Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini

The Zeppelin Mini has a lot to live up to - Riyad investigates this case of sibling rivalry.

Bowers and Wilkins has proved that it can produce superb iPod sound quality in a smaller chassis, while adding a few new features along the way. The Mini isn’t as aesthetically striking as the original Zeppelin though, and it doesn't excel aurally to...

B&W Zeppelin Mini review

Will the diminutive Zeppelin Mini rise as high as its big brother? Or will it go down in flames?

A compact speaker dock with a big future thanks to its top-notch sound quality

Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini

Compact yet with a solid (small) room-filling sound, the Mini delivers excellent audio reproduction from your iPod or iPhone.

As you can see from the pictures, the Mini's iPod connector is raised above the upper edge of the speaker unit. B&W supplies a range of clip-on sleeves to fit a number of iPod and iPhone models that help you connect your player smoothly. They're not...

Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini

The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini is one of the best looking iPod and iPhone docks ever created. Following on from the gargantuan Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin, this smaller sequel is slimmer, and less space-hungry than its predecessor, but can it retain...

Fantastic design and pin-sharp sonic performance

Hefty price tag and abnormally firm docking

The Zeppelin Mini turns Apple's music boxes and mobile phones into desktop virtuosos capable of turning even the most discerning ear

Bowers & Wilkins isn't a name that's generally associated with "mere mortals." Sure, you'll find B&W gear within palatial mansions and the

Stellar design ; Great audio quality ; Did we mention that it's gorgeous

Pricey ; Doesn't live up to Klipsch alternatives ; Lame remote

Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini review: Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini

Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini

Decent sound from a compact, single-speaker; elegant design; simple to operate; dock swivels so you can watch videos on your iPod or iPhone; GSM shielded for iPhones; USB connection for synching your iPod or iPhone with iTunes on your PC and upgrading...

Fairly expensive; no radio or other additional features; doesn't work with several early iPod models; bass is thin.

While the B&W Zeppelin Mini's sound didn't blow us away, this stylish, compact iPod/iPhone speaker is appealing for its size, swiveling dock, and decent performance.
