Abstract: A trip to Ikea is rarely fun, and neither is putting that damn cabinet together (unless you make it into a drinking game, but that comes with its own challenges). But once the lugging and the hammering and the cleanup is done, you have a pretty great EK...

Abstract: S onos Sonos and Ikea are kicking off what has the makings of a long-term partnership in August. Next month, you'll be able to purchase the Symfonisk table lamp speaker ($179) or Symfonisk bookshelf speaker ($99) from your local Ikea or from the home furn...
No smart assistant, No Bluetooth, Slightly thin bass
I can't pretend that Sonos has managed to perfectly recreate its classic sound in the £89/$99 Symfonisk, but it's done a decent job if you don't mind the compromise on the bass.That really makes the bookshelf appealing for two sets of people. First up, if...
The combination of price, sound quality and features is pretty hard to beat. Even if you're just after a good quality speaker you can control from your phone it's worth considering. But if you've after a multi-room system and have been sitting on the fenc...
Full-bodied, focused presentation, Fully integrated into Sonos ecosystem, Literally a bookshelf
Lacks some subtlety, Not the best Sonos audio
If that sounds altogether negative, it shouldn't. Those licking their lips at the prospect of nabbing a Sonos One-style performance at half the price will be disappointed, but there are still many of the hallmarks that make Sonos speakers so great.The Sym...

easy setup, flexible mounting, sounds good, Sonos control, wide support for music services, can be paired up, lower cost, optional ethernet
doesn't sound as good as a Play:1, no Bluetooth or line in, no builtin smart speaker functionality
Thanks to Ikea, it's never been cheaper to buy into the Sonos wifi speaker ecosystem. While the Symfonisk wifi bookshelf speaker doesn't quite reach the same audio highs of the Sonos Play:1, it's also a third cheaper, blends in better with home furnishing...

Flexible design, Sounds great, Has full Sonos compatibility
Lacks a bit of range
Verdict With its superb, flexible design, the Ikea Symfonisk Bookshelf Speaker is built to fit into your life: standing up, laying flat, acting as a bookshelf or hanging out from the kitchen utensil rack. Full Sonos compatibility gives it proper multi-roo...
For £99 and £150 respectively, Ikea's Sonos-inspired furniture speakers represent phenomenal value for money. And this is best illustrated by comparing them with other speakers you might be able to swing for about the same amount of money.Buy now from Ike...

Fully integrated into Sonos network, Bold, focused presentation, Quirky design,
Lacks a little refinement,
Strictly speaking, there is no other multi-room option at this price that can offer more in the way of these sonic facets, while still delivering such a bold and weighty presentation. Yet the performance still feels a little too blunt to be worthy of five...
