Like the rest of Logitech's range of Pure-Fi products, the Pure-Fi Express Plus is built to a high standard. It's an iPod dock and alarm clock that doesn't have a complicated interface. For a casual listener or traveller it's a good choice.

Omnidirectional speakers work well; easy interface and iPod control

No rechargeable battery; no radio; distortion at full volume

The company's Pure-Fi Express Plus rolls in around $100 and it's designed to be a simple, compact stereo speaker with a built-in clock and alarm that can be used at home or taken on the road, so long as you're willing to splurge on a set of six AA batteries that power the unit when you cut the cord.

The Pure-Fi Express joins Logitech's range of speaker systems that complement the ubiquitous iPod. This product includes a protective case, and the dock runs on batteries, as well as mains, so is clearly geared at those wishing to share their little Apple portable's tunes wherever they go.

Well-balanced sound; takes batteries; relatively portable

Lacks the composure and presence of bigger MP3 speaker systems

While it won't exactly stop the presses, the Logitech Pure-Fi Express is a compact speaker system that is ideally suited for your MP3 player. This device is easily carted from home to office, especially because of its travel-friendly carrying case.

Understated design with a small desktop footprint; Sounds decent at low volumes; Includes some handy extras; such as a padded case; a wireless remote and a line-in cable

Too boxy to be considered truly travel-friendly; Lacking in bass; Audio quality is subpar at high volumes

If soul music legend Barry White (regarded as the ‘Sultan of Smooth Soul') had to have had a speaker dock when he was alive, he would most probably have bought Logitech's Pure-Fi Express Plus.

Can't produce very loud audio; alarm can't be set to play music and lacks a snooze button; no radio

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Adds Functionality; Durable; Easy to Set Up; Fits Well; Lightweight; Stylish

The Logitech Pure-Fi Express Plus is about as basic as iPod speakers get, though it does have a built-in alarm clock. At just under $100, we think the Express Plus sounds impressive for the money, and makes for a decent accessory either indoors or outside.

Built-in alarm clock; Runs on batteries or AC power; Easy to use; Omnidirectional sound gives more placement options

No built-in rechargeable battery; iPodiPhone doesnt charge while speaker runs on battery power; No built-in radio; Remote doesnt navigate iPod

In an overstuffed iPod dock/alarm clock market, Logitech isn't short of options. The bare-bones Pure-Fi Express Plus sounds okay, but it lacks some commonplace features like an AM/FM tuner and the ability to wake you to your iPod tunes.

Affordable; Decent sound for the price; Intuitive controls

Distortion at high volumes; No AM/FM tuner; Remote offers limited iPod navigation, no alarm controls; Alarm can't use iPod's music to wake you
