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: Its pretty hard not to like the Zeppelin if you get a chance to let it take over you music playing duties for a spell. It sounds great at any volume with (almost) any music you send its way. From the simple, unorthodox cabinet design to the stylistic ...
Abstract: iPod docks. Cheap, tinny and no replacement for a proper stereo. Prepare to have all those statements challenged by the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin. Oh the humanity... The first thing that strikes you about this dock is its design. It won’t take the clev...
Abstract: Our office has been invaded this week, not since health and safety arrived has something so menacing sat in the corner scaring visitors and staff alike. However there is a difference with this scary sight as this is the B&W Zeppelin which we have for r...
B&W has been making quality audio products for several years, and the companys Zeppelin proves that its at the top of its game. This is no mere iPod dock; it is sophisticated, beautifully designed audio equipment that coaxes the best possible sound ...

Peerless build quality sets apart from the crowd this iPod speaker. The B&W Zeppelin feels solid and exudes high-class attention to detail. And the Zeppelin's audio quality soundly complements its design, giving a detailed and insightful sound, with a...
Stunning appearance; excellent sound quality for a one-piece system; solidly built; clever dock design; unique technical features; digital/analog audio-input jack.
Expensive; large as one-piece iPod speakers go; no data port for syncing iPod with computer; rubber stand clumsy and inelegant compared to the rest of the system.
With a $600 price tag, the Zeppelin is among the most expensive iPod speaker systems we’ve seen; if sound quality is your primary—or only—consideration, there are less-expensive products that compete well. But while you’re s...
Limited remote controls. No bass and treble adjustments. Can’t connect to Mac for iPod syncing.
The Zeppelin will satisfy even the pickiest audiophiles. You can find other iPod speakers that have more features and sound just as good for $599, but if all you want is a splendid-sounding speaker, the Zeppelin is it. ...
The B&W Zeppelin iPod speaker system is certainly one of the loudest and best-sounding youre going to find in this category. Whether its worth $600 to you is another matter....

The best sound we've heard in an iPod dock; incredible looks.
