Bowers & Wilkins update their iconic Zeppelin speaker, but with new competition, can they still compete in higher-end smart speakers?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

British consumer and professional audio company Bowers & Wilkins first introduced the Zeppelin in 2007. Originally sporting an iPod dock, the speaker has been updated several times to support the change in the way we listen to music, while keeping the familiar iconic design. In 2011 Zeppelin Air added AirPlay, then in 2015 the Zeppelin Wireless dropped the dock while keeping a 3.5mm input. Hoping to offer advanced features, aesthetic beauty and high-fidelity sound in one package, Bowers & Wilkins’ latest update drops all wired input options and adds Alexa for easy music control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What hasn’t changed over the years is the unique, standout design. Zeppelin isn’t supposed to be hidden away in the corner. The speaker comes in Midnight Grey or Pearl Grey, featuring a fabric front, metal pedestal stand and dimmable ambient halo lighting underneath, its large design looks stunning in any setting, as long as you’ve got the space for it with a width of 65cm. Alternatively, the wireless smart speaker can be wall mounted using the optional wall bracket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
