| Bottom line | While the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air is as pricey as the earlier Zeppelin, Apple AirPlay support and improved sound quality make it a better value. | While the SoundLink Bluetooth Mobile Speaker II may no longer be in a class by itself, it's still near the top of the portable Bluetooth speaker category. | While it's expensive and isn't loaded with features, the Bose SoundDock 10 is classy looking and sounds excellent for a compact
iPod/iPhone speaker. | 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. |
