Over the last year, IKEA has been focused on refreshing its smart home line with new and affordable products. This includes smart lights, switches, smart sensors, and more. It appears that the Swedish retailer isn’t quite done expanding its smart home line just yet. The company is now launching a new Bluetooth speaker.

IKEA’s new Bluetooth speaker is called the Badkruka, and it’s currently available on IKEA’s US online store. Design-wise, it’s a black cube with physical controls for volume and media playback. It also includes a dedicated Spotify Tap button that can launch your music right where you left off. It honestly looks somewhat like Valve’s Steam Machine, but with holes in the front.

Although the listing does not dive into the technical details, it does offer some interesting information. The speakers are described as providing a “balanced, mid-range sound.” It also features three EQ settings, designed to help you fine-tune the audio to match your personal taste and the music you’re listening to.

However, the Badkruka’s key feature is its ability to pair with multiple units. You can connect the speaker with another to create a stereo experience, and you can pair them with your TV. If you have other IKEA speakers, the Badkruka can connect to them as well for a synchronized listening experience. That means you can listen to your music from several speakers, allowing you to enjoy multi-room playback.

The IKEA Badkruka comes with a price tag of $59.99. It’s available in only two color options: Black and Pink. There’s no mention of a battery, suggesting this speaker is meant to be stationary.
