Discontinued. The manufacturer no longer sells this one new, so a retailer link here can land on remaining stock, a used or refurbished unit, or a successor model - check what the listing is before buying.

Quick verdict

IKEA discontinued the whole SYMFONISK range in January 2026 when its eight-year partnership with Sonos ended, so this is clearance or secondhand stock only. Do not plan a multiroom build around adding matching speakers later. If you already own one, or find one cheap, it remains the cheapest way into the locally-controllable Sonos ecosystem: it appears in HA as a Sonos media_player controlled locally over UPnP, and pairs with Music Assistant to stream your own library. IKEA and Sonos both say existing speakers keep working, with software updates and customer service continuing.

Standout: Discontinued in January 2026, but on clearance or secondhand it is still the cheapest way into the locally-controllable Sonos ecosystem, controlled in HA through the Sonos integration and Music Assistant.
