Short answer: the B&O Beosound 2 is a luxury connected home speaker with a broader feature set, while the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Pro is the more conventional high-value indoor all-in-one. Neither is intended for wet or portable use, so this is a question of design and streaming ecosystem.
The Beosound 2 offers omnidirectional playback, Chromecast, AirPlay, Bluetooth codecs, optical and aux inputs, voice control, multiroom support, and app EQ. Its bass-forward voicing can recess mids and its maximum volume is modest. The Zeppelin Pro adds titanium tweeters, a 24-bit DAC and dynamic EQ, but its upgrades over the regular Zeppelin are subtle.
Buy the B&O Beosound 2 for premium design, omnidirectional room filling, and the more complete connected feature set.
Buy the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Pro for a simpler indoor speaker with deep bass and a wide presentation.
