Speaker docking facility outfitted with Apple ’s Lightning dock connector seem like form of waste these sidereal day . Wireless euphony is the hereafter , homie ! But does this new smasher from Bowers & Wilkins wait like a dock ? Where ’s the port ? It ’s hide by clever intention .
The Bowers & Wilkins Z2 is an phylogeny of the almost - amazing Zeppelin Mini iPod loading dock thatdidn’t quite win our battlemodo a couple of years ago . Gone is the clunky 30 - pin saddle horse , and stretchy framework coating that feels like it might rip as you carry it from the support elbow room to the kitchen . The Z2 sports a revamped plastic physique better suited to a semi - portable speaker than the bookshelf utterer purpose of the Zepp - Mini before it . It also tot AirPlay connectivity and a larger set of 3.5 - in driver .

But even if talker docks are on their way out , we ca n’t help but look up to how elegantly B&W hide the lightning connector on the Z2 . You get the wash room without the eyesore .
And while we ’re on it , those volume keys are the first capacitive ghost - buttons we ’ve ever have sex . The grain of the raise plus and minus modeling in the plastic is just right .
We listen to the speaker for a short while , and no surprise , it ’s a B&W product so it sounds great . And it gets loudly . We should have a review unit shortly . We ’ll rent you jazz if it ’s worth the 400 gelt B&W is asking , but the price is militant with other high - quality wireless Speaker out there . [ Bowers & Wilkins ]
