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

At CES 2026, Ikea spent its first-ever time on the tech occasion displaying off various new merchandise, together with a brand new Bluetooth speaker it calls the Kallsup. It’s a teeny tiny dice that’s, in each method that issues, way more of a delight than its $10 price ticket lets on. It will likely 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 cute; 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 will be synchronized collectively by doing the correct sequence of lengthy presses of the play button between them.

With a number 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 actually didn’t push out a lot bass, and neither would I count on that at this measurement and worth.

The one actual criticisms I’ve, at first look, spring from Ikea’s choice to solely put two buttons on the field: a play button and one emblazoned with the Bluetooth emblem. It’s not apparent to me that you just’d lengthy press the play button, fairly 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. Should you wait lengthy sufficient, although, the audio system time themselves out.
