 Perfect for My Needs January 30, 2008
S. So (Lost in America)
29 out of 31 found this review helpful
When I learned that my boys need to sell raffle tickets in front of places like Wal-Mart and other grocery stores as a part of their youth symphony membership requirements, I suddenly found myself in need for a portable speaker to play their violin accompaniment pieces. For their first of ongoing sales performances, I borrowed a neighbor's portable CD player. But I didn't want to keep borrowing for future performances, so I decided on purchasing an iPod speaker. I figure it's definitely a better option since I already have an iPod and that CD players are going out of fashion. My criteria for the speaker were:
1) portable and light enough not to be burdensome when carrying it around; 2) has to operate on both battery and AC power; 3) good sound, if not great; 4) good overall reviews from sites like CNet and others; 5) decent pricing; and finally, 6) esthetically pleasing design and construction.
When I started researching on the available iPod speakers currently out in the market, I quickly found out that there wasn't one that met all the criteria listed to my fullest satisfaction. If I found one that I liked, it turned out that the unit doesn't operate on battery; if I found another one that caught my attention, then it had bad reviews on sound quality, or exorbitant pricing, etc. etc. Until I paid my attention to Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere.
It didn't have the very top reviews of all the iPod speakers out there, but it turned out that most of the negative reviews -- not that there were many -- were based on faulty understanding of the unit's functions, particularly the complaints that the speaker is "weak" when in fact there's a button you need to press for a wider stereo sound.
This beautiful find is just perfect for my needs. It's the only product that truly met all of my criteria listed above: 1) it's not only very light and portable, but unlike other products, it comes with a clam shell case that you can store the unit for traveling. The case may not be made of a genuine leather or metal, but I'm very gratified by this nice, considerate touch. 2) For my need to play the unit "Anywhere," this product does exactly that with the rechargeable battery that lasts for 10 hours. Other brands, if they operate on battery power at all, don't last as long, at least on paper. Although the built-in rechargeable battery is not replaceable, I'm happy enough that I'm not going to be too picky. 3) While I was hoping to get a decent sound out of this small unit, I was really impressed and thrilled to find that the sound quality definitely exceeded way beyond my expectations. My ears may be getting old, but I truly couldn't tell a difference between this unit and the $300 Bose that I tested at a local Sam's Club. I was simply wow'ed! 4) This product would have received a much higher rating than the 7.7 that CNet currently has if it weren't for the misunderstanding mentioned above. 5) Spending under $100 for the quality product like this, I think, was a steal. I'm sooooo glad that I didn't pull out my credit card for that Bose at the Sam's Club the other day!! 6) I'm glad that my iPod is white to go with the white version of Anywhere, as I think it looks cleaner (less dust visibility, for one!) to what's already esthetically pleasing design.
Lastly, I'd like to mention three other "thoughtfulness" of the product package that I very much appreciated -- apart from the clam shell case: 1) the unit comes with a small and pretty wireless remote to control the power switch, volume level, activate stereo to widen the sound field, navigate the iPod menu and tracks, and adjusting shuffle and repeat. It's not the most perfect remote control I've used, but it's quite functional within 15 ft. I'd have been exceedingly happy even if the unit didn't come with the remote (many other competing brands don't even provide one), so who cares if it doesn't work from two rooms away? 2) The unit comes with a bunch of universal dock adapters to choose yours from. The adapter snugly held my iPod that it wouldn't fall off even when I turned the unit sideways. I think it wouldn't fall off even if you turn the unit upside down, but I'll have you check that out and report back. And finally, 3) the provided AC power adapter is of international voltage (100-240V), a nice touch for those traveling internationally. Furthermore, this AC adapter is designed such that the cord can be neatly wrapped around the base of the adapter itself. When traveling you can tuck the AC adapter into the dock of the speaker unit and then into the clam shell case.
Really nice speaker set December 20, 2007

This is a really nice set of speakers. Great sound, solid bass and treble. The unit is quite small, with little legs that fold out to stand it up. The remote control works well. The case (black, even for the white unit I got) is good quality. The AC adapter cord is one of those nice ones, with the folding plug and a little cord winder for storage. All AC adapters should be designed like this. The unit came with about 10 different adapters for various ipods. We have an old 20GB 3G ipod, which by the way doesn't work in the cradle. You have to buy a cord and use the input jack at the back. Not a huge issue, because we also have a nano that works perfectly in the cradle, but nice to know (same issue apparently for 1G and 2G, which have no cradle). It's about time for an ipod upgrade anyway.

Great portable Ipod Speaker System August 16, 2008

I have had the speaker system for about a month and love it. It sounds good. It fills the room but not the house with clean sound. The battery charges quickly and lasts me about 6 hours. Higher volume reduces the battery time. The charger works well and the indicator lights are useful to tell when the battery is fully charged and when recharging is needed again. The case is a handy feature for traveling with your speakers.
For the money these are the best portable speakers I have found for the Ipod. The Bose may sound better but at 5 times the cost were not worth it for me.
Good Sound for small unit December 31, 2007

Surprisingly, this has good bass for how small it is. I like that it's rechargeable and there a battery gauge at the top. The remote also allows you to easily navigate the ipod menu.
