In a market brimming with iPod speaker systems, it can be hard to compete. However, combine a well-known company with a well-designed, good-sounding, relatively inexpensive product and you've got the Logitech mm50, a wildly popular portable iPod speaker unit. In the spirit of improving on a good thing, Logitech has finally come out with a follow-up nearly two years later. The new unit, called the Pure-Fi Anywhere, offers improved sound and a more advanced remote for the same affordable ($150) price.
At 13 by 3.6 by 1.6 inches and 1.6 pounds, the Pure-Fi Anywhere is on the hefty side for a travel speaker, but the flip-out metal legs, the built-in rechargeable battery, and the included travel case redeem its portability. In addition to the clamshell carrying case, Logitech includes nine iPod dock adapters, which will ensure a secure fit for any previous generation iPod (besides the Shuffle). For newer iPods--such as the Classic and 3G Nano--you'll need to use the adapters that come with the player. As for those with Shuffles or even non-iPod MP3 players, the Pure-Fi Anywhere accommodates with a line-in port found on the back of the unit. (You'll need to provide your own cable, though.) Of course, the unit can only charge iPods using the 30-pin connector, and then only if the speakers are plugged into wall power using the included AC adapter. Actually, this seemingly boring extra is pretty nifty: it has an appendage for wrapping up the power cable for easy storage.
