Superlative sound quality in an iPod player, Well-designed iPod docking system, Striking design
Hard to carry/Not really portable, Clunky remote, Cannot navigate iPod menu with remote
We’ve always had a lot of respect for B&W, as they don’t cut corners when it comes to building some really sweet speakers. The Zeppelin continues this tradition and adds a design that benefits sound quality even more than it does the ...

By reference to past all-in-one iPod speakers, a precisely tuned piece of listenable art, with balanced, impressively detailed sound, an unorthodox but attractive enclosure, and a novel chrome dock. Strong performance at volume levels ranging from quie...
High price is only partially justified by differences in audio and design relative to less expensive top performers; threadbare on features and frills save for its optional optical audio input, and rubber stand is less than ideally suited to the unusua...
