US EditionSonos and Ikea break up, but software updates will continue for Symfonisk hardware
- Sonos announced on Tuesday that it will end its partnership with Ikea on the Symfonisk speaker line after eight years of collaboration.

- Sonos confirmed it will not develop new Symfonisk devices but will continue software updates and support for existing products, with no definite end date announced.
- This end of collaboration implies Sonos will focus on internal product stability while Ikea continues selling remaining inventory without plans for new speaker technology partnerships.
