Sonoro Relax Internet Radio, Glossy White (Piece)

The Sonoro Relax is a compact internet and digital radio for the bedroom or guest room that combines DAB+, over 25,000 internet radio stations, Spotify Connect and Bluetooth with preinstalled wellness and sleep content.

In short: a grown-up radio with a feel-good programme. Instead of garish blinking alarm-clock plastic, you get a hand-sanded wood housing that actually looks good on the nightstand – and wakes you in the morning not with a beep, but with nature sounds.

Why the Relax?

Because it can do more than radio: preinstalled meditations, nature sounds and relaxation music (developed with experts), a dual alarm function for two different wake-up times, and a sleep timer that gently eases you into sleep in the evening. The 2.4-inch display dims automatically so it doesn't disturb you at night. There's no shortage of sources: DAB+, FM, over 25,000 internet radio stations, Spotify Connect, Amazon Music, Deezer and Bluetooth. You control it directly on the unit, via the remote or the app. Visually typical sonoro: hand-sanded, lacquered wood housing – this version in Glossy White with a silver front.

What you hear

A balanced, pleasant sound for small and medium-sized rooms. The upward-firing 3-inch full-range speaker spreads the sound as a 360° soundstage in the room, and the bass-reflex port on the back adds a bit of foundation. For a nightstand, kitchen or guest room, that's dosed just right – full enough for casual background listening without overwhelming the room. The equalizer lets you adjust bass and treble to taste.

Who is the Relax right for?

For anyone looking for a good-looking, smart radio for the bedroom, guest room or home office – with wellness content, alarm function and streaming in a handy housing. Plain talk: the Relax is a mono compact radio, not a hi-fi system. If you want room-filling stereo sound with real deep bass for the living room, you're better off looking at the larger sonoro systems. And it still runs entirely without a subscription: DAB+, FM and internet radio don't cost a cent extra.

Our verdict

A well thought-out nightstand and wellness radio that brings together design, ease of use and sensible extras. If you want to wake up more gently in the morning and fall asleep more relaxed in the evening – and have it look good too – the Relax is a small, fine recommendation.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Relax work as an alarm clock?
Yes, that's what it's made for. The dual alarm function allows two separate wake-up times – handy when two people get up at different times. You can wake up to radio, nature sounds or an alarm tone; in the evening, the sleep timer eases you gently into sleep.

Do I need a paid subscription?
No. DAB+, FM and over 25,000 internet radio stations run without a subscription, as do Bluetooth and the aux input. Streaming services like Spotify Connect, Amazon Music or Deezer are an option, not a requirement.

How good does such a compact device sound?
Surprisingly balanced for its size. The upward-firing 3-inch speaker creates a 360° soundstage, and the bass-reflex port adds a bit of bass. Ideal for the bedroom or guest room – though it's deliberately not meant to replace a hi-fi stereo system in the living room.

What are the wellness contents?
The Relax comes with preinstalled meditations, nature sounds and relaxation music, developed by sonoro together with experts. Three dedicated buttons on the front call them up instantly – no searching through menus or extra app needed.
