IKEA Is Quietly Discontinuing This Smart Bookshelf Gem (It’d Be a Great Last-Minute Gift!)

I recently moved to a new apartment in Los Angeles and have been searching for a compact yet aesthetically-pleasing speaker. I love listening to music and plan on hosting many get-togethers, so I’m looking to invest in a quality speaker that provides a rich, room-filling sound. That’s when I came across the IKEA SYMFONISK Sonos WiFi Bookshelf Speaker, which is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I plan on purchasing it soon, especially since it’s quietly being discontinued by the Swedish retailer.

This speaker is a collaboration between IKEA and Sonos, a leading audio technology company, and is priced at $179.99 and available in two colors, white and black. The IKEA SYMFONISK Sonos WiFi Bookshelf Speaker can be placed horizontally or vertically, or even mounted on the wall to use as a practical shelf using the SYMFONISK wall bracket. It measures 4 by 6 by 12 inches and can fit neatly on a bookshelf. Plus, it has a long cord length (55 inches), so it can sit on a tall shelf.

 I love the speaker’s minimal design aesthetic, which will perfectly complement my home’s modern interiors. It’s also practical, as it connects to WiFi, enabling me to stream music, radio, and podcasts from my network and all major streaming services. The speaker is listed as “last chance to buy” on IKEA’s website, which means once it sells out, it’s gone. It has a rating of four stars and more than 200 reviews, so I’m guessing it won’t be long before it goes.

Since it’s a collaboration with Sonos, a company renowned for retailing quality products, I’m confident that the speaker produces a rich sound. I plan on purchasing two of these speakers: one for my living room and one for my den. It’s great that I will be able to control each speaker individually, so I can pair them when I’m hosting a party or use them separately. 

If you’re looking for a great last-minute gift or to upgrade your own home’s audio setup, I’d suggest ordering this speaker soon. You don’t want to miss your chance to get your hands on this smart bookshelf gem.
