With all the key features previously found in Zeppelin Wireless including AirPlay 2, aptX Adaptive, and Spotify Connect, along with new upgraded features, the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin (130W) has been reimagined for the streaming age. It features 2x 1" Double Dome Tweeters, 2x 3.5” Midranges with Fixed Suspension Transducers (FST), and 1x 6" Subwoofer along with 5 channels of power amplification, and delivers sonic, room-filling audio performance. It provides direct access to your favorite music from a wide range of streaming services, podcasts, and radio stations via the Bowers & Wilkins Music App that brings together a wide range of music services under one platform. It’s based on a scalable platform that can be developed and upgraded with new features, such as multiroom capability (to be added in March 2022). Introducing for the first time ever, the multiroom functionality will allow you to create an ecosystem with other Bowers & Wilkins digitally-enabled products. Also features built-in Amazon Alexa voice control that allows you to play your favorite song, radio channel, or playlist with just a voice command. The new Zeppelin retains the unique, beautiful Zeppelin design along with solid acoustic principles for unmatchable sound no matter where you place it.

Q: How do you pair the speaker with an iPad or iPhone. Do I need to Push a button somewhere , it shows up On Bluetooth but does not pair

A: Hello. It is possible to use your Zeppelin over Bluetooth without the need to connect the product to a network. With your Zeppelin in setup mode – indicated by the Multifunction button pulsing slowly amber – press and hold the Multifunction button for 5 seconds. The Zeppelin will play an audio prompt and the Multifunction button will be flashing blue. This indicates that the Zeppelin is in Bluetooth pairing mode and can be connected to via your source device’s Bluetooth menu. The Zeppelin will be available in the Bluetooth menu under the name ‘Zeppelin’ The Bowers & Wilkins Music App is required to connect your Zeppelin to your home network and also to establish connection with other Formation products in your home. The Bowers & Wilkins Music App also provides some control and configuration functions during use. Before you begin your Zeppelin installation, you will need to download and install the Bowers & Wilkins Music App on your iOS or Android device. The Bowers & Wilkins Music App requires iOS 11.4 or later, or Android V8.1 or later. Bluetooth and WiFi services must be enabled on your iOS or Android device. You will also need to know your WiFi network password.

Q: Type of battery?? Lithium battery??

A: Hello. The Zeppelin is wireless with how it receives an audio signal, but it plugs into a wall outlet for it's power. It is not a rechargeable device.

Q: Can 2 Zeppelins be paired together?

A: Zeppelin is a stereo speaker in one cabinet. For this reason, it cannot be paired with another Zeppelin to create a stereo pair. However, Zeppelin does contain Formation Wireless technology that allows multiple Zeppelin to be connected to each other across a home, playing the same piece of music. This might include 2 Zeppelin in a living room, or multiple Zeppelin in different rooms. This feature will be activated this year.

Q: Can I pair with a bluetooth or wi-fi turnatable?

A: undefined

Q: Can the Zeppelin be paired with an echo dot since it has alexa built in? I have my echo dot connect with an AUX cable to an old Bower and Wilkins speaker and would like this to act as a second echo device and pair them as you can pair two echo dots.

A: The Zeppelin does not have an AUX IN connection. Only Bluetooth.

Q: Can the Zeppelin be paired with a CD player or turntable?

A: Zeppelin has no external inputs. Purely a wireless speaker.

Q: Can this Zeppelin be paired with earlier model or a current same model Zeppelin? This was asked before and gave conflicting answers. I want to place them in different rooms and have them play at the same time.

A: Yes, you can pair with an earlier model or the same model, but they must be in separate rooms to work.

Q: Does this work with Heos.

A: Zeppelin does not work with Heos.

Great Speaker.
#### Sound Quality The overall sound quality is nothing short of remarkable. The speaker delivers a balanced audio profile that suits a variety of genres, from classical to rock. Whether I was listening to intricate symphonies or bass-heavy tracks, each note was rendered beautifully. #### Clarity One of the most impressive aspects of this speaker is its clarity. Vocals are crisp and articulate, allowing every lyric to shine through without muddiness. I could easily distinguish between different instruments, even in complex compositions, which truly enhances the listening experience. #### Bass The bass response is powerful yet controlled. It adds depth without overwhelming the mids and highs, making it perfect for both casual listening and more intense sessions. Whether I was enjoying a thumping dance track or a deep jazz piece, the bass was rich and satisfying. #### Design and Build Quality The design is sleek and modern, making it a stylish addition to any room. The build quality feels robust, ensuring durability without compromising aesthetics. The controls are intuitive, making it easy to adjust settings on the fly.

Good speaker for bluetooth.
Dont use airplay because it has a lot of connectivity issues. If you have apple music and you are using airplay and the song wont stop than go to the B&W app and pause it through the app. The speaker sounds really well balanced and well rounded. If your looking for high resolution audio than be aware that air play is buggy. If your looking for a good bluetooth speaker that has really good vocals this speaker is amazing in bluetooth mode still. For loseless audio on apple music I woild recomend going with a different speaker because of the air play bugs. Another mention is the spread angle pf the music isn’t as wide as the formation edge and you cant tilt the speaker pointing up or down some because its just a fixed base.

This is what award-winning sound, sounds like.
Bowers & Wilkins new wireless Zeppelin speaker is one of the cleanest hearing sounds I have ever heard in my life from a speaker. This device has a richness to the dimensions of sound it covers around the room. I am blown away and shocked they can hit a level of quality from a wireless device. The Zeppelin is elegant and you can just feel that this device was constructed in a way to give you optimal sound. Zeppelin is somewhat heavy meaning you will not be moving this unit from room to room. Taking out the box and placing it where you want is best as this speaker needs to be plugged up and have A/C power to the unit. There isn't much in the box but just enough to get you going as fast as possible. Thankfully B&W gives a quick start guide that gets you going without wasting your time. Design is also modern yet strange; like a big football shape speaker facing you. Nothing wrong with that as it doesn't really take up that much space on my entertainment center. It isn't cumbersome or feels out of place in my home. On the top of the speaker, the buttons include; Vol up, Play/Pause, Multifunction, Alexa / Smart speaker button, and Vol down. There is a light bar indicator to let you know if the speaker is on. The speaker can connect to Spotify Connect, AptX, Bluetooth, Airplay 2, and B&W's own Connect app. This gives you multiple ways to connect your music wirelessly with tons of compatibility. Setup was easy with three simple instructions and you must download the app to set the speaker up. This includes an update to the speaker which I highly recommend doing before you enjoy the speaker. The sound of the Zeppelin was simply the best. It was clean, clear, and powerful. Everything was fleshed out and you can hear every single detail in sound. The football shape speaker just gives you a sound I would call award-winning. The bass is strong but not overpowering. It was an instant smile across my face This was just using Airplay 2 alone how moving the sound was on this speaker. I couldn't believe this much sound was coming out of a speaker of this size. Whatever drivers Bowers & Wilkins are using it's something that you will be extremely satisfied with. The five speakers inside are beyond exceptional and 24-bit/96kHz high-resolution sound is heavenly to listen to. The sound to my ears was magnificent! I was only able to test Tidal/MQA as that's the only platform I use this kinda music on but it delivered. Every tone and note was giving me a surround in my environment. with 24 bit music; there is also Deezer, Qobuz, TuneIn, and more to use to try. The integration with the app/speaker is great. This is a true wireless speaker meaning there are really no ports for you to use an aux cord and if you are looking for that this is not the speaker for you. This is one for those who truly want a wireless speaker to connect to most of the wireless devices quickly. One feature I love inside of the Zeppelin is the ability to connect multiple speakers together with the B&W app or with Airplay 2. Combining this speaker with four other speakers was fun as they sync with each other flawlessly. Alexa worked as intended with no issues with the device hearing my voice. Music. Music is what this device does and does it well beyond my expectations. The sound feels award-winning how clear and clean the music comes out at you. I'm truly blown away by the sound of this B&W Zeppelin model. I will say if you decide to pick one of these up there won't be disappointed at all. and oh boy once you connect this to multiple wireless speaker setups your home will be booming with sound. Clearly, it's one of the best speakers to date I've used. Definitely the most powerful I own.
