Ikea and Sonos’ second-gen Symfonisk bookshelf speakers get a light refresh
Ikea has quietly updated its Sonos-partnered Symfonisk bookshelf speakers with a second-generation version that's already available in the Netherlands, via Dutch tech website Tweakers.
Unlike the recently revamped Symfonisk lamp, which added a brand new design, the second-gen bookshelf speakers are a more minor update: they still feature the same basic shelf-style design and compatibility with Sonos' speaker network and Apple's Airplay 2.
Tweakers reports that Ikea's made some internal changes, though, adding a faster processor, more memory, and lowering power consumption when in standby mode. It's also added a longer power cable, which should be helpful for anyone trying to mount them in awkwardly wired rooms.
But the biggest change...
