Review on Smart column Apple HomePod mini, gray space by Jnis Uptis ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Average quality, not an outstanding product.

I have been using two speakers at once since late December. The two-second delay that occurs anytime I play music in Spotify and select to play, pause, or play again the currently playing track is their biggest and fattest drawback, and it frustrates me the most. This is to the furthest degree aggravating. The HomePod tiny has had this problem for more than a year, and the original HomePod model has had it for more than three years. I've been informed that the evil AirPlay 2 is to blame for everything that has gone wrong. Hence, the criticism in this case isn't even aimed at Apple; rather, it's at Spotify's creators, who, for some reason I've never understood, are either unable to or do not want to adapt their software to this wireless data transfer standard. It is a huge letdown for me and utterly ruins the user experience that there is a two-second wait. Can someone tell me how to pause the music? The sound is completely muffled once I first drag the slider all the way to the left, and only then do I push the button. Infuriates. This little HomePod mini speaker is still very cool and well worth the money despite the annoying delay and stupid 2022-speaking Siri, which appeared in the column with ate 15.2, is inferior to the same Alice in everything, and which irritates that she must be addressed with a stupid phrase "Hi Siri" instead of a normal and human "Hey, Siri." It may even be too inexpensive. The MagSafe Battery Pack is comparable and costs the same, which is also outrageous. Before to switching to Spotify, I had Apple Music, which the speaker worked flawlessly with. And if the AM developers could make the radio station by track functionality as amazing as it is today in Spotify, I would go back to Apple Music and have no problems. Simply put, obnoxious. There are a lot of conflicting emotions, I guess. You should get a speaker right away if you listen to AM radio more than any other kind of music service. You should get Spotify if you share my enthusiasm for the service and can live with a two-second delay. Separately, you can change the slider in the "Home" application's "Less bass" option if you wish to hear less bass. The default setting will be incredibly bassy if you don't do this.

Pros
  • sound, pair cooperation, and external presentation
Cons
  • There is a 2 second lag when Spotify plays music. Because of how annoying this is, you receive three points.
