Sonos Confirms to be Phasing Out Symfonisk Series as IKEA Partnership Ends

Sonos is confirmed to be phasing out its Symfonisk series of devices. The company has stated that its partnership with IKEA is concluding, meaning that its lamp, bookshelf and picture frame speakers will soon be unavailable to purchase.

In a recent report from The Verge, a Sonos spokesperson confirmed that after eight years, the company will no longer be manufacturing new Symfonisk products. All devices from the series will be phased out globally, with no future devices being planned. However, the company has confirmed that existing products will continue to receive software updates.

“Although our work together has largely wound down and we won’t be releasing new products as partners, we’ll continue to support every existing Symfonisk product so customers can keep enjoying great sound in their homes for many years to come.”

In Canada, Sonos and IKEA offer the Symfonisk picture frame with Wi-Fi speaker for $269. The mountable speaker has interchangeable fronts and full integration with Sonos’ audio ecosystem. The Symfonisk speaker lamp also integrates into the company’s existing ecosystem. This device comes with a glass shade and is available for $199. Per the price points, Symfonisk devices are far more accessible than many of Sonos’ flagship audio devices.

The news of this comes as Sonos continues to combat the economic challenges many brands are facing. As of the time of writing, the company will be preparing to release its quarterly earnings report, which should provide much more context into how Sonos is working to offset the US tariffs.

In other news, last month, Sonos dropped the price of its Era 100 speaker and Ray soundbar. In Canada, the entry-level Era 100 is now priced at $259, down from $319. The Ray soundbar is now $259, discounted from the original $349 price tag.

Sonos has faced a tumultuous year, following the backlash to its revamped mobile app. As the company continues to invest time and effort into fixing the user experience, adding new features, the brand’s name has taken a toll. So much so that Patrick Spence stepped down as CEO and Board Member earlier this year. Tom Conrad, a long-serving independent Board member, then stepped in as interim CEO.
