Pure Contour 200i Air goes on sale and AQ Smart goes on pre-order

The wait is finally over when it comes to the Pure Contour 200i Air speaker dock as it goes into wider retail here in the UK, including with John Lewis, Currys and PC World, retailing at just under £200.

Pure's first AirPlay follows in the footsteps of already successful iPod speaker docks in the Contour range, and at this price tag could well turn out to be the budget Airplay speaker of choice for many out there.

AQ Audio is also hoping to carve themselves a niche in the budget AirPlay speaker market as their first Airplay speaker in the AQ Smart finally goes on pre-order through their website. It has taken them a while since it was first announced, but hopefully it will be worth the wait. The price tag is set at £199.95.

Pure goes AirPlay with Contour 200i Air

Fans of Pure Contour speaker docks will be happy to hear that the company is ready with their first ever AirPlay speaker dock; the Pure Contour 200i Air.

The Contour 200i Air is however not all about AirPlay streaming as it also comes with docking station that supports docking and charging of all iOS devices, including the iPad.

With DSP audio amplifiers, dual 3.5-inch full range drivers, 35w power output (RMS), dedicated app, and a suggested retail price around £199 this could become a popular option in a growing AirPlay speaker market.

Hoping to be back with more information on the Pure Contour 200i Air, including UK release date soon.
