I received this radio as a retirement gift (chose it from a catalog) from my company. The sound is good, but don't expect it to keep the correct time. After setting the time, it automatically goes back to 12:00 once you turn on the radio. I have returned this radio twice, and received radios back with the same exact problem. The distributor realizes the problem (said he has had other complaints with the same problem), and even contacted the Home Office folks in Germany. They realize there is a problem, but don't know how to fix it. I was told by the distributor yesterday in an email that there is nothing more he can do. For the price of these radios, you would think they would have gotten this issue cleared up, and/or offer a different model in return (I told them I would pay any extra costs involved). It's not often that a manufacturer's responses are this disappointing. Stay away from Sonoro.

As I said in the title, the unit looks great and sounds really good (for a table top radio). However, there are a couple of things that really bug me: 1) you have to set the clock manually which is lame considering all other modern internet radios can fetch time and set the clock automatically...why can't this unit do it? 2) it is a multi-step process to switch from FM to iRadio and the presets are distinct between the two...i'd rather have preset 1 be an FM station and preset 2 be an iRadio station but presets can't switch between the various input/media/source types. 3) Beware of how non-intuitive Reciva is (the internet service that Sonoro uses to setup iRadio stations, streams, pandora, etc.) -it takes quite a time to get used to the site.

Good luck...with patience, it can be quite a nifty radio.

I purchased this radio 2 weeks ago. I couldn't get Pandora to load onto to it. Had trouble finding service, I finally had to call Reciva's UK office to get service. Pandora worked but then iRadio would not connect. I'm returning this week.

Want Sonoro AU4101BL Elements W Audio System (Black) Discount?

Design is as good as it could get, beats the competition down to the ground and esthetic is really important to me.

Sound is the reason I bought it, nothing sounds better at this size.

Interface....just not worth your nerves! It's so hard to hook it up wi-fi, and you're probably have to repeat procedure every time you turn it on.

Radio reception also disappointing.

Clock resets itself with no reason etc.

If you're gonna use it to play music from iPhone, don't waste your money.

I got it for 170$ it was store demo unit, but mint condition, I'm satisfied what I got for my money.

Cheers!

Absolutely worth every penny. The sound quality is incredible for what I consider to be a bedside radio... The internal antennae is amazingly powerful as far as FM goes. My former bedside radio was a Tivoli, but it had to have an external antennae for most stations...not the Sonoro. Love everything about it!! iRadio rocks....switches from a station in Croatia to a Station in Instanbul in a heartbeat. Not a single negative on this purchase!

Fairly easy to program...if you remember your wireless router's security passwords!!

If you are considering it, go for it you won't regret it.

If you don't go for it, you have no idea what you're missing and when you finally encounter one at a friend's home...you'll definitely envy them and regret missing out all that time!

It sooooooooooooooo rocks!
