Bayan Audio Soundbook

Bags of features ; Well-made ; Cute looks

Tiring sound ; Treble-heavy ; Some distortion at higher volumes

Neat, compact design ; Smart finish ; Easy to use ; Good controls ; Clear and snappy sound ; Good detail with expressive voices ; Portable ; FM tuner

Lightweight, thin sound ; Bass could be deeper and more solid ; Treble sounds bright at high volume

We like how easy to use the Bayan Audio SoundBook is. It has some clever design touches that make it an attractive product, and the FM tuner is a bonus.

Sound quality has been an important part of this device – you can really tell when you listen to music. This isn’t just a cheap device with cheap sound, this is a very, very nice product producing extremely good sound. I was very impressed indeed.
