Overall Product Recommendation
The overall product recommendation between the Creative D100 and the JBL Flip is awarded to the Creative D100. While the JBL Flip has two more color options than the Creative D100, the Creative D100 has an advantage on how it’s powered and how long it can play continuous music.
The Creative D100 is powered by four AA batteries and, with fresh batteries, can run for a continuous 25 hours of non-stop music. This makes bringing the Creative D100 to a party easy and hassle free. And, if your party happens to run longer than 25 hours, or you forget to put in fresh batteries, it is simple to change. No recharging is required!
