Summary
$479 WiiM Bar is the company’s first soundbar, opening preorders ahead of a July launch with a glossy black finish.
The model packs a 3.0.2-channel layout with eight drivers, including top-firing height units that WiiM says deliver overhead Dolby Atmos effects; DTS:X is also supported.
RoomFit auto-correction tunes playback to the room, while the WiiM Home App adds EQ controls, multiroom links to other WiiM devices, and access to major streaming services.
HDMI eARC, a remote, and a 2.1-inch round touch display with album art and playback controls position the Bar as a TV-and-music hub.
At £449 in the UK, the Bar goes directly against Sonos’ Beam Gen 2, a leading compact Atmos soundbar in the same price bracket.
