IKEA products having “families” is actually very common. For example, Malm is not one item, it’s an entire family of dressers, beds, desks and nightstands.
"They could have just included multiple colors in the box" I guess the idea is they make you choose one separately so you don't have parts in 4 colors laying around while you only use 1. Economically & ecologically friendly. :)
It might be environmentally friendly but don't forget that now IKEA gets to make money twice, instead of just once! They save money from not having to include all those different color fronts with every speaker and then they make money from selling those overpriced colored fronts! (one set of a single color for the small speaker is $10and one color for the large one is $17, prices converted from € to US$ from my local IKEA catalogue)

@@TamDNB Ookay, that's really good sounding and feature packed so they do know how to build circuits for audio and what kind of components work best, they clearly also have very good and talented programmers. That only makes this product line for IKEA that much more confusing Tho. As someone that could have actually been hired to design those things I'd try my best to do the best I can with whatever budget I had, clearly that's not the case here. I would be ashamed if my name was signed on those boxes, really. Even if the product was great, just the marketing and box design would make me feel ashamed.
I love to see how painfully obvious it is that Linus has never seen a cajon before. It's also cool to see that Teenage Engineering manufactured speakers! The sound does remind me of their company/style. Also weird that the cajon is just so randomly at an Ikea. I would have never expected them to have one, especially one without snares. Come on Ikea!
I own one. It has great sound for the size and it’s at a great price. Teenage Engineering announced this about two years ago, but only the speakers and a turntable that was ultimately cut from the product line because in product testing, people kept breaking it while assembling. I don’t think teenage engineering designed everything else though like the cups, raincoat, drum, pillow, etc. I think that was an ikea desision to make them.
Nah, it's for the soon-to-be homeless dude who was kicked out of his apartment, not for blasting music, but being a total Frekven to his neighbors, he was a major Richard if you know what I'm saying, anyways those silver pillows and raincoats are great for not only being reflective at night, but making sure his pillow doesn't become soggy from being on the ground.
The last thing Linus showed is called a Cajon. A instrument used for kick, snare and high hats for low budget songs or just to chill while you are in front of a campfire.
And it looks insanely bad.... I've seen Cajons for $25 that looked better than that piece of garbage. Insanely cheap-looking, thin wood. It even looks like it's left unprotected.
Our church uses a cajon, tambourine, and shakers, instead of a drum set. Drum sets have too much volume and are better for really large auditoriums. It would be a good instrument for Linus's kids to learn on.
German resident here, those swedes are something else huh? These speakers seem super overpriced, seriously to set up a "2.1" (not even true stereo, according to the data sheet) Frekvens sound system would cost 165 euro plus change. There are much more respectable solutions on the market for half the price. The portability seems to only complicate the issue as the battery packs are not included (although relatively reasonably priced) but then when you include the extra 44 euro plus change you would have to fork out for 3 battery packs you're now competing against even better portable speakers. To put this in perspective instead of paying around 210 euro for the "2.1" Frekvens you could simply spend 145.50 for an LG PL7 XBOOM and only miss out on 10W RMS over the Frekvens but in return get better sound quality, actual stereo sound, better portability and be 55 euros richer. On another note that box drum thing is apparently a Cajon, a Peruvian percussion instrument if you want to look up how it's supposed to sound simply search for "Cajon" solo on here on TH-cam.
I mean, in Europe (as far as i know) Ikea is in partner ship with the speaker company 'sonos' you're able to find custom sonos lamp speakers as custom sonos wooden speakers and many more. But I've never seen this line of product in the Ikea
@@dodecahedron1 I mean.. yeah, technically South Korean manufacturers tend to *localize* their product names, which is the word all of you weirdos are looking for. Seriously, localization of product names is nothing new, so yeah, it should have at least a secondary name or sub-name, like Markus (Mark) or something wouldn't be awful, not a literal translation 100% of the time since it would create off the wall names but yeah.. localization is a thing companies do. While I wouldn't say "YEAH!, FORCE THEM to make it English!" I will say having a subname for it would great help. Some mild localisations outside of just making Nagiri into Donuts in Pokemon include: Dōbutsu no Mori get's called Animal Forest by English speakers, Dōbutsu no Mori is the franchise that started Animal Crossing, and Animal Forest was the English name for the game that came out on the N64. Zankyou no Terror and "Terror in Resonance" is another example, this time it's a Japanese Anime we're talking about, while the English word "Terror" is in the Japanese title, that does not obviously make it understood by English speakers who do not know Japanese., thus "Terror in Resonance". I forgot my last example since I was eating some pancakes and watching something else for a bit, but to cut to the chase, there are plenty of companies who name their products with a regional name. It's not absurd, it's not some idiot being Xenophobic (although to say "it's just stupid. [I] can't pronounce half of the stuff [...] which makes it harder than it needs to be." is implying though subtext at least, that they think they SHOULD rather than saying COULD, that's a big difference in this discussion.) and close minded (completely) it's just someone venting their frustration about not having regional names, seriously, why do you other commenters (3 out of 4 total at time of typing) act like regional names and localization is just absurd and nonexistent?
I think this has real value, being too bassy is easy to correct and fix, the other way around is much more difficult to correct since additional bass makes the driver work way harder. Turning up the treble isn't such restriction. Of course there is much more to good sound than just balance, but that goes a long way. And being modular means you can quite easily add to the system with splitters and additional cables.
"It's all bass!"
...
"let's unpack the subwoofer."
All bass, the actual frequencies that propagate behind a loudspeaker when it is turned away from the listener.
The drum is called a cajon and it’s an actual instrument that is widely used. Granted this one looks to be very poor quality. Teenage Engineering is a musical instrument company that designs really nice small form factor synths.

@@TamDNB Ookay, that's really good sounding and feature packed so they do know how to build circuits for audio and what kind of components work best, they clearly also have very good and talented programmers. That only makes this product line for IKEA that much more confusing Tho. As someone that could have actually been hired to design those things I'd try my best to do the best I can with whatever budget I had, clearly that's not the case here. I would be ashamed if my name was signed on those boxes, really. Even if the product was great, just the marketing and box design would make me feel ashamed.
@@marcosvictor4935 completely agree mate
I love to see how painfully obvious it is that Linus has never seen a cajon before. It's also cool to see that Teenage Engineering manufactured speakers! The sound does remind me of their company/style.
Also weird that the cajon is just so randomly at an Ikea. I would have never expected them to have one, especially one without snares. Come on Ikea!
Linus: "It's all BASS"
Davie504: TRIGGERED
I own one. It has great sound for the size and it’s at a great price. Teenage Engineering announced this about two years ago, but only the speakers and a turntable that was ultimately cut from the product line because in product testing, people kept breaking it while assembling. I don’t think teenage engineering designed everything else though like the cups, raincoat, drum, pillow, etc. I think that was an ikea desision to make them.
"design teenage engineering" means "Designed by Teenage Engineering". Only visually though, as it turns out (thanks Colin from This Does Not Compute).
Teenage Engineering is also more famous for having designed the OP-1, which is basically the reason the youtube channel Red Means Recording exists
Nice to see Linus have fun sometimes
What is even funnier is that "frekvens" is perfectly pronounced as "frequence".
A random Linus using his epic Note 9 in 2020 without a case...
What a time time to be alive !!!
"Open back design"
It's called a passive radiator.
when an audio guy comments on a PC guy's video :P
Watching Linus try to play the drum incorrectly was a 10/10
Just call it Frequency

PLEASE MAKE MORE ENTERTAINING VIDEOS LIKE THIS! BEST VIDEO FROM YOU GUYS !
4:30 Millennials are confused when a light is just a light and doesn't show all colors of the rainbow.
OK boomer
Watching Linus make fun of this product while presenting it was great. I am glad they created this channel as well. (:
Silver raincoat and pillow... for those times when you haven't dropped enough acid.
Nah, it's for the soon-to-be homeless dude who was kicked out of his apartment, not for blasting music, but being a total Frekven to his neighbors, he was a major Richard if you know what I'm saying, anyways those silver pillows and raincoats are great for not only being reflective at night, but making sure his pillow doesn't become soggy from being on the ground.
The last thing Linus showed is called a Cajon. A instrument used for kick, snare and high hats for low budget songs or just to chill while you are in front of a campfire.
okay, teenage engineering is amazing! They do a ton of really cool synth kits and the like
Everything on this channel is FUEGO
Saw these yesterday at ikea, I love the style they're going for
from seeing these videos I guess that everyone is having fun with this channel and unboxing stuff
,,Europe thing."
This is weird even to us alright!
No. I acutally already have some of the frekvens stuff at home :D
@@elukok Well congrats, you're the weird one !
tbh: if ikea sold a piano and the sign said piano, there would not be any further explenation of what it is xD
I wanted to actually hear what the cajon sounded like :(
I'm sure there'll be other review videos online by people who know what part to hit.
Linus: “It’s all bass”
Also Linus: **more goddamn bass**
Imagine life without LMG
Me myself and games💯💦😩 boi he be ravin
>oh it’s a cajon; >why is he playing it backwards; >”stupidest thing ever”; >where’s my fucking sword
7:54 This is a CAJON (means a cabinet in Spanish and practically its a speaker for punching a wood xD)
Crazy Peruvians, am I right?
And it looks insanely bad.... I've seen Cajons for $25 that looked better than that piece of garbage.
Insanely cheap-looking, thin wood. It even looks like it's left unprotected.
It means drawer, not cabinet.
Box: designed to look like it’s a speaker.
Linus: no one could tell theres a speaker inside.
teenage engineering makes some amazing electronic instruments. very highly regarded.
Yeah, I was expecting so much but was pretty disappointed.
Our church uses a cajon, tambourine, and shakers, instead of a drum set. Drum sets have too much volume and are better for really large auditoriums. It would be a good instrument for Linus's kids to learn on.
German resident here, those swedes are something else huh? These speakers seem super overpriced, seriously to set up a "2.1" (not even true stereo, according to the data sheet) Frekvens sound system would cost 165 euro plus change. There are much more respectable solutions on the market for half the price. The portability seems to only complicate the issue as the battery packs are not included (although relatively reasonably priced) but then when you include the extra 44 euro plus change you would have to fork out for 3 battery packs you're now competing against even better portable speakers.
To put this in perspective instead of paying around 210 euro for the "2.1" Frekvens you could simply spend 145.50 for an LG PL7 XBOOM and only miss out on 10W RMS over the Frekvens but in return get better sound quality, actual stereo sound, better portability and be 55 euros richer.
On another note that box drum thing is apparently a Cajon, a Peruvian percussion instrument if you want to look up how it's supposed to sound simply search for "Cajon" solo on here on TH-cam.
I mean, in Europe (as far as i know) Ikea is in partner ship with the speaker company 'sonos' you're able to find custom sonos lamp speakers as custom sonos wooden speakers and many more. But I've never seen this line of product in the Ikea
As a swede the “frekkquenz” hurts my ears to hear 😂 sorry Linus
the last box in spain is called Cajon flamenco ^^ that is used to play flamenco music with a guitar a lot of claps
Probably would have been wise to take a 5 second google at Teenage Engineering :p
Yeah this deffo seems a lot more like a teenage engineering product than an IKEA product
I somehow have more questions
They make synthesizers
@@00O3O1B they are working on a turntable together too!
@@JonathanPaulin wait, wait.... Is this real? If it is I am very excited.
I did not that the opening theme is actually a song from monstercat. That's pretty neat
Frekvens - sweedish for frequency.
why they don't translate these things is just stupid. can't pronounce half of the stuff in ikea, which makes everything harder than it needs to be
burnzy3210 omg Ikea is Swedish, why would they translate the products to English? Do english companies translate their products to Swedish? 😂
@@burnzy3210 So Volkswagem should change their name to Peoplescars company in US to make it esier?
@@dodecahedron1 I mean.. yeah, technically South Korean manufacturers tend to *localize* their product names, which is the word all of you weirdos are looking for.
Seriously, localization of product names is nothing new, so yeah, it should have at least a secondary name or sub-name, like Markus (Mark) or something wouldn't be awful, not a literal translation 100% of the time since it would create off the wall names but yeah.. localization is a thing companies do. While I wouldn't say "YEAH!, FORCE THEM to make it English!" I will say having a subname for it would great help.
Some mild localisations outside of just making Nagiri into Donuts in Pokemon include:
Dōbutsu no Mori get's called Animal Forest by English speakers, Dōbutsu no Mori is the franchise that started Animal Crossing, and Animal Forest was the English name for the game that came out on the N64.
Zankyou no Terror and "Terror in Resonance" is another example, this time it's a Japanese Anime we're talking about, while the English word "Terror" is in the Japanese title, that does not obviously make it understood by English speakers who do not know Japanese., thus "Terror in Resonance".
I forgot my last example since I was eating some pancakes and watching something else for a bit, but to cut to the chase, there are plenty of companies who name their products with a regional name. It's not absurd, it's not some idiot being Xenophobic (although to say "it's just stupid. [I] can't pronounce half of the stuff [...] which makes it harder than it needs to be." is implying though subtext at least, that they think they SHOULD rather than saying COULD, that's a big difference in this discussion.) and close minded (completely) it's just someone venting their frustration about not having regional names, seriously, why do you other commenters (3 out of 4 total at time of typing) act like regional names and localization is just absurd and nonexistent?
because words outside of the roman alphabet are uncommon and hard to pronounce. also they're apparently simple descriptive words, so why not?
I think this has real value, being too bassy is easy to correct and fix, the other way around is much more difficult to correct since additional bass makes the driver work way harder. Turning up the treble isn't such restriction. Of course there is much more to good sound than just balance, but that goes a long way.
And being modular means you can quite easily add to the system with splitters and additional cables.
