The HomePod mini is priced the same as the Echo 4. Apple sure likes to charge a lot of money for their stuff. That's one of several reasons why I avoid Apple.

Yes they do! The full size HomePod is $300, twice what a Echo Studio costs right now on sale. Plus Apple rarely puts their devices on sale, unlike Amazon. The issue with the Echos and HomePods and other smallish speaker devices is that they are physically too small to separate the speakers enough to get good stereo sound, so you have to buy two and pair them. Personally I think a good old fashioned stereo system will outperform all of them, hands down! But they are still good for casual listening to music of course, but not what you would use at a party for entertainment. Thankfully I’m not that picky with music and speakers, so the Echos are good enough for my tastes. Hell, at my age I can barely hear them anyway! I’m sure my neighbors probably think I’m jamming out all the time, but in reality I’m just hard of hearing.
