 Ok speaker for iPod/iPhone and FM, but AM radio is not working January 6, 2009
B. Schultz (New York United States)
The Pure-fi dream is working ok as speaker to the iPod/iPhone. Sound is ok, but not great. The fm reception is accetable. Easy to set two separate alarm, and easy to set what source to wake up to.
Charging works fine both iPod and iPhone 3G.
Remote is cheesy but works, direct access to all functions.
Two Defects or possibly bugs
What does not work is the AM reception. there is a interference with the display that destroys all listining. Tried too nove the cable and the power unit in different locations but nothing makes it useful.
The sleep timer only works some times appears to work at 5 min and 10 min may work but 15min appears to never sleep. this is with and without the iphone / ipod
 Excellent System for iPhone 3G! December 27, 2008
andorukuraku (savannah, ga)
This speaker system has excellent sound. Although it wasn't a perfect test environment, I can safely say that this system sounds tremendously better than many of the other options available. The iHome systems do not sound anywhere near this quality. The Bose system might sound only slightly better, which was a total surprise; the Bose is also $100 more, has no radio, and has no alarm clock functions. The clock radio functions were really an after thought to me, but I must say I am very happy to get rid of the old alarm clock radio and have one device that does both.
Pros: sound quality, sensor functions for snooze and lighting up controls in the dark, autodimming features (that respond to the conditions in the room), remote, iPhone compatibility (no annoying sounds, charges immediately, recognizes iPhone immediately, etc.). Set up is also quite simple, with the controls being fairly intuitive.
Cons: I think the price point was a bit high at $199, although I have seen it cheaper since.
It DOES charge the new iPhone 3G December 21, 2008
Dr. John A. Hamel V (Kensington, MD USA)

I am using this product as my clock radio and iPhone 3G charging station on my night table in a master bedroom. This clock radio replaces an iLuv i177 iPod clock radio which I have had for over 2 years. The main reason that I upgraded to this Logitech clock radio is due to its ability to charge the new iPhone 3G which I recently purchased.
This is by far the best clock radio I have owned. Although not perfect for everyone's taste, in my humble opinion, it is the best compromise in quality, functionality, and price available in the US market as of today.
Compatibility with iPhone 3G: I read some reviews about the inability to charge the new iPhone 3G. I contacted Logitech via email, and they explained that there were some previous firmware issues in the past, but that this is no longer an issue. (By the way, Logitech customer support was superb at replying back to me promptly, answering all of my specific questions, and even followed up days later to assess my level of satisfaction with their responses). After using the product with the new iPhone 3G, these are the facts: I does, in fact, charge the new iPhone 3G. However, you need to make sure that it is well seated in the cradle. If the iPhone is not well seated, there is a possibility that the iPhone music will play via the speakers, but no actual charging takes place. I make sure to seat the iPhone in the cradle until I see the iPhone charging icon on the top right corner of the display show up. The other fact to keep in mind is that on initial seating the iPhone in the cradle, the iPhone will display the message, "This accessory is not compatible, would you like to turn on Airplane Mode?". Just press "NO" on the iPhone, and everything will work just fine. It is somewhat annoying that this message comes on every time you place the iPhone in the cradle, but rest assured that after pressing "NO", there will not be any more compatibility issues.
Alarm clock: It has 2 alarms that can be independently set to wake up to either iPhone/iPod, FM, AM, or buzzer. The volume can also be preset, something my wife appreciates. Reliability of the alarm is also great as there is a 9v battery backup for the clock and the alarm settings in case of a power failure.
Presets: This is a great feature. For unclear reasons, lots of iPod/iPhone compatible alarm clocks do not include presets. Well, this alarm clock does. It has 6 preset buttons. What's more, the presets work with each mode (iPod/iPhone, FM, AM), so it is like having 3x6=18 presets total.
Sound quality: This product is not meant to be the soul music source for a college fraternity party or home theater system. However, for non teenagers, the loudness and quality is more than acceptable for a bedroom, kitchen, or other rooms of similar size. I normally listen at low to low- medium level, and I am very satisfied with the sound quality. At higher sound levels, I do not appreciate any significant distortion, but I confess that I am not the best person to compare and review products at ear damaging sound levels.
Recessed iPod/iPhone cradle: Ergonomically, this is a great design. Most other iPod/iPhone clock radios have the iPod/iPod cradle on the very top of the system. The problem with that design is that the iPod/iPhone is more exposed to knocking, especially as you are trying to press the snooze button when you wake up and find yourself all disoriented. The recessed iPhone/iPod cradle design make knocking much less likely. On the topic of the snooze button, with this clock radio you do not have to press the snooze button to go on snooze. You merely need to wave your hand over the motion sensor. Now, that is really cool!
Intelligent lighting: This is a pretty neat feature. By merely waving the hand over the motion sensor, all of the buttons will light up, so that you do not have to turn the room lights on to set the alarm, or turn on the radio, etc. By the way, the remote control also has lights on its buttons (no motion sensor on it, though).
Auxiliary Input: I have not used this, nor do I intend to in the near future, but is does have one. This, to me, is a testament on the level of thought that was put into the designing and making of this product.
This cool features, as well as the intuitive operation design, makes this product earn 5 solid stars.
Better than I expected December 15, 2008
I. Segovia (New Jersey)
I bought this dock with little expectations, but with the hope that it would better than what reviews I've read have to say about it. Far from reality, I must say they sound great, they do their job in the alarm clock department and I honestly think that the features and ease of use make this dock very recommendable, specially now that is a little lower in price. The orange lighting and the motion sensor make it super cool to put on your night stand, the only big backward I see is the size of the AC adaptor which is literally bigger and heavier than a brick.
Overall, I'm happy with it and I intend to keep an eye on next iterations of the product as well, because Logitech is starting to do things right with their iPod docks.
Great sound, but not really compatible with the iPhone November 27, 2008
Roglio (Emeryville, CA United States)
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
I love the sound, but when I connect my iPhone 3g, it doesn't really charge the phone. It was plugged in all night and never finished charging. Also the phone often pops up with a warning - "this device not compatible with iPhone, do you want to use Airplane mode?" It's pretty annoying. While it says on the box it's compatible, I think the compatibility is only marginal. It's too bad, because the sound is pretty good. I will be taking it back today.
