Apple Homepod Mini

Apple's HomePod mini is small but powerful, with a spherical design which is a big change from the original speaker. At only 8.5cm and weighing 345g, the Siri-integrated speaker is wrapped with a seamless mesh and has a backlit touch surface for quick control. It can be paired in ‘duo mode' with another HomePod mini and can pick up on calls from iPhones and linked to Apple TV for enhanced sound. It is also built with a custom-designed acoustic waveguide for a 360-degree sound field, dual passive radiators for deep bass and computational audio for real-time tuning. At only $149, it is priced within the same range as similar speakers on the market but it is very tied to the Apple ecosystem, so this might be a disadvantage.
