The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin has long been a recognizable figure in the world of wireless speakers. Its iconic shape and well-regarded sound performance have made it a standout piece of audio equipment. Now, with the introduction of the Zeppelin Pro Edition, Bowers & Wilkins has refined and elevated this classic, focusing on both its form and functionality.
This blog explores the key updates to the Zeppelin Pro and how it positions itself in the landscape of premium wireless speakers.
One of the defining features of the Zeppelin is its distinct, oval-shaped design. In the Zeppelin Pro Edition, Bowers & Wilkins stays true to this iconic silhouette while introducing subtle aesthetic enhancements. The new Pro Edition is available in two finishes: Solar Gold and Space Grey, offering stylish options to complement modern interiors.
The visual updates are understated yet sophisticated, ensuring the Zeppelin Pro remains a design icon while appealing to contemporary tastes.
The upgrades to the Zeppelin Pro are more than skin deep. Internally, significant enhancements have been made to its drivers and overall sound engineering.
Borrowing technology from B&W’s acclaimed 600 Series loudspeakers, the Zeppelin Pro features titanium-dome tweeters. These are strategically placed at the far edges of the speaker's enclosure. The goal is to minimize vibrations and ensure a cleaner, more refined sound. This design tweak enhances high-frequency clarity, delivering a sharper and more accurate listening experience.
The midrange drivers utilize Fixed Suspension Transducer (FST) technology, another feature drawn from Bowers & Wilkins’ higher-end floorstanding speakers. These 9cm drivers are designed with increased cone damping, which helps to counteract distortion and cone breakup. This improvement allows the speaker to produce a more open and detailed midrange, giving vocals and instruments a natural, lifelike quality.
Bowers & Wilkins didn’t neglect the bass. The Zeppelin Pro houses a 15cm subwoofer, optimized to produce deep and precise low frequencies. The subwoofer’s design has been fine-tuned to reduce cabinet vibrations, resulting in cleaner bass performance without muddiness. Whether you’re listening to bass-heavy electronic tracks or orchestral recordings, the Zeppelin Pro aims to deliver a balanced and controlled low-end response.
The Zeppelin Pro caters to the demands of modern listeners with its robust streaming support and multi-room functionality. Built-in compatibility with AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and Bluetooth aptX Adaptive ensures seamless connectivity across a variety of devices. Additionally, Bowers & Wilkins has added support for hi-res streaming platforms like Deezer, Qobuz, and Tidal, addressing previous limitations of the original Zeppelin.
Using the Bowers & Wilkins Music app, users can manage their streaming services and create a seamless listening experience. The speaker also integrates into the brand’s Formation range of wireless speakers, enabling multi-room setups. Whether you're using multiple Zeppelin Pro speakers or combining it with other Bowers & Wilkins products, the system offers flexibility and convenience for whole-home audio.
The Zeppelin Pro Edition is available now at a price of £699 in the UK or $799 in the US. The two available finishes, Space Grey and Solar Gold, ensure there’s an option to suit different personal styles and home décor.
The Zeppelin Pro Edition is a thoughtful update to a modern classic. Bowers & Wilkins has carefully refined the design while incorporating advanced technologies from its premium loudspeaker lines. The result is a wireless speaker that balances timeless aesthetics with cutting-edge performance. Whether you’re an existing fan of the Zeppelin or new to Bowers & Wilkins, the Zeppelin Pro Edition is a compelling option for those seeking premium sound in a stylish package.
