The editors liked

  • Big bold look and sound
  • Takes advantage of Apple's AirPlay
  • Cute little remote
  • Excellent sound quality
  • Easy to use app
  • Sleek design
  • Apple AirPlay which blows Bluetooth away
  • Stunning looks and even more stunning sound
  • Solidly built
  • Music sharing app
  • Top-notch audio performance
  • Sleek
  • Minimal design
  • Streams audio via AirPlay from Apple devices
  • Output for sending video content to television
  • 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.

  • Son équilibré, propre et puissant, Design original / finition luxueuse, Diffusion AirPlay / Dock bien pensé, Connectique assez complète
  • Prix très (trop ?) élevé, Réglages audio limités, Installation Wi-Fi assez pénible, Trop de puissance pour les HP
  • Bowers & Wilkins reste fidèle à sa réputation, en proposant un produit luxueux qui donne entière satisfaction et sonne mieux que la concurrence. Le constructeur est même parvenu à améliorer son Zeppelin déjà excellent! Cependant, en dehors du AirPlay et...

  • Lo Zeppelin Air suona bene … dannatamente bene per essere una docking, dimostrandosi praticamente una scelta obbligata per chi cerca un sistema bello e capace di un buon suono, un oggetto perfetto da regalare all'amato lettore Apple. Non bisogna però fare...
