Abstract: Bowers & Wilkins launched the original Zeppelin years ago as the first dockable iPod stereo system to simultaneously feature heart-melting audio quality and a heart-breaking price tag. But for those who could shell out for the product, which was shap...
In the end, I decided what you pay for in the Zeppelin Air, with its $600 price tag, is all the above: design, build quality, ease of use, and most of all sonics that are a dramatic cut above any of the usual iPod dock fare. I don't want to overstate it ...
Amazing sound, Great build quality, Stylish design
Finicky network connectivity, Lacks true iTunes Windows instructions, Minor network interference, Faux plastic chrome
The Zeppelin Air offers exceptional sound quality for an iPod dock, has a look that screams for attention, and is made by the Ferrari of home audio, Bowers & Wilkins....
Big bold look and sound, takes advantage of Apple's AirPlay, cute little remote
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
Improved sound quality. AirPlay for wireless playback. AUX input and composite video pass-through. Can connect via USB for iTunes syncing.
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.
It’s pricey, but for music fans, the updated Zeppelin offers excellent sound and great new features for the same price as its predecessor. Product Zeppelin Air Company Bowers & Wilkins Contact bowers-wilkins.com Price $599.95 Requirements iPod, ...
Top-notch audio performance, Sleek, minimal design, Streams audio via AirPlay from Apple devices, Output for sending video content to television,
Expensive, Remote control is awkwardly shaped, missing key features,
With Bowers and Wilkins, you definitely pay for the name and visual design as much as the audio quality. But excellent-sounding Zeppelin Air iPod dock with wireless streaming via AirPlay does not disappoint. ...

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
While the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air is as pricey as the earlier Zeppelin, Apple AirPlay support and improved sound quality make it a better value.
Abstract: Just announced on Twitter and the Bowers & Wilkins blog.The best sounding iPod® dock yet, it features Apple’s AirPlay technology for high-quality wireless streaming from iTunes® or an iOS device. Compared to the original, multi-award winning Zeppelin, ...
Abstract: Zeppelin Air wasn’t the first all-in-one AirPlay speaker system to be announced—that would be iHome’s less expensive iW1—but it will be the first to actually hit stores. Bowers & Wilkins has used its prior-generation, premium Zeppelin speaker as the b...
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
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
