4 Months of waiting
I think they were announced somewhere in October and now 4 months later I finally got my hands on 2 HomePod minis. In short: they are absolutely great value for the money and I can really recommend them, especially if you are already deep in the ‘Apple ecosystem’.
After trying them out in different rooms (where they all sound great) I ended up putting them both in the living room & kitchen. This is a 50m2 area and after adding 2 HomePods Originals next to the TV I felt I was missing great sound on the other side of the living room and in the kitchen. This setup gives the room a super nice experience as you hear the music coming from every direction.
What’s interesting is that these HomePods are actually tiny, like soft-ball tiny, a small grapefruit. And the sound it produces is really quite impressive. For €99… not bad…
They are currently out of stock but I definitely plan on getting more for upstairs (2x bedrooms, office and perhaps even the bathroom) for a true multi-room listening experience.
You can get them at Cyberport, Gravis or fnac if you are lucky.
