The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air is a sleek
High-end iPod/iPhone stereo speaker with built-in Apple AirPlay audio-streaming capabilities. Ample speaker drivers--two 1-inch tweeters
Two 3-inch midrange drivers
And one 5-inch woofer--provide solid sound
Amazing sound
Great build quality
Stylish design
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
Improved sound quality. AirPlay for wireless playback. AUX input and composite video pass-through. Can connect via USB for iTunes syncing.
The editors didn't like
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
Awkward controls
Streaming can be unreliable
Not truly portable
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.
Expensive
Remote control is awkwardly shaped
Missing key features
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
Finicky network connectivity
Lacks true iTunes Windows instructions
Minor network interference
Faux plastic chrome
If you're not an Apple person
You're limited to USB use. Doesn't work with iPods older than the Classic. AirPlay requires setup and maintenance smarts. Status indicator LED on the front will have you reaching for the manual to decode. Looks like a big do
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.
Great sound quality, Attractive design, AirPlay wireless streaming works well
Expensive, Docking stand is redundant if you're using AirPlay
The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air looks like a blimp but, unlike the Hindenberg, it's not a disaster. This iPod speaker dock's good looks, impressive sound quality and useful AirPlay features make it well worth checking out....
Abstract: If you have an iPod then you would surely know of the various docks available in the market and Bowers and Wilkins is a brand that you would definitely have heard about. Well couple of year's back Bowers and Wilkins had come with its dock. They again hit ...
Abstract: Switching between a docked iPhone and an AirPlay device isn't as slick as we'd like, but it works. There is a slight drop in audio quality with AirPlay compared to a docked portable, but either way you can expect a big, powerful sound with lashings of bas...

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...
