Our Verdict

Sonos One Gen 2/One SL

IKEA SYMFONISK Bookshelf

The Sonos One Gen 2/One SL is a slightly better speaker than the IKEA SYMFONISK Bookshelf, though they are similar speakers. The Sonos offers very good voice assistant support with Alexa and Google Assistant built-in as long as you don't purchase the SL variant. It also has a somewhat better-balanced sound profile than that of the IKEA. That said, the IKEA can get slightly louder with fewer compression artifacts at max volume, so your audio remains clean when listening at louder volumes.
