To be fair to Logitech, the Zeppelin Air costs $200 more than the UE Air Speaker. But for an audiophile, that price difference is justified many times over.
Logitech’s UE Air Speaker sounds better than iHome’s less-expensive iW1 (we haven’t reviewed the iW2), but it lacks that portable speaker’s built-in battery. The Air Speaker’s audio quality is very much inferior to the pricier B&W Zeppelin Air, but we...

Logitech UE Air Speaker
Logitech's elegant ; can capably fill a large room with dynamic sound, and its accompanying UE Air iOS app reduces pairing to a few easy steps.
The rotating hinge under the hardware dock feels flimsy and prone to malfunction.
The Logitech UE Air Speaker is a worthwhile third-party AirPlay speaker for homes demanding premium sound from iOS devices, but bargain hunters can save $100 and go portable with the Bose SoundLink Bluetooth Speaker.

The Logitech UE Air Speaker is a solid wireless AirPlay dock at moderate volumes, but pump it up, and you'll hear distortion.
Attractive, simple design. Quality audio performance at moderate volumes. Streams music wirelessly from Apple iOS devices via AirPlay. Easy setup with free, auto-downloading app.
Distorts on deep bass tracks at high volumes. No remote control for operating docked devices.

The Logitech UE Air Speaker is a stylish AirPlay Speaker with great audio quality and polish not found on many other AirPlay speakers.
There are cheaper speakers, but the Logitech UE Air Speaker deliver an impressive listening solution in a small, well tuned package.

Logitech dips its toes into the realm of AirPlay audio.
(Usually) easy setup ; Convenient Wi-Fi streaming ; Above-average audio quality ; Stylish aesthetics
Expensive pricetag ; Audio quality good, but not great ; Docking iOS devices unnecessarily difficult ; Slightly awkward button placement
If maybe a little more slowly than Apple would like, AirPlay is becoming a staple of the wireless speaker market for iOS devices. The technology has a few advantages: Wi-Fi streaming allows for higher-quality audio than Bluetooth, in theory, and its
