A compelling form and advanced functions come together in Bowers & Wilkins’ Zeppelin, a high-resolution single unit that looks minimalist but is packed with innovations. Featuring internal components sourced from models that cost in the hundreds to multi-thousands, this buoyant, Bluetooth and network-connected speaker is “pleasing and natural,” “muscular yet controlled,” according to our reviewer, making it not just one of our best smart speakers, but one of our favorite wireless-audio speakers period. And, during the current sale, you can get it for $699 (regularly $799), letting you use Wi-Fi to take advantage of Spotify Connect or to stream audio at up to 24-bit/192 kHz resolution with AirPlay 2 and the B&W Music app. Plus you can request songs, control other devices, add things to your shopping list through voice commands, and more with Alexa. Zeppelin makes a statement visually and an impression sonically.
