According to our WiFi speaker expert
Despite its small size, the sound the speaker produces is as powerful as a medium-sized WiFi speaker.
Thanks to the 360-degree sound distribution, your music sounds clear from every direction.
Because Siri is built-in, you can control the speaker via voice commands.
You can only connect the speaker to other Apple HomeKit products.
The Apple HomePod Mini is a compact WiFi speaker that's only 8.4cm high. Despite this small size, the sound of the speaker is just as powerful as the most recent medium-sized WiFi speakers. That way, it's suitable for various rooms. Do you sit around the table with a group of friends? Put the speaker in the middle, and the sounds is clear in every direction, thanks to the 360-degree design. You can control the speaker via your iPhone, or with your voice, thanks to Siri.
Note: you need to set up the HomePod Mini in English first before you can use Siri in Dutch.

As a loyal Apple fan, this was about the only device I didn't have at home. I purchased the HomePod as a speaker for the desk. I was aware that playing Spotify had to be done with some detours. After all, Apple wants to promote its own Apple Music. In theory, you can play Spotify, but it is a hassle. However, what bothers me the most is the HomePod's responsiveness. Each action takes quite a bit of time, including adjusting volume, changing songs, etc. Sometimes the HomePod doesn't even respond at all. The sound is ok, but there are much better speakers for this price category. I really expected much more from Apple… Unfortunately, the HomePod does not work smoothly and, unlike other Apple products, does not feel intuitive. This ensures little 'fun' when using the device. Instead, it tends to create a sense of frustration… If you're looking for an affordable hub for HomeKit, the HomePod might be worth considering. For the rest, however, the HomePod is not recommended at all. In any case, my HomePod has already been returned to Coolblue.

I have Apple devices and they don't quite like Chromecast and these Homepod minis work perfectly with the Home app. Now I don't like to talk to devices, but these listen perfectly. Turn on Siri and your music will be played. There is still a lot to automate in the home app. I like the sound.
