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.

Detailed, musical sound quality, iconic design, convenience of AirPlay
Poor quality video output, connection issues, no album art support, expensive
Overall, the Zeppelin Air is a worthy upgrade on an already lauded design. The inclusion of AirPlay seems a natural evolution, and performance is suitably premium. If you’re looking for a high-end sound system for your iTunes collections you’ll not be ...
