Sonos and Ikea end collaboration

The joint products of the Swedish furniture store and the speaker manufacturer from California will be discontinued. However, existing Wi-Fi speakers will continue to receive updates.

Ikea is discontinuing «Symfonisk». The speaker line was a collaboration with Sonos and included various pieces of furniture with built-in Wi-Fi speakers - such as a wall shelf, a floor lamp or a picture. They could be integrated into the normal Sonos ecosystem and offered relatively good sound at moderate prices (by Sonos standards).

After eight years, Ikea and Sonos are ending their collaboration, as the speaker manufacturer confirmed to «The Verge». The Symfonisk line was always exclusively available at Ikea. Now that the remaining stock has been sold off, the products will disappear from the furniture store's range worldwide. No new ones are planned.

The two companies remain silent on the reasons for the end. Sonos spokesperson Erin Pategas simply writes: «We've had the pleasure of working closely with Ikea for the past eight years, and we're proud of what we've accomplished.» Existing devices will also «continue to be supported and receive updates for many years».

Turbulent times for Sonos

The new interim CEO Tom Conrad also faces challenges. Sonos could be severely affected by the planned US tariffs, which are due to come into force in July. It is true that the company has relocated its production facility for products coming into the USA from China to Malaysia and Vietnam. However, imports from Southeast Asian countries are also threatened with tariffs of 24 per cent (Malaysia) and 46 per cent (Vietnam) - and thus price increases in the USA.

My fingerprint often changes so drastically that my MacBook doesn't recognise it anymore. The reason? If I'm not clinging to a monitor or camera, I'm probably clinging to a rockface by the tips of my fingers.
