WiiM Sound
Sonos Play
The Sonos Play and the WiiM Sound are aimed at different kinds of buyers. The Sonos is the better all-around choice if you want one speaker for both home and travel: it has a built-in battery, an IP67 rating, AirPlay support, and hands-free Alexa, making it much more versatile around the house, on a patio, or packed for a weekend away. The WiiM Sound is a wired home speaker, so it isn't trying to win that fight. Instead, it's a better fit if you want a stationary streaming hub with deeper app control, lots of sound customization options, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi playback, and a wired Ethernet connection. Just note that the WiiM lacks AirPlay.
