Third-party collaborations often end up with some features missing, but not so with the Ikea Symfonisk Bookshelf Speaker, which is a full Sonos speaker. Ikea Symfonisk Bookshelf Speaker Features – Full Sonos compatibility Available in black or white, the simple casing and material speaker cover will fit in with any decor. Fortunately, the Symfonisk Bookshelf Speaker looks great, too. If you’re after a speaker that can better integrate into your home, you’d be hard-pressed to find better. That’s a huge amount of flexibility and more than I’ve seen from any competition. You can sit the speaker flat if that’s more convenientĪlternatively, you can use the brackets and hang the speaker off of the kitchen utensil hanging rail. Cutouts in the back of the case make sure that the power cable doesn’t get in the way and the speaker sits flush to the wall. There are also wall brackets available, so you can use the Ikea Symfonisk Bookshelf Speaker as an actual bookcase, holding up to 3kg of weight. Out of the box, you can stand the tall and thin speaker (310 x 100 x 150mm) upright like a book, or you can lay it flat, more like the centre speaker in a home cinema setup. As a result, the Bookshelf Speaker is the most flexible wireless speaker that I’ve tested.
