No streaming for non-Apple products, Can sound small and closed in, Awkward remote
Everything we love about the B&W Z2 is still there, but it's starting to lag in terms of streaming features and outright sound quality. Most wireless speakers now support streaming from all OS devices, and the B&W Z2 might just be missing a trick with f...
Abstract: The baby of B&W's AirPlay range is a little belter, and it adds a proper Lightning dock to Apple's wireless tech. It'll easily fill a small to medium-sized room with chunky bass...
Bowers & Wilkins's £699 A7 remains the priciest AirPlay speaker I've tested, and it sounds exceptional. The company's Z2 costs half as much, but it still sounds very, very good. While the Z2 can't rival the A7's sound, it's far more affordable, it's consi...
Offers both AirPlay and a Lightning-connector dock; Very impressive sound
Cheap, plasticky remote

The elegantly designed, yet relatively affordable, Bowers & Wilkins Z2 speaker system raises the bar for audio quality, and offers wireless AirPlay connectivity along with a Lightning connector to dock your iPhone or iPod touch....

The Bowers & Wilkins Z2 is a compact AirPlay speaker with an integrated Lightning dock that's attractively designed, sounds good for its size, and is lightweight enough to easily move from room to room (though it does have to be powered by an AC adapter)
Expensive, could sound a little better for the price, no built-in rechargeable battery for mobile use
The attractively designed $400 Bowers & Wilkins Z2 wireless speaker sounds pretty good and has a built-in Lightning dock, but it doesn't quite stand out enough in a crowded market.
Sound is natural, bright and full. Gets satisfyingly loud. Looks gorgeous, with softtouch material around the top and bottom and a sleek metal grill in front. Comes in black and white
There's an old Italian proverbthat says, “Your cart is only as good as the donkey you've hitched it to.” And AirPlay is one flakey donkey. Charging dock on top only works with Apple handsets with Lightning ports — iPhone 5, iPod Touch and iPod Nano. 0 onl
