Stunningly stylish. Superb audio quality.
This is B&W’s first iPod-compatible product and it's a real high flyer. It looks like something Batman might have under Wayne Manor to play his Bat tunes on (Bat Out Of Hell
Perhaps?). Sonically it’s awesome
With a 100W of digital amplif...

The editors didn't like
As weighty physically as it is in bass
Pricey for its category (but it sits proudly at the top-end)
Expensive
Large footprint
Cosmetic similarities to original Zeppelin may not convince owners to upgrade
Video output disappointing
Quirky remote
No Android app
Midrange could use more authority
Rivals are better equipped
Still kinda pricey
Inevitably limited stereo effect
Bass isn’t as big as with larger speakers
Costs a fortune
The remote control is a bit basic for something this costly. That’s it...
Expensive. Bass could have been more boomy
Only a couple of negatives. The USB port is for software upgrades only
So there's no way to connect the Zeppelin to your computer for iPod syncing. Also it costs £400 – that’s pricey for any iPod dock.
No Chromecast
Tricky to accommodate
No physical inputs
Very expensive
Sounds better on acoustic music than bass-heavy genres such as rock and hip-hop
Rubberised mounting stand seems better-suited to a cheaper product
Abstract: This is the fourth iteration of Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin sound system, officially announced in October 2021 – almost 20 years to the day after Apple introduced its very first iPod. Why is that significant? Some of you may remember the first Zeppelin, lau...
No Chromecast, Tricky to accommodate, No physical inputs
The B&W Zeppelin is an excellent modernisation of an iconic piece of British audio engineering. It can't match the stereo imaging of a premium pair of speakers but sounds superb nonetheless, looks striking and is well-equipped to meet most people's stream...
Refined and powerful sound, Extremely well made, Excellent bluetooth implementation
Rather large, No UPnP streaming, Fairly pricey
Since the initial launch of the first iteration of Zeppelin, the big speaker from Bowers & Wilkins has been seen as the sound choice at the price. Nothing really changes with this third iteration of the speaker but against the stiff competition that now m...
The Zeppelin Wireless builds upon its rich heritage with improvements across the board. The new design is fantastic and with improved connectivity options it's exceedingly more versatile than its predecessors. It is undeniably expensive, but its sound qua...

No Android app, Midrange could use more authority, Rivals are better equipped,
The Zeppelin Wireless keeps the range's legacy alive, combining a highly accomplished sound with greater functionality and a seamless design.Pricier speakers might have more to offer when it comes to timing, drive and overall authority, but at £500, the Z...

Detailed mid, range, Powerful, controlled bass, Improved iconic design, More open system
Still kinda pricey, Inevitably limited stereo effect
The new Zeppelin Wireless is a beautiful-looking and beautiful-sounding network music player, bringing back the classic design with an even more powerful, yet detailed, aural experience...
Iconic design but with new, Sleek lines; Spotify Connect and Bluetooth aptX support; AirPlay lossless through a dedicated control app; superb bass response from a reasonably small cabinet; five drive units to give all round audio experience
As weighty physically as it is in bass; pricey for its category (but it sits proudly at the top-end)
Bowers & Wilkins' Zeppelin range over the years has always impressed where it most matters – with the music playback performance. The British company is renowned for putting aside fancy gimmicks and focusing on the audio experience foremost.That's not to...

Despite some lag between control and execution – an issue we've encountered with all AirPlay systems – the Zeppelin Air produced sonically engaging results both from a docked Apple device and wirelessly
