What is it: Seriously sleek, high-end iPod stereo speaker
What we think: B&W has made an iPod speaker that looks amazing and is far better built than most competing models

We like:
Three-way stereo system with two tweeters, two midrange drivers and one woofer; 100W of power; mirror-polished stainless steel cabinet with black cloth grille; matching remote control; video output for hookup to a TV
We don't like:
Very expensive; sounds better on acoustic music than bass-heavy genres such as rock and hip-hop; rubberised mounting stand seems better-suited to a cheaper product; light on features
CNET UK judgement:
The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin effectively combines substantial build quality and detailed sound -- but you're still paying a hefty premium for the iPod speaker's stunning good looks
