Sonos Era 100
WiiM Sound
The Sonos Era 100 and the WiiM Sound are both wired home speakers with strong app support, but they're designed for different ecosystems. The Sonos is designed to fit into the Sonos ecosystem, and if you're already invested in that, it's a polished choice. It offers built-in Alexa, Apple AirPlay, and a fuller low-end than the WiiM. It also gets louder, which helps if you're filling a larger living room or open space. If you're more ecosystem agnostic, the WiiM Sound is a compelling alternative. It offers numerous ways to customize the sound, access to a host of music streaming services, including self-hosted ones like Plex. Its voice assistant support comes from its remote, not the body of the speaker. You may or may not prefer that. If you want an easy Sonos home speaker, get the Era 100. If you want a customizable streaming box with speakers built in, the WiiM makes more sense.
