Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini Docking Speaker for iPod Reviews
| 25 of 26 people found the following review helpful  6 Months of ownership, and its still impressing me daily. iPod Touch review, Works with iPad!, By This review is from: Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini Docking Speaker for iPod (Electronics) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?) When I received this product in November I was instantly taken back with the quality. It would appear that it is just another AtHome type of appliance for your iPod or iPhone. The only thing that this unit has in common with those articles is the fact that it uses an iPod,iPhone. After that it all goes out the window. As I go into this review I will cover the aspects that work and some odd ones that dont.Quality ***** This is B&W for goodness sake so it better be 5 stars and it is. I have owned kevlar B&W speakers for years and have pushed them far above what they should have and they keep performing. Taking this unit out of the box I was impressed with the overall quality of the craftsmanship. It has a heft to it and feels rock solid; a typical B&W attribute. The stalk feels solid and not flimsy. The chrome appears thick and the fabric used is top notch. Installing iPod Touch. ***** I used an iPod Touch 32GB 2nd Gen for this review. When I...

(Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini Docking Speaker for iPod (Electronics) I've been looking forward to this product since its introduction more than a month ago. I loved the original Zeppelin, but was excited about the smaller form factor and a USB digital connection in the Zeppelin Mini. Call me naive, I was actually hoping that the sound quality would be quite comparable to that of the original Zeppelin. As the B&W's website says:"With Zeppelin Mini, you get everything you love about Zeppelin - advanced acoustic technology, intelligent design, elegant connectivity - in a streamlined, compact sound dock package that's perfect for desktops and bedside tables. " But I was let down; the two speakers produce completely different sound. Pop music (I tried out Rhianna and Britney Spears) sounded okay due to the typically louder treble and bass in the recording, although when played louder it sounded clearly distorted and hollow; classical symphonies (I tried out Brahms' Symphony #4 and Shostakovich's Cello Concerto #1) sounded...

The room - as any true audio nut knows, the room is a huge part of the overall sound above very low level listening, a crappy room can sound bad with a $10,000 stereo, none the less a few hundred dollar gem like this. This works great in smaller rooms, say under 2,000 cu ft (or about 250 sq ft), ideally placed in a corner to enhance the bass or near the center of a wall to promote better stereo imaging. If the room is part of a open floor plan, expect less bass, that's just the way acoustics work. 2. Crap in = Crap out - This is an iPod dock, not a reference SACD player, proper vinyl setup, or the like. What you are feeding into is is typically very squashed, thin music, and it'll sound like that no matter where it's from. Re-rip your collection as Apple... Read more |
