Ikea has released the Badkruka, a larger, non-portable Bluetooth speaker that includes an optical input for home theater connectivity. It features multi-speaker pairing, Spotify Tap support, and three distinct EQ modes.

Ikea’s new Badkruka wireless Bluetooth speaker is now available in the US for $59.99.
