You should be able to set it up unaided. Something very helpful would be the apple 4 tv tutorial sold by MMystic Access. I think it sells for $40 or so. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Tom Cramer Sent: Saturday, November 28, 2020 6:05 PM To: viphone

Actually, I have used my Aftershokz Treks Airs with a mask without difficulty, but if you are looking for a tiny ear bud, check out the Racon E25. They are very tiny and fit snugly in your ear. They normally sell for $79, but they are running holiday specials. www.buyracon.com Andy -

Hi, You can link the HomePod with the HomePod mini to play the same music in different rooms. You cannot create a stereo pair using a regular HomePod and a HomePod Mini. You have to have two of the same type of Homepods to create a stereo pair. I use my HomePods to primarily play Apple Music,
