B&W Zeppelin

The B&W Zeppelin is a high-end iPod speaker system. Delivering a total of 100 watts, this oval-shaped set of speakers is constructed with mirror polished stainless steel on the back along with black cloth covering the front side. The included remote control mirrors the Zeppelin’s shape; curvy and minimalist in appearance. Inside B&W’s Zeppelin lies a set of 3.5” stereo glass-fiber speakers, complimented by 1” metal dome tweeters. Also inside is a 5” subwoofer, which provides bass for the user’s music. On the backside of the unit one will find a 3.5” stereo input jack, a USB 2.0 port (for firmware upgrades), as well as composite and S-Video outputs for displaying video and photos from an iPod or iPhone. Those looking for a high-end iPod speaker system and don’t mind paying a premium for the brand name and aesthetics should find the B&W Zeppelin to be an acceptable choice.
