Apple series has always been the darling of everyone's attention, and the HomePod mini is no exception. When Apple recently released the 14.4 system update for HomePod, it also announced the introduction of a new U1 ultra-wideband function between HomePod mini and devices with U1 chips (such as iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 models).
When songs are transferred from HomePod mini to iPhone 11 or iPhone 12 with U1 chip, this update adds visual, auditory and tactile effects. When iPhone is close toHomePod mini, it will begin to emit a soft tactile rhythm. As the iPhone of,, will start to emit a soft tactile rhythm.
However, the updated U1 function is unique to HomePod mini. Unfortunately, the standard version of HomePod does not have a U1 chip, so this function has passed.
Of course, the main reason why the HomePod mini is sought after by everyone is that the HomePod mini has better sound quality than similar products. The price of HomePod mini is lower than that of the original HomePod. Apple rarely sacrifices product experience for price and market share. The experience of HomePod mini is compared I personally think it is better than Alexa and Google Home.
However, many users who buy smart speakers actually have higher requirements for sound quality. Smart speakers on the market are all under the guise of high intelligence and high sound quality. Users will feel cheated immediately after they start. In fact, objectively speaking, many smart speakers on the market now have no reports in the Hi-Fi circle, and HomePod is just getting started, and there is not much remarkable. HomePod mini has better sound quality than similar products. it is good,And compared to HomePod, it is cheaper, which is why HomePod mini is praised on the altar.
In fact, as a mini smart speaker, it should at least contain these three elements: small size, cheap and widely compatible. However, HomePod has never met these three elements. The HomePod mini naturally meets the requirement of small size, but the latter two requirements seem to be directly ignored.
Here, I would like to remind friends who want to buy HomePod series products.
First, do you need good sound quality? yes, don't think about it. no, let's continue.
Do you have a stable and good network (preferably capable of home networking)? yes, don't think about it. no, let's continue.
Is there a hard requirement to use AirPlay? yes, don't think about it. no, let's continue.
OK, it seems that it is the best for you.
Of course, if the HomePod series is not just needed for you, and you want to buy it, consider the following process:
Windows natively uses AirPlay with tuneblade.
AirPlay connects wireless non-AirPlay delivery speakers with airconnect.
AirPlay connects wired traditional speakers, and uses a third-party streaming box or Raspberry Pi to flash the music playback system.
I have the money to buy Xiaoai speakers, is it not fragrant? There are screens, those without screens, large and small ones, and you can save a lot of money after you buy them. Moreover, smart speaker users rarely have Hi-Fi needs. At present, they can’t expect smart speakers to provide you with a strong sound field performance. The resolution analysis power and the image power are not to be considered. The consideration is nothing more than the one mentioned before: small size, cheap and widely compatible, and the sound quality sounds comfortable. Looking at it this way, is the HomePod series less fragrant?
Finally, as to whether it is worth buying or not, it depends on your own opinions. The views of the editor are for your reference only.
