Zeppelin (iPod speaker system)

Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin

The Zeppelin is a group of speaker systems sold, designed, and manufactured by the English audio company Bowers & Wilkins for use with the iPod. The original speaker, the Zeppelin, was on sale from 2006-2011. WhatHiFi considered that it "set the benchmark for premium iPod speaker docks".[1][2]

The device has now been updated, and renamed the Zeppelin Air. It received substantial reviews by PC magazine, which rated it "excellent",[3] and from What HiFi.[1] The firm also uses the Zeppelin brand to market the Zeppelin Mini, which was reviewed by PCmag,[3] and What HiFi,[1] in connection with their Zeppelin Air reviews. What HiFi said that "despite its smaller stature, there was no dip in sound quality."[1]
