Review with iPhone 3G
By Sam
I'm used to buying Bose or Altec Lansing but I wanted a little footprint with internal battery so it may moved around the house and likewise I could use it when going on longer trips outside. This was a perfective choice since it came with everything in a little package. I was skeptical in buying this and had pretty low expected values but once I plugged in and played, I was enjoyably amazed to see the output from a little speaker.
Pro's
Works with iPhone 3G***
Great sound for the little package. Very good on vocal.
10hr rechargeable battery with indicator
Excellent remote with very good range (Tried it from 15ft and it works great)
Nice carrying pouch
Good price taking into account the price on JBL on stage etc.
The one touch repeat or shuffle function is very sensible with this.I use to play songs for my baby and many times I keep doing repeats and this has been utile or skipping the same songs in line
Cons
Good on vocal and couple of instrumental but lacks BASS. If you are employed to higher and larger speakers Bose & Altec Lansing, You might find it not very good (but taking into account the size I would say it's great)
Small remote could effortlessly misplaced. Suggest a velcro on the speaker and remote so you may be sticking it when not in use
Overall 4+ stars cosidering the output and size and the winner is the built-in battery. Will do a lot of more test and post after couple of months usage.

Excellent Speaker System for iPhone 3g
By Sette/Otto
As an owner of an iPhone, I was sad to find that the GSM interference invented by the phone invented insane noises when using my closely 4 year-old JBL onstage (which has been a solid performer for years). As I went on the search for a substitute I did a ton of exploration and decisive on this unit.
I was initially hesitant to get a sound product from Logitech - but I am glad to report that my hesitation was unwarranted. I am very pleased with the sound and build quality of this unit.
I am likewise geeked because I may leave my iPhone in it is case (switcheasy colors) when I place it on the dock connector. I was less than thrilled by the idea of removing my case just to listen to a heap of music.
Here is a list of pros and cons:
Pros:
1. Sound quality. I've put this system through some hip-hop, rock, alternative, classical, acoustic, vocal and other types of music and it has come out great.
2. Build quality. The form factor is excellent. The included case and iPod adapters are cool as well.
3. Price/Performanc ratio. There are a number of choices available for the iPhone 3g now. And I feel this is the best when giving careful consideration to price. Other offerings from JBL are decent units - but the logitech is available for far less money.
4. Portability. The integrated battery is great. I used to relocate my onstage on our porch and had to always have it near a plug. The logitech's battery makes it far more portable and flexible.
5. Bass response. This is technically percentage of number 1, but I am very astonished at the depth of the sound. Drums don't sound anemic and the overall lows are top notch.
Cons.
Not too much to report. Overall, this is incisively what you'd want in a purchase. It delivers on all counts: sound quality, price, features and build quality.
I think Logitech has a real winner here.
One final note. The pics on Amazon's website don't in truth do this unit justice. It is a good looking piece of kit. The pics use an ipod classic that make the unit look dated. I was initially hesitant to order due to this, but I am very glad that I got over those reservations.
Overall, if you are in the market for an iPhone speaker set there is not one thing actually negative to consider with this unit. You get what you pay for and that is thankfully a good thing.

Review with ipod Classic 160 GB
By Wendell Vaughn
I am also used to high quality sound systems, but I was looking for a portable ipod speaker scheme that could run on batteries. After a significant amount of testing of the Logitech scheme versus other brands (at local stores), I determined that for the money, this was the best choice. I tested multiple Sony docks and a few other brands. The Bose version naturally sounds better, but not $300 better.
The Logitech unit comes with a set of so a lot of ipod adapters to fit each model that I could in all likelihood build a garage out of the extras. My ipod never leaves the acrylic case I purchased for it, so one nice bonus was that the Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 will actually fit the acrylic case if you don't use an adapter. Therefore, my ipod screen will never run the danger of being scratched while it's in the dock.
Overall, the sound is pretty good for it's size. I would not hesitate to buy another in the future. I also will test the battery life, though I am told from the Apple Store that it will likely only last for when it comes to 5 hours rather of 10. I give it 5 stars because it's so inexpensive for the quality.
