Review: Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere

I’ve always had loads of trouble finding a good way to blare my music. You know what I mean. When you’re sitting at home, bored out of your mind, and decide to pump some music and just dance like a fool to your favorite band (yes, we know about your undying love for Hannah Montana). And let’s face it, there is no Mac with built-in speakers that scream. You need something that’s light, but still packs enough punch to get the job done.

Introducing the Pure-Fi Anywhere Speaker System.

Upon opening the package you will immediately find a sleek black travel case that holds the speakers, the remote and the charger. (Oddly enough, there’s no room for your iPod after that.) The speakers themselves look fantastic. The unit comes in black and white, with a glossy plastic covering.  The system is all-in-one, so the only cord you need are the charger. The form factor overall is smooth and very clean-cut.

The greatest feature of the Pure-Fi is its portability. Not only is the system small but it is also very lightweight, eliminating the boom box factor, and its battery can hold a charge for up to ten hours. It’s a great device for taking around with you to school, to the beach, or wherever. The sound is great on this system for it’s size. It does pack a punch, but it’s not going to power your house party.

The only real negative to the product is the remote that comes with it. It feels cheap and very cluttered, which definitely drags down the experience of the player. They put in four dedicated buttons to navigate the iPod Menu’s, which is totally pointless unless you are less than 3 feet away.

Overall the Pure-Fi is an awesome player for your room, and although it will take $150 out of your pocket, its form factor and function still make this player a great buy.
