## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Outstanding product from Bowers and Wilkins. - Outstanding quality and sound...tricky set up, had to reset after 5mins...however once I got over that it was quick and easy...build quality is supreme and the sound is outstanding....no distortion on high volume and crystal clear sound... worth every penny...very pleased with this and highly recommended... .
Review: Great speaker - if you know how to use it - So 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 , desertcart music as well. Have a trial subscription of desertcart 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. desertcart 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 desertcart 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply Stunning
*by G***2 on 30 December 2024*

My 3rd Zeppelin and by far and away the best. Somehow, B & W have managed to improve the sound quality of an already superb speaker. It’s perfect for smaller spaces where a full blown high rack isn’t practical and the McLaren version looks amazing. Cheaper on Amazon by some distance when I bought it. Highly recommend!
