bowers and wilkins zeppelin miniThe Bowers and Wilkins Zeppelin Mini is the smaller and cheaper brother of the flying balloon style speaker the Zeppelin. Priced at $400 US, it’s $200 cheaper than the original Zeppelin, and much smaller too.

The Zeppelin Mini is Aesthetically pleasing, the ellipsoid form factor, stretcheable spandex-like black cloth clover and chrome combination makes it look sophisticated. iLounge rated the Zepelin as “B” which means recommended.They compared it with Bose SoundDock, Altec’s iMT800, JBL On Stage 400P and iHome iP1. The  Mini out witted them in terms of dimension, its much easier to fit in small spaces than the others. Although they did not bash the Zeppelin Mini for its lack of substance, they noted that the mini is made to impress with its compact design, elegent remote, rotating dock (perfect for movies), in a sharp minimalist style and that is the main substance of B&W.

Conclusion: As iLounge and Crunchgear pointed out, the Zeppelin Mini is not for the budget challenged. B&W is targeting the high-end exclusive design savvy market with the Mini. At a the price of 400 US dollars you can buy a better sounding iphone/ipod speaker dock but may not look good as this one. If you can afford it, then go ahead but otherwise you can look at the Bose, and JVC alternative.
