In May, it was revealed that, after more than six years, Sonos and Ikea were ending their partnership and would no longer produce any more Symfonisk speakers.
This was a big deal because not only were these speakers uniquely designed — disguised as bookshelves, lamps and wall art — but they were also the most affordable Sonos speakers you could buy. They had the guts of a Sonos One and started at just $100 (although most now sell for nearly double that).
For Sonos fans, there’s no real news that can act as a reprieve, although Ikea continues to sell these Symfonisk speakers, as their stock has not yet dried up.
But for Ikea fans who love uniquely designed speakers that are easy to use and super affordable, there’s good news: the Swedish furniture giant just announced two new Bluetooth speakers for the home. And, if Spotify is your streaming service of choice, they both have a convenient feature.
Ikea Blomprakt
First up, there’s the Ikea Blomprakt. It’s a powered Bluetooth speaker that doubles as a tabletop lamp, and it’s designed for your desktop or nightstand.
