WiiM Home

I BlueSound and Sonos for many years. There is almost no comparison between those terrible apps and the excellent WiiM home app in 2025. My $1,000 Bluesound Powernode developed a buzzing sound in the subwoofer out. I had a WiiM Amp for some patio speakers but never really used it much until I had to swap out my critical listening syringes due to the BlueSound hardware failure. OMG I had no idea what I was missing!!! The WiiM home app not only works great and is easy to use, but it’s LOADED with amazing features. Whoever the product managers are at WiiM, as well as the software dev team, deserve accolades for their fantastic work. Using a calibrated mic, I used the WiiM amp to tune the sound for my room, and I have never in my life had such an amazing sounding Hi-Fi system, all from a little affordable WiiM Amp! I have now purchased the WiiM Ultra and am a total WiiM fan! Whoever is reading this from WiiM, you folks are amazing. Please keep it up and don’t let the finance and marketing people destroy this amazing app and system you have developed! Do not go the way of BlueSound and Sonos!

The WiiM Home app has great functionality for most average audio consumers. The functionality of the room correction opened my eyes to some of my room acoustic issues. It is not perfect but it is starting point to investigate further if you choose. You can check your room acoustics in minutes and the software can set a profile to compensate if necessary. I attached a 1TB hard drive to the WiiM Ultra with music, it indexed it without issues. It did take quite a while to do it, but once complete all my content is easily accessible in the app. You can browse all your content and play it instantly. The sub out capability works well and highly configurable to your needs/taste. The DAC section has several filters to suit your taste. You can create/save many profiles and presets which are easily available once created. I am really enjoying my WiiM Ultra for its value/ Ease of use/and functionality.

Am enjoying the sound quality from my WiiM Pro, which I set up to stream mainly from my QNAP NAS, with a Schiit Modi DAC, to a vintage integrated amp. The user interface, thus app, is good but still missing some features. Setup via the app was simple and fast, which is a big plus. Was up and running in a couple of minutes. I have a Plex server set up on my NAS with dlna support and was easily able to stream my music. Areas for improvement: It’s missing gapless playback for dlna but my understanding is that it’s coming. It doesn’t support existing playlists, though to be fair, other apps don’t either. As playlists need to be re-created, it’s a little inconvenient, and worse, looks like playlists created are only saved on the device they are created on. In my case, I created a playlist on my iPhone, so when switching to my iPad, the playlist was not there. Would be great if the playlists can be shared across devices. No landscape mode for now playing. My goal was to display songs playing via my iPad which I would sit on table next to my stereo, but only works in portrait, but for a tablet, landscape would be much better. Looking forward to more updates.
