Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2

With little fanfare Logitech has released a Mk2 version of its award-winning iPod dock. The big difference is that it's now 'works with iPhone'-certified.

The previous 'Tech needed to be switched to 'Airplane' mode to avoid electrical interference, which didn't let you receive calls. The hard carry case is now a softer bag but elsewhere, much is the same.

The speaker dock still cuts a sharp appearance and feels solidly built.

The dock comes with the usual array of connectors for the full spectrum of iPods, while there's a remote that gives you total control of your tunes.

Sonically, it still delivers an impressively large sound for such a small device, and it goes pretty loud, too.

All the vital components of good quality sound are here - no mean feat for a $280 iPod dock - ensuring plenty of detail is uncovered, plus there's punch and weight and impressive dynamics.

This remains an excellent proposition and simply the best value option all-round if you're in the market for an iPod speaker dock at this price-point.
