Expensive audio systems are a thing of the past. At CES 2026, IKEA unveiled Kallsup, a cube-shaped, tiny, and colorful yet adorable rechargeable Bluetooth speaker, and you can pair 100 of them together for an ultimate multi-speaker surround-sound setup. It costs just $10, and the company is expected to begin shipping these in pink, green, and white in April 2026.
The Ultimate Power Move: 100-Speaker Pairing
If the affordable price tag alone didn’t surprise you, its unique capability to pair 100 Bluetooth speakers together can become an epic party trick for a surround sound experience, no matter where you are. It makes multi-room audio setup accessible and affordable for everyone.
If you are acquainted with IKEA, then you must have seen Sonos premium speaker lineup (which starts at $180) in their stores. Now that their partnership has been officially ended, you can think of Kallsup as the anti-Sonos strategy to capture the Bluetooth speaker market, making it super cheap so you can buy multiple pieces at once.
Minimalist Design, Maximum Impact
The design aspect is what makes Kallsup interesting; it is cube-shaped and measures roughly 2.7 inches on each side, just like Rubik’s Cube. It is lightweight, has a minimalist, aesthetic design, makes it easier to stack on top of each other, and feels solid despite being made of plastic.
It features a clean design with four tiny legs on the bottom, a speaker grill on the front, a USB-C charging port on the back, two buttons on top (play/pause and Bluetooth pairing), and an LED status light.
Yes, you noticed it right! There is no volume control button on the speaker. You can only adjust it through your phone.
It has rechargeable batteries, which are estimated to last about 9 hours (only real-world testing will tell the true story). Though one interesting aspect is replaceable batteries.
Surprisingly Powerful Audio with Bluetooth 5.3
The sound is incredible and impressive with just nine speakers paired up together, according to Jennifer Pattison Tuohy at The Verge, who experienced it in an IKEA hotel suite. Though you cannot expect such tiny speakers to deliver deep bass, the audio is loud enough to fill the room.
The true power of Kallsup lies in multiple speakers paired together.
Talking about pairing, the setup is way easier and non-technical than anyone would expect. You just need to press the Bluetooth button to turn on the speaker, then hold the play button for a few seconds until the speakers are paired.
