- IKEA’s Sonos partnership has ended
- It is not done with sound
- It unveiled a tiny new $10 speaker
IKEA’s Sonos partnership, the one that helped create the eye-catching Symfonisk, has ended, but IKEA has used everything it learned from the audio giant to build a speaker unlike anything Sonos has ever delivered.
Unveiled here at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, the Kallsup is a small, almost palm-sized Bluetooth speaker that delivers decent sound (we only heard one of them play for a moment). And it only costs $9.99.
That’s right, in response to the dearly departed Sonos, which makes some expensive but fantastic audio products, IKEA has released a range of colorful $10 sound boxes.
As is IKEA custom, the Kallsup plastic cube speakers come in a range of eye-catching colours, including lime, green, pink and white. They have sharp edges, a grid surface for the individual speaker and a few buttons on top for pairing and playing. They are also lightweight and stackable.
Despite the entry price, the speakers support Bluetooth 5.3, and you can connect up to 100 of them with just the push of a button on each cube.

Battery life is rated at 20 hours at 50% volume, and although they run on rechargeable batteries that you recharge via Kallsup’s USB-C port, you can replace them with traditional batteries, extending the life of these cute little sound cubes indefinitely.

The Kallsup joins some of IKEA’s other homegrown and seemingly more expensive and powerful speakers, including the mushroom-shaped Kalglass Bluetooth speaker and lamp combo and the Solskydd wall disc.
Prices will vary outside the US when Kallsup arrives in April.
