Porterable Bluetooth speaker by Pure Audio boasts an ambient lighting system for an enhanced artistic flair during audio playback
The Pure Classic Aura, a portable Bluetooth speaker from Pure Audio, is making waves in the market with its unique design and features. Available in three colourways - Coffee Brown with walnut accents, Cotton White paired with oak detailing, and Black Oak model - this speaker caters to a variety of aesthetic preferences.
You can purchase the Pure Classic Aura directly from Pure for £120. However, as of writing, there is no information regarding US or Australian launches for the Classic Aura.
The speaker boasts an ambient light system as part of its design, offering an eyes-only light show without music playback. It provides Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity for streaming from mobile devices and has an auxiliary input for wired connections. The Classic Aura also features multiple control buttons on the top of the unit and a carry handle for easy portability.
The Classic Aura's light system offers ten distinct lighting patterns designed for different listening scenarios, including Disco Beat, which synchronizes light pulses with music. It also has five gradient modes for softer illumination and four dynamic lighting effects. Interestingly, it has a 40W output and three equalizer presets, but the exact sound quality of the Classic Aura remains to be seen when compared to the best Bluetooth speakers tested.
The speaker is IPX2 waterproof and has a replaceable battery, ensuring durability and convenience. However, in comparison to top Bluetooth speakers of 2025 such as the Bose SoundLink Max and Plus, JBL Flip 6, Sony ULT Field 3 and 5, and Soundcore Boom 3i, the Classic Aura may not match their comprehensive feature sets, durability, or highly praised sound profiles. These leading models combine excellent audio performance with rugged, waterproof designs and user-friendly smart features.
In summary, the Pure Classic Aura offers a unique blend of traditional sound and modern lighting features, making it an appealing choice for those valuing aesthetic and ambient light shows. However, for those prioritizing advanced features, durability, and highly praised sound profiles, leading 2025 models from Bose, JBL, Sony, and Soundcore may be more competitive choices.
