Ikea’s new cute, colorful Kallsup Bluetooth speakers cost just $10 (€5 in Europe) each and feature instant Bluetooth pairing. Pair one to your phone, then, with a two-button sequence, another Kallsup can join the party.
You can theoretically pair up to 100. The team I chatted with at CES — where Ikea is making its debut this year — says they’ve only paired 40 so far in their office. Challenge accepted!
Designed by Swedish designer and Ikea collaborator Ola Wihlborg, the portable square speaker measures just 2.75 x 2.75 x 3 inches. It has small legs on the bottom, a speaker grill on the side, and two pairing and play/pause buttons on top.
Available in white, dark pink, and lime green, Kallsup charges via USB-C, and Ikea says the battery is replaceable.
I played with nine Kallsup’s in Ikea’s suite yesterday and was impressed by the powerful sound from the pint-sized product.
To add additional speakers, I pressed the Bluetooth button on each new device to turn it on, waited for the start-up sound, and held the play button down for a few seconds until the music started playing.
It took only a couple of seconds per speaker, and once all nine were connected, the hotel suite got impressively loud.
It would be fun to scatter a bunch of these around a room — or even a garden, though they’re not waterproof — for a pop of color and plenty of sound. The Kallsup uses Bluetooth 5.3 and will be available in stores in April 2026.
