First off, let me just say—this thing is a BEAST. I’ve been a B&W fan for years (yes, I own the Zeppelin too), but the Formation Audio takes it to another level.

The sound? Crisp, detailed, and ridiculously immersive. The 24-bit/96kHz streaming is no joke—it’s like hearing your favorite tracks for the first time again. And the bass? Surprisingly deep for something this sleek.

Setup was a bit fiddly though. No power cord included (seriously, B&W?), and the app instructions were MIA. Took some trial and error, but once it’s running? Pure magic.

Multi-room sync works flawlessly. I paired it with another Formation speaker, and now my entire apartment feels like a high-end listening lounge. Alexa control is cool, but heads-up: you’ll need an Echo device since it’s not built-in.

Downsides? The price hurts ($500?!), and that $100 wall mount feels like a scam. But if you care about audio quality more than your wallet, this is worth every penny.

Final verdict: 9/10. Nearly perfect if not for the setup headaches and premium pricing.
