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

The best highend wireless speaker gets a revamp, and the results are glorious. Loud, bright, and very natural sound with excellent bass. Connect via AirPlay, Bluetooth, or Spotify Connect. Easy setup through the app. Arresting design looks like the goddam
Very expensive at $700. Excellentsounding wireless speakers can be had for less. Swapping between input modes is indicated by an inscrutable, colorchanging LED. It sounds best about a foot away from the wall, so don't put it on a bookshelf

Advertisement, Even though the Air looks exactly like the original Zeppelin from 2008, it's a full redesign. Beyond the addition of AirPlay, the newest Zep packs 5 brand new drivers—2 mids, 2 tweeters, and a sub—each powered by its own class-d amp. With 1
Picks up more lint than an army of electrocuted sweaters. Has an annoying tendency to turn itself off after about 30 minutes, necessitating you to find the too-cute, too-tiny remote or simply walk over and switch the thing back on. The LED usually glows e

Overwhelming bassAirPlay is laggyPricey
We certainly can't recommend it as your primary sound system -- the same or more functionality can be had for many fewer dollars -- but the Zeppelin Air is a really fun device. As a casual auxiliary system, it's hard to beat -- we think it has a lot more ...
