Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air 2.1 Wireless AirPlay Speaker System Review

Let me just say first the speakers sound like diamonds. Setting up airplay simply takes methodical following of directions. The only real issue I had was with updating the firmware on Windows. Windows didn't demand to install the driver like it should have so I simply went to the device manager and installed it from there (from the same folder the firmware program installed to). Other than that, things were pretty clear. The end result is I am sitting here listening to Nancy Sinatra sing You Only Live Twice over airplay from iTunes. It sounds nothing short of incredible. This is a definite upgrade of internal components from the first lovely Zeppelin. I am definitely a B&W fan after it being my speaker of choice for my 3D home theater, my speakers for my computer (MM1s) and now this beauty for my bedroom. Far better speakers than what Bose or any other wannabes are putting out. This is the REAL deal, high quality speakers, not simply a resonance box. (BTW, I also have the Bose iPod Dock which this will replace) When you start from top end speakers, everything else falls into place. The iPod connector is simply the best of the lot as well. No sides on the connector so you can even pop your iPad on there, something you can't do with any other of these players. It's a metal bar holding it up so plenty of strength and quality there. In summary, a beautiful speaker system, artfully designed, that will make you fall in love with your music all over again.

Zeppelin Air is the ultimate AirPlay wireless speaker system; the best sounding Zeppelin yet, it features dramatic changes over previous models. Plus it is the first premium iPod speaker to feature the new Apple AirPlay wireless streaming technology. Its fully active 2.1 design means that all five units are individually driven by dedicated audiophile class D amplifiers, which were specially designed for Bowers & Wilkins. The improved 4x25 Watts + 1x50 Watts output powers improved drive units, many of which are smaller for improved dispersion. The addition of Bowers & Wilkins Flowport technology and advanced Digital Signal Processing has dramatically improved the bass performance. The DACs have also been upgraded, with new 24bit/96KHz capability for improved performance. Apple's AirPlay technology allows music to be streamed wirelessly from your Mac or PC to Zeppelin Air. You can even bypass the computer entirely, and stream high-quality audio directly from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. All without the need to dock the device. If you have more than one Zeppelin Air, you can use them in an elegant multiroom system.FeaturesFrequency response -51Hz - 36kHz +-3dB on reference axis Frequency range --6dB at 36Hz and 42kHz Amplifier power output -2x 25W (tweeter) / 2x 25W (midrange) / 1x 50W (subwoofer) Input voltage -100V - 240V ~ 50/60Hz Inputs -iPod / iPhone (30-pin connector); Network (RJ45 Ethernet or Wi-Fi); Auxiliary - analogue / optical digital (3.5mm mini jack); Streaming, synchronization & firmware upgrades (USB 2.0) Outputs -Composite Video (RCA Phono) Dimensions (HxWxD) -6.8 x 25.2 x 8.2 in.
