Form meets function in this curvy smart speaker that thinks outside of the (boring black) box.
, like most smart speakers, is all about minimalist design and ease of use. But unlike most smart speakers, this imposing airship is meant to take center stage in any space. A 14-pound ellipse that seemingly floats atop its curved metal pedestal, Zeppelin packs five drivers and 240 watts of amplification into an elliptical enclosure measuring more than 2-feet wide, its grille sheathed in luxe mesh fabric.
The speaker’s backside is finished in smooth, matte plastic, which is featureless save for embossed icons running along the top that indicate volume and playback controls, an Alexa voice control/mic mute button, and a multifunction/pairing button that displays a range of colors indicating tasks. The buttons are easy to find by touch, which is helpful since Zeppelin doesn’t have a remote, but I found myself tipping the speaker forward to locate the right controls.
The heaviest lift during setup may literally be physically placing the speaker. Due to its irregular shape, the Zeppelin isn’t the greatest choice if you’re looking for theto nestle amongst other personal audio gear and physical media. But, let’s face it: Zeppelin is meant to be shown off. It works well sitting atop a flat surface such as a console, or on a pedestal that can serve as a centerpiece—and conversation piece—in your space.
