The look of the Zeppelin Pro is, of course,thelook.
And in practice, the Zeppelin Pro Edition makes good on that paper promise.
American customers will have to part with $799, while in Australia its more like AU$1,349.
Youre not short of choice where wireless speakers at this sort of money are concerned, of course.
In fact, the only major difference where features are concerned is regarding 40 percent of the driver array.
This, its fair to say, is an upgrade on the double-dome tweeters fitted to 2021s Zeppelin.
Revised digital sound processing is deployed to take account of the new and improved tweeter line-up.
And as with previous Zeppelins, the Pro is only part-smart.
Its this openness thats the most immediately striking thing about the way the Bowers & Wilkins performs.
Integration of the frequency range is smooth and unobtrusive, despite the numerousness of the drivers here.
My review sample is in solar gold, and space gray is also available.
Or you could turn it off altogether, of course.
The control app is fairly thoroughly specified.
Spotify Connect and AirPlay 2 provide alternative ways of getting music over to it.
Internet radio is available via Last.fm and TuneIn.
There are a few physical controls at top of the rear of the speaker, too.
Bluetooth pairing, volume up/down, play/pause and power on/off are all available.
The way it sounds simply confirms things.
Should you buy the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Pro Edition?

Features
Multi-room, aptX adaptive and more.
But it’s only ‘part-smart’, lacking some connectivity options.
4.5 / 5
Sound quality
A wide and organized sound that also packs a punch.
Would be perfect with a bit more dynamic intensity.
Design
A choice of nice finishes and funky light colors.
The Zeppelin look is big and distinctive, and it’s impeccably made.
The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin is one.
Far more compact, still a hugely impressive performer with tons of connectivity options.
Here’s our fullNaim Mu-so Qb 2nd Genreview.
The screen on the front is nice too, and the built-in phono stage makes it well-suited to turntables.
