I guess if you were listening to some heavy dub or dance it might come up a little short, but then so do most systems. The bass is tight but not overpowering and ideal for my pop and rock tastes. Its 2 x 18W of power fills the room with ease and it separates individual sounds so well for something so small. For the size of the thing I'd happily give it 9/10. I know you can fiddle about with EQ settings on the iPod, but it's not quite the same.īut I didn't worry about that for long, because the sound was terrific. In some ways, it's too simple, with no control over bass or treble. It's also simple to use with practically no set-up required - plug it in, stick your iPod in the dock and away you go. The Mini passed the girlfriend style test with flying colours: it looks gorgeous without being ridiculous and is compact enough to not look out of place in any room. I've also got a little 8W iPod dock, which cost about £80, in the kitchen. So when I was asked if I wanted to cast an eye over its compact brother, the B&W Zeppelin Mini, I was only too happy.Īt home I've got an old Bang & Olufsen system in the living room, and although I managed to smash the cool sliding glass panel on the CD player it still sounds fantastic. It's unquestionably beautiful, but do I really want a huge iPod dock dominating my living room? I'm glad I didn't though, because I couldn't help thinking it looked a little ridiculous. I thought the sound it produced was seriously impressive for the money (about £400) and I was sorely tempted to buy one. I remember seeing it at a party and loving it. The original B&W Zeppelin iPod speaker is a design classic. 'The B&W Zeppelin Mini looks gorgeous without being ridiculous and is compact enough to not look out of place in any room,' said Roy Stride
