Love Stu's review! In an age of people screaming like baboon's when doing videos, having someone making a professional review in a relaxing mature tone is just so refreshing! Keep on the good work mate!
I got two of these lamps in October. It’s so good. Sound frequencies are sharp and amazing. Really love these lamps. They get so darn loud without distortion. Amazing stuff.
I like the lamp overall. Don’t know if I am the only one who wishes that the black base would be available with the white lamp shade instead of the grey/dark color. Very good review!
Really nice to have you reviewing more and more ikea products. I’m fully invested in the Tradfri echosystem, and i am really looking forward to see it growing in smart home/entertainment solutions. Keep it up !
Stu’s Reviews you bet i will. But please be 100% honest on it as i’ve seen some info on the concept, which make the smart blinds kind of sketchy. And also the price might be too steep to upgrade all windows. We’ll see, till then keep it up!
I have a (stereo) pair of these for bedside lamps and I am seriously impressed with them. Put in a Philips Hue colour E14 candle bulbs and they look lovely too.
The little lamp sounds fantastic, it’s on par with most high end brand bookshelf’s, I listened to it in local ikea store, I couldn’t believe my ears. It’s so good, and only 200ish cad. It’s a steal for the quality
So I'm guessing (hoping) it's equivalent to a sonos one / play one with a lamp on top. If that's the case it's a no brainer buy over the stock Sonos one. So much more practical to have in a bedroom on a bedside table. Hopefully the sound is equal or at least close! Nice looking too! Hey Stu, If you're reading this please consider a follow up video comparing the two.
I've just bought the IKEA eneby gen 2 which now has TWS pairing. The bass is out of this world and heavy 👍 just waiting for the battery 🔋 to arrive in the post. All o can say is IKEA make fantastic speakers 🔊. Great review was listening with the IKEA eneby gen 2.
Not sure if it was mentioned, but is this a Stereo speaker, can you use more than one Lamp? What is the max Wattage of bulb? Does the light need to be on To hear music? What is the Bass like?
Great review Stu. You have a new sub here. I have many Sonos speakers already and this looks great. Presumably you could buy a second one and make them a stereo pair? If it’s anything like the Play 1, a pair sounds much better/fuller.
Fantastic video Stu. Love the reaction and as a Sonos user - this sounds like a real winner in various room scenarios. I am heading to IKEA in a bit and will be looking out for this. I think I would also favour black. The price is a real bargain as well. The Sons Play 1 costs more than that and I think the hardware will be comparable. Hmmmmmmm You got me thinking thoughts dude. Thanks again - you just got yourself another subscriber whos notification bell has truly been rung - looking out for more of the same!! Nice!!
I have a few questions! 1 - Did i can get pair the lamp with other device from house? And i may refer to a TV set! 2 - You can only play the music with Sonos player, or you can play, let's say, TH-cam directly from phone? Because i don't want iTunes or other music play prorgams! 3 - You have also an audio cable for cionnecting with AV receiver? Thanx!
Just picked one up, wondering if its possible to tether your phone-calls on to the speaker itself. Like use the lamp/speaker as a handsfree phone device??
We’re a Sonos home already and I expected good things from these speakers, as Sonos don’t do half measures. . I think your face told the story, especially at full volume! May have to invest as soon as they come back into stock.
Its pronounced as ‘ sim-phone-is-kh ‘ not symfonski. Thumbs up for the previous video, you did pronounce ENEBY perfectly. I do hope they will at some point update the eneby line to become part of symfonisk. Or release a symfonisk that is similar to the eneby in shape, form and function.
lol you genuinly sound excited at the idea of washing it! that's funny. I did buy the lamp, it's very good! especially with a smart bulb. thanks for the review!
“I can pick out instruments in this song that I’ve never heard before.” Heh heh heh, I want to get this man a pair of quality headphones! Maybe something less crazy than the one I’m wearing in my profile pic (with cables that thick!! Hah!), but like a Sennheiser HD 650 or something :) Enjoyed Stu’s energy and review style :D
Pair 2 Sonos Ones together and you would be blown away. I have read that these lamps have the same internals as the Sonos One. So maybe try pairing 2 lamps together and increase your audio enjoyment.
It’s not just a lamp, it’s a Symphajejwiiwkwkwoddjwgwudidofjgbfhhdiwowowkqjqsuysgwgdifofjheidifjsjxictgwvwodofowhwudiwjwwjwiiieonvxgdutwtiqtwyysoyddoydydoyfufkgsigsgzyxucjckncjfjdyqyqyquwdifoghofueywtrurrbddyxrhrqjtwityouoocpjjvnmmjhreaataiatatkwmmwafjfkif.
Thanks for a great review, I appreciated it! Best melody by Ooyy is: Bermuda, and Gelatin nature. / Another artist is, Wave Saver: Swag Rider. / Another one is Wild Beaches, COE: Before the dawn (COE Remix) / Artist Purple Dive: Awoken. / Artist: Gryffin with Iselin: Just for a moment, / Gryffin with Carly Rae Jepsen: OMG.
Hi Stu I have gone and bought the white one as the grey/black one looks awful with the lamp on as it gives a grey smoked effect. You are right the sound is awesome, thanks for your review as you were spot on and the sound is comparable to my KEF home cinema set up. 😀👍👍
Great video. Can you buy more to see if surround sound can be enabled? Imagine you have your two lamps with wall speakers..... that would be incredible!
@@ioblings Sonos has delivered the software, the hardware side is purely ikea built (with a little assitance). It is by no means a Play:1 in there just to set that straight ;-)
Hi Stu, love ur vids! One thing, when you play a song on any speaker, is the music coming from the speaker, or is it edited in? It sounds like it is edited. It would be great if you can play some No Copyright Music from the speaker unedited, so we get a feeling for the sound the speaker provides. Many thanks!
Hi Henry- I did flash up some text when I started playing music - but you may have missed that- Just so that you know, the music was coming from the speaker and recorded live using a blue yeti mic. Everything you heard on the review was natural and playing from the speaker, not edited over the top.
E14 socket, Philips Hue candelabra style lights should fit. Although why not go for IKEA Trådfri lights? They should work with your existing Hue system for a lower price. 😜
Seems weird to me that they made the on/off a dial, I assumed that was the volume when looking at the photos. Do you have to have the light on to use the speaker?
Supriceng it doesn’t come with trådfri “skill”. So you have to by a trådfri bulb to get that. Not even a switch to turn up or down the light. That’s a turn off.
Does anyone know if this works with google, the google cast system and will it connect without an ethernet cable (for those of us that dont do apple or spotify)
I was thinking about getting one of these,but I have a rather naiive question. Can it just play normal bluetooth?? I know you could say just down load the sonos app but a life span of a table lamp can be infinite (except bulb) but an app may only be supported for a few years.
Yep- doesn’t do it unfortunately. Although you CAN install the sonos skill on Alexa, which then allows you to ask Alexa to play music through the speaker (but her voice still comes through the echo device you’re using).
You had me at 'but I don't know what' (is inside) 😂 #manuelnoenoreadsthose. 5 minutes later (as almost always) Stu reads the manuel 😂. As always great revieuw. 2 thumbs up 👍👍. Ps do you also have a review channel 4 yer licor?
The product is not dimmable because it cannot be dimmable for it to actually work with any smart light, IKEA or any other brand. Also I don't really understand what you talk about when you say it doesn't work with the Trådfri system...? It 100% does work with Trådfri and smart assistants through the Trådfri system.
@@StusReviewsUK To be fair, if you want it to work with Tradfri or any other smart light system you need to purchase and install the light source. So yes, it does work with Tradfri or Philips Hue, but not out of the box. Just like any other lamp that's comes without a bulb.

I like the lamp overall. Don’t know if I am the only one who wishes that the black base would be available with the white lamp shade instead of the grey/dark color. Very good review!
This is the only thing stopping me from buying one!
Oh, it’s gray? Thanks, it’s hard to tell from the pic in the video.
Black is better!
This is the most refreshing review of a product I've seen in a long time! Just down to earth and natural.

Just come to check what that music was.

A *Bloody lamp stuck on it! 🤣
At least you know aren’t alone in that thought!
Haha l like the bottles of alcohol in the book shelf to his right😂😂👍🏽
I love the top gear-esk voice over
Will you be doing the bookshelf version too?

get the bookshelf version
Andreas Holm thanks 🙏
Always love your reviews. Good work very informative
Many people buy lamps in pairs to flank the sofa or bed. Do u know if 2 can pair with each other or chain in that case?
Washing it is so-so cool but they may want to be able to offer different colors on the sock/sleeve.
Great review Stu, thanks

What would be really interesting is a comparison between this and Sonos play1/one (already Sonos user)
I believe the speaker part is basically a Play 1 redesigned to accomodate the lamp.
@@aydinb7050 so far I only found a review and apparently the hardware is not the same but it's designed to sound like a play1. I need more sources

Question please before I order : Does the light have to on to utilize the speakers ??
Megan Sthilaire no
Does it connect to Bluetooth?
can they be apir to work in stereo is you have 2 of those ?
Love this review haha
Thanks Julia.
Can a Philips hue bulb fit in there?
Looking forward to your comparison of this to the Amazon Echo Studio.
Eneby appears to be also made by the same OEM as the Sonos one
Nice whisky collection there bud! Worth a subscribe. Ha!

Unbelievable that this switch isn't a dimmer. What a waste there. Also why E14?
Great review what are the music tracks you are playing.

I was thinking about getting one of these,but I have a rather naiive question. Can it just play normal bluetooth??
I know you could say just down load the sonos app but a life span of a table lamp can be infinite (except bulb) but an app may only be supported for a few years.
Does it require more Sonos devices such as a play bar/beam/base to function
Nope
Paul Noth perfect man that’s a huge game changer. May have to get one
Wow. That’s one of the worst butchering of Swedish I ever heard. Great review though, as always.
I’m sorry 😟. I’m from the north of England... we barely speak English up there, let alone other languages.

Yes as long as it’s the right fitting 👍

i bought a sonos speaker years ago and the sound was good but it was a nightmare to deal with and set up.
does it work on bluetooth? or android phone?
I don't think it has bluetooth, it's LAN based. But yes, just like every Sonos speaker, just download the Sonos app for android and go.
Supports airplay 2. Not bluetooth or chromecast. It is a Sonos product.
please open the lamp en check the sonos pcb's
