The Sonos and Ikea partnership announced in December is now bearing fruit in the shape of speakers. The non-functional prototypes on display at Ikea’s Democratic Design Days event in Sweden are illustrative examples of what you can expect from Ikea’s new SYMFONISK range. In other words, the final products may or may not look like the prototypes. Nevertheless, Sonos says that the final products will fully integrate with Sonos’ existing range of Wi-Fi speakers and Ikea’s “Home Smart” range of Trådfris smart devices, including lights, dimmers, and switches.

And because they’re designed for Ikea, at least one prototype features brackets that makes it possible to use as a shelf, or to attach beneath an Ikea kitchen cabinet, for example.

Ikea and Sonos have collaborated to create a new range of smart speakers called Symfonisk. The speakers are designed to lower the cost of entry into the Sonos ecosystem, which currently starts at $150. The Symfonisk range is expected to be cheaper than existing Sonos speakers. The non-functional prototypes on display at Ikea’s Democratic Design Days event in Sweden are designed to be used as shelves or attached beneath an Ikea kitchen cabinet. The goal of the collaboration is to save space, get rid of cords, make clutter invisible, and bring sound and music into the home in a more beautiful way.

In March 2019, Ikea released a poster that revealed the cheapest speaker in the Symfonisk range would cost DKK799, which is a little over $120[3]. In July 2019, Ikea released the Symfonisk lineup, which includes a speaker that doubles as a small bookshelf and a speaker lamp. The Symfonisk Table Lamp costs $179, while the Symfonisk Book-Shelf costs $99. Both speakers in the Symfonisk lineup connect to Wi-Fi and can be controlled through the Sonos app.

Overall, the Symfonisk range is a collaboration between Ikea and Sonos that aims to provide a more affordable entry point into the Sonos ecosystem. The range includes speakers that can be used as shelves or attached beneath an Ikea kitchen cabinet, as well as a speaker lamp and a bookshelf speaker. The speakers connect to Wi-Fi and can be controlled through the Sonos app.

The differences between the new Ikea Sonos speaker and existing Sonos speakers are as follows:

1. Design: The Ikea Sonos speaker has a shelf-style design and can be used as a shelf or attached beneath an Ikea kitchen cabinet[1]. On the other hand, the Sonos One SL has a more traditional speaker design.
2. Sound quality: According to a review by Gizmodo Australia, the Symfonisk bookshelf speaker sounds slightly worse when compared to the Sonos One and Play:1[3]. However, the Symfonisk lamp has a similar driver setup as the Sonos One.
3. Price: The Symfonisk range is designed to lower the cost of entry into the Sonos ecosystem, which currently starts at $150. The cheapest speaker in the Symfonisk range costs DKK799, which is a little over $120[3]. In comparison, the Sonos One SL costs $199.
4. Integration: Both the Ikea Symfonisk speakers and the Sonos One SL can be integrated into an existing Sonos system.
5. Features: The Symfonisk range includes speakers that can be controlled through the Sonos app and connect to Wi-Fi. The Sonos One SL also connects to Wi-Fi and can be controlled through the Sonos app.

In summary, the Ikea Sonos speaker has a shelf-style design, is cheaper than existing Sonos speakers, and can be used as a shelf or attached beneath an Ikea kitchen cabinet. However, it may have slightly worse sound quality than some Sonos speakers. Both the Ikea Symfonisk speakers and the Sonos One SL can be integrated into an existing Sonos system and connect to Wi-Fi.
