CNET editors' take
Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 (black) price range: $50.00
- Reviewed on: 11/18/2009
The good: The Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 offers an understated, travel-friendly design that's compatible with both iPods and other MP3 players (via auxiliary line-in), and it includes GSM shielding for use with the iPhone. The speaker sounds great; has a built-in, rechargeable battery; and comes with a travel case and an innovative wall charger. The included remote lets you navigate the iPod's menus.
The bad: The remote's range isn't very good, and the Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 isn't as compact as many portable speaker options.
The bottom line: It may not be the most compact portable speaker on the block, but the Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 offers useful extras and great sound for an affordable price.

Great Little Speakers
by drjohnk on May 18, 2009
Pros: Well rounded sound (with and w/o ac power)
Easy interface
Simple and beautiful designCons: Remote will not work completely with 5g iPod. (Only volume)
Remote interface is slightly sluggish and unnecessarily complicated.Summary: I would most definitely recommend this product.
My biggest priority was to keep the price low, while having quality sound.
I got both of those objectives.

My biggest priority was to keep the price low, while having quality sound.
I got both of those objectives.
My only complaints are on interface.
Obviously not many people have 5g iPods anymore, but I was still disappointed that it didn't work perfectly with the remote... The remote at any rate, is the setup's greatest weakness. The remote mimics the apple remote, but with unnecessary complications.2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

Am liking this.
by project86 on June 13, 2010
Pros: I am really liking this speaker dock. Rechargeable internal battery means complete portability. Take it anywhere and not have to worry about dying batteries that would not last 10 hours on one charge like this.
Cons: I would say the only things wrong with this would be no LCD. Menu button does not scroll properly. When you press the Menu button, it switches to the next tab, but when it gets to the end, it does not go back to the first tab.
Summary: Aside from not being able to use the Menu button for this properly and fully, I would say this is a decent speaker dock for first time iPod users. I ...
Summary: Aside from not being able to use the Menu button for this properly and fully, I would say this is a decent speaker dock for first time iPod users. I have the Touch and pressing the Menu button switches the tabs until it gets to the end. When it gets to the end, it goes back one then forward one. So if you have Playlist, Artist, Song, Album, More. What it will do is select each one from the left to the right, but when it gets to the More option, it goes back one to the Album option. Pressing Menu will select More again, then Album, then More, etc. It will not return to the beginning, so you have to manually choose Playlist again to get it back to the beginning. Another thing I do not like is when you press up or down to choose a album, song or artist, it goes up or down twice for every time you press once. So if you press once up, it will go up twice. I really hate that as it passes albums, artists or songs I wish to play so I have to either hold the button down and release the button when it reaches the point I want, or I have to manually go up to the iPod and choose what I want that way. Aside from that, and no LCD, alarm, radio tuner, etc., this is a decent product. I bought mine brand new on ebay for 65.99, free shipping. And mine came in white. There is no way this thing is worth 99.99 and up for what little it does. I can get a cord for 10 bucks and plug it into my stereo for what this thing does. It was not worth the 65.99 I paid for it, but companies know you will want a speaker dock for the best MP3 player out there, so they are going to make you pay for it. This speaker dock has no features or extra buttons that are noteworthy for the price. All it has is a stereo xl button, repeat and shuffle
button. That's about it. And they want 100 dollars and up for this? LOL Glad I chose to shop smart. I originally gave this product 3 1/2 stars, but as I wrote the review, I brought it down to 3, then 2 1/2. I think for the features and what little it offers except the very basics, that is a reasonable assessment.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

For the price no comparison.
by roberthendry on December 19, 2009
Pros: The sound is great, but the rechargeable battery, fold up legs, convienent carrying case and remote make this player a home run. i'm looking forward to using it on the golf course, my group enjoys the music.
Cons: I have found no draw backs.
Summary: Price, size, convience, and sound makes the best buy for in/outdoor usage i've found. plugged in it recharges the Iphone.

For the price, the speakers are great
by TechDude09 on June 21, 2009
Pros: Good sound quality, long-lasting rechargable battery, nice remote, good sound quality, nice features.
Cons: Remote doesn't seem to have too long of a range, speakers turn off automatically after 2 minutes of no music, even when it's plugged into an electrical outlet.

Good sound and great portability.
by reeeally on April 21, 2012
Pros: Good sound, and isn't that what really matters? Solid construction. Rechargeable battery. I like that the charger and remote fit in the travel case, a nice improvement over the MM50. I hope whoever came up with the cord storage got a nice bonus.
Cons: Haven't come across any.
Summary: So far, so good. I've been using an MM50 for over five years with a 5.5 gen 80 GB iPod and have been thoroughly satisfied with it. I ...
Summary: So far, so good. I've been using an MM50 for over five years with a 5.5 gen 80 GB iPod and have been thoroughly satisfied with it. I saw an Anywhere-2 on clearance at Target for $49.00 and couldn't pass it up. This isn't going to replace my home stereo, but for the hotel room while traveling, the bedroom, bathroom while getting ready in the morning or out on the deck, it's top notch, better and louder than the MM50 in side-by-side testing. The portability is great, with the charger and remote nicely fitting in the travel case, an improvement over the MM50, although the MM50s' case was of a more rigid design. And the remotes are interchangeable. Not all that important, but there it is. But it's biggest improvement, for me, anyway, is that it'll charge my iTouch, something the MM50 couldn't do. If you expect this to shake the the house, you'll be disappointed, but if you're looking for nice sound, solid construction and portability at a good price, this is for you.

Cheap finish, poor sound range
by MManda2u on February 2, 2011
Pros: 10-hour rechargeable battery
Charges device
Easy to Use
Includes Remote ControlCons: Buttons don't register, feel cheap
Remote Control range is poor
Volume range is poor
High price pointSummary: There are better portable speakers available for the money. I also have a comparably inexpensive Altec Lansing portable speaker that performs just as well. I suppose you're paying $90 ...
Summary: There are better portable speakers available for the money. I also have a comparably inexpensive Altec Lansing portable speaker that performs just as well. I suppose you're paying $90 more for that internal battery. It doesn't seem like a value considering the poor design quality, unresponsive buttons, and limited volume range. I'll be returning these speakers and continuing my search.

by throwerboy on January 27, 2011
Pros: portable. rechargeable battery (hold charge). comes with a remote. most of all, it has good sound quality.
Cons: there is really no cons i have at the current time. i will have to read through the booklet. when i hook it up to my laptop it plays music and then turns off after maybe a song or so. but im sure there is something in the instructions for that.
Summary: brand new this system is like 138. great value for what your getting. sound and quality are a most for me. i can not afford to listen to music and ...

Great Customer Sevice
by radral on December 2, 2010
Pros: good sound for size, rechargeable batter, relatively portable
Cons: no AM/FM, ipod fits into device ok, not as well as my onkyo ipod connector
Summary: I own 2 of these, originally purchasing the original purefi. After 1.75 years of nearly constant use (average of 10 hours of use a day) some of the buttons ...
Summary: I own 2 of these, originally purchasing the original purefi. After 1.75 years of nearly constant use (average of 10 hours of use a day) some of the buttons began to not function. Called Logitech and they sent me the newer version within 1-2 weeks.
my only complaint is i wish they had an adaptable mp3 player port (like on my onkyo ipod adapter) the onkyo has a simple wheel that you turn to get a tight fit between player and device, simple and functional. logitech provides several plastic attachments. these work, just not as well (still works better than other portable devices i have seen) -
Worst customer experience I've ever had
by valek13 on August 5, 2009
Pros: Great for the 5 minutes before it broke
Cons: Paying for replacement parts that never arrive. ABYSMAL customer service

Summary: This product worked great for the 5 minutes before the cheap plastic plug broke. Since then I've had an expensive papaer weight. It has been three weeks of calling Logitech numerous times attempting a resolution or refund of this issue. I don't have words strong enough to convey how bad the customer service and support are. They hang up. They make promises they don't keep. They take your money and don't provide you with what you bought. It has been over 3 hours of phone time now and I'm still no closer to having this resolved than I was seconds after the plug broke. I would avoid this product at all costs and strongly encourage you to buy from a company that stands behind their products. This company is not Logitech.
