What our customer's say!

"great speaker you could ever have", Pro:
1, There would be no electricity noise AT ALL when you pause the music, which is a common problem in most speakers in the market even in Bose Companion 5 (I should know, had it before).

2, Music sounds continuous and balanced because it has 4 speakers and one bass in the middle

3, Easy to connect to ipod iphone and computers.

4, They also have firmware upgrade.

Cons:
1, The remote is not very sensitive. It would work fine if pointed directly at the front of the Zeppelin, but would struggle from the sides or if facing away from the Zeppelin.

2, There would only be a power cord in the box. If you want to connect to computers or other thing like CD player, you need to get your own cord which is easy to get at radio-shack.

"The best speaker for iPod.", I ordered one on Dec. 22nd and Amzon delivered in 2 days without extra charge. Thanks.
Product is designed in U.K. assembled in China. Look real good and sound real good. Perform very well with voice but you will hear bit of metal sound for piano music. I believe the sound quality will be improved after certain period of aging. Stronly recommended if the sound is as important as the design. I love it.

"The best piece of machinery I found for some time!! ", Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Loudspeaker Dock System for iPod and MP3 Players (Silver/Black)

Got this one month ago!! Have not had a single day without total pleasure!! Excellent built quality and the sound is so so good! Its crisp,, loud when needed,, easy to use,, and more!!! It can replace many bulky speakers we all own! Its a beauty to see it on a stand ,, even when its not playing!
It is a bit heavy so carrying around is a bit difficult also given there is no handle ( But I carry it like a child - and aint complaining at all!!) Its been the center of attraction when ever i've taken her out!!

You will need to re-rip your CD library if you are to really enjoy good music!! And beleive me you will!! I've spent almost the last month re-ripping my library of 40,000+ songs!!! So this baby does make you spend more time at home!! Also I note it is even better when I stream the music from my MAC,, so thats a recommendation!

All in all 5 stars!! BUY IT!! It sure will please you for years to come!!


"All in one best around", If you go to the B&W website, you'll see that the Zeppelin has won several awards and rightfully so. The little details on this bad boy set it apart from the rest. Here's my take on it.

I like the chrome trim down the middle that discretely contains the power switch and volume up & down buttons. The sound quality and fit and finishes remind me of Bang & Olufson stereos in the 90's. It feels very heavy and sturdy. The packing was well done too.

Is it just me or am I the only one that doesn't like being surrounded by 4 towers speakers, a center channel, stereo components, and subwoofer? Not to mention the tons of wires going between all those things. I cleared out the surround system in the living room and bedroom and I feel a lot happier. Simple is better and Zeppelin hit it on the mark in the style and simplicity category. I also like that there isn't a huge power adapter eyesore; just one cord.

There's a line in jack on the Zeppelin, so it would be a great speaker for a flat panel tv as well. What a clean setup that would be sitting on the glass open shelf of a black BDI Vista stand. Reminds me of that Audi commercial where the camera goes around the room as furniture gets replaced with modern furniture.

I was a bit concerned that there is no subwoofer out jack but the Zeppelin turned out to be loud enough for my bedroom. If one really wants to attach a subwoofer, it would be possible to add a Y cable to splice the line in so it goes to both the Zeppelin and the subwoofer. One could link an ipod or other auxiliary source that way. However, it is not possible to add a subwoofer when an ipod is playing in the holder.

The shape of the speaker really disperses the sound well. The sound that comes out of the Zeppelin is very interesting. I'm sitting here 90 degrees to the side of it but the sound is coming at me rather directly and the highs are not muted like feeling like I'm behind the speaker.

I bought the unit for $493 new as a buy it now including shipping on that other bay. In this economy there are still great deals out there.



"This is the Dogs B*&&*#$s", This is quite simply the best piece of audio equipment I've ever bought. Fantastic build quality and even better sound quality.

"Great sound, good value", This system and a top iPod equal in sound conventional systems costing much more. Add to that its unsurpassed looks and compact design and you have perhaps the best system for all but the most demanding spaces.
