We came to the B&W A5 with high hopes: after all we're no strangers to enjoying what B&W does when it comes to AirPlay speakers. After piling high praise on the Zeppelin Air in 2011, the minimalist A7 was on the receiving end of a five-star review in our...
Good Great design, Easy AirPlay set-up, Tons of detail that competitors lack...
Bad Sound is on the small side, Treble can be a little bright...
Bottom line Put the A5 in a real home environment and it will shine. There are few AirPlay docks at this price that can challenge it in design and performance – B&W has another superstar on its hands. See all our dock system Best Buys Follow whathifi.com on Twitt...

B&W is a premium speaker manufacturer and is well known for its Zeppelin dock for iPods and iPhones . The A5 is smaller than you might imagine, but retains a similar design with black cloth and polished metal details. The stainless steel band hides a tin...
Bottom line B&W speakers are never cheap, but the A5 seems a little overpriced. Sound quality is good but not excellent, and it's strictly for Apple devices since there's no Bluetooth. For £70 less, the Minx Air 100 is much more versatile, yet sounds just as good.Tag...

The B&W Zeppelin Air revolutionised the speaker dock offering the holy trinity of elegant styling, solid build and brilliant sound. Following a design classic is never easy, but with the Bowers & Wilkins A5 (and its bigger brother the B&W A7) the brand ha...

Bad Distorts on bassy tracks at top volume, Rather pricey...
Bottom line If £400 seems a little pricey for a system that distorts, even if only on certain tracks and at high volumes – it is. If you can afford an AirPlay system in this range but don't want to deal with distortion, the Klipsch Gallery G-17 Air offers distortion...

I had the good fortune of being lent an A5 for a couple of days. Honestly, I did not want to give it back! That's how impressed I was with the A5.I've been looking for good iPhone and iPad speakers for my room. I wanted something that was easy to use, wir...

When Bowers and Wilkins (B&W) released its Zeppelin iPod/iPhone dock a few years ago, it was something of an anomaly. It was one of the first docks designed to provide an audiophile-quality experience from the lowly iPod, and its funky-looking shape, said...
Good Clean, clear and refined sound quality, Huge, jaw-dropping bass response when boundary-loaded, Enjoyable sound with all kinds of music, Plays loudly with very little distortion, Well-finished, inert cabinet design...
Bad Midrange and treble response a bit uneven, Sound quality somewhat sensitive to placement, Can't handle multiple sources or rooms...
Bottom line At just a whisker under $500, the Bowers and Wilkins A5 may be one of the pricier AirPlay music systems on the market today, but it's also one of the best. Its refined tonal character puts it a few steps above much of the lower-priced competition, and i...

Take B&W's esteemed MM-1 desktop speaker , zap it with a growth ray, and you pretty much have the new A5 .Happily, the sound quality is mostly commensurate with this super-sizing. The A5 may be the smaller of B&W's two new AirPlay speakers (the other bein...
Good Hands down the easiest AirPlay speaker I've set up. A 3.5mm input and an Ethernet jack on the rear panel handle direct wired connections should you decide to forgo AirPlay...
Bad Bass can be overbearing when you crank the volume. Flimsy plastic remote is in direct opposition to premium metal and black cloth design of the speaker...
