Other than the cash saved, getting two HomePod minis is a great option for anyone who wants to take advantage of the stereo sound when you pair two together. While Mashable's Stan Schroeder didn't think the limited hardware on this tiny speaker offered the most clarity, especially with bass-heavy music, he did find that it does have impressive sound mixing, which made genres like rock sound similar to the larger HomePod speaker.

As for the smart capabilities, the HomePod mini of course runs Siri, and integrates seamlessly with the other Apple devices in your home. It has four mics for listening that do the job, as well as an accelerometer, humidity, and temperature sensors. Plus, it can work alongside any other smart home tech compatible with Apple's Home app.
