Bayan Soundbook

Listening to music when you’re travelling is often more painful than pleasurable, with tinny laptop or phone speakers ruining the experience. Yet a carefully curated playlist can be the best way to focus the mind on work, or relax after a day full of meetings. Bayan Audio’s portable Soundbook presents a neat solution. It’s only 16cm long, has an attached flip cover for protection in transit, and allows you to stream music via Bluetooth, eliminating wires. One charge and you’ll be good for 10 hours of music – or radio, thanks to the integrated, invisible aerial. And it has a variety of extra benefits for the business traveller: a built-in microphone turns it into a tool for hands-free conference calls; the crisp audio and TDMA noise rejection technology mean you won’t miss a single word.
