This hidden Wi-Fi speaker feature has blown my mind — here’s why you should demand it in all your audio gear

I’ve spent years testing wireless speakers and I’m always struck by how methodically and incrementally brands seem to add new features. You’re lucky if you get a new line of speakers every five years from many companies – and that means there’s not quite the same arms race to develop new features that you see with gadgets such as phones.

But when testing the WiiM Sound Lite recently, there was one hidden feature I stumbled upon that seriously piqued my interest: parametric EQ.

Unless you buy one of the best wireless speakers, not many devices have absolutely spot-on sonic balance out of the box. As a result, I’m always keen to experiment with EQ to even out errant frequencies.
