After years of flat pharmite, the unlikely but clever cooperation between Sonos and Ikea is officially over. The Symphonic The line -up – these sneaky bookshelf speakers, table lamps that played music, and even the strange wall art with hidden woofers – is fell out of Ikea shops around the world. As soon as the current inventory has disappeared, it is. There are no new models on the roadmap. The good news? If you already have one, you will continue to receive software updates. But if you wanted to add more Swedish sound furniture to your home, it is better to act quickly – as soon as it is gone, it is gone.
Sonos and Ikea started their unlikely cult of design in 2019 and started the first Symfonisk speakers – in disguise, or the loudspeakers who pretended to be furniture depending on the mood. The idea was simple: hide your speakers in sight so that they could summon the gods of the multi-room audio quietly without fighting with their minimalist Scandinavian altar.
The 99 dollar booklet spokesman: not just a shelf, but a sonos that can be crying under Dani Midsummer
The first Symfonisk loudspeakers were the 99 dollar spokesman spokesman who literally served as a actual shelf -and the 179 dollar lamp loudspeaker that looked like something Dani from Midsummer Would sob your ex under the torch. Both had the same guts as the old sonos game: 1, which made them the cheapest ticket in the Sonos ecosystem – if they were cool with their loudspeaker, the pretending to be furniture.
Over the years, Sonos and Ikea expanded their strange charming Symfonisk line -up – like a Swedish hockey team that would simply not be canceled. They dropped versions of the original bookstore and table lamp speaker of the second generation and in 2021 really leaned into the cladding game with the picture frame WLAN speaker, which looked like modern art, but sounded like a sonos.
By 2022 the loudspeaker of the floor lamp arrived – yes, another loudspeaker that hid in the lighting because apparently shelves and tables were not underhanded.
Some of them were hits, especially the bookshelf speaker and the picture frames. You could combine two of them as a back area in a Sonos home cinema setup, which makes it more useful than a backhand by Henrik Zetterberg. Honestly, if the lateBorje Salming Were there to decorate his place in Stockholm, he probably had played two of them in the corners. Long live the king.
No panic! Tord Bunderland didn’t leave you
For those among them who have already accepted this Minimalist audio Lifestyle with Symfonisk speakers, no panic –onos confirmed this Gain You will always support your speakers “for many years”. Ikea will continue to sell them until the supplies have expired. So if you were on the fence, it is time to grab a couple before they are faster than a Swedish hockey team in a outlier.
And let’s be real: those were the the least Painful IKEA products to assemble, which says something if you have ever tried to put together something from business towards the international airport in Newark. You know that with the café, which is almost as famous for its coffee as it is, when it comes to the fact that aircraft give the start and landing in the inside (as long as the traffic controllers are awake). Take a speaker, enjoy the view and maybe make sure that you are not sitting under a flight before you start your next home cinema project.
And let’s not forget that the IKEA oboegenadtakt table-a further quirky cooperation that hardly made a dent in the audiophile world and proves that even Swedish flat packs can turn a record without shaking too much.
The end result
The Symfonisk speakers are still a solid business compared to other Sonos options, but they are a little more expensive than the first start. The bookshelf spokesman (Gen 2) now costs 120 US dollars -20 US dollars more than the original. But we give recognition where it is due: Sonos and Ikea brought a better sound that probably believed that “audio quality” ensured that her Subaru began and her callax was just. So, Hej Då in the collaboration – but at least it made people take care of the assembly of their furniture.
