Ultimate HomePod 2 ($299) vs HomePod Mini ($99) Comparison & Speaker Test \ Which Is a Better Value?

Apple's speaker offerings are GREAT devices. The HomePod mini is a tremendous value at only $99 for decent sound while the pricier but bigger HomePod 2 IS a bit more expensive, but many would argue it's well worth it given the tremendous boost in bass and audio quality.
Which of these do you think is a better value??

I have four Mini and given the size and layout of our place, I don't see a reason to replace them with the big HomePod as the sound is more than acceptable for me.

Lovely video dude

I had one mini for like a month then snatched another and it made a nice lil difference. So 200 for 2 mini it’s cool for my iPad. I jus cant drop that 6 n sum change for 2 HP2’s. Nice vid👌🏾

Great video, you did a perfect job comparing! At 11:56 you talk about stereo pairing the 2nd gen with the mini, with the I didn’t think you could do that? Also, does two HPM’s in stereo mode provide a similar range of bass compared to one HP gen 2?

[@Celisar1]

You can use the HomePods as your standard TV speakers with an AppleTV 4K and then activate the HomePods mini i addition so that you hear synchronised sound from all 4 speakers at the same time. And no: the bass of 2 HPM isn’t as good or better than 1 HomePod 2, it’s the other way round.

i just got my first window door sensor from eve and now also have my first homepod mini to get notifications sent to my iphone and i love it. i dont think the 299 price is good enough its a bit much and apple should know to be working on making siri better instead and also apple tv as they are behind.

I have the first gen, love it the sound is amazing and fills the house. I probably won’t get the new one but the HomePod is great in general, if pricey.

[@Anonyme09865]

First gen sounds better. I have both and the second gen sounds a little bit like echo 4

[@Streamlined955]

Dude! I never knew the song handoff worked from the HomePod to the iPhone. Thanks! I bought a pair of the big 2nd Gens but I actually think my 1st Gen HomePod pair sounds a little better.

[@TheJuanOnly]

No problem!! Really cool feature! Yeah i LOVE my stereo pair, i have a big one in my recording room & then another in my bathroom for when i shower, I like to have mini concerts lol Thanks for watching!

[@Anonyme09865]

Yep the first gen sounds better. I have both gens as well

[@LeandroLoan]

Please, can it play through three speakers at the same time: two homepod minis paired in stereo and one homepod?

[@user-wz2de5ze1r]

No

[@sharksbean]

Personally I’ll stick to the mini for now.

[@roeiboot]

I too have the OG and it’s not going anywhere (unless a burglar takes it ;-}… added a mini for upstairs and use it nightly for the “ambient” sounds when I go to sleep. If I would run into a cheap(er) OG I may add it. Obviously (?) I use the OG for my TV (I don’t have cable TV) and am a bit annoyed when I use “regular” TV with old school antenna & it uses the TV speaker ;-/ Great video Juan, as always thanks.

[@Anonyme09865]

OG sounds better than second gen. I have both and the second gen sounds like an echo 4

[@L8rCloud]

I saw in other videos that pairing 2 HomePod 2 speakers interferes with its immersive audio and calibration features - So although you CAN physically do it you probably wouldn't want to.

[@twosawyers]

I’ll pay that $300 price if I get two years of Apple Music for free!

[@mchestnut1970]

Have two mini with my AppleTv and honestly was blown away with how the sound. The bass on the HomePod 2 isn’t enough to warrant the price. It does of course sound better. But still the price just isn’t worth it. The mini stereo setup is the way to go for me

[@rdboston7866]

No comparison between them. Big ones are the best
