Do the Speakers need to be charged to play music? Im looking for a basic portable speaker that doesn't need to be charged or need batteries to work

Yes, but easily holds a charge for 2 days with heavy use, probably a week with lighter use. A speaker that pulls energy from your device is going to make you need to charge the device more often, even ear buds. These little speakers put out a relatively big sound for their tiny size, they don't need to drain your MP3 player in the process.

Yes, the speakers need to be charged up from your computer, then they can be used for about 18 hours before needing a recharge.

What electronic item in the world exists that doesn't need either a charge or batteries for power, but is portable? �

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.

This model doesn't have a battery option. It is also portable, but not light by any means. It is a great speaker and has bluetooth capability or you can dock you iPhone or iPod directly into the system and it will charge. I suppose you could use an extension cord to take it outside, but keep in mind it does weight 18.5lbs. I hope this helps. I love this speaker!

You will need fresh batteries ... I was real happy with mine for awhile, then it quit working, either a short somewhere, or blown speaker.. I never had it up loud enough to blow a speaker but that is what it sounds like ..

I use the player in the kitchen and leave it plugged in so I don't need to charge it often. It takes about an hour to charge. It is a great little machine. I bought a small iHome speaker to get better sound.

The speakers are powered by 110v house current, or it also has provision for batteries (that I have never used). They work well on house current.

This is not a battery operated speaker. It has a power cord so that you can plug in your wall outlet. Since you want to use it in a stationnary place (I do too), this would be ideal for you. The sound is very good for its size (very nice mid-range and good bass but the high could be a little better).

I was able to play music on a USB flash drive when running from the battery. If I plugged it in, the music would not play. However, I can play music on a MicroSD card when the speaker is plugged in or running on the battery. We use it to play calming music for our dogs when we are out of town, so being able to have the speaker play while plugged in was important.I hope that answers your question.

It's not a charger. The speakers use a micro USB plug to charge and have to be plugged in via standard USB. Your device has to be charged separately. The speakers are loud for their size though, with great range

Hello John. The speakers have a standard, stereo, micro-plug. Yes they need to be plugged into household current and are equipped with the necessary power converter.

I have not used the speakers in a while, but as far as I remember they do not come with a wall charger. They could only be plugged into USB for charging. Thus I always plug them into my USB and headphone jack if I am using them with the laptop. I use the headphone jack alone when I use these for my Ipod. Hope I answered your question.....

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

Plug the speaker into a USB port charger or computer. Takes a relative short time to charge. I really enjoy the speakers.

You can play music when you plug in the micro usb, but it neither charge the battery nor use the battery it will worked like you take out the battery of your laptop and plug in your charger. It could work, but it won't charge any power

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.

Yeah! So I've plugged mine in for a power source, but it takes batteries.However, it doesn't have a speaker/amp so you'd need to orchestrate a way to do that

Yes. This does this exactly, at least when plugged in. I'm not sure if it can charge when it is playing from batteries. Surprisingly good sound although the stereo gets lost as speakers are too close together. But for the price, I think it's a good deal. I really like it. Have had it almost two months.
