#HOW TO AIRPLAY FROM MAC ON NORTON PORTABLE#
You need to plug the Apple speakers we've tested into a power source for use, so they're more suitable as home speakers than portable speakers. They have fairly balanced sound profiles out-of-the-box, though. The Apple speakers we've tested don't have an EQ to let you tweak their sound profile. If the speaker and your iOS device are on the same Wi-Fi, you can stream audio content using this configuration. Still, you can use Bluetooth for audio handoff, which lets you transfer audio from your iPhone to the speaker. Apple speakers don't support Bluetooth pairing for playing audio content.

Can't easily stream audio content over Bluetooth.

That said, they have to downmix stereo content into mono, resulting in a less immersive-sounding soundstage. Generally, the Apple speakers we've tested have incredible directivity thanks to their 360-degree design, resulting in soundstages perceived as open and spacious. Siri can usually understand you even if you're far away, though some Apple speakers perform better in noisier environments than others. Apple speakers typically come with a built-in Siri voice assistant. The speaker and your iPhone both need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network to use Apple AirPlay. Generally, Apple speakers support Apple AirPlay, so you can pair your iPhone to the speaker to wirelessly play audio content. There's also little compression at max volume, so your audio remains clean and clear-sounding when you max out its volume. That said, while it doesn't get very loud, it should be loud enough to use in a small bedroom or on your desk. Also, while it supports Bluetooth, it's only for audio handoff, which lets you transfer your music from your phone to the speaker by tapping your iPhone atop the speaker, so you can't pair your audio source to the speaker via Bluetooth. Like most speakers its size, it lacks thump in the low-bass range, and there isn't a graphic EQ or presets to customize its sound to your liking. Also, you can use it to connect it to multiple other speakers when you want your audio to fill a large room without increasing its volume. You can use its Apple Home App to pair it to another compatible speaker to create a stereo pair. Thanks to its 360-degree design, it has fantastic directivity, resulting in a wide and spacious-sounding soundstage. However, higher-pitched voices and instruments sound dull at times.

Its mid-range is balanced, so vocals and lead instruments sound clear and present in the mix, making this speaker good for dialogue-heavy audio content like audiobooks and podcasts. You can activate Siri with your voice, and it can register your commands from far away or in noisier rooms. It's a small spherical smart speaker with Siri built-in it's for use at home. The Apple HomePod mini is the best Apple speaker we've tested.
