The good: Sound, looks
The bad: Takes up plenty of space
Verdict: The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin is a thing of beauty both in looks and sound

Comments

Got one.

Excellent sound but it does show up the failing of compression. Anything below 192kbs sounds crap unless it's spoken word, 320kbs (via Lame) music sounds excellent and FLAC via line-in is as perfect as my ears can tell.

Not tried any other formats except MP3 and FLAC. Posted by midger, UK / AZ
every mp3 under 192kbps sounds crap regardless of which speaker or headphone you listen to.
you are better off with ogg vorbis which sounds already good at 128kbps Posted by oluv, austria
