Music for your ears. And eyes...

Whoever said that the best things in life are free, was having a laugh. The best things in life are not free; and they are not cheap either.

Bowers & Wilkins has been making speakers in England since 1966. Known for their quality of sound and unconventional designs, the company also supplies equipment for Jaguar cars [XKR & XF]. They have made a surprise foray into the iPod generation market [which has been growing faster than any other in the music business currently] with B&W Zeppelin.

Keeping to their tradition of beauty-meets-brawn, the oval shaped speaker [with iPod dock] could be mistaken for a piece of art. This speaker carries more punch than the Bose SounDock [from £299] or Apple's own iPod HiFi [£249] and is priced at £399 – I have seen and heard it play. Believe me - it is worth every penny.
