Audio product of the year
B&W Zeppelin
It’s testament to the state of music consumption in 2008 that an iPod dock was the audio product to impress us most. But what a dock. Many have tried, most have failed to create the ideal aesthetic complement to the iPod. B&W took it in its stride with this aeronautically themed, chrome-backed eye candy. Sonically, the Zeppelin also beats every other single-box system we’ve heard, with a weighty, expansive and articulate performance – but then, we’d expect nothing less from a company of B&W’s pedigree. It ain’t cheap, but it’s worth every penny.
Highly commended
