While it doesn’t look like a speaker, it is more obvious than either Sonos’s small One bookshelf speaker or Ikea’s other wifi speakers, so it will have to fit in with your decor. ![]() I can certainly see the appeal of having a speaker hung out the way on a wall but whether you think it is art is another thing. It sounds really good for the money and a unique shape, too. It is easy to set up, simple to use, supports a wide range of music services and will be supported by the Sonos system for years to come. Ikea isn’t the first company to try to blend a speaker with wall art but it might be the most successful, thanks in no small part to Sonos’s audio and software magic and a comparatively low price. The Ikea/Sonos speaker costs £179 ( $199) and is available in black or white.įor comparison, the Symfonisk bookshelf speaker costs £89, the Symfonisk table lamp costs £150, the Sonos One SL costs £179, the Sonos One costs £199 and Sonos’s In-Wall speakers cost £599 for a pair but need to be built into the wall and connected to the separate £599 Amp. ![]() The frame doesn’t have any microphones, so while it can be controlled via Amazon’s Alexa or Google’s Assistant on another device or phone, it is not a smart speaker. There is an ethernet port in the back if you don’t want to use wifi. The body vibrates slightly when the volume is pushed beyond 80%.

Alternatively, you can use AirPlay 2 to stream straight from an iPhone, iPad or Mac, or Spotify Connect. The Sonos system supports practically every streaming music service, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and BBC radio, which can all be controlled via the Sonos app. The frame operates like any other Sonos speaker streaming music over wifi, not Bluetooth, and can be grouped with any other Ikea or Sonos speakers you might have to play music simultaneously all over the house. You can even daisy-chain two with an optional £2 connection cord so that only one of the speakers needs to be plugged into a socket. The speaker can be used on its own or in a stereo pair. Photograph: Samuel Gibbs/The GuardianĪ simple five-minute process using the Sonos S2 app on an iPhone, iPad or Android had the speaker up and running: plug it in, open the app, tap the phone on the speaker where the LED flashes and the app will automatically configure wifi settings, updates and other bits. The little silicone rubber feet clip into the back of the speaker and can be placed on the long or short side depending on which way you want to stand the frame.
