- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2022Colour Name: Midnight GreyVerified PurchaseThe first thing that impresses me about this speaker is its surging bass performance. The volume, strength and dive experience of the low frequency are all excellent. What is even more commendable is that such a quality and quantitative bass performance does not affect the high quality of the mid-frequency and high-frequency. The biggest impression of the intermediate frequency is that it is clear and natural, the vocal performance is warm and listenable, and the details of the instrumental music are also very clear. The high-frequency extension is good, clear but not brittle, and there is almost no too-sharp noise. As for the adaptability of different styles of music, this new generation can also express it accurately and emotionally, and the sound is almost perfect.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 January 2024Colour Name: Midnight GreyVerified PurchaseMy second Zeppelin . . Powerful, clear, crisp and with a deep base that annoys the neighbors . . 🤪
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 November 2023Colour Name: Midnight GreyVerified PurchaseSo it’s an Alexa speaker that has Bluetooth and Airplay by Bowers and Wilkins. So they should be good. Right? What’s so complicated to use?
The Zeppelin is a fantastic capable speaker with 5 speakers, two tweeters of the signature B&W units. Has a centre woofer and 2 speakers in between. It’s in the shape of the zeppelin so that it’s slightly spread out giving it a good sound stage. However, you still feel the sound stage is tightly packed and you want it to be more open. Bass is sufficient. Sound clarity is good and sounds rounded. Instrument clarity is also good. But I wish the sound stage felt slightly wider. Throw any song at it and it plays well. Let it be Jazz by Frank Sinatra, Pop by Taylor Swift, Bollywood, Classics like Fleetwood Mac, Electronic music - zeppelin handles very well. It’s an Allrounder. The speaker is also hi res capable having 24bit 96kHz capability as claimed in several websites. Songs coming out of the speaker sound amazing no doubt. But here’s where the complication begin. The open-ness of the software or its compatibility with streaming software.
1. Supports Apple Music via AirPlay only.
2. Songs can be played through the BW app and it’s not bad.
3. BW app also says what quality of the song is being played and here’s where things get messy than complicated.
4. Have an extended subscription of tidal. Anyway, songs have to be streamed through the app. One has no other option. It’s interesting to note that even if you have highest version of Tidal, for some odd reason it’s doesn’t go beyond CD quality (as displayed on the app)
5. Gets connected to Alexa , Amazon music as well. Have a trial subscription of Amazon Music unlimited that provides hi res music. So if one issues commands through Alexa, the songs played are not hi res. Again this is a problem.
6. Qobuz is a three month trial given by BW. And that’s the only thing that works at high res at the speaker’s full capability.
7. Didn’t bother to try Spotify. As it doesn’t have hi res audio.
8. Amazon Music can only be addressed through Alexa and not through the app.
So if you are buying the zeppelin, set yourself back with the cost of the subscription of Qobuz each month in case you wish to listen to hi res music. Many have prime subscription these days , but that’s not going to cut out if hi res audio is what one wants.
I tried talking to Amazon and they couldn’t figure out why hi res playback is unable. Alexa has no skill for tidal or Qobuz in the UK. So that’s another problem.
So one needs to aware of all these problems before investing in the product. As a speaker it’s fantastic, but software connectivity pulls a star in the review backwards.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 January 2023Colour Name: Midnight GreyVerified PurchaseLooks and sounds fantastic constantly cuts out and needs rebooting so disappointing for a very expensive speaker
So evri did not collect as arranged but I sent back via local collection point on the 26th of Jan Still no refund!
And to make matters worse I purchased a second zeppelin and that has the same issue's
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 June 2024Colour Name: Midnight GreyVerified PurchaseI had the old version for a connected ipod, which was fine.
The sound quality on the new product is even better.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 February 2022Colour Name: Midnight GreyVerified PurchaseNo need for running lights and the volume is jumpy. The sound is good otherwise, also drops it’s blue tooth connection far more often than should be acceptable, has to recovery to factory settings 3 times not since purchasing
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 October 2024Colour Name: Midnight GreyVerified PurchaseGreat sound but Alexa use very temperamental have to talk loudly to get it to respond and often plays music in another room on one of my other devices. This isn’t supposed to happen should always respond to the nearest device, I have to shut the doors on my kitchen lounge bedroom and the room this device is in to get it to respond properly. Very annoying.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 December 2022Colour Name: Midnight GreyVerified PurchaseTypical B&W hi end quality with airplay 2 which works seem less. Probably the best wireless speaker i have heard & used. Better than any Sonos. Deep bass, very loud with superb clear sound. Hi res audio sounds amazing. £260 in a flash Amazon sale was an absolute steal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un son top niveau.
Colour Name: Midnight GreyVerified PurchaseContrairement à de nombreux haut parleurs testés, celui-ci est parfait pour ma conception d' un niveau presque hifi. Basses, médiums et aigus superbement reproduits. Chaque instrument est fidèlement audible.
La plupart des haut parleurs de ce type sont des machines à Boom Boom sans subtilité.

5.0 out of 5 stars Son vraiment au top!
Colour Name: Midnight GreyVerified PurchaseSi cette enceinte n’est pas la plus puissante de sa catégorie, c’est sans aucun doute une des plus voire la plus fidèle ! Son extra dans les basses comme dans les aigues. La spatialisation est vraiment bluffante ce qui ne gâche rien. Ravi de cette acquisition, vraiment !

5.0 out of 5 stars Un suono che non delude mai
Colour Name: Midnight GreyVerified PurchaseDa già possessore del primissimo modello acquistato nel 2007, e mai pentito, ho deciso di passare all'ultima versione per modernizzare il sistema. Il suono è rimasto impeccabile, anzi, migliorato. Basti leggere gli articoli su riviste del settore per rendersi conto di cosa stiamo parlando. Si consiglia in sistema iOS per utilizzarlo al meglio ma non è indispensabile. Mi ha un poco deluso il pannello posteriore in plastica, se pur di ottima fattezza, confronto al modello precedente che era in metallo cromato e lo rendeva più affascinante e pregiato alla vista. Ci sarebbero da dire molte cose belle ma lascio a voi il piacere di scoprirle con l'utilizzo e, soprattutto, l'ascolto dei vostri brani in un modo che forse non avete mai avuto modo di gustare.
Consiglio personale, imparare a saper scegliere la musica che vale la pena ascoltare.
- Pro: suono, design, tecnologia
- Contro: utilizzo della sola banda wifi 2.4 per Airplay, pannello posteriore in plastica "bella", nessun ingrasso analogico ne ottico/digitale
