Which HomePod to buy

Right off the bat, the HomePod and HomePod mini look widely different. The HomePod measures 6.6 inches tall, while the HomePod mini is just 3.3 inches tall. The smaller model is also much lighter, weighing 0.76 pounds compared to the full-sized HomePod's 5.16 pounds.

With the HomePod 2's larger design comes more internal volume, as compared to the HomePod mini. It outputs much more bass and can fill larger rooms with ease. You can pair two second-generation HomePods together in a stereo pair for robust sound.
