  • IKEA's Sonos partnership is over
  • It's not done with audio
  • It unveiled a tiny new $10 speaker

IKEA’s Sonos partnership, the one that helped create the eye-catching Symfonisk, is over, but IKEA has used everything it learned from the audio giant to build a speaker that’s nothing like anything Sonos has ever delivered.

Unveiled here at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Kallsup is a small, almost palm-sized Bluetooth speaker that delivers decent audio (we only heard one of them play for a few moments). And it costs just $9.99.

That’s right, in answer to the dearly departed Sonos, which makes some pricey but fantastic audio products, IKEA delivered a line of colorful, $10 audio sound boxes.

As is IKEA’s custom, the Kallsup plastic cube speakers come in a variety of eye-catching colors, including lime, green, pink, and white. They feature sharp edges, one grille face for the single speaker, and a pair of buttons on top for pairing and play. They're also lightweight and stackable.

Despite the entry-level price, the speakers support Bluetooth 5.3, and you can connect up to 100 of them with just the press of a button on each cube.

Battery life is rated at 20 hours at 50% volume, and even though they run off rechargeable batteries, which you recharge via the Kallsup's USB-C port, you can replace them with traditional batteries, extending the life of these cute little audio cubes indefinitely.

The Kallsup joins some of IKEA’s other home-grown and ostensibly pricier and more powerful speakers, including the mushroom-shaped Kalglass Bluetooth speaker and lamp combo and the Solskydd wall disc.

Pricing will vary outside the US when the Kallsup arrives in April.
