    Description:
    IKEA's moved on from Sonos, but now it has its own line of adorable and cheap speakers.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================IKEA's Sonos partnership is over It's not done with audio It unveiled a tiny new $10 speaker

    IKEAs Sonos partnership, the one that helped create the eye-catching
    Symfonisk , is over, but IKEA has used everything it learned from the audio giant to build a speaker thats nothing like anything Sonos has ever
    delivered.

    Unveiled here at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Kallsup is a small, almost palm-sized Bluetooth speaker that delivers decent audio (we only heard one of them play for a few moments). And it costs just $9.99. Image 1 of 4 (Image credit:

    Thats right, in answer to the dearly departed Sonos, which makes some pricey but fantastic audio products, IKEA delivered a line of colorful, $10 audio sound boxes.

    As is IKEAs custom, the Kallsup plastic cube speakers come in a variety of eye-catching colors, including lime, green, pink, and white. They feature sharp edges, one grille face for the single speaker, and a pair of buttons on top for pairing and play. They're also lightweight and stackable.

    Despite the entry-level price, the speakers support Bluetooth 5.3, and you
    can connect up to 100 of them with just the press of a button on each cube. (Image credit: Future) TechRadar will be extensively covering this year's CES , and will bring you all of the big announcements as they happen. Head over

    Battery life is rated at 20 hours at 50% volume, and even though they run off rechargeable batteries, which you recharge via the Kallsup's USB-C port, you can replace them with traditional batteries, extending the life of these cute little audio cubes indefinitely.

    The Kallsup joins some of IKEAs other home-grown and ostensibly pricier and more powerful speakers, including the mushroom-shaped Kalglass Bluetooth speaker and lamp combo and the Solskydd wall disc.

    Pricing will vary outside the US when the Kallsup arrives in April.
