Pure Contour 200i Air

 

As AirPlay, Apple's wireless audio streaming feature, finds its way into more speaker systems, one trend is beginning to come into focus: These systems aren't cheap. That's why the AirPlay-enabled Pure Contour 200i Air, at $269 (list), seems like such...

Streams wireless audio from Apple iOS devices via AirPlay. Decent audio quality at moderate volumes. Streamlined Wi-Fi setup process. Dock included for non-wireless playback from iOS devices

Distorts at top volumes on a wide variety of music. Often cuts off the beginnings of tracks. Poorly written manuals

The AirPlay-enabled Pure Contour 200i Air's tendency to distort at high volumes makes its low price less of a bargain.

Pure Contour 200i Air review

 

With the Pure Contour 200i Air, the British company intends you to make use of its Lounge platform, combined with Apple AirPlay and your iDevice

Easy setup ; Great sound quality ; Affordable price-tag

No radio ; No EQ options ; No LCD

The Pure Contour 200i Air is a great AirPlay enabled docking system that is light on features, but heavy on performance. Pound-for-pound performance that is as, at less than £200, the 200i has a sound quality that far exceeds its modest price-tag.

Pure's unusual-looking dock offers wireless music beaming for both iPads and iPhones

Effortless AirPlay audio playback, but the sound is too heavy for our liking
