Review on πŸ”§ UGREEN Wall Mount Holder for Google Home Mini and Nest Mini 2nd Speaker - Space-Saving Bracket Accessory in White by Alex Panda

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Does exactly what it says it does but that's the problem

This product does exactly what it says it does. It mounts easily on the wall and is perfect for your Google Home Mini. What I discovered very quickly was that mounting the Mini on the wall with the speaker horizontal rather than facing up made a huge difference in my ease of use and enjoyment of the sound. The Mini is primarily designed to transmit sound upwards, which fills a large room. With a horizontal orientation, most of the warmth in the sound is gone and it becomes much more directional. Walls have much more distorting shapes (bookcases, media centers) and soundproofing (curtains, tapestries). I also found that changing the orientation negatively affected the microphone used to receive my commands. I found I had to face the device and talk a lot more than before. All in all it's a great idea and does exactly what it was designed to do. I just don't know if this is the right solution for most people.

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Something different
