The good: Decent sound from a compact, single-speaker; elegant design; simple to operate; dock swivels so you can watch videos on your iPod or iPhone; GSM shielded for iPhones; USB connection for synching your iPod or iPhone with iTunes on your PC and upgrading firmware.
The bad: Fairly expensive; no radio or other additional features; doesn't work with several early iPod models; bass is thin.
The bottom line: While the B&W Zeppelin Mini's sound didn't blow us away, this stylish, compact iPod/iPhone speaker is appealing for its size, swiveling dock, and decent performance.

Great Looks, Great Sound, Great Product!
by robbiebastian on November 2, 2011
Pros: Nicely balanced sound.
Very compact design.
Great sound dock for bedrooms or kitchens.
Cons: Remote is too simplified.
Power converter is almost as big as the actual piece.
Summary: I actually like the mini better than the larger Zeppelin. I think the frequency response is more even with the mini. It sounds better than any other sound docks I'...

Summary: I actually like the mini better than the larger Zeppelin. I think the frequency response is more even with the mini. It sounds better than any other sound docks I've heard. I love mine. It works great for my bedroom.

Impressive little gadget!
by drog2002 on December 29, 2010
Pros: Design is beautiful - sound is excellent for the 20X20 room where I have it. Bought it for a Christmas present, and decided to keep it! (don't tell anybody)
Easy set up, idiot proof!!
Cons: Remote is cool, but very small. Men with bigger hands have a little trouble hitting the right button, but they can be trained to do it after a few tries. :)

Excellent Sound for it's size, beautiful desing
by michelinep on December 6, 2009
Pros: It doesn't reach so high volume as the original Zeppelin, but enough to fill small to midsize rooms, with a detailed and warm sound, the bass is small because of it's size, but it's tight, the RC working distance was improved, the rtating arm is cool
Cons: MMM, Just a little more bass would have been great, and the if the price would have been of $350 i would give it 5 stars....

Good speaker, need more bass
by c121ck on November 21, 2009
Pros: Handsome design, nice for classical and soft music
Cons: Need more bass. Remote is cool looking but easily slip out of your hand. Set timer on your iPhone / iPod but the speaker does not switch off by itself (unlike Bose Sounddock that it has no power on/off switch)
Summary: I have traded my Bose Sounddock I for the Zeppeline mini as I primarily listen to classical and pop songs,
but overall, Bose Sounddock has a better balance. If money ...

Summary: I have traded my Bose Sounddock I for the Zeppeline mini as I primarily listen to classical and pop songs,
but overall, Bose Sounddock has a better balance. If money no object, I'd go for the Bose 10. Bottom line:
Still happy with it, but its sound won't blow you away
