Bayan 3

Using natural materials has become commonplace in hi-fi equipment over the past few years and now we have something for the personal media player space hoevering just above the €100 mark. The Bayan 3 uses 9mm solid wood speakers to deliver a proportionately powerful, clean and natural distortion-free sound.

Packing a big punch into a small design, the Bayan 3 projects 45W RMS alongside a 5.25" bass speaker, a 2" mid/high frequency speaker and a charge and play port compatible with iPhone and iPod devices.

Price: £99.99
