New Speaker Model from Ikea
Ikea has launched the Badkruka wireless Bluetooth speaker in the United States. Priced at $59.99, this new speaker is larger than previous models, measuring almost seven inches tall, and is designed for stationary use rather than portability.
Connectivity and Features
The Badkruka speaker offers Bluetooth connectivity for mobile devices and includes an optical input (TOSLINK) for connecting to home theater systems, TVs, or PCs. It supports multi-speaker mode, allowing users to connect multiple Badkruka speakers for broader sound coverage, and can be paired for stereo sound. The speaker also integrates Spotify Tap and comes with three distinct EQ modes.
Design and Power Requirements
Available in black plastic or a pink finish with a wood grain texture, the Badkruka lacks a rechargeable battery. It requires a continuous power source, making it suitable for fixed indoor setups. This design choice differentiates it from more portable, battery-powered speakers.
