Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini

There's no shame in buying a device just because it's beautiful. If you're reading this review to find out whether the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini is as good-looking as it appears in the photos, I assure you it is. Now that we've established that,...

One of the best sounding iPod docks in its price range. Compact, elegant design. Dock rotates for horizontal iPod view. Connects to PC via USB so remote can control iTunes

For a $400 iPod speaker dock, the Zeppelin Mini lacks some features that an expensive unit should have-but it looks and sounds amazing.

Reviews: Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini

Whether or not this approach will pay off with Zeppelin Mini is going to depend primarily on two things: a consumer's appreciation for the looks of this new audio system, and its preference for the B&W brand name. Having reviewed hundreds of different...

In sum, though we certainly wouldn't call Zeppelin Mini a product of style over substance, there's little question that its aesthetics are more of a selling point than its audio: Bowers & Wilkins is making some of the most distinctive and...

B&W Zeppelin Mini Speakers for iPod

It doesn't reach so high volume as the original Zeppelin, but enough to fill small to midsize rooms, with a detailed and warm sound, the bass is small because of it's size, but it's tight, the RC working distance was improved, the rtating arm is cool

MMM, Just a little more bass would have been great, and the if the price would have been of $350 i would give it 5 stars

B&W Zeppelin Mini Speakers for iPod

I have traded my Bose Sounddock I for the Zeppeline mini as I primarily listen to classical and pop songs,

Handsome design, nice for classical and soft music

Need more bass. Remote is cool looking but easily slip out of your hand. Set timer on your iPhone / iPod but the speaker does not switch off by itself (unlike Bose Sounddock that it has no power on/off switch)

Love the Mini Zepp

I spent about 6 months on and off researching iPod dock systems. I was willing to spend up to $300 to buy a device to play music stored on my iPhone 3G and iPd Nano, as I've transferred all music from CD's to iTunes on my MacBook, and our stereo...

Factor in the size, then it is amazing. Not just for iPods - PC Speakers. Really great sound for watching movies.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RBQPC268G82ZX Update 6/23: Added video of the Zeppelin Mini playing various music and DVD/THX (T2) at the end. After using this for several months now, I grew to appreciate it. To be honest, if you've...
