The HomePod mini is a portable version of Apple’s HomePod, but that doesn’t make it a portable smart speaker. Since it requires power and Wi-Fi to work, people typically plug their HomePod mini into a wall socket and leave the speaker in one place. But you could also move your HomePod mini around the house and use it as a portable speaker for your home. That’s exactly what the folks over at MacStories have done with their HomePod mini, which they aptly call the RoamPod.

Their idea is simple: Buy a HomePod mini accessory with a built-in battery, and use that to make the device portable. If you could take the HomePod with you from room to room, you might not need to buy extra speakers for your home, including extra HomePod minis: the one you have can simply move with you.

To make your HomePod mini “portable,” you’ll need a battery base, and you have two options: you can purchase the Mission Battery Base ($42 at the time of writing) or the PlusAcc Battery Base ($44 at the time of publication). The Mission Battery Base has better reviews on Amazon, but you’ll want to read the reviews for yourself before making a decision. According to buyers, the PlusAcc product muffles sound and has a shorter battery life, both of which could be deal breakers. Once you’ve decided on an accessory, it’s pretty much plug and play. You’ll enjoy great sound quality, the HomePod mini’s ability to play audio directly from Apple Music or send audio to the speaker via AirPlay.

That said, the HomePod mini can be a frustrating product to own. When it works, it’s great, but when it doesn’t, solutions aren’t always easy to find. If you have a house with multiple Wi-Fi routers or networks, you never really know which one the HomePod mini will connect to. Sometimes it will connect to a weaker signal and perform poorly, and the best thing you can do is reboot and try again.
