AUDIO BOOK

Bang & Olufsen’s Beosound Emerge speaker, created in collaboration with Benjamin Hubert from Layer, sits comfortably on a shelf alongside books – it’s no coincidence it looks like a propped-up hardback – while also filling your home with the finest audio. Inside, there’s a 4in driver, 1.45in mid-range driver and 0.6in, all of which can be controlled using Apple Airplay 2, Chromecast and Google Assistant voice control. Choose from gold tone or black anthracite finishes. Bang & Olufsen Beosound Emerge, from £539 (bang-olufsen.com)
