Bowers & Wilkins Formation Wedge: Beautiful And Pricey
Much has changed since Bowers & Wilkins released the iconic Zeppelin Wireless speaker in 2015—most notably, the company has come under new ownership.

Whether it’s worth the sky-high price, however, depends on how much you’re willing to pay for innovative design.
