    Not a bad price but it's worth mentioning that if you are thinking of using these for music the google nest mini has noticably better sound. Having bought both I wouldn't buy another home mini.

    Neither are great for music though

    I have both, and can't say I've noticed much difference in audio quality from either tbh, however in saying that, they're a mile behind the sound quality from the echo dot I also have in the house - and they're in an entirely different league from the quality of the Google home I have in my dining room.

    Couple of things on the sound...

    I found wall mounting them makes a big difference. I think the sound is a bit directional and can get a bit lost if they're sat on a horizontal surface

    And pairing two for stereo makes a big difference. I swapped the larger home for two minis in stereo and prefer it. The bass is worse, no doubt about it, but I find the sound cleaner overall. Admittedly that approach doubles the price though, I only did it when youtube gave away free ones

    I've used mymemory a few times and their shipping has always been extremely slow. I always got what I ordered but it took ages

    My memory ship from jersey I think, 8 days probably isn't unusual from what I remember.

    Great. Thanks

    I did have an order that got lost from them once and I actually forgot about it for a few weeks. Its was a bargain alert from here for power banks. They resent them when I then though. Good to deal with
