IKEA Symfonisk Picture Frame Speaker: Better Than A Sonos One?

I absolutely love this idea. It doesn’t work for my current apartment. But I hope they keep making and improving on this, because once I get a house, I’d buy a set for each room, provided there was a wider range of pictures. This is absolutely one of the best innovations I’ve seen in years.

I would love to see them do a ceiling light. The wiring is already there for power, make it stereo with similar sound to two lamps!

As a swede I just love hearing people try and pronounce the names of IKEA products. :D

The Symfonisk sounded more open with better mid/high frequency response as well as more balanced bass. I am very curious to test this in person. Shocked the Symfonisk was my preferred model based on your samples. Thanks for the video!

Thank you for another great review! I had not yet heard about these speakers, and now I'm excited to get one.

Great informative video as always. Would like to see it paired in future video. Overall sounds great, priced reasonably and hopefully size options being discussed/planned for future releases. Don’t care much at all for the artwork so will wait until optional covers available. 😎

I bought 2 of them. They sound fantastic and love the look.

Great product and great review.

Really like the sound of the picture frame based on these tests - the One sounds 'boxy' and coloured in comparison to my ears at least.

This is truly a cool collab between IKEA and SONOS! It’s cool how these products actually are the entry level SONOS speakers and ultimately give away the IKEA dual functionality for FREE, with the same price point of these 2 products and the shelf speakers £99 lowest SONOS Speaker price point. And that all Symfonisk speakers are FULL SONOS speakers.

Sounds great for hallways and walkways around the house. I think it’s value is in its ability to create an effects and listening experience around the home (I.g. like an angry way).

Great review

This would fit exquisitely at my work office to have some background tracks going.

Thank you for making a video of this. When I initially saw the images of this product on another site, I assumed this was an interactive e-ink screen where the image could change subtly with the sound. But I'm disappointed that this is a static image. Even though, the print is interchangeable, it would have been much cooler with an e-ink display.

Good video, thanks subbed.

I think it's such a great speaker. In our home, it hangs on the wall at the separation between the living room and the dining room, which is also attached to the kitchen. Wonderful sound. Especially if you have a nice New York jazz playlist on during dinner. What I didn't like in the beginning was the lack of bass and treble. But luckily I found out that you can easily adjust that in the SONOS app if you press the volume while playing a song. After I set the bass to +10 and the treble to +5, I was a big fan. What a beautiful piece. And the guests don't even know where the sound is coming from 😄🤙🏽

The One’s sound awesome as a stereo pair with some separation between them. I feel like spacing two of these frames apart could look a bit odd…like, why do I have two framed pictures of the same thing on my walls? I like this as an option, wish there were more variations to the artwork.

I am a huge fan of true play ! Yep find (across my home) it works tremendously well.

Good review. The one thing I would like is a “flat” plug design for wall power.

this means a 7.2 set up can be anywhere rather than just in a movie theater room. (i know sonos doesn't support it but one can only hope they do soon)
