Overview
The Zeppelin speaker system will fill a room with stunningly rich, lifelike stereo sound, and deliver a greater level of musical detail from your iPod than you would ever have thought possible.
Bowers & Wilkins; The Zeppelin is from Bowers & Wilkins, the loudspeaker manufacturer whose speakers are used as standard by top recording studios such as Abbey Road and Skywalker Sound. Founded in 1966, the company’s uncompromising, perfectionist approach to sound reproduction has become legendary throughout the audio industry. With Zeppelin, you’re not just getting a modern design classic. You’re getting the benefit of more than 40 years of acoustic knowledge and engineering excellence.
Technology With Zeppelin, Bowers & Wilkins brings features developed for advanced hi fi speakers to your iPod for the first time. Every aspect of Zeppelin is designed according to principles pioneered on high performance B&W models, from the shape of its cabinet to the specially tailored studio-standard technologies within.
Tweeters Zeppelin’s aluminium dome tweeters include refinements made for B&W’s most advanced speakers. These include Nautilus™ tube-loading, a feature that swallows superfluous sound waves from behind the dome so that the sound from the front is as pure as possible
Why is Zeppelin different?
Design: Zeppelin’s rounded tapering shape looks stunning, and is key to spreading the sound evenly around the room. Quality Etched stainless steel back exudes class. Lift Zeppelin to feel its solid build.
The Zeppelins high output will allow your music to go loud with little distortion, while the bass can be easily adjusted to suit the placement of the speaker. The navigational speakers allow you to tone your music to suit your mood (5th Gen & above) and the volume changes will be displayed directly on your ipod screen.

Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Speakers for iPod
Brilliant
Written by KW from Taunton

I got these speakers on my birthday in the summer. First of all they are the best looking speakers around. The sound is amazing an…Read mored you can set the base to how you like. If you want full base i would advise that you put it off the floor because you will not get the sound quality it offers.
These speakers are very loud and the quality is amazing. Although expensive they are worth every penny. I have not had a single problem with the speakers.
I advise everyone to buy... superb!.(3 of 3 people found this review useful)

Just Excellent
Written by MM

Bowers and Wilkins; normally that name is sufficient to inspire and create images of great sound in your head, the powerful bass, …Read morethe clear midranges and sparkling highs is what we have come to expect from Bowers and Wilkins and that’s before the speakers start pumping out sound. If you own the 800 series you know what is being referred to, but if you own the Nautilus then all words need to stop. The Zeppelin is just as good as its bigger siblings, not only in looks but sound as well.
But to be fair I will put it this way, if you need to fill a large hall with sound that blows the knickers off your guests then the 800 series in a 7.1 configuration should be called upon. But if you want to fill your room with the sound just responsible for embarrassing all your guests then go for a Zeppelin.
No one else has anything that comes close in this category.

I really love my Zeppelin. Sounds great with a great bass kick that is lacking in most of these, plus it looks great.
