Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini

Well here we are with another review and it is an another high quality product from Bowers &Wilkins.  This time it is the Zeppelin sound dock system designed for Apple products and it comes with multiple stands for various iPods and iPhones. We are using it with the iPhone 4 without any issues.  There is also a USB port in the back so you can connect any USB device to hear your music.  Once you have your iPhone or iPod connected using the dock it will charge it and also sync over wifi if available.

This sound dock does not have Air Play, as they have another unit with that option, which cost $300 more then this one.

The sound quality is fantastic with deep bass sounds, and fills the room.  Fills the room with sound, but it doesn't take up the room that a home stereo and speakers would.  We have ours on a shelf, and we control the music using the small remote control that is included.

Since I am the gadget guy, I have mine connected to my wifi using an Apple Airport Express which lets me use the airplay feature on my iPhone and I can control all my music that is either on my iPhone or on my iMac.  I noticed that I have never reviewed that so I will have to do that in the future.

We have had a few of the iPhone docks for playing music but never really paid too much for them, therefore never really used them very much.  Since purchasing this we have started listening to music more often and when my selection of music isn't what my wife wants to hear she puts on her Bowers & Wilkinson P5 headphones (previously reviewed).

The price of this unit isn't too bad for the quality and sound that you get from it.  We purchased it for $299.99 Canadian.  Head out to your local electronic store and sample the sounds.

Bowers & Wilkins P5 Headphones

Get closer to your music, that is what they say in their packaging and they are right!  It is nice to sit back and listen to your music without disturbing anyone or being disturbed by background noise.   These high quality headphones has noise isolation so not to disturb those around you and also blocks out noise from entering the headphones.

These headphones are designed for an iPhone as they have the mic and volume switch right on the cord so you can take the call just like if you are wearing the iPhone earpods, but the sound is so much better.  You can also fast forward and rewind the tracks.

The headphones come with a carrying bag, not the most masculine looking though.  The price might put you off at $299.99, but when is the last time you had a pair of comfortable, over the ear headphones on?
