Mine also from US, it's usable here, just get the cheap adapter. Btw, homepod mini uses external power adapter, usb c.
*
is it the same adapter that a wifi router uses that kind?

Mini uses the normal usb c 20w adapter according to info, which means you can use a macbook adapter to power it.
*
i see. what is the connector used for the homepod? usb-c or lighting?

i may buy a homepod mini to use during sale. homepod always got promo which is selling at USD199 a lot of time instead of original price at resellers.

think homepod mini can be cheaper.

For homepod, it's just the normal US plug, I use a cheap adapter to convert it to the 3 pin UK. I'm thinking of getting another homepod too, want to make it stereo.
*
ic...

yeah.. it is only the plug a bit troublesome. need to use converter.

will wait for sale period and buy one homepod mini from US to try. haha.

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.

delivery only rm20, that's dirt cheap... how come the full size homepod so cheap at rm750 only?

Only with another mini.

Ha!? I see.

Then will see the sound quality of the HomePod mini that is coming to me soon to decide whether there is a need to buy another unit for stereo sound or to buy a HomePod if it cannot meet the needs.

I got a HomePod from Canada and brought it back.

The Apple Music doesn't really work with my Malaysian Apple Music.

I signed up for Apple Music Canada and it works here too.

But once I switched back to Apple Music Malaysia, I can only stream music like any other app does. Like Spotify

I cannot use any functions that Apple Music provides to HomePod. Like play during playlists. Or other like 'Play Soothing Sounds'.

SUCKS!

I wish Apple can get better here in Malaysia.

But I feel it will never happened...

InsyaAllah, a miracle might happen.

p.s. If I am wrong, please teach me how to fix it. Thanks.  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

It is not supposed to work I think. Even lion city does not have HomePod selling. It is really a product that is for selected market now.

I dun intend to use it with Apple Music since I do not have Apple Music subscription anyway. Will just stick to airplay from YouTube or Spotify or anything other thing instead.

certainly getting a HK one will be the best. same plug.

yes, the 20w charger alone worths quite some $$ already.

very good speakers.

i hate most speakers around with strong bass only but without clear and crisp vocal.

homepod mini is good for this department totally.

better than any JBL speakers which are the 2nd in my list.

Hi guys,

wanna ask if I airplay with homepod mini, is there any delay?
*
So far so good. Quite responsive, not really have noticeable delay.

Really a good buy. The sound quality is superb.

Now deciding whether to buy another one to use as stereo.

Okay, because I found if I airplay youtube video from my MacBook Air to homepod min. There will be a slight delay if I skip & forward the video.

Do you guys also subscribe to the Apple Music?
*
Slight delay is normal initially, after that it will be normal.

Find it acceptable, considered very responsive liao.

I do not subscribe to Apple Music. Only airplay content to it.

Do u use two minis or just one?
