I use these speakers in hotel rooms while traveling with an iPod Classic 160GB. (I have also tested my iPod TOuch and an iPhone, all work with no problems and dock adapters are included). In my opinion, the sound is very good for the size. Don’t expect this to rival your home stereo or much larger speaker systems, there’s just not a ton of bass or very great highs, which is to be expected from a single, small active driver. Given that there is only one driver though, the sound quality is quite amazing. There’s a certain ‘coherency’ that comes from having one driver which just catches your ear, and this system brings that out. The passive driver helps with providing decent bass response, in my comparison the best in systems of this size. I find sound quality best when I place the system on a desk or nightstand at least 12″ back from the edge. I listen for hours without getting that feeling of being worn out by bad sound. The remote mostly works well, but there does seem to be a slight delay between pushing buttons on the remote and when the function on the iPod is carried out, I would guess about 1/2 second in some cases. Not a big deal when you get used to it. The volume control when used from the remote seems to be quite sensitive. This remote allows you to operate all functions of the iPod using the remote, which is a nice feature, assuming you’re able to read the iPod screen from accross the room. There’s a 3. 5mm (little) headphone jack on the back to which you can plug in another device. I often use this to plug in my laptop, as these speakers are superior to my laptop speakers. by a landslide. (The cable is not included but only costs a few dollars at Amaon or BestBuy) If you want to use your iPod as an alarm clock, you can use this device as your speaker. I have found that in order for that to work reliably it does need to be plugged in to power. After your iPod has been off for a few minutes, the speakers will power down, but they will automatically power back up when your iPod starts playing a song as a result of an alarm. (This is a feature that has been added since the MM-50, which was the previous model on which this did not work) The power adapter is small and has a convenient holder to wrap the cord around. With cord and all, it will fit in the well for the iPod when traveling, and the whole combination, complete with remote, will fit in the included fairly small travel case. (With the predecessor MM-50 the power supply would not store in the case) The functions on the remote have been greatly extended since the MM-50, now you can control anything your iPod can do. The price you pay to do this is the loss of the iPod doc connector at the back of the unit. It used to be possible to plug the audio/video cable in the back of the MM-50, then use the video output to connect to a monitor or TV. Since this connector is not there on this model, you can no longer do that. (Probably for most people this is not a big loss since they simply use the speakers in the TV) The power meter showing battery level is quite useful. It also has an indicator to let you know when outlet power is plugged in, this is useful so you know for sure the internal battery is charging. The claimed battery life of 10 hours is a bit on the optimistic side, of course a lot depends on how loud you play the unit. My experience has been between 3 and 7 hours. While the unit is plugged in, the iPod or iPhone that’s connected will be charged. While the unit is running on battery, they will NOT be charged. So make sure you have both your speakers and your iPod charged! I picked this unit after listening to and trying about 30 of them, based on ease of use, travel size, sound quality and its ability to take an input from my laptop. I travel about half the year so it gets frequent use and is carried in carry-on on a plane at least once a week. So far, it has lived and continues to work well.

A great deal
I love these little speakers! The sound is good, and the rechargeable battery holds up long enough for most purposes. And the price just cannot be beat. Strongly recommended.

My second Logitech pod player
I had my first Logitech player for about five years and it finally stopped recharging. I liked it enough to try the latest version and am not disappointed.
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.

just ok
not the best sound for outdoors.
best in a quiet room.
mine kept turning off on its own.
I have the Logitech MM50 and I have been very happy with that product. There are two annoying things about that product, the battery life is not all that great and the power adapter has no storage within the package. That’s where the the Pure-Fi Anywhere product shines. The battery meter and the ability to stow the power adapter in with the speakers is great. Believe it or not, the sound quality is even better then the MM50’s which is very good as well. I haven’t been disappointed with either product.

Excellent sound. Some said it was distorted or not loud enough but I think it’s actually better than the old speakers.

It never worked!
I bought the unit hoping to have it on the beach and such at my shore house and to be able to use it in hotels when I travel.
it has never worked.

Awesome! Especially for the price.
Great product with great sound. Well worth the price. One thing would improve the product and that would be a hold or lock button so that it doesn’t turn on while in transit and…

Since I read more positive than negative comments before I purchased, I decided to give it a try. While I had an opportunity to return the system, no questions asked, I am…
