Sonos SYMFONISK £99

Swedish furniture giant Ikea is at last getting in on the multi-room audio game – at half the price of the brilliant Sonos One, this speaker should finally bring multi-room to the mainstream. It’s a bit of a dull design, although a wall mount (£10) can turn it into an actual bookshelf speaker. Most importantly, however, it works perfectly with all Sonos products and sounds so much more engaging and enjoyable than I expected. The speakers can even be used in stereo, or as two rear speakers in a surround-sound cinema system. ikea.com
