Buzzy Audio Brand WiiM’s First Smart Speaker Makes for a Compelling Sonos Alternative

WiiM may not be a household name, but it’s long been a buzzy brand among audio enthusiasts, particularly for its affordable offerings. It’s best known for its music streamers, which turn powered speakers or stereo systems into WiFi-enabled multiroom speakers.

Earlier this year, the brand came out with the WiiM Sound, and it followed it up with the Sound Lite last week. Here’s what you need to know about WiiM’s speakers, and how they stack up to rivals like Sonos.
