Bowers and Wilkins announce Zeppelin Wireless speaker

When it comes to speakers that look absolutely stunning, Bowers & Wilkins sits right among the top. The Zeppelin is among their best and has timeless design. This week, B&W has announced new Zeppelin Wireless, a new speaker in Zeppelin lineup that features total wireless streaming (Bluetooth aptX, AirPlay, Spotify Connect etc). There is no iPhone or iPod dock for this speaker which means that you have to connect the audio device to the speaker over wireless connection or you have to use the good old 3.5mm cable. Bummer though is that the new model costs $700 and is available for sale online from this week.
