Thanks for your question. This is portable and battery powered. This is a fantastic sounding speaker. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Polk dealer.

Yes it is. Here is an excerpt from the manufacturer's webpage: "Powerful, lightweight Lithium Ion Batteries play up to 24 hours at moderate levels on a full charge. They recharge quickly with the AC Adaptor (included)."

I'm not completely sure what you are asking. However, this speaker requires a corded power connection if that answers your question.

I answered 'yes' by mistake - it is not necessary, so there is no confusion. The speakers are self powered, you simply need to plug them in from the speaker with the power cord to a 110 outlet.

No, this is portable for in house and garden with outlets. It truly is powerful and not a bluetooth brick that, soundwise, can't compare.

No not very portable. Have to plug it in. It's too big to run on batteries. I use mine in the garage and in my yard. Sounds great tho..

From the phrasing of your question, I'm left a bit confused. But I think you are asking if these speakers can operate on a charged battery. If so, then no. No, the Microlab h21 speakers are not an alternative to portable Bluetooth speakers. They are bookshelf speakers, meant to be placed in the home. They must be plugged into an outlet to function.

No, you cannot. You need an external/portable speaker(s)! I gave the wrong answer at first, but then I double-checked and realized you cannot! I'm sorry for the original misinformation!:)

Yes, It can be used permanently plugged-in without overcharged. I've been using it that way for 2 years and the battery still works well when the speaker is unplugged.

Yes, thse speakers can put out some volume. There is an optional battery pack if outlets are an issue.

Yes, but we wouldn't recommend it. It is supposed to be portable, but it doesn't hold a charge. You'll have to keep it plugged in.

As mentioned, the speakers themselves are not powered wirelessly. They plug into standard wall sockets and there is no onboard power storage. That said, the AC adapter allows different plugs to be snapped into place so you can use foreign electrical outlets. Also, there is a power wire which runs about two feet between the speakers, so your speaker seperation will be limited by that much. The product pictures don't show any of these electrical wires, and they probably misled you into thinking they were mobile-ready. Read my review which discusses this problem.

It plugs in the wall. No battery. So not really portable but it is lightweight.

yes, it's portable since it has a battery option. this is oneawesome little speaker....surprising what rich sound canbe achieved from such a small unit. if you're lookingfor a terrific speaker at a very inexpensive price don'thesitate to grab this one....I listened to many speakersthat cost 2 to 3 times as much & they just didn't measure up to this little jewel.

You can leave the power cord connected to the speakers, but i recommend unplugging them from the power source after use. Especially for the price, you don't want them to mess up on you. But this is a great buy and with great customer service as well.

Yes. With the unit plugged in, it works like any other speaker. Charge the battery and you have the option to go cordless.

If the question is does the speaker still work while unplugged it does if it's charged. It is not an electric generator however.
