Bowers & Wilkins have become legendary among Apple gadget owners thanks to delivering us the unique and stylish Zeppelin speaker dock – an award winning iPod speaker dock.
B&W have built further on the success of the Zeppelin over the recent years, delivering a smaller version in the Zeppelin Mini, and the latest addition to the Zeppelin family; the Zeppelin Air which is a full blown Airplay speaker.
Here is an overview of speaker dock systems from Bowers & Wilkins for the UK market.

The B&W Zeppelin Air was amongst the first Airplay speakers in the market, and whilst competition has improved it is in my opinion still amongst the best systems out there, delivering on both sound and design.

B&W Zeppelin
Combining style and world class technology, the B&W Zeppelin is the ultimate in iPod speakers if you can afford to shell out £300 plus for one. It is however so iconic that it won’t be going out on style for a long long time.
