The editors didn't like

  • Top side attracts dust easily. No Airplay setup instructions in the box
  • Expensive
  • Could sound a little better for the price
  • No built-in rechargeable battery for mobile use
  • Awkward

  • Cheap
  • Plasticky remote
  • There's an old Italian proverbthat says
  • “Your cart is only as good as the donkey you've hitched it to.” And AirPlay is one flakey donkey. Charging dock on top only works with Apple handsets with Lightning ports — iPhone 5
  • IPod Touch and iPod Nano. 0 onl
  • Compression and high volumes
  • Limited bass output
  • Lightning connector dock only works with newer iOS devices

  • Introduction Bowers & Wilkins has just expanded its massively popular compact speaker range. The Bowers & Wilkins Z2 is the baby of the bunch, and is a lifestyle-leaning speaker that's just gagging to live on your kitchentop, or in your lounge. It's enter...

  • Abstract:  Bowers & Wilkins's $400 is the apparent successor to the company's , but instead of a 30-pin dock connector, the Z2 features a dock and wireless streaming. Supporting the latest iPhone, iPod touch, and iPod nano models, the Z2 is available in black ...

  • Configuración sencilla, Lightning y Airplay, Construcción solida
  • Diseño poco arriesgado, Podría tener más potencia
  • En lo que a bases de altavoces para iPhone o iPad se refiere, Bowers & Wilkins es una referencia. Con un sistema de configuración sencillo y fiable, el sonido de la Z2 es limpio en nuestro análisis, lleno de matices y, aunque no resulta excesivamente p...

  • Rendu audio, Esthétique et sobriété, Finition, Connectique
  • Graves en retrait du reste du spectre, Très orienté Apple, Pas d'appli Android (juste Apple et Microsoft)
  • Le Z2 de B&W offre une belle finition et une bonne qualité sonore. Il est toutefois orienté vers un public doté de produit Apple et ses performances audio sont légèrement en retrait de celles de la SoundDock de Bose. LES NUMERIQUES Donnez votre a...

  • La télécommande,  Le dock Lightning,  La compatibilité AirPlay
  •  Un prix un peu élevé...
  • La Z2 est un nouveau coup de maître de Bowers & Wilkins, qui ravira les passionnés de musique, et en particulier ceux qui ont acheté un iPhone ou un iPod ces derniers mois. Et pour bien profiter d'un bon vieux Slayer, il suffit d'ouvrir iTunes, d'ajuster...

  • Design épuré, Finition, Qualité audio jusqu'à mi-puissance, Connecteur Lightning, Compatibilité AirPlay
  • Alimentation externe, Les graves manquent de profondeur au 3/4 de la puissance, Brouillon à pleine puissance
  • Avec la Z2, Bowers & Wilkins propose une enceinte de qualité intégrant un dock Lightning pour l'iPhone 5, l'iPod touch 5G ou bien encore l'iPod nano 7G. Facturée environ 400 euros, elle s'offre le luxe d'assurer la prise en charge d'AirPlay ce qui la rend...

  • Sehr guter Klang, hochwertige Verarbeitung
  • Keine gedruckte Anleitung, Statusanzeige kompliziert über mehrfarbige LED, LightningDock nicht für das iPad
  • Mit seinen kleinen Maßen ist der Bowers & Wilkins Z2 nicht für die Beschallung einer Party geeignet, aber sehr wohl für das entspannte Musikhören im Büro oder anderen kleineren Räumen. In dieser Preisklasse finden sich nur wenige ähnlich entspannt klingen...

  • Lightning-Stecker, Einrichtung, Verarbeitung, Klangqualität
  • nur für Apple-Mobilgeräte
  • Beim Z2 ist unschwer zu erkennen, welche Erfahrung man beim britischen Traditionsunternehmen mit kompakten Airplay-Lautsprechern hat. Die Einrichtung ist extrem einfach und gradlinig. Auch störte während der Testphase kein einziges Netzwerkproblem den Be...
