Add portability to your HomePod Minis

Update Feb 21/22… my initial review (immediately below) remains unchanged! The Mission Base pair works perfectly, adding portability to my HomePod Minis.

The Mission Base pair works perfectly, adding portability to my HomePod Minis. Recommended!***************Received the Mission Battery Base (2 x Black) a few days ago and thus far I’m very pleased with the way they’ve preformed.Some observations:1.) nicely and professionally packaged2.) right out of the box they had a solid, hefty feel to them… no flimsy, cheap plastic quality.3.) instructions were simple to follow and included on the outside of the box as well as on the instructions inside.4a.) the bottom of the Mission Battery Base is magnetic and attaches solidly without any latches or snaps.4b.) the power supply cord that is permanently attached to the HomePod mini is the perfect length to be wrapped around inside the Mission base and just long to fit into the slot on the mission base… i.e. no excess cord flopping around.4c.) AND the surface of the flat bottom base is also made out of a non-abrasive material… making it very unlikely to scratch or mark a wooden table or cabinet top!5.) Power Supply… there is a USB-C cord (60 inches) that comes with the Mission Battery Base unit that you plug one end into your wall outlet (USB-C) and the other end into the slot on the Mission Battery Base.6a.) the unit has a power on/off button that when turned on, light a series of 4 soft blue glo lights to show charge level.6b.) these 4 blue lights are very dim (to me at least) but if they seemed too bright for bedtime, the front face of the Mission Battery Base can be turned away from direct line-of-sight because the HomePods broadcast in 360° direction.7.) the HomePod minis fit snuggly into the Mission Base and would not come out even when turned upside down and shaken.8.) and maybe most important to me, the Mission Battery Base gave me the portability for my HomePod Minis that I was looking for. Now I can move them from room to room or to my outside patio and have my music/podcasts (in stereo) wherever I want.In conclusion… a wonderful asset for the HomePod minis and an almost ‘must-have’ if you love your HomePod Minis and want more versatility in your listening options.I’m surprised Apple didn’t think of something like this when they developed the HomePod Minis… seems like a ‘no brainer’ to me.
