What is a Zeppelin without air? Well, that’s exactly what the folks at Bowers and Wilkins were asking themselves when developing the latest generation of Zeppelin music system!
We are not talking about the airships, but instead one of the most advanced docking stations in home entertainment. The Zeppelin sound system’s, long black design mimics the silhouette of the airship, improving upon the already celebrated design and features, namely with the addition of Apple Air.
Now in its third generation, the Zeppelin has moved beyond simple docking. The designers at B&W have incorporated Apple Air, so that users can easily stream music from any part of their home and play it on their Zeppelin. How does this happen? Easy, the Zeppelin now has an internal Wi-Fi which is able to connect with your iPod, iPhone or iPad for easy song selection. Giving you maximum control wirelessly, with better quality than you would experience with Bluetooth.
And the creative geniuses at B&W did not stop there! The Zeppelin might look similar to other generations, but it is in fact much lighter for easy carrying. Then after you turn it on, there is one more hidden surprise…the huge sound.
The many who have reviewed the Zeppelin Air report that it delivers a much bigger sound than you would ever expect from a sound system of that size. There is more bass and the Zeppelin just seems to be louder that past models.
At The Sound Room, we love our Zeppelin Air display and have heard glowing feedback from our customers. If you are looking for a sound system, consider the Zeppelin Air. It is truly a premium product and a great value!

The Bowers and Wilkins Zeppelin may be named after the famous airships but the similarities stop there. After exploding into the market in 2007 the Zeppelin has been featured in publications like Rolling Stone and USA Today for its superior sound quality as a high-end iPod stereo. What’s the big difference between any other iPod dock and the Zeppelin, the answer is plenty. Just looking at a Zeppelin it is obvious that there is something different. Its sleek, long black design mimics the silhouette of a Zeppelin airship. The design complements the look and feel of an iPod with features such as a mirror-polished stainless steel back.
If the design alone doesn’t blow you away, the sound it delivers might. A Zeppelin is powered by two woofers, two tweeters and five inch subwoofer. The 100 watt iPod stereo can fill any room with crisp music and thumping beats. The Zeppelin’s 25 inch width allows for stereo separation, where music is meant to be heard louder from one speaker than another. The Zeppelin’s weight is even larger than other iPod stereos, weighting in at 16 pounds! The “extra” weight it carries around is a result of a more substantial construction sparing no expense for quality; B&W literally made this a solid design.
The Zeppelin has an iPod cradle similar to other iPod stereos, allowing you to dock your iPod, iPod nano, iPod touch or iPhone. When iPods are docked with the Zeppelin they can be charged for continual use. The Zeppelin also comes with a remote control, an auxiliary-input audio jack, and composite- and S-video output jacks for viewing iPod-hosted video and photos on your TV.
The Zeppelin is one of the best new innovations by Bowers and Wilkins and that’s saying a lot! In the past 50 years they have been making some of the highest quality speakers available. If you want to float away on the music of the Zeppelin, visit The Sound Room in Chesterfield or Creve Coeur!
