The stunning looks of the original Zepplin are in place
But you’ll find it’s now a whole lot lighter
Weighing in at an almost portable 6.2kg. To differentiate the look
You’ll find a black piano lacquer backplate is now in place
Rather than the metallic backing of yore but it’s still a striking look. Never before has an iPod dock looked so good

You’d think with its looks and great sound the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air would be a clear winner. Sadly
It’s not all plain sailing as actually setting up the beast in the first place can be something of a chore. Not only is it a laborious process
Once you’ve got it up and running with your iTunes account
You’ll find that it doesn’t really want to stray too far away from it. Then there is t
Pricey
No Internet radio (despite Wi-Fi connectivity)
It's so expensive
Setup for AirPlay could confuse newbies
Especially because there is no LCD screen
Using AirPlay results in a slight drop in sound quality

Bowers & Wilkins knows that the Zeppelin Air is a premium product. It's very pretty and sounds very good, and now has the advantage of Apple's AirPlay wireless music streaming system -- the only downside is its high price...
This is the best iPod or iPad attach product in Australia today that is under $1,000. The sound is spectacular which is what one expects from a Hi Fi Company like Bowers & Wilkins.
The weakness in the B&W Zeppelin Air, has nothing to do with sound or even B&W but more to do with Apple's poor AirPlay technology, which appears to be in its infancy and a long way away from the slick networking professionalism that Sonos delivers. At the end of the day the Zeppelin Air is more about great sound than networking.

Admite señales de varias fuentes, tanto análogas (entrada minijack de 3.5 mm) como digitales (mini plug óptico) además de AirPlay; gran calidad de sonido
El brazo que tiene el conector tipo dock para el iPod o iPhone es frágil, por lo que te recomiendo lo manejes con cuidado y no le pongas un iPad
¿Buscas un equipo de sonido con una gran calidad, que tenga sonido estéreo con soporte de bajos, que lo puedas colocar tanto en la sala como en tu cuarto y de un diseño atractivo? No busques más, B&W viene al rescate con el Zeppelin Air....
Inventeur du concept de l'enceinte Hi-Fi High End, le constructeur anglais Bowers & Wilkins n'a pas pour habitude de faire des produits au rabais. Sa station d'écoute Zeppelin Air est donc un produit de luxe doté d'un design ravageur et de performances...
