What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it sounds big, rich and detailed, with strong bass, and praise its build and distinctive design. The common criticisms are no wired inputs and no voice control; What Hi-Fi? and TechRadar found it less dynamic and exciting than it is clear, and T3 found the gain over the standard Zeppelin marginal.
