Sonos Rival: Best Alternative Speaker System

Okay, here’s a breakdown of the text provided,⁣ focusing on the key‍ information⁣ about the WiiM Sound smart speaker.

Overall‍ impression:

The WiiM Sound is presented as a strong⁣ competitor ‍to established smart speaker brands like Sonos and Apple. ⁤It differentiates itself ⁢with ⁢a unique ⁤circular touchscreen and ⁤ease of‍ use. A⁤ “Lite” version is also coming out, offering a more affordable option.

Key Features & Benefits:

* touchscreen: A key ⁤selling point. It’s‍ described as ⁢surprisingly useful for controlling settings and⁢ EQ directly on the speaker,⁤ rather than only through the app.
* ⁤ Ease of Setup: The app setup process is described ‍as “a breeze.”
* ⁢ Controls: Top-mounted playback and volume controls with a sensor that illuminates the buttons.
* Remote ⁣Control: Included, though⁢ not strictly ⁣necessary due to⁢ app control.
* Sound Quality: The speaker “shines” in audio quality (details on how it shines are cut ⁢off in the provided text).
* Design: Stylish, but the mesh grille‍ isn’t as minimalist as some⁤ competitors.

WiiM Sound Lite:

* Price: $229
* ⁣ availability: December 25th
* differences: Same power as the standard WiiM Sound, but without the touchscreen and remote.

Comparison to Competitors:

*⁤ Sonos Era: The WiiM Sound’s grille isn’t as minimalist⁤ as Sonos speakers.
* ⁣ ⁤ Apple HomePod: the wiim ⁢Sound’s grille isn’t as colorful ⁤as Apple’s speakers.
* Sonos: WiiM Sound stands ‍out ‍from Sonos ⁣”thanks to the clever,circular touchscreen”.
