audio quality should stand head and shoulders
above the Echo Dot, and perhaps the main Echo
range. Combined with an Apple-engineered full-
range driver, powered by a neodymium magnet
and a pair of force-canceling passive radiators,
HomePod mini offers deep bass and crisp high
frequencies, whether you’re listening to Cardi B’s
WAP or a classical masterpiece.
Apple says that HomePod mini has the same
acoustic principles as the “daddy” HomePod,
with an Apple-designed acoustic waveguide to
direct the flow of sound down and out toward
the bottom of the speaker for an immersive
360-degree audio experience. Because of this,
users will be able to place their HomePod
mini devices anywhere in the room and hear
a consistent level of sound. Combined with a
three-microphone array which is constantly
listening for the Hey Siri prompt, you’ll never
have to wait long for music or a trivia answer.
