Chef's kiss

  • Beautiful design
  • Unparalleled sound
  • AirPlay 2 supported
  • No native Apple Music integration

The design and build quality are top notch.
Very beautiful and iconic design. Definitely comes into its own in small to medium spaces. Construction quality is what we can expect from B&W.
Sound.
The sound is just about perfect for what you expect from a similar solution. If you have a decent source, such as a lossless format, all you have to do is close your eyes and imagine yourself next to the musician. One disadvantage, it is impossible to sit still.
Two real negatives
The WiFi can only be connected to a 2.4 GHz network. Finally, Apple Music does not have native integration with the app, so you have to rely on AirPlay. This means that you cannot play the High-Res Lossless. Not that most users would miss it.

Great sound!

  • Very good sound
  • a lot of power
  • Exceptional design
  • Bowers and Wilkins apps does have some bugs

This is already the 4th generation Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin they have kept the iconic design but have been without an iPod Dock for a while now. The build quality is top, the speaker feels very solid, which is important to prevent resonance of the housing.

The speaker supports bluetooth with AptX and Wifi streaming via Airplay 2, Amazon Alexa, the B&W app and spotify Connect.. But with this speaker I would not recommend bluetooth streaming, not because it is not good, but because you can get so much more out of this speaker via WiFi. can get.

The fact that you can clearly hear a difference between lossy and lossless files shows that this speaker displays a fair amount of detail.
So about the sound. It sounds really good, especially for a speaker of this size. The Zeppelin has 5 speakers, 1 woofer, 2 midrange drivers and 2 tweeters. This provides clear tone separation and very little distortion. What I think is the best is the low frequencies they achieve with a closed housing, no bass sport, no passive radiators. Just a closed cabinet with a lot of power, which ensures relatively accurate bass reproduction. And with songs like Unfinished Symphony by Massive attack, he gets low frequencies that you really don't expect from a speaker of this size. The speaker is very present, which means that I like to sit down to listen to good music, but it lends itself a little less well for background music. The speaker has a decent stereo image when you sit close to it. However, at a distance of 3-4 meters this decreases a lot, but that is to be expected since the tweeters are about half a meter apart.

All in all, this is a great speaker that I like to sit in front of to really listen to Hi-Res music, the speaker has good tone separation. It does have a fairly bright sound, but this makes details come out better. I am also amazed by the bass of this speaker. It's definitely not a boombox, but every now and then it hits such low frequencies that you wonder if there isn't still a subwoofer somewhere.

Amazon Alexa is nice but unfortunately only in English, Google Assistant is currently more helpful in the Netherlands. I must say that the microphones are top notch and you barely have to raise your voice to activate Alexa.

Beautiful but poorly programmed and unreliable

  • Sound is great
  • Design is great
  • Streaming with Bluetooth, i.e. without using WiFi, is still fairly reliable. But that's the only thing.
  • ...if you get it working

Due to the poor software from B&W and their app, the use of the device is extremely annoying due to the many connection failures/losses.
