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

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

Three-way stereo system with two tweeters, two midrange drivers and one woofer; 100W of power; mirror-polished stainless steel cabinet with black cloth grille; matching remote control; video output for hookup to a TV
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; light on features
