Like any other speaker or audio component, the WiiM bar supports a large number of streaming options and scalability at an affordable price (in this case $ 479).

WiiM Expands Home-Wide Ecosystem with New Sound Bar

WiiM Bar is the company’s first home theater speaker.

The company’s first sound bar features a 3.0.2 Atmos configuration that combines 8 drivers (front midwoofers, three front イーers, and two upア full range ト drivers) and four passiveドライバーators. This configuration can be extended to 3.1.2 by adding WiiM Sub Pro for $4949, and can be extended to 5.1.2ラウンド setup by adding two of its wireless sound or sound Liteスピーカー. Compatible with both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, it includes room correction, dialog enhancement, and night mode.

The design of the current soundbars offered by companies such as Sonos, Bose, and Samsung stands out because of the most sophisticated yet discreet, but WiiM Bar features a 2.1-inch round touch display in front and center. The Bar is not the first WiiM device that incorporates a touchscreen. WiiM Ultra Streamer, WiiMストリーミング Ultra Streaming A、ifier and WiiM Sound Speaker. I love the display that displays volume level, playback information, album art, etc. I also like to provide another way to control the sound bar. However, I don’t know how much it will help because it is almost near the sound bar when listening to the sound bar. There is also a capacitive button with lighting for volume, playback and pause, and source切り替え.

The connection includes a USB-A port that can be configured as HDMI eARC, light, line input, Ethernet, and audio input, audio output, or media storage. If you prefer remote control rather than controlling the app or soundbar, please use the included remote control.

Bar released in July is just the beginning and I'm totally looking forward to it. If WiiM follows the previous strategy, there is no doubt that you will get a step-up option in the second half of this year or the beginning of next year. However, even if not, the WiiM bar at $79 looks like a very good deal from the company knowing how to make a great sound product.
