The Bayan Audio team focus a great deal on build quality to produce a natural sound that has depth, balance and clarity. The quality of sounds produced from today's digital, methods are over synthesised, which after a long period of play can lead you to experience tiredness, so they avoid these methods and invest more in the quality of the materials which they use.
Natural materials such as wood or metal produce the best sound performance so Bayan Audio try where possible to use them in all of their products. If they have to use plastic, they make sure it's recycled so that they can do their bit for the planet too.
Bayan Audio has enjoyed great success since launch and despite the tough economic climate they have expanded out of the UK market and their products are now also available in Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and Russia. They are also planning to expand into the Far East later this year.
