Though its name suggests something lighter than air, the first thing I noticed about the Zeppelin iPod dock for B&W was how heavy it is. The device's oblong shape houses two woofers, two tweeters, and a subwoofer behind its soft cloth non-removable grille. The second thing that struck me was how great it sounded. The Speaker set pumped out room-filling and crisp sound with well-defined bass. What most people will see, however, is the Zeppelin's graceful design, from the metallic arm that docks the iPod and puts it on display (Apple iPods, we forget, are design pieces in their own right) to the bizarre body that seems impossibly balanced. I have to admit that even I drooled a little too. Something we're all bound to take note of, though, is the Zeppelin's stratospheric price. Six hundred bucks? Whoa, baby! That's a negative. The speaker system just sits there looking and sounding beautiful, without any of the extra features, (such as FM radio, an alarm, or a great remote) that make Chestnut Hill Sound's George worth its lofty price.
