Ikea Will Quickly Promote an Lovable, Tiny, Surprisingly Good-Sounding Bluetooth Speaker for $10

At CES 2026, Ikea spent its first-ever time on the tech occasion exhibiting off plenty of new merchandise, together with a brand new Bluetooth speaker it calls the Kallsup. It’s a teeny tiny dice that’s, in each manner that issues, way more of a delight than its $10 price ticket lets on. Will probably be accessible in April in pink, white, and inexperienced colours.

The Kallsup is light-weight but solid-feeling, a plastic field with speaker holes on one face, a USB-C port on the again for charging, and two buttons astride a small LED standing gentle for energy, playback, and pairing. It was instantly charming, and never simply because it’s so dang lovable; each motion you do on it prompts these whimsical human-made noises—like a boop or a whooshing sound. The audio system use Bluetooth 5.3 and as much as 100 Kallsup audio system may be synchronized collectively by doing the correct sequence of lengthy presses of the play button between them.

With a couple of paired collectively, the Kallsup cubes had been in a position to rapidly fill the room with better-than-you’d-expect sound—not tinny or muffled. They definitely didn’t push out a lot bass, and neither would I count on that at this dimension and value.

The one actual criticisms I’ve, at first look, spring from Ikea’s determination to solely put two buttons on the field: a play button and one emblazoned with the Bluetooth brand. It’s not apparent to me that you simply’d lengthy press the play button, moderately than the Bluetooth one, for pairing audio system collectively, and neither is it clear how they’re turned off, or even when you are able to do that manually. In the event you wait lengthy sufficient, although, the audio system time themselves out.
