Creative D100 - Mobile Speaker System
What is required for a good picnic? Kebab (fish, meat, vegetable), cheerful company, good mood, good weather and cool music. When the meeting takes place in the country - there are few problems, a socket is nearby, any system will delight with high-quality sound. Car trips also involve the danger of planting a battery. How to solve the rebus? Wireless autonomous acoustics - our choice for a picnic. Creative D100 has long been on the market, but the column came into my hands just now.
The delivery package is modest and sufficient: in addition to a column, you can find a power adapter and several brochures in a cardboard box. Little? But why more, what else is needed for the speaker system? Is it only a small remote control that can adjust the volume, but given the fact that the source of the music is an MP3 player or smartphone - the volume can also be adjusted using software tools.

The design of the column is simple and attractive. Creative produces 4 variants of the D100 - completely black (black plastic and black fabric), blue, red and green (white plastic and colored fabric). In my hands was the green version.
The fabric has a pleasant shade, but one unpleasant feature. Any contact with dirty hands leaves a noticeable mark on the surface, which means you should be especially careful on the kebabs. In fairness, I note that this does not apply to the plastic case, it is made of slightly rough plastic and therefore does not touch the disadvantages of glossy surfaces.
Dimensions D100 make it easy to carry it with you without additional difficulties. The column will fit in a backpack or plastic bag and even a preschooler can carry it.
On the front panel is not observed a large number of controls. A thin white plastic strip bears the Creative logo, a Bluetooth button and two volume buttons.
The reverse side sheltered a phase inverter, a socket for connecting a power source, a power button and a linear input.
Bottom is a compartment for batteries or rechargeable batteries. Food is carried out from 4 elements like AA. The stated lifetime of a set of batteries is 20 hours. In reality, Chinese-made batteries with a capacity of 2500 mAh worked more than a day.
To connect the speakers to the phone or player, you need to hold the Bluetooth button for a few seconds, then the indicator flashes and Creative D100 appears in the device list on the phone. Password or any tricks are required.
Manufacturer's stated specifications:
• Frequency range - from 20 Hz to 20 kHz
• Signal-to-noise ratio - more than 80 dB
I will not argue with respected engineers, I will say this: my speaker sings even at full volume without wheezing. Surely there are more advanced speakers, but let's remember the main purpose of the Creative D100 speakers.
Final thoughts and conclusion.
Creative D100 does not claim leadership in the Hi-Fi segment, it is a mobile speaker for those who love outdoor activities and constantly listen to their favorite music. It is a pleasure to take out such a system to nature, because it does not require any wires or a power adapter. Two sets of batteries will provide power for the whole weekend, and any person from the company with a phone that supports Bluetooth can be a DJ. Now Creative D100 is not even unloaded from the trunk of my car.
UPD. The price of the device is about 2100 rubles or about 70 USD
