B&W Zeppelin Mini
$399.00
Released September, 2009
The Pros:Compact compared to the original. Two 3" drivers and a 5" woofer. USB port on the back allows the device to be used as a speaker system for a computer system.
The Cons:Premium price. Smaller sized drivers could never match a full sized stereo system. Disappointing bass - the bass port is all for show.

The Mini also plays earlier iPod models, but does not recharge them. Its signature component is its digital signal processing (DSP) technology, which handles digital input from one’s iPod or iPhone directly—therefore resulting in higher quality and more pure sound, especially versus conventional analogue stations. Plus, the unit also hosts a USB connection for pulling audio directly from a PC, as well as syncing one’s iPod or iPhone with iTunes to add more playlists, access applications, or configure calendars. It doesn’t end there though, as the Zeppelin Mini also sports a rear auxiliary port for even hooking up an external CD/DVD or MP3 player. Suffice it to say, the Mini can handle practically any device that plays music or sound.
