    Logitech's intuitively designed, good-looking, and excellent-sounding Pure-Fi Dream leads the pack in alarm clock/iPod docks. Read more

    • Powerful speakers. Strong bass response. Rarely distorts. Easy-to-set alarms. Useful, backlit remote. Motion-controlled snooze feature.
    • Works with iPhone, but not as gracefully as other docks. No video out.

    Some might say that Pure-Fi Dream’s problem is that it tries to do a little too much. Viewed as a pure rival for the SoundDock, and released last year minus the alarm clock functionality at a lower price, it might have made sense. But at this point in time, there are so many $150-$200 iPod speaker systems out there with similar body shapes and speaker configurations that Dream’s only standout features are ones that don’t really appeal to us; the shape, clock, and...

    Logitech's Pure-Fi Dream is one of the stronger entries in the crowded iPod clock radio category. Read more

    • Stylish-looking and solidly built AM/FM iPod/iPhone clock radio; motion-controlled snooze mode; decent sound for a compact system; presets for radio stations and iPod ...
    • Display is a little small; remote only offers basic control over your iPod; giant power supply.

    Here we have a few shots of the system tuned into a local radio station as well as using my iPhone. When using the radio, you can adjust the screen to display the radio station, time or graphic equalizer. The system also supports RDS (Radio Data System). Many radio stations broadcast RDS information which includes the station call letters and other text information such as the current song. Read more

    A terrific iPod speaker system, and one of our new favourites for the bedroom. It's got a great design and build, excellent sound quality and it's intuitive and easy to use. What more could you want from a system like this? Read more

    • Sound quality, Design and build, Very easy to use, Great LCD screen, Intuitive controls, 9V backup battery integration
    • No headphone socket for radio use, Deep bass isn't handled well

    The price means it’s not for everyone, but if the Pure-Fi Dream's plentiful mix of features and impressive sound quality are the answer to your prayers, you won't be disappointed. Read more

  1. Deceptive looks

    I was pretty impressed by the earlier reviews for this set of speakers + dock from logitech. Unfortunately, i found that the sound quality was very poor if you want to listen to loud music in your room. My 3 year old pure-fi express2 set is much much better in terms of sound and bass. Also, the ipod dock did not charge my ipod touch, and as a result i had to return this product in a day. Read more

    I chose this after trying a couple of other models that sounded great but didn't have the features I wanted.It seemed like a bargain, turned out not to be, and I would have sent it back except for the fact that it almost did what I wanted it to and I thought I could live with the shortcomings. I will soon junk it and get something new. The Pure-Fi Dream is a truly eccentric product that regularly fails to do what you what you think you set it to do. Read more

    • Great sound from FM or iPod: rich, full, can easily fill a large bedroom, but sounds equally good when it's on low volume.
    • Flaky. Every control has a hair-trigger that makes it really easy to get the wrong setting. Only plays wake to iPod in shuffle mode (usually within a given song list, ...

  3. Could be more polished in performance

    I totally agree with the previous reviewer. The product is well built - very heavy and the sound is really good - the reason I bought it. However, the transformer really buzzes - I notice it at night which is annoying to say the least - I stuck it behind the cabinet covered in acoustic foam with a little aeration so it doesn't overheat. The unit also resets itself to default evey two weeks when attaching my iphone - wierd, but quick enough to sort out with three clicks. Read more

    • Great sound, quite compact, best alarm clock I've ever had!
    • Speakers take a while to turn on
