Can you use this speaker while it is charging (i.e. plugged into a laptop via USB or wall-charger)?

yes, you can......however I notice a buzzing sound when its plugged in. charging is so quick that keeping plugged in is unnecessary

I no longer own this speaker as I have sent it back because the bluetooth stopped working.

It cannot be used while charging. It charges by plugging it into your computer or power source using a micro USB wire.

Yes you can use it while it is charging .When I get the low battery tone, I plug it in, power it up and it reconnects with my phone while it charges.The light turns red while charging and green when fully charged.

I suspect not as the speaker works exclusively with Bluetooth enabled devices. Unless your laptop is equipped with Bluetooth, this will not work.

I have not tried that but I know it only takes a short time to charge. It's a great speaker!

You can use it while charging ,I have not tried to connect it to anything but my cell phone.

yes. it will most certainly work while plugged in and charging. Usually, while I have it hooked into a laptop, I keep the power hooked up too so that it stays charged. It will also work with a usb wall charger and any audio source.

I've used it while it's charging. The cord is a pain while it's plugged in. But yes you can.

You can plug it into the wall but you would need a adapter part like the one that you use for your phone charger. The speakers come with a usb cord so that you can plug them into a computer for power, but if you plan on just plugging them into the wall like I did just use an old cell phone wall charger (the part the cord plugs into that is). Hope this helps!

I saw some of the responses and they say it does not work while charging... In my review video I demonstrate that it does... Just to make sure I just tried it right now and it does... :(.I charged it with an external battery pack while using bluetooth from my laptop to my speakers. End: It works! :)

Yes you can connect to the speaker and play music as you normally would while the speaker is charging.

Come with a USB cord to charge. I don't think it can connect and play audio via the USB. If your laptop has Bluetooth you could easily connect that way.

Should be able to, just plug in headphones instead of speaker while charging.

It can not be charged in the wall. I charge my speaker through my iPad and and computer.

Yes you can. Mine charges fine, while also playing music. If you are asking whether the USB serves as a charger and audio input then no.

The CoolStream Portable speaker comes with a charging cable. One end is a standard USB connector and the other end is a barrel shaped connector that fits into the DC jack in the back of the speaker. You can charge the speaker by plugging the USB cable into your computer or an outlet charger that has a USB port. Yes, you can use the speaker while charging it.
