Ikea has launched its cheapest Bluetooth speaker to date, the Kallsup, in the US for $9.99. The compact, cube-shaped speaker was positively reviewed for its powerful sound relative to its size and features a rechargeable, replaceable battery.
The speaker allows for wireless pairing of up to 100 units to fill a space with music, emphasizing design and affordability following Ikea's split from Sonos. It is currently available in white and lime green in the US, though additional colors were initially announced.

Alongside smart Lego bricks and lots of robots, one of the most anticipated gadgets announced at CES 2026 was a cheap Bluetooth speaker from the company best known for flat-packed furniture. Ikea is no stranger to electronics, but after ending its partnership with Sonos last year, its approach to Bluetooth speakers has been a focus on design and affordability. Its new Kallsup wireless speaker, now available in the US, is its cheapest to date at just $9.99.

Cheap compact speakers are plentiful on sites like Amazon, but their performance and functionality is frequently lacking. Despite the Kallsup being a tiny 2.75-inch cube, The Verge’s Jennifer Pattison Tuohy was “impressed by the powerful sound from the pint-size product” during a hands-on with the speakers at CES.
The Kallsup’s replaceable battery is good for up to nine hours of playtime at 50 percent volume, and it’s rechargeable using a USB-C port. It won’t be nearly as loud as a towering party speaker, but up to 100 Kallsup speakers can be wirelessly connected and synced to fill a larger space with music. However, while Ikea announced white, pink, and lime green color options at CES, on its US online store the Kallsup is currently only available in the white and green options.
