Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere iPod Speakers

Ok, I know this seems weird, but I'm doing two Logitech reviews in a row (and no, I'm not getting paid or anything for this.) Here's the lowdown: The Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere Speakers, I think, are some of the best. They look good, they sound great, and it comes with a remote so you can lay in your bed without having to move (trust me, I do this a lot!) It has full iPod intergration which means you can do anything from that little remote, such as go to your menu to change songs, crank up the volume, and even play bricks! In addition, it comes with a "Beastly Bass Boost" to really get the party started, and a sound equalizer which makes the sound seem fuller. Just like the Logitech FreePulse I own this audio accessory too. I would highly reccomend this shiny-black monster to anyone who enjoys blasting their music from their iPod anywhere they go. Its portability and battery life are a big plus. More things I discovered was that you could charge your iPod in the speaker. Sweet! So, all this in one little bundle for around $100 on Amazon, seems like a bargin to me! Here's some features:

The Pure-Fi Anywhere™ speaker system uses a unique combination of speaker drivers to deliver clear sound with maximum bass and minimal distortion. Its compact size and long battery life make it the ideal companion to your iPod.

Performance

Advanced acoustics: Experience exceptionally clear sound with maximum bass. A set of 2-inch Max-X active, high-excursion drivers delivers full, balanced audio, while 3-inch pressure drivers maximize the bass response.
StereoXL technology: Widens the stereo image dramatically, creating an immersive audio experience.

Convenience

10-hour rechargeable battery: Enjoy your music longer with a 10-hour rechargeable battery and a battery-level indicator, which eliminates surprises.
Travel case: Protects and stores speakers, remote, and streamlined AC adapter. You can even slip in an iPod nano.
Charges your iPod: Doubles as an iPod charger.

Control

Wireless remote: Control your iPod and browse your content from anywhere in the room.
One-touch controls: Enjoy instant access to shuffle and repeat functions.

Definitely Worth The Cost, May 5, 2008

catalyst (MN)

Considering the price I got these for ($35 after $30MIR), these are great. I would not pay full retail price but if you can get them for $50 or less, I wouldn't hesitate. I have this paired with a 3G 8GB Nano and everything has worked well thus far, although I haven't tried playing from a playlist. The sound is more than adequate for traveling speakers. Don't expect them to sound like a THX Certified HT system. I am picky about sound quality and honestly, the sound quality of iPods are poor compared to a Zune, even though the iPod has an equalizer while the Zune doesn't. I wish this system was made for a Zune because I also have a Zune. It's nice that there's also an aux input on the back of the system, which allows you to use the speakers with a separate audio source, like other mp3 players or a laptop. The battery indicator also was added from their previous version (mm50), so that's a nice feature that lets you know how much battery life is left. I got about 8 hours yesterday, playing at about 3/4 volume. Overall, I would recommend this system to everyone who can get it for half the retail price.

Great sonic bang for the buck, November 7, 2007

I've used this unit for approx. a month now. The sturdy case travels well, although it gets a second look from the security folks at the airport scanner. The charging cord and worldwide adaptor are well-designed and fit nicely into the case when closed. It would've been nice to include enough room for the iPod as well. The system is great for the hotel room or camping trip and if you're realistic about the expected sound quality from a pair of 2" drivers, you'll be pleasantly surprised. In addition to the 2" drivers, it has a pair of what Logitech calls "pressure drivers", actually passive radiators that really help push out the bass. The surround sound button adds that extra wide sound, but it's not appropriate for every recording. Logitech ships a set of plastic inserts to accomodate EVERY iPod out there. I have the 80GB classic video, and it docks nicely, although you don't want to bump it too hard or you may damage the connector. The fold out legs with rubber feet make it stable. The 3.5mm AUX line in is nice for those other audio sources. Battery life is decent, but don't expect it to pound out the tunes all weekend w/o a recharge. In the hotel or at home, just plug it in and you'll have tunes as long as you need them, and it'll charge the iPod while docked. The included remote is really handy, well laid out and has a good range. The Altec Lansing and Bose units sound better, but are much bulkier and definitely pricier. All in all a good improvement to the MM50 system for the money.

Review of Logitech Pure-Fi, June 2, 2008

Francisco A. Durazo Gomez "Paco Durazo" (Hermosillo, SON, MEX)

I bought this product as my first ipod-Speaker product.

I gotta admit that the design is really nice. It surely looks like a classy set of speakers and its ideal to have in the livingroom or bar-area of your house.

However, I expected a little more of its sound. When on the outside, even at full sound these speakers don't make the cut.
I recently tried it at a small gathering i had on my backyard, even at full sound, we could barely hear some of the songs. Im thinking that these type of speakers won't work in a big gathering/party.

Bottom line, looks really nice on a shelf inside or your house. Ideal for poker-nights with your friends, but not for outside parties.

So you see, the Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere iPod Speakers are a blast so you shouldn't miss out. They come packed-full of speakers so you can rock out at your party.

List Price: $129.99
Reccomended Price: $100.00
