Review on Smart speaker Apple HomePod mini, blue by Alvin ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Does not meet my expectations, it was not worth buying.

Power corresponds to the size of the column itself. "Wow" in this regard, do not wait. For a room 18 sq. M. with disgusting soundproofing in the apartment is enough . that's it. I do not recommend the product. Even for $99 you can find something worthy, but only if you are not interested in creating a "smart" home (I can't say anything about it). The photo shows proof that I have it, at least.

Pros
  • Design Better than sound on MacBook Pro 2022 13'' bass
Cons
  • I've been using it for 2 months now. 1) Medium frequencies are not enough. Definitely not for electronic music. I even want to vomit sometimes. Very noticeable when compared to the sound of the MacBook Pro 2022 13''. Users of other speaker systems also complain about the lack of mids in this speaker. 2) No matter what anyone says, it hurts like hell to use it. -If you output sound from macOS, then throughout the entire sound there is a lag of 1-2 seconds from the video content. There are exceptions, such as content from the Apple TV app. Connecting to the column also requires 1-2 seconds. If we collect the described into a single one, then the conclusion may be, for example, this - VLC users will not be happy at all. The gameplay also spoils. There are problems with Spotify, but more on that later. -If you output from the iPhone, then I can only talk about Spotify. As with output from macOS, there is a lag of 1-2 seconds when connecting and any other action (for example, switching a track). I think tolerable if you need only audio. A common problem - sometimes the connection falls off for a second and is restored by itself. This is accompanied by an interruption in the sound. In short: the sound is not for everyone, lags, interrupts.

Got pros: Full integration into the apple ecosystem and all the goodies included in it. Has some cons Extremely crooked WiFi module. Something the apple people did not screw up and it is very sensitive to the settings of the router. While I understood, while I set it up .

Has some pros Good sound for its size, great integration with the Apple ecosystem. Moreover, it can act as a hub for smart devices in the house. Cons: If you buy white - easily soiled. The cover cannot be removed and washed.

With its pros. Everything is clear 👌🏻 Got cons: Siri does not have a 2022 language, but we did it with difficulty, you need to go to Siri on your phone and change it there, the phone must be higher than the ios 15 firmware …….
