Product details

HomePod mini is a smart speaker that adapts to location and delivers omnidirectional sound everywhere. Together with Apple Music (subscription required) and Siri, it creates a completely different way
to discover music. Thanks to the perfect integration of the intelligent assistant Siri and the compatibility with Apple HomeKit accessories, the HomePod is by far not only a playback device for music, but an extremely versatile everyday helper in the most diverse situations. In its compact format, the speaker can also be placed unobtrusively anywhere. HomePod can play Apple Music, your iTunes tracks, iCloud music library, Beats 1 live or Apple Podcasts and connect to other devices with AirPlay and AirPlay2. If you have an Apple Music subscription, you have full access to 45 million songs. Siri's artificial intelligence learns what you like and helps them discover more of it. A helping hand is just a "Hey Siri" away. Just name the artist, song or album or genre you want. Ask for background information, such as when the song was released. Or use Siri with all the possibilities you already know from your iPhone: Dictate her a text message to send to a friend or manage your calendar events. Integrate her into your HomeKit system and control your smart home simply with your voice from now on.

Many wireless speakers promise stereo sound, even with just one speaker. Regardless of whether they are wireless speakers or Bluetooth speakers - the solo speakers contain speakers for the left and right channels. But with just one speaker, the stereo base remains narrow: the distance between the left and right speakers within a speaker is simply too small...

Those who already rely entirely on Siri, iPhone, iPad and Apple's music streaming service can expand their Apple system with the HomePod mini, a small smart speaker that doesn't sound bad for its size. Those who want to rely on the superior capabilities of Alexa, on the other hand, will find the fourth-generation Echo Dot to be a comparatively inexpensive and much more versatile entry-level device,...
