Excellent sound quality, Easy to use app, Sleek design
Awkward controls, Streaming can be unreliable, Not truly portable
To call the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air a "portable" speaker is stretching a point. It's over 2 feet wide, and it doesn't include a rechargeable battery -- so it's tied to AC power as well as to your home network. However, within your home, it will look...
While $599.95 may seem steep for a lifestyle-oriented loudspeaker that isn't a soundbar, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I can find instances where the Zeppelin Air's cost is justifiable. Years ago (10 plus), my mother spent over a grand on Bos...
Abstract: Back in Issue 178, Robert Harley wrote about B&W’s first venture into the brave new world of iPod-based music systems. As Robert rightly pointed out, “Most amplified speaker systems for the iPod are cheap plastic jobs with sound quality so poor you a...
Apple AirPlay which blows Bluetooth away, Stunning looks and even more stunning sound, Solidly built, Music sharing app,
Very Expensive, Different colored lights on the front of the unit mean something. I can never remember what, plus it's hard to see what color is showing far away, Frustrating AirPlay setup. But once done, it's simple to use, Beware the firmware updates.
Abstract: Bowers & Wilkins launched the original Zeppelin years ago as the first dockable iPod stereo system to simultaneously feature heart-melting audio quality and a heart-breaking price tag. But for those who could shell out for the product, which was shap...
In the end, I decided what you pay for in the Zeppelin Air, with its $600 price tag, is all the above: design, build quality, ease of use, and most of all sonics that are a dramatic cut above any of the usual iPod dock fare. I don't want to overstate it ...
Amazing sound, Great build quality, Stylish design
Finicky network connectivity, Lacks true iTunes Windows instructions, Minor network interference, Faux plastic chrome
The Zeppelin Air offers exceptional sound quality for an iPod dock, has a look that screams for attention, and is made by the Ferrari of home audio, Bowers & Wilkins....
Big bold look and sound, takes advantage of Apple's AirPlay, cute little remote
A bit to heavy on the bass for my taste out of the box but this can be adjusted in a few easy steps; a bit too bold looks-wise for Elana's taste; limited functionality on the cute little remote
Improved sound quality. AirPlay for wireless playback. AUX input and composite video pass-through. Can connect via USB for iTunes syncing.
Remote is so-so. Includes printed catalogue of other B&W gear, but no hard-copy owner’s manual. Price puts it out of reach of lots of music fans. Cloth speaker covers are a dust magnet.
It’s pricey, but for music fans, the updated Zeppelin offers excellent sound and great new features for the same price as its predecessor. Product Zeppelin Air Company Bowers & Wilkins Contact bowers-wilkins.com Price $599.95 Requirements iPod, ...
Top-notch audio performance, Sleek, minimal design, Streams audio via AirPlay from Apple devices, Output for sending video content to television,
Expensive, Remote control is awkwardly shaped, missing key features,
With Bowers and Wilkins, you definitely pay for the name and visual design as much as the audio quality. But excellent-sounding Zeppelin Air iPod dock with wireless streaming via AirPlay does not disappoint. ...
