Ikea supersized its cheap Bluetooth speaker and added an optical input
Ikea's new Badkruka wireless Bluetooth speaker is now available in the US for $59.99. It's reminiscent of the colorful and tiny $10 Kallsup speaker that Ikea debuted earlier this year at CES 2026, but at almost seven inches tall, the boxy Badkruka isn't designed with portability in mind as it also lacks a rechargeable battery. Color options aren't as expansive as the Kallsup, either.
