B&W Zeppelin heavy bass transporter

Want the upmost quality from your iPod speakers while also having something usual to look at to boot? Step forward the B&W Zepplin.

Designed by hi-fi buffs Bowers & Wilkins, this is its first dedicated iPod accessory and it promises sound quality previously only possible using separates. The music on your iPod was probably mastered in the studio on speakers made by B&W, but luckily the Zeppelin costs only a fraction of the price of its professional setups. It’s not just a sound system, it’s a talking point too making it the perfect audio accompaniment to any dinner party.

Bass friendly boombox – with two 25W tweeters and a colossal 50W bass bin, the Zeppelin won’t have any problem filling your room with luscious audio.

The I-s have it – designed specifically with Apple’s range or portable players in mind, whether you’ve got a tiny nano or a swanky pants iPhone it’ll feel right at home in the Zeppelin’s luxurious dock.

Ergonomic arm – unlike many docks which wrap guardedly all around your iPod, the freestanding arms allows you to reach around the back when choosing tracks for more natural interaction.

Best price £399 on June 18
