Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Given this is the first review, I will be thorough.
I've owned the Creative D100 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker for two months (paid $78.47).I'm very pleased.The sound quality is excellent for this type of speaker.The volume is loud enough to completely fill a room or a small outdoor area (e.g., patio).I've enjoyed it on the beach and found quality does not suffer much at high volumes.
Like with any small speaker, if you crank it to max volume, there is some distortion on bass-heavy songs.But the distortion is slight, and the bass sounds great if you have the volume appropriately set for the type of audio you are streaming.
On that note, there is no remote.The only way to control the volume is the `volume up' and `volume down' buttons on the front of the speaker or directly from streaming device ONLY IF it allows it.That is, my iPhone (3G - iOS 3.1.3) CANNOT change the speaker's volume while streaming, but my laptop can.In my use, I have not needed a remote.Usually I directly set the speaker's volume for the environment (e.g., bathroom, patio) and forget it.No remote also means you must control the streaming media from your device.There are no media control buttons on the speaker.
There is an auxiliary input on the back of the speaker, if you want to hook up a non-bluetooth device, or maybe just to save battery by not using Bluetooth.
Pairing with Bluetooth-capable devices (in my case, iPhone 3G and HP laptop) is simple and quick.
Battery life (four AA) is excellent.It is so long I cannot even put an estimate in terms of hours.It also came with an AC adapter, but I have never used it.The battery compartment is underneath the speaker.
The speaker is fairly small and very light.I actually carry it from room-to-room to enjoy while I am doing chores.
My only concern with the speaker is the build quality.The plastic casing is sturdy, but the front face of the speaker (surrounding the name plate and volume controls) is made of cloth.The cloth is spongy, but I am worried that it will inevitably tear with my heavy use of the speaker.There is no travel case included with the speaker.
Looking for a portable Bluetooth wireless speaker, I also considered the Logitech Z515 ($90, smaller and cloth-free).I've never used that Logitech speaker, but I ultimately chose the Creative D100 based on superior reviews for sound quality and bass quality.Look into both.There are good reviews for them and a comparison on CNET, if you want more information.

Volume up button
Volume down button

On the back of the speaker:
