Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin: Amazing sound quality

Impressive sound
Different design, but beautiful
Simply connected
Design not for every living room

The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin stands out with its appearance, but stands out even more with its sound quality. It is of an unprecedented high quality. Only the design is not suitable for every living room.

design The design of the speaker catches my eye immediately upon unpacking. This elongated design looks a bit unusual at first, but it certainly doesn't look out of place in the right interior. The speaker is also nicely finished and at the top I find buttons to control the music. There is also a reset button on the back with which I reset the speaker to factory settings.

Connected quickly I connect the speaker to mains power and download the Bowers & Wilkins app. After that, everything goes pretty quickly. The speaker is installed within a few minutes using the app and I now stream music wirelessly via WiFi. When there are problems with the wifi at my house, I just hold the connect button and it switches to bluetooth. I stream music in different ways.

Impressive sound quality It hits right on the first song I play. What an unprecedented high performance this speaker delivers in terms of sound quality. It is immersive, crystal clear and reproduces a powerful and deep bass. It seems like I have several speakers in front of me, but it's really just one. Listening to music is a real pleasure with this speaker and I play all my favorite songs.

Chef's kiss

Beautiful design
Unparalleled sound
AirPlay 2 supported
No native Apple Music integration

The design and build quality are top notch. Very beautiful and iconic design. Definitely comes into its own in small to medium spaces. Construction quality is what we can expect from B&W. Sound. The sound is just about perfect for what you expect from a similar solution. If you have a decent source, such as a lossless format, all you have to do is close your eyes and imagine yourself next to the musician. One disadvantage, it is impossible to sit still. Two real negatives The WiFi can only be connected to a 2.4 GHz network. Finally, Apple Music does not have native integration with the app, so you have to rely on AirPlay. This means that you cannot play the High-Res Lossless. Not that most users would miss it.

Review is 5,7 out of 10.

Beautiful but poorly programmed and unreliable

Sound is great
Design is great
Streaming with Bluetooth, i.e. without using WiFi, is still fairly reliable. But that's the only thing.
...if you get it working

Due to the poor software from B&W and their app, the use of the device is extremely annoying due to the many connection failures/losses.
