Amazon.com Product Description -- Posted October 19, 2008 Get great sound throughout the room with Logitech's Pure-Fi Express Plus Speaker Dock for your iPod or iPhone. The Pure-Fi Express Plus features omnidirectional acoustic technology, which provides great sound at a more consistent level throughout the room. It also includes the ability to run on AC or battery power, which--along with an integrated handle--makes it easy to take your music from room to room. Other features include a clock with alarm, so you can rest assured that you'll wake on time; and a wireless remote control that works from up to 30 feet (10 meters) away, and stores neatly in an integrated compartment. In all, it's a great way to dock, play, and charge your iPod or iPhone.
Logitech's Omnidirectional Advantage: Make Any Spot in Your Room a Sweet Spot You don't sit in one spot when you're listening to music from your iPod. Shouldn't your speakers produce great sound no matter where you are in your room? Most of today's speakers for the iPod are designed to deliver the highest-quality sound immediately in front of the speakers. If you move from what audiophiles call the sweet spot on the couch to the impromptu dance floor, the sound you hear can easily become distorted, and you might find yourself out of step.
The Logitech Pure-Fi Express Plus omnidirectional speakers are designed to transmit sound more consistently over a wider range of space, so you never miss a beat--no matter where you are in the room.
Traditional Versus Omnidirectional Loudspeakers Most speakers are designed to radiate sound in a fixed direction. As shown in Figure 1, traditional speakers optimize sound for a sweet spot located directly in front of the speakers. In other words, the sweet spot is limited to a constrained sound field that fans outward in one direction. If you're outside the sweet spot, you'll hear unbalanced sound due to loudspeaker directionality.
Logitech Audio Labs' omnidirectional speakers differ from traditional speakers. Designed to radiate sound more uniformly over a wider range of frequencies and angles, Logitech's omnidirectional speakers create a broad sweet spot that is not dependent on a fixed listening position, as shown in Figure 2. The true hallmark of omnidirectional speakers, however, is the increased sound quality that comes from tonally balanced direct and reflected sound. The increased reverberant sound field also increases the sensation of spaciousness and listener envelopment. By designing loudspeakers to radiate sound more uniformly, Logitech delivers great sound to any spot in the room.
iPod/iPhone Speaker Dock Lets you dock, play and charge your iPod or iPhone.
Omnidirectional Acoustic Technology Normal stereo desktop speakers deliver sound from discrete sound locations, making a more focused sweet spot. Logitech's omnidirectional speakers transmit sound consistently across the room and create a much larger sweet spot, allowing for great sound anywhere in the room.
Portable Player Plugs in or runs on batteries, so you can take your music from room to room. Integrated handle included.
Clock with Alarm Helps you rest assured that you'll wake on time.
Wireless Remote Control Gives you control from up to 30 feet (10 meters) away, and it stores neatly in an integrated compartment.

Customer Reviews:
speakers are always on and produce hissing noiseOctober 9, 2008 6 out of 8 found this review helpful
First of all, build & sound quality are very good.
But oh boy here it comes, you can't turn it off "completely". Since I use it next to my bed the hissing noice from the speakers drive me crazy. It's that sound when you turn your stereo on without playing a song and turn the volume high up. But here, even if you turn the volume down to zero it still makes that noise (which btw doesn't make any sense if you want to be waken by your ipod). The more volume you preselect the higher the background hiss.
Who can sleep next to a machine like that? Plus, have you thought about the power consumption when the speakers are on 24/7?
My guess is that Logitech will have to take this product off the shelves again, since it seems as if it's an engineering problem. Just unacceptable.
Simple, black, and niceOctober 6, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was looking for a device with a clock which would also charge my iPhone/iPod as well as play my tunes as I fall asleep. I did a little bit of research online and came to like this Logitech device. The other day I went to buy one online and several popular online retailers were sold out, which seemed like a good sign for me. I was in a store the other day and went ahead and bought one.
First of all, I love electronic devices with knobs rather than tons of buttons, so this one had a head start in making me happy. The LED clock looks nice, that's another plus for me. The overall design is pretty ok. I mean, it looks really nice in a picture, but I'm constantly disappointed with the mega-plastic form factor of this and every other product these days. That said, this product pretty much does what it says--it plays your iPhone or iPod's music, keeps it charged, and has an alarm clock.
One of my disappointments is the lack of functionality with the remote control. You can increase/decrease the volume, fast forward/reverse the tracks, and specify continuous play or random. I'm not a big playlist kinda guy, I'm an album guy, so there's a small gap of control missing for me. The alarm sound isn't my cup of tea either, but isn't too big of a deal since my iPhone's alarm chime will play through the speaker and suits me just fine.
The quality of sound is good enough for an alarm clock kinda thing. They have some press pictures of taking this thing to the park. I doubt the sound is robust enough to satisfy that environment, but again, that doesn't bother me personally.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. Go ahead and get one already!
