The Bayan Audio SoundBook X3 is a premium Bluetooth speaker system for the smartphone generation.
Encased in brushed aluminium and sporting a power-activating flip-case that doubles as a nifty stand, it's one of the more aesthetically pleasing objects we've had through the office this year.
Reassuringly weighty, it's still small enough to remain portable and packs NFC for easy Bluetooth pairing. All the specs boxes are ticked, then, and there's even an FM radio tuner.
However, it costs quite a lot - £250 - so clearly this thing is going to have to sound as good as it reads if it's going to earn a recommendation.
