Living in a multi-level home, the Zeppelin enables me to listen to music on the level where the sound system is not currently placed.

I love the Z-Air! Can't beat the sound quality. But it doesn't work with all iPods, so, try them out before you buy. Great tech support.

I originally became interested in Bowers and Wilkins when I my beats by dre headphones broke, and magnolia recommended the Bowers and Wilkins P5 head phones. The sound on those are amazing and I needed a new iPod speaker so I purchased the Zeppelin Air. I use my zeppelin air daily because I have it hooked up to my tv so i can have audio from my playstation come out of my zeppelin. The sound quality is unbelievable and the amount of bass this speaker puts out amazing. It puts out bass without distorting audio quality and as well can feel the ground moving. I know it is expensive but is is worth every penny. I highly recommend this to anyone!

Best Ipod Dock In the World
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Perfect sound dock for my bedroom. Airplay was extremely easy to set up if you are careful about it (I chose the ethernet way). The airplay does skip sometimes but that is not the zeppelin's fault, it is the router's and apple's fault. Get's extremely loud without distortion. Bass is extremely powerful. Looks classy and beautiful. Definitely worth the money but I got it on sale for $430 so it is worth even more! I just wish my iPhone 5 could connect to it without the adapter because it takes away from its beauty.

Excellent sound for a tabletop system

These speakers offer full rich sound in a small package. We tried several bluetooth options before selecting this system, which includes Apple Airplay to support streaming music from itunes. For comparison, the new Bose portable bluetooth system, which is less expensive, was tinny and the music became distorted at louder volumes. The Bose ipod sounddock offers comparable quality and price, but lacks the Airplay or Bluetooth options. Better display of the connection type (dock, aux, Airplay, etc) would be useful; the system currently uses various led colors to denote the connection type - minor issue.

I have a very high end music system at home and wanted something worth listening to in the bedroom. Listened carefully to all speakers at Best Buy in 200 - 600 price range and matched these to a basic amp with capability to hook to iphone but not though miniplug - which would loose high quality digital by first converting to analogue. Picked out best combination and it came to over $600 without sub - plus wouldn't work wirelessly
Then I listened to the Zeppelin off my iphone docked to some CD quality digital tracks - Norah Jones. Amazing sound - way better than the same priced seperates. No need for a sub, it was that good. Only issue is that I like sound balance better when docked than wireless. When positioned near wall, there's too much bass end, but imaging is great for a bedroom, not as good as separates but respectable. Most impressive is precision / lack of distortion of speakers - clearly the most like my high end KEF Reference 201/2 heard until I tried their $1000+ speakers. You can clearly hear the difference in imaging of sound, depth of field when listening to high quality digital audio using the Zeppelin. If you want to hear genuine CD and higher quality sound this is the system. Very impressed with sound. The only hassle was the struggle to get it connected. Had difficulties with wireless setup until I discovered issues with my network wireless setup. Bought new wireless adapters and after many hours with technical service got these hooked up properly and since it has worked fine. Had to reset many times to get it to connect properly at first but finally figured it out.
Then discovered you could use Airplay to play on my other computer / music systems through the windows pc. After my trial and effort found a program that worked on all but my WIndow7 64 desktop. Finally tonight I found a helpful document on B&W website that explained the problem. Even bought a wireless for desktop which didn't have one to fix problem. Turned out it was a firewall issue and port addressing. Followed instructions and now can play from iTunes to speakers all over house including the Zeppelin. Wow, just great. If you got the perseverance you can get a lot out of the new system. Iphone docking and wireless is just a start. Now that I got it to work I am willing to help others through the jungle. Let me know.

THIS THING ROCKS

I just got my Zeppelin Air yesterday and I absolutley love it. Beside the very cool unconventional look of it, it also sounds great! I'm a huge 80's rock fan and even the stuff I have on my Ipod that hasn't been remastered sounds great.I really like the depth of the Bass and you can almost see the Music while its playing. Alot of the reviews have mentioned difficulty setting up the air play I cannot comment on that, right now I'm in Afghanistan and I can't use my internet service to set up my network so that will have to wait til I get home. It is a bit pricy but if you really love good sounding music than it's all worth it. I have several systems I plug my Ipods into but this blows them all away. Even the remote is cool, it's a little basic and the size might make it easy to lose but it compliments the Zeppelin very well. I may buy another so I can put them in different rooms of the house. I'll let you know how the air play set up goes when I get home. GREAT PIECE OF ELECTRONICS!

Superb Sound - Airplay Works Flawlessly
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Very happy with this purchase. I use this with my Apple ecosystem which includes iPhone 4S, iPhone 3S, iPad 3, and Macbook Air--the Airplay fix works great. No problem switching back and forth. I have this located under an end table one foot away from the wall sitting on a wood floor and the combination of materials really enhances the sound. No distinguishable distortion and also like the fact that I can stream any sound via Airplay. I owned a Sonos 5 system prior to this and returned it for the Zepplin. Very happy with this product and impressed with the company as this is my first experience with Bowers and Wilkins.
If you have Apple products, love high quality sound (MOG, Pandora One, Apple Lossless, etc) you will be very pleased with this product. I also do not have the room or resources for a standalone stereo system and this has turned out to be an excellent choice. Wireless capability also negates the need to use the docking capability.

Overall - Fantastic
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Outstanding sound. You really do want to place this unit in a place that doesn't restrict the back end, otherwise your bass could end up being left too flat or too boomy, depending on the . A very deep bookshelf or the top of a chest of drawers; about 12 to 18 inches away from a back surface.
Flawless functioning between the iPOD dock and the USB (to a laptop). No issues. Sound from both is fantastic. If you find yours is a bit off, don't be afraid to tweek using either the iPods music EQ (a bit restricted, but effective) or the iTunes EQ (a lot more robust - 10 band EQ).
The only issue I had was when switching between USB and Dock, the unit would sometimes just not play any sound. At all. I checked and double checked settings on both units (the Zeppelin and the iPod / Laptop) both configured correctly - just that the unit decided not to play. Nothing (and yes, it had power). Was odd to me - packed it up to take it back to see if something had maybe burned out inside - but upon wifes request to try it when I got it back home, it worked again. This may just be an isolated issue, but overall, this lack of dependability and durability is the only reason I give it 4 of 5.

Great speaker

I am in love with this speaker. I had bought this about a month again and have no buyers remorse. The sound quality if beautiful and after doing some research also found out I could hook it up to my 55" and use it as a sound bar. Makes watching movies feel like I'm in a movie theater. I also like having the airplay, which I use all the time. For people that are having problems setting it up just download the airplay set up from the app store and it will give you step by step instructions on how to set up. After I downloaded that app, airplay set up was a breeze. I absolutely love this product and the brand does not disappoint!

Great AirPlay Speaker

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I purchased 2 Zeppelin Air Speakers since all I own is Apple. Having iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple TVs in our house made AirPlay an easy choice. I knew exactly that I wanted AirPlay and not bluetooth or a docking station. The sound quality is amazing. I love how we can even stream to both speakers at the same time. We are planning on purchasing more to create an entirely wireless network that our Apple devices can utilize throughout the house. Very pleased with my purchase.
The only problem I had was using my Mac to set the speaker up, which I found the iPhone app to be much easier to use for the setup instead.

i'm very impressed, super good balance between highs mids and lows. Obviously not gonna put out earth shaking bass, but wow is it smooth! I really enjoy the airplay! I previously owned Beats By Dre Ipod dock, that has more bass but this is a much more rich balanced speaker, if you have the $ Go for it! you won't be disapointed!

Good product but airplay setup needs an update!!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Zeppelin produces amazing sound. It's so cool to play out of your iPhone. I struggled for four hours to get the airplay to work. It worked in the end and I'm happy. For future customers, read the following carefully and you'll save many hours in setting it up.
1. The box comes with an instruction of how to set up airplay using the ethernet cable (included). THIS DOES NOT WORK!! Don't waste your time.
2. Download the newest firmware and update. This requires a USB cable and takes about five minutes.
3. Install the airplay setup application software on your computer. You should use a desktop or laptop that is connected to the same WIRELESS network. DO NOT USE A DESKTOP with a LAN connection. Running the setup app on an iPhone was tricky and didn't work for me.
After the many hours of agony, it is finally working smoothly and I am happy. However, B&W should update the information clearly on their website.

Amazing

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The Zeppelin air is simply amazing. The sound quality of this little machine is spectacular. Clearly the price point is high, but listening to this vs. other speaker docks is truly a "get what you pay for" experience. After trying 2 other products before sticking with the Zep, there's no question in my mind that it's worth the asking price. While both of the other products were good at their $300 asking price, the Zep is truly at a whole different level sound wise (as it should be considering the price is double). Airplay works great overall, but iPhone 4s users be warned that some iPhone 4s's have problems with Airplay generally (not just this product). Unfortunately, my 4s is affected by this problem and does not work with Airplay. Everytime I try to use Airplay on my 4s with the Zep, music will play for about 10 seconds then stop and I have to unplug my Zep in order for it to pair with any of my other devices again. Here's a summary of how Airplay has worked/not worked for me. There is a very consistent pattern to what works and what doesn't among the devices I have tried: iPad 2 and Macbook air to Zep = flawless. IPhone 4s to Zep Air = problems everytime (again, based on my searches of the web, this is a problem with the 4s and Airplay, not the Zep). While this is definitely frustrating, I'm confident that Apple will take care of this in one of the next updates for the 4s given that it affects all Airplay applications/products. In the meantime, I will use my iPad, Macbook air or put my 4s on the docking port.
In sum, after trying 3 products during this buying experience (and only planning to spend $300 at the start) I am completely satisfied with the Zeppelin Air despite doubling my budget. If sound quality is a premium for you and you can justify the $600 price point, you should definitely give this product a try.
