I'm looking at this red T12 model as well... so which is it? yes or no? Why is it a question on Amazon can't ever get answered w/o conflicting answers? Not that it matters much if this thing really has 12 hours of battery life.....Well I just received mine actually, 3-4 days after posting this comment, and I can tell you for certain that Urban Geeks has no clue wtf he's talking about. They WILL play while it's plugged in. I dont' know if the battery really lasts 12 hours but why you would be playing this longer then that is beyond me...... by the way, check out my review I just posted. These things are a lot better then you'd expect. I'm looking at this red T12 model as well... so which is it? yes or no?

I don't have this exact model, but my Etekcity speaker works while it is charging, so this one should, too.

I do this a lot! I have never checked the time a charge last but the speaker holds a good charge. I have never run out of charge time. I use my mine all the time around the house and have one for my car.

Yes, you are able to use the phone while it charges. It is similar to being able to use the phone when charging with an Apple cord.

You can not use them while they are charging. The charger goes into the phone jack. You cannot monitor them either. They are silent when charging whether they are on or off.

The user manual clearly states under Usage Tips: "To protect the circuit of the speaker and the long-term performance of the battery, please do not use the speaker to play music while charging." YMMV.

Sure can! Still, you can still use the speaker even after the batter has pooped out. Just plug it in to USB charger and there ya go.

I have only ever used the speakers while it was plugged into my Nook, & the Nook was plugged into power so the speakers were not running off the battery. But I can tell you that they both are charged a the same time on one plug. Hope this helps!

Yes, it can be used while charging. The only way you can charge it is through USB.

Yes you may use it as it is charging. We love the CANZ you would never believe such good sound from such a small speaker.

If you're asking about a charging dock built in to the speakers, there isn't one. You can't physically connect your phone to the speakers without your charging cable, but there's a slot to rest your phone while it's playing music over Bluetooth. There's 3 USB ports on the speakers so you could theoretically charge multiple devices at once

Yes you can use this while charging. Depending on the volume, this will result in some static/noise, but I've only experienced this turning it all the way up just to see if there was noise from charging.

Yes it will work while being charged. I haven't tried leaving it connected all of the time because the battery life is pretty good. There is a power switch. The speaker is very easy to connect and use.

The only source of power is the micro usb cable (you can plug the usb adapter in to the wall and charge it, if that's what you mean). And they will not play while charging.

Hi, Pat, The speaker does work while it is plugged in and being charged. I haven't tried to charge my cell phone from the USB port on the speaker yet, so can't answer that question. Overall, a great little speaker, especially considering it's priced under $50.00.

Yes. Unless the charger is weak ( no usb charger comes in the speaker box. You have to use an external USB charger)

You can use the headphones while charging. I have not experience any problems while doing it.

No. You can plug in your speaker to recharge it and then play your device. It can only be charge thru the plug in charger.

Hey there... Yes, you can use it while it's connected to the power outlet. It doesn't have a dock station.-
