Over the holiday, we had a little get away and stayed in a hotel with very traditional furnishings. There was a radio which didn't get many stations so we resorted to using our iPhone, which wasn't bad. However, when we put it on this old wooden cabinet the sound improved noticeably and when we put it inside it was even better...
On top was good, but inside with the door open was even better. Even though the pitch of the iPhone speakers is high, the wood warmed it up and gave it a little more resonance than it would normally have. With the right furniture pairings, you'd never need to even have speakers attached for music while traveling.

That's a great discovery. Makes me wonder if a similar effect can be achieved within a hotel room empty & open clothes drawer.
Similarly, speaker and soundbar companies demonstrate their wares mounted to curved or angled displays to improve the in-store sound. But then buyers are puzzled when the product doesn't sound as full at home.
