Great sound, good value [Posted on 2008-04-15]
This system and a top iPod equal in sound conventional systems costing much more. Add to that its unsurpassed looks and compact design and you have perhaps the best system for all but the most demanding spaces.
superb product [Posted on 2008-05-16]
This piece of kit is no more and no less than a superbly designed complement to Apple's superbly designed iPod.
Got mine this morning. Experienced the same unpacking delight as one enjoys with Apple products as a piece of wonderful industrial design is extracted from equally lovely and efficient packaging.
Set-up is similarly Apple-esque, i.e none required - just works right out of the box (of course you do have to plug it into a power socket!).
The sound is beyond belief wonderful, smooth, full, and clear at all volumes.
Technical note: I import all my music into iTunes using Apple Lossless Encoding. This occupies half the space of CD encoding (AIFF), so rather more than compressing codecs, but it is worth it. I have read that the iPod's DAC is truly excellent. Thus using a lossless encoding that is played back through a quality sound system such as the Zeppelin is going to give the listener a wonderful experience.
Worth every penny of its not so low price. A bargain, therefore.
excellent speaker system [Posted on 2008-06-14]
Superb sound for the size. Fills the room very well. The iPod dock is slightly mis-aligned on our unit.
Incredible sexy design with fitting sound quality [Posted on 2008-08-08]
I just got my B&W speakers for a few days. First, from the design wise, this is without the best ipod compatible speaker you can find. The texture and quality is fully expressed once you open the box. The speaker was a lot heavier than I expected, indicating the amount of material used in this speaker. Leaving it on the shelf was just plan beautiful.
From sound quality wise, after three days of continuous playing, the speaker still needs warming up, but the sound quality has already surpassed most of the mid-small size speakers in the market. For jazz music or clear voice audio, this speaker delivers at its best. But if you're a rock fan, you might want to look for something like the Bose speakers, which has a thicker base. But I never was a big of a base fan, so...
If you're looking for ipod speaker that looks incredible and sounds great, this one is without doubt your top choice.
Excellent Speaker System that also works with the iPhone 3G [Posted on 2008-08-13]
Thanks to the new iPhone 2.x Firmware, my previous systems, the Apple iHiFi and the Griffin amplifi do not work anymore. Not only is the cellular cross transmission bad also the charging has been disabled. Looking for a new system, I was able to test the B&W Zeppelin in the store and it did not only works perfect with teh iPhone, but it does not have the cellular signal issue (I have found out that B&W did not cut corners and used shielded wiring) and it still charges the iPhone. It's sound is crips and clear. If the iPhone EQ is used the "added bass" setting makes it sound to over the top. I can only highly recommend this system.
