And yeah the sound quality is great, Shame about the pricing but that’s what you get for quality products.

Those devices are all quite blind user friendly. I have not heard the Sonos speakers but I understand they have great sound, which comes at a pretty high price point, but may very well be worth the cost. If your primary music source is your iTunes library, then it makes sense to me to go with an Apple product for ease of use and compatibility. But, I have not delved into the Smart Speaker world myself.

Since I live alone I can move to another room and still hear my music, or a football game or radio station. I have a bit over 1800 square feet to roam and prefer not having to carry a device around whenever I wander. This way I can concentrate on my navigation. LOL! FYI I have set up Amazon, Google and Sonos speakers with no sighted assistance with very little or no trouble and know there will be no problem with the Home pods I plan to try when available. So it is nonsense to say we can’t do this.

For this reason, excuse my question. It may sound naïve to many of you. If one wants to get the Home Pod Mini, or any other smart speaker for that matter, but this person does not want to subscribe to any music streaming service, what would be the benefits of owning such a smart speaker? I understand that one can use it to airplay YouTube music or radio stations via the iPhone Bluetooth connection. Apart from that, what one can use the speaker as a standalone besides SIRI or Alexa? Is it worth for someone who has no intention to spend money on streaming services to buy a smart speaker like the Home Pod Mini? Apple mentioned that the home pod will be accessible via voice over. I do not know if this means it will be controlled via the voice over of the iPhone, or does it have voice over built into it. Does anyone know?
