You get what you pay for
on October 17, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is not a stellar sound bar. But it gets the job done. I have an LG TV and hooked this up via Optical. I have sound coming from the TV as well as this (to create amore dynamic effect).
If you are looking to increase speech volume over background sounds/music/explosions/etc, then skip this one as it does not have enough channels to isolate vocals.

So much better than the trackpad
on October 17, 2019
Posted by: RavingDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
Something about a mouse. I have the Magic Trackpad as well, and I strictly use the mouse now. Built in Gesture capability makes this a solid accessory. Plus it uses my mac's built in bluetooth, so no dongle is necessary for pairing.

cheaper than the smaller one

Verified Purchase:Yes
So far so good. This one is cheaper than the one with the hidden control panel (which failed on me after 1.5 years...)
This one is bigger and was $50 cheaper.

A true Horror film

Horror movies these days just don't get it. This movie is by and far, the scariest movie I've seen (and that's not just from the obvious trauma faced from watching this as a 5 year old).

Jam-packed with innovation, HomePod mini fills the entire room with rich 360-degree audio. Place multiple speakers around the house for a connected sound system.~ And with Siri, your favorite do-it-all intelligent assistant helps with everyday tasks and controls your smart home privately and securely.~
 

Is there a “listen” feature? So that one might listen for an elderly person or child without them needing to say “hey Siri”?

Negative. You would need An actual monitor or to use your phone as a workaround. This would open up a lot of "wiretapping" concerns if it was an inherent feature.

Place multiple speakers around the house for a connected sound system.~ With Siri, your do-it-all intelligent assistant helps with everyday tasks and controls your smart home privately and securely.~ And HomePod mini works seamlessly with your iPhone.
 

Will it ring if you get a call on your phone ?

Negative. You can make calls and send texts, but it will not inherently ring as if it was a landline.

I have a 6th gen IPad and my son wants to use a wireless mouse! Do you have a bluetooth mouse that is compatible with an IPad. Thank you

only the iPad pro's support the use of a mouse. And even then, they are VERY clunky. I recommend a stylus if you are shying away from "finger to screen" contact.
