Take a seat and prepare yourself for the most… generic… answer you will ever get lol.
*Better*… the answer I have for you is better.
I’m no audiophile, sound expert or speaker connoisseur. I don’t know the difference between highs, mids, lows or anything like that. To me, two Minis sound better than one lol but of course, it’s all perception and everyone will perceive sound in a different way. Heck, people high on certain drugs can even see sound in color lol (I am a drug recognition expert though).
I also have nine OG HomePods and those in stereo sound better than one as well.
I have seven minis in total. The two I was talking about were the most recent ones I purchased. Thought those would be the most important ones to answer your question of what OS they shipped with. Most are in stereo pair so it seems like a lot more than they are. Cut the number in half and that gives a more accurate assessment lol. Admittedly, I may have gone a bit overboard lol.
Yeah, I too wish the OGs were still around but they’re dropping like flies. Non stop reports of hardware issues. I picked three more up the day of the discontinuation announcement.
