The WiiM Sound represents a significant advancement in the smart speaker market, making its debut on May 14, 2025, as the company’s first self-designed entry into the premium audio segment. The device emerges as a direct competitor to Apple’s HomePod, offering high-resolution wireless streaming capabilities at 24-bit/192 kHz quality, alongside proprietary RoomFit technology that automatically optimizes audio output based on room acoustics. The company’s dedication to providing affordable audio solutions makes high-end sound accessible to a wider audience.
Technical specifications reveal extensive connectivity options, including Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and a 100 Mbps Ethernet port, ensuring stable streaming across various platforms. The speaker supports universal casting through multiple services, including Chromecast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, DLNA, and Alexa Cast, all the while maintaining compatibility with the broader WiiM ecosystem of audio products. The compact 5.7″ x 5.7″ x 7.5″ dimensions make it an ideal fit for any room setup. Similar to the Class-D amplification found in premium soundbars, the WiiM Sound delivers powerful, efficient audio performance.
The device’s versatility extends to its multi-room and home theater capabilities, allowing users to create stereo pairs or integrate it into a Dolby 5.1 setup. When paired with the WiiM Sub Pro, the system delivers improved bass performance, at the same time maintaining the flexibility to expand through additional WiiM streamers and amplifiers.
Audio enthusiasts will appreciate the speaker’s extensive customization options, featuring 24 preset EQ profiles and both 10-band graphic and parametric EQ adjustments. The WiiM Home App provides thorough control over these features, including Smart Preset functionality and regular firmware updates that introduce new capabilities.
The WiiM Sound’s premium construction and modern aesthetic mirror the HomePod’s design language while establishing its own identity in the high-resolution, multi-room smart audio market. Its standalone operation capability, requiring no phone for basic functions, demonstrates WiiM’s commitment to user convenience without compromising audio quality.
This strategic market entry positions WiiM as a serious contender in the premium smart speaker segment, offering audiophile-grade performance with smart functionality. The integration with WiiM’s expanding product ecosystem, including streamers, amplifiers, and subwoofers, suggests a long-term commitment to the high-end audio market segment.
