2 Star Review Exelent sound quality, but compatability issues.

Strengths:

Sounds amazing. Can fill any room Portable and rechargeable

Weaknesses:

Sketchy remote Cuts out when plugged in to a audio jack Can recharge ipod when audio jack plugged in ipod docking pieces don't fit

Posted 1 year ago - My friend had these speakers and i just loved how they sounded for how small they were. Liked it so much that i got my own and then began to find some flaws. First was my remote stopped working after 2 days. I tried replacing the battery but it still will not work. Also i couldn't seem to get the plastic ipod holder pieces to snap in all the way. But these didn't really bother me at all. When i moved into my dorm this fall i decided it would be cool to set these speakers on my desk and take advantage of the audio jack in the back so i could have better sound quality without having to buy a desktop speaker set and plug it into my Macbook. Everything works except it goes on these cycles of cutting out. For almost an hr at a time, it will continue to cut out about every min to 2 min consistently. I have to fiddle with the computer volume to get them to respond and turn back on( By bringing up the volume at least 3 clicks before i hear the speakers start up and respond). But overtime it will work fine and not cut out at all (for example right now its playing music fine, but about 30 min ago i had to mess with the volume to get them to respond on 7 separate occasions. I didn't do anything different all 7 times. It just eventually worked again.). And this only happens when plugged into a power outlet and hooked into my mac book with a basic audio jack (3.5 mm i think? just like headphone jacks for ipods. ) I also tried replacing the audio extension cable and bought a better quality cable, but still have the same problem ruling out a short in the wire. Ive concluded that what the speakers are doing are turning themselves off. When they cut out, the power symbol is still lit, but this is because it will always be lit when plugged into a power outlet. And its also not short in the power cable that causes it to turn of b/c ive tried unplugging it while music is playing through my computer, and it will continue to play. And still does when power is plugged back in. Ive pretty much tried everything to figure out what the issue is and have run out of ideas. And it also cant be the computer b/c headphones do not cut out when plugged in like the speakers. ( so if you have an idea let me know) Also music cannot play through the audio jack when an ipod is plugged in. And you cant play your ipod if an audio jack is in. Its like they cancel each other out and make the speakers unless. I tried this b/c i wanted to us it a charging station for my ipod when using itunes on my computer (i would use the ipod but its a hassle to reach up and change the song b/c i don't have a working remote anymore) but it wont even charge it either. But i guess these are understandable b/c the main use of these speakers are intended for ipod use and the audio port was like an added bonus. (probable didn't get a lot of attention from the developers; more like something they slapped on at the last min in my opinion. Would i buys these again? Probable not b/c of the broken remote, audio port flaws, and the other various issues Ive run into with compatibility. But if you are just looking for some really good speakers for use with an ipod only, I would recommend these to anyone for the incredible sound quality that gives this full and almost three denominational sound when the pure-fi is switched on.

5 Star Review Pure-Fi Anywhere Speakers for iPod

Strengths:

Look, portability, adapters, remote

Weaknesses:

PRICE, doesn't charge.

Posted 1 year ago - If found at a good price then these are some of the best portable speakers in looks and sound quality. I purchased this product at a low price (price mistake?) and i think i got a steal. The sound is very good for portable speakers though wish it had better bass. Also wish it would had been a little shorter. All the adapters to fit all your ipods are included. Don't hesitate to purchase this product if you are in need of portable speakers for your ipod(s).

5 Star Review Pure-Fi makes a GREAT travel companion

Strengths:

Size, built-in rechargeable batteries, remote

Weaknesses:

Not heavy on bass, but can adjust to some extent with iPod tone settings

Posted 1 year ago - The Pure-Fi has now made a couple of trips with me and I will have to say it has meet all my expectations. The size even with the included case are easy to pack and take up very little room. The sound is generous even thought the bass is lacking to some degree. The controls are easy to understand, although I did find the buttons on the unit itself somewhat hard to press. Hopefully they will free up over time and become easier to use. The remote is also a nice feature and I find I use it more than I really expected to. Overall a very nice portable sound system for the iPod.

5 Star Review Nice Portable Speakers for Apple iPods

Strengths:

Great sound, comes with an AC adapter, can be used with other MP3 devices

Weaknesses:

The size is somewhat large to be really portable

Posted 1 year ago - I have been using these speakers for just over a month, and I am very satisfied with them. They are the best portable speakers I have ever owned. The sound is great, and the bass is more than adequate. I also like the fact that the product came with an AC adapter and a remote control. It also can be used with other MP3 devices. The only complaint I may have with the product is the size and weight. It is somewhat large and heavy for a portable set of speakers.

5 Star Review Great!

Strengths:

Good Sound, Battery Life, Looks, Compatibility

Weaknesses:

None

Posted 1 year ago - Overall these speakers are amazing. After rebates I only paid $15 (which is far below MSRP). It plays from my Ipod, Sandisk E280 and Iphone just fine. Can play with 2 or 4 speakers and off battery or line in. They are very loud for their size and I was impressed with battery life.

5 Star Review Excellent product

Strengths:

good sound. carrying case. remote. recharheable battery

Weaknesses:

maybe price

Posted 1 year ago - It sounds better than most other similarly-sized iPod speaker systems. The rechargeable battery provides better than 8 hours of playing time and has a battery-life indicator. When it's plugged into the wall it can play music and recharge your iPod simultaneously. The wireless remote control also offers controls for the iPod menus so you can browse and select items remotely. Finally, both remote and speakers offer a button for "Stereo XL," which Logitech claims "dramatically widens the sound field." Th eprice is little high, but bottomline is it os worth the price.

4 Star Review Logitech Pure Fi Anywhere

Strengths:

Sleek, esthetics.

Weaknesses:

Battery Life.

Posted 1 year ago - Sound is great for small speakers. Nice, shiny and sleek appearance. Speakers seemed to shut down on its own every 5 minutes but resetting has corrected this problem, I think.

4 Star Review Logitech Pure-fi Anywhere

Strengths:

Form factor, Visual Appeal, Logitech Brand Name, Remote Control, high quality and stylish carrying case

Weaknesses:

Glossy finish, limited speaker range, loss of fidelity on higher volumes

Posted 1 year ago - 1. Excellent to look at 2. Remote range is acceptable 3. Sound quality acceptable at low to mid volumes 4. Loss of fidelity at high volumes 5. Boomy bass as opposed to tight bass (but then thats expecting too much for this price) 6. Glossy black surface susceptible to smudges and finger prints 7. acceptable recharging times for inbuilt battery 8. very stylish carrying case 9. Universal voltage adapter makes it easier to use across the world. 10. All iPod adapters included Logitech has come to be associated with high quality and most bang for the buck peripherals and popular accessories. And the Pure-fi is no different in this philosophy although if I have to pick, this one rules more by virtue of visual appeal than performance. There are better performers but not at this price. Carry on, Logitech

4 Star Review Decent sound for the price!

Strengths:

Good sound (for the price), Compact, Works with iPhone and most iPods

Weaknesses:

Remote is a little flakey, Non-replaceable battery?? Who makes this, Apple??

Posted Jun 2, 2008 - Logitech routinely offers rebates for this (and most of their other products..), so you can pick it up for pretty cheap. The biggest negative about this product is the non-replaceable lithium battery... These always make me a little worried about how useful this will be to me when the battery eventually dies. Overall I would definitely purchase this product again and recommend it to anyone looking for a similar product.

4 Star Review Pure-Fi Anywhere Speakers for iPod

Strengths:

Great sound quality, excellent speaker

Weaknesses:

na

Posted Jun 2, 2008 - This is a Good portable speaker for my ipod. It has great sound quality when you use the "3 d" bottom. Once you charge with full battery, it stays long time. .I only need to charge it once a week. The only concern I have is -the size of the speaker. If it can be smaller and lighter, it will be a almost perfect aperaker to me!

4 Star Review Decent sound in a complete easy to travel with package.

Strengths:

Portable, Finish, Sound Quality, Remote, Included AC Adapter that fits IN the carry case.

Weaknesses:

Adapters could be better fitting. Finish is a fingerprint magnet.

Posted May 30, 2008 - Decent sound from a portable sound solution is what I was looking for. This unit comes in a nice case that also houses the AC Adapter. To me this is a huge plus for travelling. Sound quality is decent enough and the volume for me is more than sufficient. This is a little larger unit than I would normally travel with but the sound quality makes it worthwhile to bring along if I am checking a bag. The actual unit is very nice with a piano black finish which is a magnet for fingerprints, dust and scratches. For the price paid (not even close to retail) and with logitech's excellent rebate service this was an outstanding purchase.

5 Star Review Awesome Little Speakers!

Strengths:

Small Size, portable

Weaknesses:

Too many darn Ipod adapters

Posted May 29, 2008 - Needed a smallish pair of speakers for my desk at work. Had been pluggin my Ipod into my stereo with an RCA adapter, but was a pain having to bring the Ipod home everyday to recharge since it's dead after 8 hours. This little speaker setup fit the bill perfectly. Good sound, not great deep base, but surprisingly good for such small speakers. The portability wasn't an issue, since I leave it plugged in all the time, but nice bonus that I can take them on the road if I want. They even come with a very nice, solid carrying case. Didn't expect that at all.

5 Star Review Good quality portable speaker for Ipod

Strengths:

Nice piano finished style. Good sound quality. Light weight. Functional remote control. Solid carrying case.

Weaknesses:

Bass

Posted May 28, 2008 - I bought this speaker from Amazon for my IPod touch. Since I am using Logitech Z3 PC speaker, I am confident with the sound quality of Logitech's product. When I tried it at home it produced very good mid range sound. I also has a Bose Sounddock in my bedroom and only sound a little better on the stereo effect and heavier bass. For almost 10 times cheaper than the Bose, this speaker will be a good replacement for traveling or put in the bathroom. This speaker has good modern looking on the outside with black piano finish. It's long but will fit in my backpack. The Bose will have noise when the wifi of Ipod Touch is on, while I have not heard it from this speaker. All in all I am very happy with the purchase of this speaker and I highly recommend it.
