There is a new and cheap way to buy Sonos wifi speakers and I bought it from IKEA.<\/p>\n

Symfonisk bookcase speakers are the second of two new products created in partnership with Swedish furniture manufacturer Ikea and the American premium multi-room audio expert Sonos.<\/p>\n

With five Symfonisk table lamps, the new bookshelf speaker (two hardback book sizes) leverages Ikea's design knowledge to surpass Sonos' best-in-class wifi speaker platform. As a result, the cost of entering the low cost new Sonos ecosystem was only \u00a3 99 and reduced Sonos Play by \u00a3 50.<\/p>\n

If the table lamp is a more obvious piece of furniture, then bookshelf speakers are at least more traditional audio products on the surface. The plastic case comes in a gray fabric speaker grill or black in white. The small Ikea-Sonos fabric label highlights the front of the top, and the LED is between the three buttons at the bottom to manage the pause \/ play and volume.<\/p>\n

It can be used as a regular Wi-Fi speaker, access the power socket from anywhere, and set up and operate using Sonos' excellent systems and apps.<\/p>\n

That means other Sonos-compatible speakers, simple multi-room operation, the ability to stream from various 121 music services or Apple AirPlay 2, voice control via Google Home or Amazon Echo, long history of software and feature updates.<\/p>\n

You can also pair the two for stereo separation and use it with the Sonos TV speaker system as part of the 5.1 surround sound setup.<\/p>\n

But you can also use IKEA's brackets to mount the speakers in a rack or turn them into small shelves that can hold up to 3 kg of stuff. The rear of the speaker has two holes for mounting brackets, and the power and Ethernet sockets (optional) are equipped with cable guides embedded in them.<\/p>\n

There is no rear base port or vents. In other words, you can experience full sound as long as the front fabric panel of the speaker is not blocked.<\/p>\n

When it reached the cost of only 99 pounds, I had to cut something out and the quality was sound quality. Symfonisk speakers are not as good as \u00a3 149 Sonos Play: 1 or \u00a3 199 Sonos One or actually \u00a3 150 Symfonisk table lamps.<\/p>\n

But still, with all the clarity and punch you'd expect from a sonos, it creates a sound that fills the space, so there's no bass and abundance you can get with expensive speakers.<\/p>\n

The sound is quite directional, so it's suitable for placing at one end of the room like a regular speaker instead of a center speaker like many smart speakers.<\/p>\n
