2 5 0 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I With a range from wool-wrapped portable Airplay speakers to bigger, wall-mountable speakers, the sound quality of Libratone’s products is exceptional. The nightingale in Libratone’s logo is a clue to this dedication to high-quality sound, as it refers to the Danish poet Hans Christian Andersen's ‘The Nightingale’, which tells the story of a nightingale that revives a dying emperor with its beautiful song. Libratone is all about purity of sound. The company has racked up a slew of industry accolades and is sure to continue going from strength to strength based on all the praise heaped onto their products. Their Zipp portable speaker features a single 4-inch bass driver and two 1-inch ribbon tweeters driven by 60W of digital amplification. This technicality provides what Libratone describe as ‘360-degree’ audio – meaning the quality of sound will be the same nomatter whereabouts in the room you are. An internal rechargeable battery means the Zipp can go entirely wireless, with Libratone claiming up to eight hours of runtime if you plug in your source direct, or half of that if you’re using AirPlay. And all this presented wearing a posh cashmere cardigan! We want one.
