are the best! You are one of the very few HONEST people reviewing tech. I am for sure getting a pair of the minis for my little sis for Christmas.
Awesome video you explained thing so good can’t wait for the next one
Even through my ipad pro I can listen to multiple frequencies, while the minis paired together maybe sounded louder, the best sound quality still came from the big HomePod
Exactly what I was looking for. Great comparison test, thank you! 😊
thank you so much for this! that’s exactly the kind of comparison I was looking for!!!
Got me one to use as a computer speaker for my mac mini. Need it for my son’s zoom classes. They are pretty loud.
By far , and truly by far the best channel for myself choosing apple stuff 👍loving your work, keep it up 😎
This is the video I've been waiting for!
Awwww the HomePod mini so cute
Awesome review Max! And Vadim- great MacBook Air Review!
Thank you!
@@MaxTechOfficial
Wow, man. Thanks for replying! Made my impression on y’all much better!
I appreciate it because you got to the bottom of this stuff and clarified anything 👍🏻
Would adding two HomePod minis to my bedroom be a nice setup with me already having one standard HomePod? I’d like a bit of stereo separation and love the size and look of these and the integration with airplay.
Always do a great review 👍🏼 great work Max
This is literally the BEST COMPARISON!!!!!!
Holy moly that is loud I wasn't even on full volume. Now that is nice.
Agreed
The review I’ve been waiting for
GREAT review and now I have a plan for two Mini's.
BTW.....Cool projector schematic posters in the background!!
Very nice video ! I was also looking for the same comparison. thank you for taking the effort for all of us!
I don’t know how this channel get more recognition. Tbh I think it’s better than some of those “more popular” channels
I have both models and love them equally the same.
that next video sounds like exactly what i’m waiting on... i just wanna see it compared against the sonos one and sonos symfonisk as well. subbed!
Super helpful. Thanks, guys.
Super great channel thanks brothers for your overviews
The important question is the difference with the apple tv and movies while using the sounds for the different pods
The Mini sounds surprisingly good! I’m super excited to get my Minis (once they’re in stock)!
I ordered mine on Thursday since none of the store in my city have them available, can’t wait for it to arrive!
Great job as always Max. 👌🏻😎
Yea the home pod has the clarity in the high end but the home pod mini sounds great as well
thank you for the video. I picked up my first HomePod few months ago on sale at best buy for $199. I guess I keep my eye for another HomePod sale this coming up Holiday season.
Good comparison. Loving the constant stream of Apple Goodness coming from here, keep up the good work guys! Mini’s, especially is stereo sound pretty good for their size. But the HomePod OG is a league of it’s own, it just sounds so much fuller and dynamic. Here in India, they (HomePod OG) just officially launched 4 months ago and retail at around $220 (After Discount Offers). Needless to say I got one. The moment I heard the sound coming out of One HomePod, I became a believer, like WOW! And the next day I ordered another one to create a pair, and I’m speechless. The sound is so crisp, filling and dynamic. The base has that ooomph factor and yet the highs are never sacrificed. You get to notice instruments in songs you’ve been listening for years. In India, The Minis have been priced around $140. Considering only a $80 price difference between Mini’s and OG, I suggest all Indian users to go for the HomePod.
Thanks for the honesty, here in the states it (Homepod OG) still retails @ $500 (average). I can't bring myself to get the mini because I feel like regardless of what anyone says i'll be sacrificing sounds quality (mainly lows/bass) but the homepod (og) is too damn expensive! lol So i think i'll keep my current setup echo plus & echo subwoofer which sound amazing but I love everything apple.
I have a pair of Mini’s as well in my bedroom. They are really good for their size, with very crisp vocals. But, a pair of mini’s is good for either chill/casual listening in a bed room, pod-casts, or on a work table as a substitute for laptop speakers. Not even close to a dedicated setup with a subwoofer. Your decision is correct and wait for Apple to launch the next BIG Home-Pod. BTW, if you have a lot of cash to burn, the Sony HT-A9 is simply phenomenal! Take care man!
Love your videos man! Legit 👏🏻👏🏻
Waiting on the review HomePod mini vs Amazon echo stuck which to buy
This comparison is 🔥 Awesome 🤩 you guys ☀ did it well 🌟
A very brief and short with clear tech elaborative explanation
Hey Max, wicked speakers.🤘🤘
Speakers usually benefit from break-in time. Bass improves, sounds more relaxed. Speaker has a mechanical component -- the drivers move - hence the break-in time. Try 100 hours and retest.
Interesting! I didn't know. I'm curious how they'd all sound after 100h then.
Thanks for this info
Do them then become stagnant and have to be played again for long, if they aren’t played for long?
@@Justusson Good question. I don’t know.
@@artmaltman I’ve heard about the stiffness to begin with but not if they stiffens back up again. Had to ask, thanks though 😊
I love seeing his channel grow everyday
I hope they update the regular HomePod within a year or two. Even better sound with all the new and advanced features of the Minis + a U1 chip, etc etc. It’s gonna be awesome. Also I don’t know if it can already but can it sync up with the Minis as well to play better stereo sound or it just just limited to a pair of minis nearby? I would kill for a 1+2 setup of a HomePod and Minis playing music in the living room.
I really want to know if you can use those three together as a sort of stereo + sub woofer setup?
it’s nice that he uses the same song on all the videos so that u can compare it easily
Your videos are always more inclusive than other youtubers :)
Could you compare it with a Bose Revolve? It has the same exact 1 speaker 2 radiator design, would be nice to see a comparison.
This was a useful comparison. Do you think though that apple will update the HomePod next year?
Waiting for the comparison between the Amazon Alexa 👍❤️😁
Bought 2 OG HomePods, can’t wait to get em
Great review!!!!!
I have just brought my first HomePod Mini & the sound is impressive & can you tell me? Can you play them all together around the house?
Thank you for your amazing videos? I wait for this and you do it all
I meant to put a exclamation mark. Sorry! Even with hard schedule you make videos everyday!
Could you test the HomePod Mini against the IKEA Symfonisk? Since they working the same ‚EcoSystem‘. That would be a great comparison
Great video, l love it!!!!
Excellent video and comparison 👍
Great review 👍
I had the original HomePod and it was way too loud for my appartment. Ordered two minis, I think this is more suitable for me.
I have two JBL Flip 4, any thoughts? Worth chaning to minis?
What about stereo separation / soundstage of the 2 minis. So many paired speakers do not do left and right stereo reproduction. Would appreciate your opinion on using the minis as nearfield desktop speakers. Tks!
Would love to hear your thoughts on the Denon Home speakers as well. They have a few different versions 150, 250, and 350
Glad I scooped two HomePods before they got discontinued the sound is great
Thank you for using quality mic 🎙
Make a comparison of M1 Macs with the 21 inch I mac
It’s the review exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much. I was leaning to buy 2 minis but after watching it I’d go for homepod 2nd
How do two HomePod minis compare to the 16inch MacBook Pro speakers? Is it worth getting two of these for my desk?
Holy crap that’s amazing 😳
Max which one has a faster chip though. Should I buy it or not. Is it better than Google and Alexa?
I think mini is faster then old one and he has vid comparing the 3 he rates alexa then google the siri for smart home assistant. Audio goes to homepod.
Can you make a stereo pair with 2 regular homepod?
Wish I'd found your channel before!! Awesome! Just unboxed my HomePod Mini last night! Ugg. Boom-y bass overpowering the mid- and high-range sound. Spent this morning listening to it. Afraid it's going back in exchange for a HomePod (will check out your links). And I agree with the comment saying you have the Star Trek look going on (a good thing in my book)--the cool shirt's a lot of it. Ha ha.
his videos are incredible
Hey can u connect without wifi ? To play music ? Just one home pod and I phone via AirPlay ?
The comparison video I've been waiting for since Apple announced the HomePod Mini!
@Max Tech Silly question, but can you pair a HomePod with the HomePod Mini(s)?
HomePod original sounds wicked. Reminds me of my original apple HiFi.
Do the Mini's have to be close to each other in order to do stereo? I wanted to be able to have one in the living room, and one in the kitchen with music playing at the same time. Is that possible?
wow damn these speakers!
The best review.
The Best Comparison
Nice vid!
