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: When an iPod speaker costs $600, it had better be taken very seriously by its designers. Luckily, the new Zeppelin has high-end British speaker manufacturer Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) as its loving parent. It looks like it flew right off the cover of Led Z...
By reference to past all-in-one iPod speakers, a precisely tuned piece of listenable art, with balanced, impressively detailed sound, an unorthodox but attractive enclosure, and a novel chrome dock. Strong performance at volume levels ranging from quie...
High price is only partially justified by differences in audio and design relative to less expensive top performers; threadbare on features and frills save for its optional optical audio input, and rubber stand is less than ideally suited to the unusua...
Though its looks will either sell it or sink it with most potential buyers, the question most people will ask is one that’s easy to answer quickly and incompletely: “Does it sound like a $600 speaker?” Multiple listeners here have ...

Abstract: B&Ws eye catching Zeppeline is an iPod dock for the audio and design purist. Most people consider digital music - that is, tracks stored in a computer-friendly file format - is somehow inferior to what comes out of a CD. This was certainly true i...
