Can this speaker be used while it is charging ? Say it's connected to my laptop via the charging cable as well as the audio out connector...

It should. I use mine while I have it charging with a portable charger via USB. While I play music with Bluetooth connected.

No. The speaker gets its power from the USB port on your computer or player. (It also gets the sound from that port.)

If you are referring to the 3.5 mm audio jack cord between the speaker and your phone, then I would say no. The speaker charges with a USB to USB connection. There are no other USB ports on the speaker. Usually a phone needs a USB input to charge. You can buy a dual USB charger so that the speaker and phone can charge at the same time, available on Amazon!

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

The speaker comes with a charging cable (not a charging device). The cable is USB at one end and a 'pin' type connector at the other (speaker) end. The cable is NOT USB to micro USB. Lose the cable and you are screwed...

I believe so, though I have not tried it yet... it seems that, anymore, nearly all devices will work while charging. sorry I could not be more sure! It is an awesome little speaker with BIG sound! Especially on Styrofoam or cardboard!

It will start making a warning tone. The first time it happened to me I didn't realize it was the speaker, I thought my phone was broken. You can use the speaker while its being charged. I charge my speaker on e a week, while driving, and it usually always last for the 7 days without a recharge.

In my experience, the USB is only used for charging. The speaker cable is used for the audio.

I have not used it as a speaker with my laptop but have connected it to download my music to the micro sd card. The sound is amazing for such a small speaker and it plays for a long time before it needs to be recharged. I know it connects to a cell phone that is a fair distance away but I did not see how far away it would still connect. 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, it can be used while charging. The only way you can charge it is through USB.

This is a wireless Bluetooth device, which means a Bluetooth capable device is needed in order to send signals to it. I believe there are Bluetooth adapters which you could use to upgrade your laptop, in order to use it with other Bluetooth devices. You CAN charge the speaker by plugging it into your laptop's USB port, but this is not how the speaker receives the data/sound that it plays wirelessly through the speaker.

No, it can not be used to charge other devices. It has a USB "in" (micro) connection that is only used to charge the speaker itself.

Instructions say to leave it on. You may use the speaker while it is charging.

Yes, it still works while charging. I tried this out with a travel charger in my car. I had my iPhone connected to it playing music through my car stereo; all while the device was being charged.

If you want ot use as a computer speaker, as Brian said, Get a 1/8" male to male audio cable and hook one end to the laptop/PC's headphone or audio jack to the AUX of the speaker. Problem solved. Using USB may work, but I'd think of other options first, as the USB port on this device sends voltage out, as well as the USB port on your computer would, thats like pluging an outlet into an outlet....could have disastrous results..... Come "next door" if you have any other questions.

Hi, Yes you can use the speaker while it is plugged into a charging source.
