Sony SRS-RA5000 vs Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin 2021

The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin 2021 is a better speaker than the Sony SRS-RA5000. The Bowers & Wilkins offers a more balanced sound profile that can produce a slightly more extended low-bass. It can play stereo content without downmixing it to mono, resulting in a more immersive soundstage. It can get louder with less compression at max volume, so the audio quality remains clean and clear-sounding at louder volume levels. It also offers fantastic voice assistant support with Alexa built-in. While the B&W comes with bass and treble adjustments, the Sony is more customizable with a graphic EQ and presets in its companion app. It supports Sony's '360 Reality Audio' format, which you can find on premium music services like TIDAL. It also has an 'Immersive Audio enhancement' feature that the manufactuer advertises to enhance the speaker's soundstage.
