IKEA’s new Kallsup speaker is making waves, adn for good reason – it’s incredibly affordable.This little speaker offers a surprisingly accessible entry point into multi-room audio, and I’ve been testing it to see just how well it delivers on its promise. It’s a interesting piece of tech, especially considering its price point.
A New Approach to Affordable Audio
The Kallsup isn’t about audiophile-grade sound; it’s about accessibility and fun. You can connect these speakers via Bluetooth, and what’s notably interesting is their ability to pair together. Imagine creating a larger sound system without a significant investment – you can group up to 100 Kallsup speakers for a ample audio boost. However, don’t expect earth-shattering bass; these speakers are lightweight and designed for general listening rather than deep, resonant tones.
Interestingly, the speaker keeps things simple with just two buttons: one for Bluetooth pairing and another for play/pause control. Volume adjustment is handled directly on your connected device, and there’s no power switch – it automatically shuts down when not in use. It charges via USB-C,but a cable isn’t included in the box,which,given the low cost,is understandable.
While the sound quality won’t rival high-end speakers, it’s surprisingly solid for the price. It avoids the tinny sound that plagues many budget options, making it a noticeable step up from some of the no-name brands available online. I’ve found that it’s perfectly adequate for casual listening, background music, or podcasts.
Though, the real appeal of the Kallsup lies in its playful design and exceptional value.If you’re already planning a trip to IKEA, perhaps to explore their smart home offerings
