The WiiM Sound Lite smart speaker has been launched by the brand as a flagship audio-inspired piece of hardware that responds to increasing calls from consumers for high-end equipment that doesn't break the bank.
The speaker is inspired by the WiiM Sound unit that recently launched, but embraces a more affordable price point that still offers access to Hi-Res audio with up to 100W of peak output. The speaker can be used on its own or paired with an additional unit to create a stereo setup for immersive musical experiences or as part of a 5.1 home cinema setup.
The WiiM Sound Lite smart speaker comes in white and black finish options, and is priced at £229 with preorders being taken now with shipments slated to start in January 2026.
