Description:
The Eversolo SE100 is designed with Ikea furniture in mind, but with more sonic prowess than Ikeas own speakers.

FULL STORY ======================================================================Eversolo
has released the SE100 passive bookshelf speakers Hardware and specs fit for audiophiles Theyre designed to fit in Ikea Kallax shelves

One of the loudspeaker standouts of annual tech jamboree CES 2026 has been
the tiny $9.99 Ikea Kallsup , designed to be bought and used en masse. However, another brands new passive speakers show us what integration with Ikea furniture could really look like.

Audio hardware brand Eversolo has taken a rare foray into speakers, in the form of the brand-new SE100. These passive bookshelf speakers come in a pair so they are not, despite the brands name, forever on their own.

Eversolo generally sticks to hi-fi kit such as DACs (otherwise known as digital-analog converters), hi-res music players and amplifiers, and its
clear that the SE100 continue the brands focus on kit for audiophiles. Its specs include a 5.25-inch paper-pulp cone for textured sound, 25mm silk dome for clarity and a removable fabric grille that's designed for low
diffraction, which means they should remain acoustically invisible according to Eversolo although I'd rather take them off to see those glorious offset drivers. Something decidedly '1830s Daguerrotype camera' about them, no?

Judging by Eversolos product listing, another focus of the speakers is soundstage. While theyre wired and designed to be used alongside an
amplifier, so cant be spread out too far, theyre engineered to create a holographic soundstage in a range of spaces. The bookshelf speakers for one bookshelf especially: Ikea Kallax Fabulous fit, but I still prefer them with the grilles off (Image credit: Eversolo)

So far, so-fas (and other furniture) dont seem relevant so why was I talking about Ikea? Well, according to Eversolo, the SE100 are designed to fit seamlessly into the Ikea Kallax. If youre not well versed in your Ikea lingo, these are those grid-style shelves that arrange things into boxes (see
above). The SE100 fit perfectly into one of those boxes, without dead space around the sides.

Ikea has quite a few home-made speakers of its own now, ranging from standalone inexpensive shower-friendly Bluetooth boxes to options hidden in lamps, picture frames and lights. But as far as I can tell, Ikea has never released a set of speakers designed specifically to fit into the gaps in its furniture. The similarly named Kallsup, for example (don't get confused here Kallax is the shelving unit; Kallsup are those little $10 cube speakers), are designed to be portable, not in-shelf fixtures.

Of course, the SE100 will be just as pleasing to people who dont shop at the Swedish furniture giant, with the square speakers looking just as good in other spaces.

We dont have a release date quite yet, but expect them to release at some point through 2026. Theyll cost you $399 (roughly $300, AU$600), so theyre pricey, but not pricey pricey in the hi-fi scheme of things. When they do
come in, well see if theyve got the Kallax to fit into our best stereo speakers list .

Kallax themselves range in price, from little 2x1 box options for about $25, to gigantic 5x5 options and everything in between. Some even have TV stands
or tables built in.
