About Bowers & Wilkins:

Bowers & Wilkins, commonly known as B&W, is a British company that produces consumer and professional loudspeakers and headphones.

B&W was founded in 1966 by John Bowers in Worthing, West Sussex, England. In October 2020, B&W was acquired by Sound United, a holding company who owns several other audio brands.

About this item:

WHERE FORM MEETS FUNCTION – Zeppelin features five, well-spaced and carefully positioned premium drive units to bring your music to life with spacious room-filling stereo sound:

2x 1” Double Dome Tweeters, 2x 3.5” FST Midrange drivers and 1x 6” subwoofer.

Zeppelin offers plenty of power for its dedicated drive units with 240 Watts of total output.

The LATEST VOICE CONTROL INTEGRATION – With Amazon Alexa Built-in you can play your favorite song, radio channel or playlist with just a voice command.

You can also control Zeppelin from your device or via the hard buttons on the back.

AN UPGRADABLE PLATFORM – Zeppelin is built on an upgradable platform, so as new services appear, you’re covered.

In 2022, Zeppelin will adopt multi-room capability allowing you to share music from room to room with other Zeppelins or with products from Bowers & Wilkins Formation range.

BEAUTIFUL DESIGN – Zeppelin’s design is instantly recognizable and can sit proudly on a shelf or mounted to a wall using the optional wall bracket (sold separately).

Zeppelin also includes dimmable ambient lighting, which can be turned off, positioned below the product creating a halo effect on to its metal pedestal stand.

Bowers & Wilkins released a new and improved version of its iconic Zeppelin speaker.

The last iteration of the speaker, the Zeppelin Wireless, was released in 2015 and this new version keeps mostly the same look and feel, with the difference being that the new version is completely wireless —

there are no analog connections — and it supports AirPlay 2 and comes integrated with Alexa (just like an Echo) for voice controls.

It supports both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (AptX) streaming, and it’s able to be integrated in a multi-room system with other new Zeppelin speakers, B&W’s existing line of Formation speakers, as well as other Air Play 2 speakers.
