But crank up the volume further and it starts to struggle, with failing bass and over-accentuated treble. Up to about 70% volume it has punchy bass, warm treble and nicely detailed highs. Thanks to Sonos’s audio engineering the speaker is well balanced, with a rounded sound that is significantly better than many simpler Bluetooth speakers. Place it against a wall in the middle of a room and it’ll sound the same regardless of where you’re sitting in front of it. But it projects its audio 180 degrees around its base, making it sound less directional than other speakers. The second-gen lamp sounds slightly better than its predecessor and similar to the Symfonisk picture frame. SpecificationsĬonnectivity: Wifi, ethernet, AirPlay 2, Spotify ConnectĪ small power LED and standard pause/play and volume buttons are on the back of the base. It does not have microphones for Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, but the speaker can be controlled with all major voice assistants via another smart speaker or your phone.
It can also be linked with Sonos’s soundbars for surround sound, or grouped with other Ikea or Sonos speakers for easy multi-room audio. The lamp can be used on its own or paired with another for stereo sound. The system supports practically every major service, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and BBC Sounds, plus Apple’s AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect. It operates like any other Sonos speaker, streaming music over wifi – not Bluetooth – from your choice of music service. Download the Sonos app on your Android or iPhone, run the setup routine, tap your phone on the back of the lamp when instructed and connect it to wifi. The lamp is as easy to set up as the Symfonisk Picture Frame. There’s a power lead and an ethernet socket in the bottom, and small silicone feet keep the lamp stable.
