Just received my HomePod Mini. Ordered from Hong Kong and friend delivered for RM 20. The sound quality is underwhelming compared to the original HomePod. I bought the HomePod mini for RM400 and previously a full size HomePod for RM750. I would say go for the HomePod if you have the space and doesn’t need thread.
I am getting the Nanoleaf Essential Lightbulb to test with thread so I guess I'm keeping it.
The sound quality is less than 40% of the original HomePod. If you had heard an original HomePod, this does not sound like it at all -> Closer to a Google Nest Mini.

Anyone interested in Apple Homepod Mini..I'm getting my friend to buy from China and ship it to Malaysia. Anyone interested so we could share the shipping fee?
