My new toy; Creative D100 Wireless Bluetooth Speakers

[Schot 407]

 

Well I just have to post about this lil baby. I saw this in a flyer a few weeks ago and thought it could be a great sound option for the kitchen while cooking and whatnot. It was only yesterday that I finally got around to picking one up and at about 60 bucks this speaker system is a steal. What I love most about it is how simple it is. Just three small buttons on the front for Bluetooth pairing mode with my Itouch and volume buttons although I just set the volume to maximum and then control volume via my Itouch. On the back it has an auxiliary in jack, power adapter jack and on/off switch. But the coolest part is all about battery power. 4 AA batteries is all it takes and runs amazingly well on just that. At first I thought I'd never use batteries because, honestly, how long could batteries possibly last in this? Well... I can tell you now a veeeeeery long time! I'm presently trying to drain them completely and their holding out strong. I ran it for several hours yesterday and today it's been running non stop since 10am. So far about 10 hours at about 70% volume. Even better is that I'm using rechargeables. Shame the power adapter/speakers can't recharge batteries but that's ok, I've got a recharger.

 

As for the sound it's excellent for a compact speaker box. Excellent highs and lows. Waaaay better than I expected in terms of sound. For me what really makes this a boon is it's ability to be a truly wireless unit. A lot of sound systems that claim to be wireless are often only meaning that sound is transmitted wirelessly but that you'd still have to plug in a power outlet. With this baby I can move it from room to room without even interupting the music or concerning myself with wires.

 

 

Really great "sound anywhere" option in my opinion.

It's VERY cool technology. Being able to make an isolated object, a portable thing like this, start radiating loud volume is like magic. When I first saw it I kinda guffawed did the whole eye rolling, here we go with technology thing again...but the single speaker is pretty decent with the quality it's convenience just can't be beat.
