Building the Future Together At WiiM, we believe your device should get better over time. We are sharing this roadmap to give you full visibility into our engineering pipeline—from active development to future concepts.


This isn't just our plan; it's yours. Your feedback on the WiiM Forum and via the WiiM Home App directly dictates our priorities. Below, you will find a consolidated view of what we have just delivered, what is currently on the workbench, and the major innovations on the horizon.


Disclaimer: This roadmap represents our current engineering goals and is subject to change based on technical feasibility and development shifts. We recommend making purchasing decisions based on the product's current capabilities, rather than unreleased features.
