IKEA’s $10 KALLSUP speakers are small, colorful, and surprisingly loud

IKEA’s new, colorful KALLSUP Bluetooth speakers cost just $10 (€5 in Europe) each and feature instant Bluetooth pairing. Pair one with your phone, and then, with a two-button sequence, another KALLSUP can join the party. You can theoretically pair up to 100. The team I spoke 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 renowned Swedish designer and IKEA collaborator Ola Wihlborg, the portable square speaker measures just 2.75 x 2.75 x 3 inches. It has little legs on the bottom, a speaker grille on the side, and two buttons for pairing and play/pause on the top. Available in white, dark pink and lime green, the KALLSUP charges via USB-C, and IKEA says the battery is replaceable.

I played with nine KALLSUPs at the IKEA stand yesterday and was impressed by the powerful sound coming 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 startup sound, and held the power button down for a few seconds until the music started playing. It only took a few seconds for each speaker, and once all nine speakers were connected, the room became impressively loud.

It would be fun to scatter a bunch of these around a room – or even a garden, although they’re not waterproof – for a pop of color and lots of sound. KALLSUP uses Bluetooth 5.3 technology and will be available in stores in April 2026.
