Mic for Mac Mini ?

[deckard666]

I am thinking of swapping up to an M2 Mini from my M1 MBPro - I use siri a lot but i see there is no mic in the mini - How do you lot do it ?

I don’t have a Mac mini. However, would look at a microphone and or ensure the monitor has a microphone e.g studio display.
Choice you can also use text to siri. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iphaff1d606/ios

I wouldn’t bother

JD2015: I have not depended on SIRI but, for the heck of it I tried what works for me: I have a Bose QC35 II bluetooth headset which contains a microphone (my only source and I have used it once with my phone) and I often use it for listening on my computer. Using Bluetooth, I have it paired with my Mac mini 2. In Settings/Bluetooth I set the Bose... to "Connect". Then down to Setting/Sounds, I set it to "Input". At that time, just tapping on the headset with the mike and the response is shown on a bargraph in the settings display. Then I turned Siri on, called "Hey Siri" and got my response from the speaker in the M2. I thought I would have to use the combo F5/microphone key but it was not necessary.

I don't know if a microphone plugged into the back audio jack would work or not. Worth a try.

Good Luck.
