Verdict

The Bayan Audio Soundbook is a compact, 15-watt stereo portable speaker housed in a premium aluminum casing and wrapped in a protective ballistic nylon smart cover that doubles as a stand and an automatic on/off power switch. Measuring 160mm x 88mm x 38mm and weighing 570g, it features two 1-inch long-throw neodymium drivers, a 2-inch passive bass radiator, a built-in FM radio with an integrated aerial, and an internal microphone for hands-free calls. Key pros include high-fidelity wireless streaming via Bluetooth 4.0 with aptX, fast one-touch NFC pairing, a 3.5mm auxiliary output to act as a Bluetooth receiver, and a dependable battery life of over 10 hours. However, main cons include a lack of deep, heavy bass response due to its physical size limitations, a sound signature that tilts noticeably toward brighter mid and treble frequencies, and a tendency to introduce audio distortion on deep bass tracks when pushed to maximum volumes.

Review: Bayan Audio Soundbook and Soundbook X3 Jump the Pond

Leslie Shapiro’s Sound & Vision review of the UK-designed Bayan Audio Soundbook ($200) and Soundbook X3 ($300) highlights their exceptional build quality, stylish design featuring a protective cover that doubles as a stand, and convenient features like integrated FM radio and NFC pairing. While the larger X3 model improves upon the smaller Soundbook by reducing high-frequency sibilance, the review notes that both units suffer from limited audio clarity and a minimal, narrow stereo soundstage. Despite these sonic limitations, the speakers are recommended for their design and functionality within the competitive portable Bluetooth market.
