Our Verdict
Sonos One Gen 2/One SL
IKEA SYMFONISK Speaker lamp
The Sonos One Gen 2/One SL and the IKEA SYMFONISK Speaker lamp are both Wi-Fi speakers designed for use at home. The One Gen 2 offers great voice assistant support with Alexa and Google Assistant built-in. With its room correction feature enabled, it has a boomy sound profile. That said, the SYMFONISK is a collaboration between IKEA and Sonos. It has a dual function as a speaker and a lamp. With room correction enabled, it has a bright sound profile, though it can produce a more extended low bass than the One Gen 2. It also has better directivity, resulting in a wider-sounding soundstage.
