Fans swear by Sonoro's award-winning audio systems, as well they should: Since 2005 the German brand has made some of the best-sounding (and best-designed) compact audio devices around. Yet aside from their technical achievements, the multipurpose docks, alarm clocks and CD/MP3 players also hit a high note on style. No drab plastic or boxy metal here: These stunners come in glossy, lacquered finishes, including smart neutrals, real wood veneers and poppy primary colors.
