Summary
- The IKEA Badkruka is a new, larger Bluetooth speaker.

- The speaker can be paired with multiple units for stereo sound.
IKEA is expanding its range of affordable Bluetooth speakers with the introduction of the Badkruka, a larger model following the Kallsup.
This new speaker, measuring 16cm x 16cm x 17.5cm, is available in black or pink and is constructed from durable ABS plastic and polycarbonate. It appears designed for stationary use due to its power cord, with no mention of a rechargeable battery.
The Badkruka features convenient physical controls on top for managing playback and volume. A notable addition is the Spotify Tap button, enabling users to seamlessly resume their listening from another device with a single press.
While specific audio technical specifications are not yet detailed, IKEA promises "powerful" and "balanced" sound suitable for gaming, streaming, and music. The speaker offers three EQ settings to customize audio output.
Connectivity includes the ability to pair two speakers for synced stereo sound, with potential for syncing additional units. The Badkruka is priced at €50 on IKEA's German website, with broader global availability anticipated.
