Without prior notice, Ikea and Sonos are ending their long-standing partnership, which comes as a shock to many fans of the Symfonisk series. Those looking to secure a piece should act quickly, as no new products will be manufactured.
The partnership between Ikea and Sonos, established in 2017, has unexpectedly ended with immediate effect, as Sonos confirmed to “The Verge.” Production of the Symfonisk series has already been discontinued.
Ikea Simplicity and Sonos Audio Technology
The collaboration resulted in the popular Symfonisk products, known for combining Ikea’s functional housing design with Sonos’ audio technology. Symfonisk products are often more affordable than Sonos’ own devices.
There will be no new joint products from the two companies in the future. The furniture giant is now only selling the existing inventory. Customers who want to secure one of the smart speaker models should act quickly, as no further production is planned. However, there is some reassurance for current users. Sonos assures that the speakers will receive software support for “many years” to come.

Sonos Focuses on Its Core Business
Neither Ikea nor Sonos have commented on the reasons behind the separation. What led to the termination of the partnership remains unclear for now. However, the end of the collaboration occurs against the backdrop of a larger restructuring at Sonos.
The company is still dealing with the fallout from the disastrous app launch, for which the CEO personally apologized. The impact on customer trust in the brand is still felt today. As recently as March 2025, Sonos scrapped its plans for a streaming video player, as “The Verge” reported. The company is now focusing on its core business with its own audio products.
