WiiM Targets Sonos With First Smart Speaker and Sub
WiiM dips its toes into the Smart Speaker arena with WiiM Sound and launches the WiiM Sub Pro subwoofer in Munich.
While the WiiM Amp Ultra is familiar territory for the ever-expanding company, WiiM Sound and WiiM Sub Pro are very new. In fact, these new products are presented as "a pivotal evolution in the WiiM ecosystem."
The WiiM Sound is a high-resolution smart speaker with a touchscreen display, "high-fidelity" streaming support, and built-in room correction. Meanwhile, the WiiM Sub Pro, a 250W subwoofer that offers bass with auto room correction and flexible wired or wireless connectivity.
Both products are designed to work as part of, or independently from, the WiiM operating system, unified by the WiiM Home App.
Dr Lifeng Zhao, CEO of WiiM, told StereoNET:
With the launch of WiiM Sound and WiiM Sub Pro, we're filling a major gap in the market where high-fidelity audio, multi-room connectivity, user-friendliness and affordability rarely meet.
WiiM Sound is a compact speaker (146x146x193mm) that is said to be capable of producing 100W output through a 4-inch woofer and dual-balanced mode radiator tweeters. The unit offers up to 24-bit/192 kHz high-resolution streaming with the promise of "exceptional sound quality" alongside Chromecast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, DLNA, or Alexa Cast support. Connectivity is via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet.
You can control playback directly via the 1.8-inch high-resolution touchscreen or the WiiM Home App, which enables automatic room correction, EQ customisation, and preset management for a personalised listening experience. You can access playlists, adjust the volume, or move the music to another room through the app.
Finally, you can add multiple WiiM Sound speakers throughout your home for a true multi-room vibe, with music playing in every space and effortlessly controlled through the WiiM Home App or by asking Google or Alexa.
WiiM Sub Pro is a 250W subwoofer with an 8-inch driver and Class-D amplifier, which is claimed to have a frequency range of 25Hz–200Hz.
The Sub Pro also includes automatic room correction, an RCA input for flexible connectivity, and supports audio streaming via Wi-Fi 6E or Bluetooth 5.3 through the WiiM Home App.
Again, the WiiM Home App also enables access to the popular streaming services, multirooom / multidevice control, and all the expected playback operations.
WiiM Sound and Sub Pro will be available in Q3 2025 and showcased at Hall 2, Stand G07 of the Munich High End Show.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
