The Art Sono? A dock to love!

The Art Sono? A dock to love! The Art Sono: an iPod dock that thinks it's a supercar

Let’s be clear from the start. We’re normally skeptical of any product that’s designed with sports cars in mind. If you wanted to build a sports car, then build a sports car! That said the Art Sono iPod dock is a whole different kettle of fish. And we like it…

Costing a reassuringly expensive £1,600, the Art Sono is made from aircraft-quality aluminium, which gives it that solid super-car feel. Apparently it’s the same metal that’s been used to construct components for Ferraris. And it does look as cool as a Ferrari, with an “Engine Start” button replacing the power button.

The Art Sono is also the only consumer product to feature a little-known tech called DWC Aphex that’s more common to professional music studios. That attention to build quality and sound – the DWC Aphex tech polishes your iPod’s compressed tunes to an outstanding level – is an iPod dock that has the feel of a supercar, the grunt of a Ferrari, and the price to match!
