The Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 iPod dock is similar to its predecessor in nearly every way, except it adds iPhone compatibility. This means that a docked iPhone can play music and still receive phone calls without the risk of interference or GSM buzz. Jeremy Horwitz at iLounge.com loves its design and calls it the "best-sounding portable speaker in its price class," and most reviewers agree. The biggest flaw is the Pure-Fi Anywhere 2's buggy remote that runs out of juice easily or dies after several weeks. We also saw a few reports on user review sites that the speakers often shut off (due to a sensitive power-saving feature) when the volume is turned down very low. These issues aside, most reviewers say the Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 is an excellent portable iPod speaker. While sound quality is very good, reviewers say the newer Logitech Rechargeable Speaker S715i (*Est. $150) sounds even better, thanks to additional bass drivers.
Many professional reviewers test the Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2. The best review comes from iLounge.com, arguably the most comprehensive source of iPod speaker reviews. ILounge.com extensively tests the Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 for performance and ranks it against its competitors. Audioholics.com, MacLife and the British magazine What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision have useful but shorter reviews. We also found user reviews at Amazon.com.

Jeremy Horwitz says the sound quality of the Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 is awesome, and he praises the design, the long battery life and the minimal interference when using it with the iPhone. However, the Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 loses some points for its inconvenient remote control that cannot reactivate the iPhone from standby mode.
