A:AnswerI have both and the HomePod mini sounds better in my opinion. Sound is subjective and you may come to a different conclusion. I would recommend checking it out, if you're in the Apple ecosystem, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
A:AnswerYou can select audio output to the HomePod Mini for music, movies and even phone calls as a speaker phone. Depending on the app you are using you will most likely select the Air Play option and choose your HomePod Mini for audio output.
I tested Netflix on my iPad and what you will need to do is start playing your media then swipe down from the top right of your iPad to access Control Center. It will show the Netflix options with an Air Play button, click on this and you can select HomePod Mini for audio output.
