The Zeppelin Air is very expensive, and it offers little stereo separation unless you're sitting or standing near the speaker. AirPlay setup may be tough for first-timers, and there are some compromises when controlling via iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch
While the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air is as pricey as the earlier Zeppelin, Apple AirPlay support and improved sound quality make it a better value.

Abstract: Zeppelin Air wasn’t the first all-in-one AirPlay speaker system to be announced—that would be iHome’s less expensive iW1—but it will be the first to actually hit stores. Bowers & Wilkins has used its prior-generation, premium Zeppelin speaker as the b...
Killer sound, period. Wireless AirPlay streaming adds convenience while maintaining HD audio quality. So many upgrades over the original, yet the price is the same. Consumes only 0.8 watts in standby mode. Oh, and it charges your iPhone, too

Excellent sound quality for a medium-sized room, AirPlay works very easily, Great design
It's so expensive, Setup for AirPlay could confuse newbies, especially because there is no LCD screen
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.
