Hi Fanus, No, I have not heard either the Ikea bookshelf or speaker/lamp. The next Ikea for me is in Vancouver which is 1,200 Km away. If I get to Vancouver or another ccity with an Ikea next time I’ll try to find the time to check them out.
I don’t use the touch controls on the Sonos One much except for maybe turning the volume up or down or to pause playback if Alexa or the Google Assistant fail to hear me. I can usually do the volume fairly consistently, the area you touch is about half way from front to back and towards the left edge of the speaker is volume down and towards the right edge is volume up. Play/Pause is in the middle. Towards the back of the speaker I think about in the middle left to right is a button which let’s you turn off the microphone and I think there maybe one which you can press to make the assistant listen in case you don’t want to say the wake word.

Have you perhaps hat a chance to listen to an Ikea Speaker to compare the quality with Sonos? Secondly, can you please remind me and others of the touch buttons and swipes one can use on the Sonos One speaker?

You can even get a table lamp with a built-in speaker. These don’t appear to integrate with Alexa or Google Home or anything like that, but at $149 and $249 Canadian, respectively, the bookshelf speakers and table lamp aren’t exactly what I would consider all that expensive. I assume in the US this will translate into $119 and $179 or $189, respectively. The bookshelf speakers are a foot tall, 4 inches wide and 6 inches deep and you can get a wall bracket for a mere $15 and a speaker hook for $10, it allows you to hang the speakers of a rail like some of the systems you can find for in the kitchen where you install a continuous rail under your upper counters and you can then hang utensils off it or get various shelves, paper towel holders etc. You can read all about it below: Symfonisk WiFi Speakers<https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/news/-pubaafe6500?utm_source=Owners_Null_109529816&utm_medium=email&utm_content=image-t0-hero_EN-CA&utm_campaign=IKEA_GA_177543_1358859&et_rid=128689949> Best regards, Sieghard -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
