BEST SOUND! HomePod Mini vs Amazon Echo & Google Nest!

I have one HomePod mini and I’m planning on buying more. I love it! I have an original google home, and I just like my mini better

The Nest Audio sounds... muddy? Hollow? I don’t know. Just sounds strange.

He broke the nest mini😂😂😂

Craig, I enjoy your vids a lot, but I just can't get past Apple's requirements to use an iPhone or iPad to setup the HomePod or Mini -- there's just no way around it. For that reason, I stay far away from the Apple ecosystem.

I like the sound improvements Amazon has made on Echo and Dot. But users like me that have Sonos, the sound quality from these home assistants are moot. A few weeks ago Sonos Move was only $299, so I upgraded all my Gen 1 Play 5's to Move's. I use my assistants for information, not music playback. So for that reason, I have no need to upgrade my current Echo's. But I'll keep watching your videos because you always explain the latest and greatest features. When I need any of those features, I'll upgrade. Keep up the great work.

Really why.

The Nest Audio really has disappointing sound compared to the Echo and HomePod mini.

Great comparison. Thanks for sharing! I agree with your statement of the HomePod mini is “in it’s own category.” Blows other small speakers away, but costs more, and hard to compare with speakers three times the size.

Thanks.

Echo paired in stereo, unbeatable !

Surprised how well the HomePod Mini held up against the bigger ones. Looking forward to checking it out. Any thoughts on the AirPod Max Headphones? Just curious. Great video. Nice comparison.

HE JUST YEETED THE GOOGLE HOME MINI RIP

I watched about 15 comparison videos and you’re the first to give it to Google. Usually the Amazon wins followed by the HomePod.
I do though think half the videos comparing £20 Dots and Nests against a £99 HomePod is absolutely pointless and is just satisfying to a certain sector of people.
That said I own 2 Dots a Nest, and also a HomePod.
I use the Dots for my home lighting purely because the HomePod just fails nearly every time despite not having a problem with my iPhone that also works flawlessly with Siri.

I love how you took the time make the transitions on the songs perfect. That way you could even shazam the songs. Great work 🙏🏽

For those of us who can't see and rely on our ears it would've been nice to know which speaker you were playing at what point you were playing them.

Thanks for the takes! Home Pod mini is awesome in what it's doing with the computational audio and passive drivers. That said, physics is physics, and more speaker diameter will usually win out. But for my small desk setup, I might try out 2 of the minis....

Amazon offers too many price drops on their echo so you can end up with 2 for the price of 1 apple

Ngl I found the HomePod Mini to have a better sound stage and signature in comparison to the other although due to its size has to be cranked higher.

HomePod mini is the best

Google min has a new update that works well with Samsung things app and you can ask it to make calls and it doesn't use your mobile but thAT FEATURE GOING TO LAST FOR A FEW MOUTHS FROM NOW AND IT WILL END I LIKE THE SOUND OH THE GOOGLE NEST FOR WHATS ITS WORTH ITS GREAT.

Hey Craig! Love your vids ty also now you can officially watch Netflix on echo show 5 and 8 yei.

Craig, I haven't seen anyone discussing this but I wanted your opinion. The Echo in Glacier White looks better than Charcoal or Twilight Blue. To me the plastic in the back looks higher quality than the other two. I pointed this out to a neighbor and he also agreed after coming over to look at it himself. I think the fabric is better quality, too. To me the poor quality of the materials was reason enough to not buy the Charcoal or Blue. I would prefer the entire thing to be wrapped in fabric but that's not an option.

What is the song's name?

I’ve seen enough. I’m keeping the echo dot. And subscribing

Playing the video on my TV the echo sounded best

nest sounds like a tin can

You can change the bass treble and I think midrange on google home.

HomePod mini win..

I‘ve got a HomePod and a HomePod mini. At first I was a bit disappointed by the mini because it has much less clarity and oomph than the big HomePod. But it sounds incredibly good for its small size, and it’s finally bedroom-compatible (the big one is too loud imo)! I like the U1 tech in theory but I’m beginning to dread it in practice, though. I really hope Siri will learn to whisper, then I’m really happy with it.

Such an excellent review
I love the HomePod mini, it’s in my living room, I might buy multiple to have around the house

I bought the first Homepod years ago and added my second Homepod mini today. I like the intercom function, the iPhone handover function, and of course the full rich sound of all homepods.
I'm pretty happy with Siri as well. I just wanted to check out the competition and after seeing your video believe I've made the right choices.
My original Homepod is great for the larger studio room, while the iPod minis are excellent for the other rooms.
I've considered Sonos at one time, but I just like the added functionality of the Apple ecosystem too much to switch to a system that in my humble opinion only sounds slightly better.

What’s the sound test song?

I was always about Google devices but since merging to the Echo and Alexa devices, I am done with Google! The Google nest mini has about as much sound quality as speakers from a phone. The Echo is WAY better than Google home too.
Alexa is also much more user friendly and responds quicker and you can do more customization with the Alexa app. As far as Apple goes... Just another overpriced mediocre
product. Nothing more to say about that!
Cheers

Hey can someone give this man some credit with his music preferences.. Haven't heard any of these songs before but all are great! Anyone know the names of these songs?

I own an apple HomePod mini and the original.. and I’m telling you as a die hard apple fan and defender the HomePod mini IS VERY INCONSISTENT some songs SOUND IMMACULATE and clean and crisp and loud with deep base some other songs I’m completely revolted with how bad the sound is mainly the loudness some well about half the music I like sounds washed out and the speaker sounds like it’s only at 60 percent but it’s actually at max volume it’s not very consistent and makes me hate it which is why I’m returning it tomorrow I’m honestly here to see how that google speaker sounds compared to the mini

Great review!!!!!

Disappointed Mini being n…not ac or ax…

HomePod mini vocal is more clearly

Man the Apple sounds rich.

Good work. Craig

Just now got my two HomePod minis and apparently Apple is in talks with releasing a new HomePod and I’m scared that my HomePod might and support. on top of that I’m blind and in a limited budget

What do you mean that there's no stereo separation on the Echo , I can definitely hear a separation with mine .

you are god and the greatest person this universe can ever witness eternally.

I got a Nest Mini and was really disapointed with the sound. It's really lacking. I also got a Nest Hub (the display one) and that one also has mediocre sound. For the price I was expecting something better.

I’m so lonely I’m finna get everyone to have my lil assistant harem 😭🗣️🔥

😊😮❤🎉

I think the echo is my favorite out of the lot

This is correct sound profile when you close that much to HomePod that you hear in real over powering non vibrating or boomier bass but hear deep bass
