Hello, is it correct to call this wireless if it has to be plugged in to use? Or is it truly wireless?

Chris: If you want truly wireless,get the Bose(batteries only).This one is A/C only for power.

It is wireless on the sense that you can connect a Bluetooth enabled device to the unit without wires. In does, however, require a power cord to operate and an audio out cable to operate as a pass through device connected to a larger stereo or home theater. For a truly wireless option look at the Big Blue Live which has a rechargeable power source and will work truly wireless for about 4 hours at max volume. I have one and I like it too.

Regarding the audio connection, you can go with Bluetooth, which is wireless. Or the normal 3mm audio plug (not wireless). Regarding power, the unit must be plugged into a electrical socket, there is no battery.

It's wireless...connected by BlueTooth. It can also be plugged in through a 3.5mm jack (the one in all iPhones). We ended up having to return ours to our local Brookstone. They replaced it after some hassle. The wired connection never worked in the one we returned, we haven't yet tried the wired connection in our new one. All and all, I would not buy this. The first one was a disaster and even now, it's not great. The sound quality is alright, but you have to pair your device every time you use it (when using Bluetooth).

No it's strictly plug in. If that's not a showstopper, then I would recommend it. I use it frequently!

Wireless implies that it's not "hard wired" to the internet. It receives signal via WIFI. The cable shown is. USB cable used to power and program the units.

As long as it is hooked up to your wifi it can be used in wireless mode. You can also hook it up to your router or through a USB connection.

It is not wireless. This is a corded phone. You plug it to a phone cord. If you have an extra phone cord to plug it into then it will work. It won't pick up wirelessly. You don't use electricity with this. You use the phone jack.

It can be on a wireless network. but NO it is not setup by itself to be wireless.In other words it must be hardwired USB to one of the computers on the network and then shared to the others on the network.

Haven't tried using it as a plug in.. got it because it was wireless. It has its own WiFi address so you don't need to be connected to another wifi. Draw back is you can only be connected to one wifi at a time connection at a time. So in that case a USB plug in option would be good.

It needs to be connected via the power adapter. It is wireless as in WiFi. A3 is the one that is truly wireless.

It can be plugged in. I leave it plugged in in my office and only use it as a tablet when using it in other rooms or on the go.

Yes. It is not wireless. It needs to be wired. You simply call your electrician and he wires it up.
