I asked the other day about home audio setups under £250. Sonos was the most popular answer but it seems to be out my budget (4 rooms).

Google mini’s are £22 each. I could get one in every room, plus bathrooms, & still have money left over.

All I need is to play audio, mostly Spotify, from my TV, phone & desktop. Pretty sure this’ll do that.

For my TV, (By chance, I’ve gotten a Google Chromecast), which I think could link to these but I need to research that more.

Am I missing anything or would this be a good setup for me?

    The Google home assistant will have you swearing at it at least once a day… same with Siri

    Alexa’s wake word is too common so it gets triggered constantly, but actually realizes it was a false negative and doesn’t say anything, google will trigger then start doing whatever was said even though it’s obviously not directed at it.

    The screens tend to be better than the minis at this stuff. I’d avoid it if you can. I use one mini in the bathroom, and honestly it was only because it was sitting in a drawer not being used, so if it dies due to steam, oh well!
