When it comes to wireless speakers, there are only a handful I would call truly iconic, and the storied Bowers and Wilkins Zeppelin is one. If you're a fan of the brand, you will be happy to hear that the company has updated its speaker to what is now called the Zeppelin Pro.
The Pro features the same stereo design as before, upgraded with titanium dome tweeters at each end, and these are paired with 90mm FST midrange drivers. The middle of the unit features a 150mm "subwoofer" which is mounted in such a way as to reduce both vibration and physical movement of the cabinet.
The cabinet is 8.3 inches high, 25.6 inches wide and 7.6 inches deep. The speaker comes in two new finishes – Solar Gold and Space Grey – together with a revised, dimmable downlight with a choice over 15 separate colors.
The speaker offers plenty of connection options, including both Bluetooth and wi-fi, with support for the company's own Formation system, plus AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect.
The Zeppelin helped create the high-end wireless speaker category and B&W now has a lot more competition than when it debuted, though the speakers' distinctive looks and "all in one" sound should help it stand above the pack.
The Bowers and Wilkins Zeppelin Pro ($799) is available from today.
