A great iPod speaker dock, that sounds impressive, but a lack of connectivity will hold it back against other offerings on the market

Review: Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin mini

The design of the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin mini is a thing of beauty. Not as much so as the $800, full-size Zeppelin, but that’s fine. It’s sort of like how da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man might not be the Mona Lisa, it’s still a work of art. But as good as it looks, it can be…

B&W Zeppelin and Zeppelin Mini iPod Sound Systems

When I profiled the B&W Zeppelin and Zeppelin Mini iPod sound systems in my Ultimate Gear blog, I got several requests for a real review. So I contacted B&W, which sent me both units to play with, and I'm happy to report that they both live up to the company's considerable reputation—once you get the settings right. Features Introduced in 2007, the Zeppelin's name derives from its ovoid shape, which is designed to minimize diffraction of sound from the drivers.

Review: B&W Zeppelin Mini

B&W heeft zich met de bloedmooie Zeppelin niet onopgemerkt op de iPod-accesoiremarkt gestort, om het maar eens zacht uit te drukken. Vandaag hebben we de kleinere versie van die Zeppelin op bezoek: de Zeppelin Mini.

Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini

The Zeppelin Mini iPod dock is a smaller version of the original Zeppelin. While it doesn't look as good as its older sibling and doesn't reach quite the same audio heights, it's nevertheless impressive sonically, and it's certainly loud enough to fill a decent-sized room with death metal or whatever else floats your musical boat
