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

At CES 2026, Ikea spent its first-ever time at 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 is, in each manner that issues, much more of a delight than its $10 price ticket lets on. Will probably be accessible in April in purple, 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 not simply because it’s so dang lovely; 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 up to 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 shortly 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 anticipate that at this dimension and worth.

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, quite 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. When you wait lengthy sufficient, although, the audio system time themselves out.
