Bowers & Wilkins Elevates its Iconic Speaker With the Zeppelin Pro Edition

Bowers & Wilkins has taken its iconic Zeppelin speaker to the next level with the introduction of the Zeppelin Pro Edition. Known for its stylish design and premium sound, this latest iteration boasts a range of improvements that make it even more impressive.

While retaining the signature spaceship-like design, the Zeppelin Pro Edition introduces new finishes, including Solar Gold and Space Grey. The Solar Gold variant, in particular, shines when paired with the newly added user-selectable downlight, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.

The Zeppelin series has long been a symbol of luxury in the audio world, standing out for its unique design and top-tier performance. As expected, the Pro Edition builds on this legacy with substantial upgrades in both form and function.

Along with the design improvements, Bowers & Wilkins has also made some changes internally. The Zeppelin Pro Edition has new Titanium Dome tweeters similar to those found in Bowers & Wilkins’ new 600 series speakers. These new tweeters are coupled with 90mm mid-range drivers, like those found in the company’s top-tier floor-standing speakers. The drivers have been upgraded with better cone damping and a revised DSP tuning to create a fuller and more open sound. The final component to the setup is a 150mm subwoofer, which delivers deep yet detailed bass for a well-rounded audio response overall.

Beyond its audio prowess, the Zeppelin Pro Edition is designed with smart technology in mind. It offers Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing it to integrate with other Zeppelin or Bowers & Wilkins Formation speakers. It also supports AirPlay 2 for seamless use within the Apple ecosystem, as well as Bluetooth aptX and Spotify Connect. Through the Bowers & Wilkins Music app, users can access streaming services such as Deezer, Last.fm, Qobuzz, and Tidal.
