£699 FROM Bowers & Wilkins, bowerswilkins.co.uk FEATURES 240W amplifier, 2x 25mm double-dome tweeters, 2x 90mm mid-range drivers, 1x 150mm subwoofer, 35Hz-24kHz frequency response, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth 5.0 (aptX), 1x USB-C port (service only), 210x650x194mm, 6.5kg
Not before time, Bowers & Wilkins has revived its iconic wireless speaker. The Zeppelin comes with aptX Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect built in – plus you get access to pretty much all the rest of the planet’s stock of music via its responsive Music control app. There’s support for Amazon Alexa, too. And the unit is as good-looking and well made as ever.
Only now it sounds better than ever. While it isn’t a substitute for an actual pair of stereo speakers, the Zeppelin serves up a wide, well-defined and endlessly engaging sound, no matter the genre of music. And although £699 is plenty to pay for a wireless speaker, in this case it seems justified.
