Product details

The speaker is a collaboration between IKEA and Sonos, so it easily integrates with other products from Sonos.

Use the speaker as a shelf by mounting it on the wall with SYMFONISK speaker bracket, sold separately.

SYMFONISK WiFi speaker allows you to stream music, radio and podcasts from your network and streaming services.

Supports all of the major music streaming subscription services.

Hang the speaker on KUNGSFORS rail or rack by using the SYMFONISK speaker hooks, sold separately.

This speaker has a rich and vibrant sound that fills the entire room and allows you to create the right atmosphere at home.

You can control each speaker individually, so you can play music in one room while the children are listening to an audiobook in another one, or play the same sound throughout the home.

Compatible with Airplay 2 so you can stream audio directly from your Apple devices.

You can stream music, podcasts and radio via WiFi without interruptions from phone calls or notifications. The music keeps playing even when your phone or tablet is not around.

If you want stereo sound, you can buy two identical speakers.

You can use two identical speakers as rear speakers for a Sonos home theatre system.

Compatible with Spotify Connect, which means you can stream music directly to the speaker from your Spotify app.

      Many don't believe in original price crap anyway, especially the price increase and what not. So didn't bother. :p

      It's a wireless speaker… it may be a surprise but a bit of googling does wonder sometime.

        Though I'll not surprise to see comment saying no one buy it for them to try out etc.

        I knew there would be some smart arses like you. By the same logic, he didn’t even need to copy paste anything; people can just click that link.

        Also, people do check the rrp. Discounts are often based on rrp. This particular seller is IKEA, they don’t change their price frequently.

      Nothing but the official Samsung rear speakers that pair with the particular model of soundbar you have will work. I have an old Samsung soundbar, which still sounds great. I'd love to add rear speakers to it but the compatible rear set went out of stock years ago…and it doesn't seem to turn up on ebay

      Just checked the SONOS app. Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa is on the list.

      I've been mostly use (my Gen 1s) with Spotify App which linked with SONOS app.

      Didn't know Google Assistant is now available. I'm gonna try that.

      HTH.

      Confirmed Google Assistant works.

      Casting wise, I used to use SonosTube app. It works to a degree (I haven't used it for more than a year). Hopefully it works better these days.

    • jjcf on 23/02/2023 - 18:51

      Neither, save some more and either get the Sonos five or the Apple homepod 2.

    • Ozymandias on 23/02/2023 - 16:06

      I've got three of them, I'm a big fan. Mini if you want Siri, otherwise if you're happy with the standard Sonos app ecosystem then get these.

    • audumla on 02/03/2023 - 17:04

      To be honest if you enjoy music these are utter rubbish. I got 4 when they were on sale a while back and yes they are extremely easy to setup and they work brilliantly from that point of view. But as soon as I played music through them they did not impress. Specifically, the sound starts about half way through the mid range with little in the lower mid.. as for bass .. what bass. Are they value for money? Well they are cheap so yeah .. but Ill pay a bit more for better sound.
      Eventually they'll end up as speakers in the shed or some place where I dont really care about what Im hearing too much. There are hacks online that take them apart and connect them to some decent drivers which could actually be a cheap way of getting a few sonus enabled speakers. As they are though dont expect much from them.

        Honestly though they are made entirely from plastic aren't they? You can't expect amazing sound out of them with an enclosure like that. I've seen teardowns they have similar acoustic build quality to a bluetooth speaker but with a piece of foam thrown in.

  • ozioziozi on 23/02/2023 - 15:34

    The reason for these going on sale could be that Sonos is about to launch 2 new speakers in March https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/6/23588049/sonos-era-300-100…

    • Officewalks on 23/02/2023 - 15:38

      Plus, Sonos increased prices of some main products in US. Guess AU will follow soon, making this deal slightly worthier.

                @v8bargain: I take it you have a Sonos setup of sorts already? Assuming you’re buying these, how are you integrating them? I already have a Sonos 5.1 with the tv, but I’m thinking of putting a Symfonisk pair elsewhere in the house just so I can pipe the same music into another room. Do ppl even do that? I know you can but realistically is it something you’d do hmm

                • v8bargain on 23/02/2023 - 16:30
                  +2

                  @Pecan: I have a set of these but gen 1s. They works great, we hardly use the TV so I don't ever need to concerns about other input sources.

                  Bought 4 of these, 2 to add to an existing gen 1 stereos for musics, the other 2 will be used in different room as 'music everywhere you go' scenario.

                  FYI, in case if you run into drop out issue, you can access your speakers support info page: http://{ANY_SPEAKER_IP}:1400/support/review then go into Network Matrix for diagnostic. It gets a bit technical from there though.

      There’s no Bluetooth or AUX, only connects via wifi/Ethernet. Not really made for PC usage.

      Keep an eye out for Edifer or Logitech speakers on sale. Better bang for buck if you don’t need the smarts and are just running it from a pc

      These were budget/entry level into SONOS speakers when they first release the gen 1s. Personally quite like the sound it produces, although I'm not an audiophile.

      SONOS One SL seems like the next level to me.

  • csider on 23/02/2023 - 16:00

  • bleugh on 23/02/2023 - 16:08

    This now brings it down to the REGULAR UK Price of 99 quid including VAT…
    they're regularly priced at 99 Euros ($154 AU) / 99 US Dollars (145 AUD)….

    so they can go further down…….

    not a bad price now, glad i didn't buy some over in Blighty and ship them!

  • theguyrules on 23/02/2023 - 16:13

    I've got a Symfonisk lamp and a wall-mounted bookshelf as a stereo pair for my bedroom tele and I'm very happy! The only downside is not being able to tell the Apple TV that I want to use them as default output.

    • alamodey on 23/02/2023 - 17:33

      how does apple tv connect with these speakers, airplay 2?

      • theguyrules on 23/02/2023 - 17:37

        Yep. You can pair two of the same type ie bookshelf to bookshelf natively in the app and then select that from the Apple TV airplay menu.
        You need an app called Sonosequencer to pair a bookshelf with a lamp, like I did, but after that it acts the same way.

    • JackFrost on 23/02/2023 - 21:16

      Get a Sonos beam and use these for the rear. The. It will work with Apple TV

      • onlinepred on 23/02/2023 - 22:30

        You lose proper stereo though

        • JackFrost on 24/02/2023 - 10:48

          Huh? No you don’t, with a beam and sub you gain 5.1

          • onlinepred on 24/02/2023 - 10:58
            +2

            @JackFrost: Yea but a beam is 65cm wide, it isn't even as wide as most TVs, so your "stereo" separation is less than the width of your TV. To get stereo you need to place the left and right channels roughly 30-45 cm away from each side of the TV. So yes, you lose proper stereo and gain some rear channels. It will suit most people to be perfectly honest.

            • JackFrost on 09/03/2023 - 11:19

              @onlinepred: Right I see what you’re saying. I might grab an Arc eventually

  • xdivino on 23/02/2023 - 17:53

    Currently have a Beam Gen2 and looking at the rear surrounds in the One SL's but now thinkging for less than the price of one OneSL i can get this with stand included.

    Question for those that have this setup.. TV is wall mounted, couch against opposite side wall.
    Do you point the rears at the seated people or back at the tv or like some 45 degree angle.

    • SydStrand on 23/02/2023 - 18:42
      +1

      Rear surrounds should be behind the intended listener. If your couch is pushed against a wall, you don't really have much choice, and your next best option is perhaps to get stands on either side.

  • Omarko on 23/02/2023 - 18:07

    Whats the bass like on these? Rich and deep at low volumes?

    • SydStrand on 23/02/2023 - 18:40

      No. These are okay bookshelf speakers, and good surrounds. You shouldn't expect fantastic bass at this size and price range.

    • wazman67 on 24/02/2023 - 14:05

      I would characterise it as “pretty good for the size of the speaker” - I have one in a roughly 8x4m garage gym and it slaps pretty well, but you won’t mistake it for a Sonos 5 for example.

    • JackFrost on 23/02/2023 - 21:18
      +3

      Ones are better (and they should be for the price) but these are more than good enough for rears. I find the Ones a little over the top for rear’s because they’re always softer than the front facing speakers.

  • wfh on 23/02/2023 - 21:02

    Bought the Ones for like 220?

  • CantonasKungFuKick on 23/02/2023 - 21:26

    Could these be mounted outside undercover for Hey Google scenario if linked to YouTube premium?

    Or even connected to a smart tv that is outside too as a makeshift soundbar?

  • Gordzirra on 24/02/2023 - 06:59

    I have the gen 1 and don't rate it, don't use it much, bought an Edifier D12 instead , much better , cheaper and better stereo sound (but black and brown) and better bass

    Don't like dumb wifi only without Bluetooth and no other input connections don't like the app its clunky from my galaxy Android/YT music… I just wanted white colour for the living room to match my tv cabinet. Mono not great either but ok sound if you aren't fussy. Don't slam me guys, just my opinion

    Question for the technologically advanced people- I would like to have jazz music playing in my bathroom programmed when I turn on the light switch. Any suggestions as to how I might make this happen?

    • v8bargain on 24/02/2023 - 11:39
      +1

      May be trigger by Google Assistant instead of light switch event with Google Home Routine.

      Hey Google, Jazz up my bath time.
      1. Turn on bathroom light.
      2. Play Jazz music in bathroom speaker.

      If you insist triggering from light switch event, I think you can use IFTTT setup.
