Pure Contour 200i Air : Angle

The AirPlay-enabled Pure Contour 200i Air, at $269 (list), seems like such a bargain—it's one of the least expensive AirPlay systems we've seen. Unfortunately, its audio performance is less than stellar and it suffers from distortion at top volume levels on a variety of music styles.

Pure Contour 200i Air : Front

Measuring 9 by 14 by 7.5 inches, the 220i Air is a rounded, half-oval-shaped speaker adorned with the now-familiar black speaker grille cloth and metallic accents that Apple seems to demand, or at least encourage, for most AirPlay-enabled speaker systems.

Pure Contour 200i Air : Right

A metallic panel along the top edge houses a Power button on the left side, with Volume and Mute controls on the right.

Pure Contour 200i Air : Left

Behind the grille, two 18-watt, full-range 3.5-inch drivers, with downward-firing bass ports, deliver the audio. Unlike some AirPlay speaker options, the Contour 200i Air also includes an Apple 30-pin docking tray for connected, direct-from-device playback.

Pure Contour 200i Air : Back

The majority of the back panel is covered in a black, rubberized material, with connections at the bottom for the included power adapter, a 3.5mm Aux input, Ethernet, and a digital coaxial audio output.
