Best accessories for HomePod mini 2022

The HomePod mini offers incredible sound for its size, but what if you could use it for movies or shows? You can with the Apple TV 4K, which we reviewed and loved. Through AirPlay 2, you can beam your content's sound wirelessly to one or more HomePod minis, and you can set it as your TV's default speaker for even more things like apps and games.

Perfect for kitchens or bathrooms, the STANSTAR Outlet Wall Mount allows you to get your speaker up and off the counters. This easy-to-install mount hangs from the HomePod mini's power adapter plugged into a standard outlet — no tools required. In addition, built-in cable management gives the whole package a clean, mess-free look.

The compact HomePod mini is already easy to haul around, but the speaker's mesh is susceptible to stains and damage if you are not careful. The YWL Hard Case gives you a place to store your HomePod mini and its power adapter while out and about, providing shock protection, water-proofing, and dust resistance with durable EVA construction.

Mission's clever stand sports a rechargeable battery that allows the HomePod mini to work wire-free for up to nine hours. An internal cable management system keeps the power cable nice and tidy, and a secure grip holds your HomePod mini in place. Plus — thanks to the magic of AirPlay 2 — you can keep the tunes going even without a Wi-Fi connection.

While protecting your HomePod mini is critical, the furniture or surfaces that your speaker rests on is equally important. This silicone stand from Spigen provides a shock-absorbing layer that prevents vibrations, protecting surfaces like wood from rings and stains. The unique stand also allows you to position your HomePod mini so you can see if Siri is active from across the room.

The only thing that isn't mini with the HomePod mini is its eye-sore of a USB-C power adapter. Anker's 30-watt PowerPower Atom III Slim gives your HomePod mini the juice it needs in a flat form, allowing you to fit your speaker's plug into tight spaces like behind your couch.

iBlason's Cosmo stand combines a HomePod mini stand with an Apple Watch charging dock, creating a fantastic bedside companion. In addition, the Cosmo features a smooth silicone exterior and an indention for the HomePod mini that reduces slipping and scratches, and cable management allows you to store both power cords neatly.

Another accessory that helps get your HomePod mini up and out of the way, this mount for Delidgi allows you to attach your speaker to walls and other flat surfaces. Hidden cable management keeps your extra cord safely hidden underneath, and installation is quick and easy with the included screws and anchors.

Nanoleaf's Essentials A19 Light Bulb connects to your HomePod mini via the latest wireless connectivity standard, Thread, making it one of the best HomeKit light bulbs that you can buy today. With Thread, toggling power to Nanoleaf's bulb, dimming its insane brightness levels, or switching between millions of fun colors through HomeKit takes effect instantly with incredible reliability, as we noted in our hands-on review.

The Eve Energy HomeKit smart plug, which we tested, makes almost anything in your home instantly smart — just plug and play. Like the Nanoleaf's light bulb, the Eve Energy smart plug takes advantage of the Thread radio built into the HomePod mini. It also supports energy monitoring to keep tabs on how much your coffee maker or heater costs to keep running.
