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
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
If you just want to plonk an iPod in a dock and for it to sound amazing then the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air is fantastic. The other features, however, are hard to use....
Abstract: Bowers & Wilkins’ Zeppelin Air iPod dock sounds excellent, looks very stylish and works easily once you’ve got it set up (an initially confusing process). The only concern we have is with its high price tag, which will deter plenty of prospective buyer...
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. At the end of the day the Zeppelin Air is more about great sound than networking.
Abstract: The Play:1 Sonos system has an undeniably classy design with a premium price to match - but it's worth it. The hifi sound quality and performance of the speaker system allows for minimal distortionfrom a small unit, even at load volumes. Premium speake...
Abstract: Product round-up Apple’s AirPlay wireless streaming protocol can be used to play music from an iPod touch, iPhone, iPad, or from iTunes on a Mac or PC, directly to a compatible speaker. AirPlay uses Wi-Fi rather than Bluetooth and so audio is not compr...
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. Never before has an iPod dock looked so good, with the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air iPod dock
You’d think with its looks and great sound the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air would be a clear winner. Sadly, it’s not all plain sailing as actually setting up the beast in the first place can be something of a chore. Not only is it a laborious process, once you’ve got it up and running with your iTunes account, you’ll find that it doesn’t really want to stray too far away from it. Then there is t
Looks can thrill but with a sound quality to match, the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air is the king of the roost for those who need an audio boost for their iPod or iPhone. In fact, we can’t praise the overall gadget quality of this system enough, it’s s...
Excellent sound quality for a medium-sized room; AirPlay works very easily; Great design

B&W's Zeppelin Air is a great-looking iPod dock. The design hasn't aged since the original Zeppelin's launch in 2007. Once you've got AirPlay set up, it's simple to use - we had songs streaming from an iPhone 4 and iTunes on a Macbook Pro within five minu...
