In this collaboration between IKEA and Sonos, WiFi speakers have found their way into floor lamps with bamboo shades, table lamps with smoked glass, picture frames and bookshelf units, letting high-quality sound blend into every corner of your home.

Thanks to Sonos's audio engineering the speaker is well balanced, with a rounded sound that is significantly better than many simpler Bluetooth speakers. Up to about 70% volume it has punchy bass, warm treble and nicely detailed highs.

How to use SYMFONISK bookshelf speaker. You can play or pause the sound with the built-in controls on the foot of the table lamp. Press the play button twice to skip to the next track and three times to go back to the previous track. Use the +/- buttons to adjust the volume up or down.

The Symfonisk bookshelf speaker is the second of two new products born of a partnership between the Swedish furniture manufacturer Ikea and the American premium multiroom audio specialists Sonos.

1. Offering the lowest prices. Cost effectiveness is one of the solid bases of IKEA competitive advantage. The global furniture retailer is able to offer low prices thanks to a combination of economies of scale and technological integration into various business processes.

We still believe like he did, that most things still remain to be done. Simply put, IKEA home furnishing is beautiful because it is well-designed, functional, quality, affordable, and sustainable. Our stores use our product range to create solutions that are relevant and affordable to you.

Individually, a SYMFONISK speaker cannot connect to a TV directly for audio purposes as it doesn't have any outputs. However, if you utilise a Sonos soundbar, or Sonos speaker purchased directly from Sonos, it can connect for TV audio.

The Bottom Line. The Ikea Symfonisk Bookshelf offers an excellent, affordable introduction to multiroom music and is at its best when used as rears for a Sonos sound bar.

SYMFONISK speakers need a WiFi connection, while ENEBY speakers use Bluetooth to connect to your music device.
