Unfortunately it's not rechargeable. It has to be plugged into wall. Doesn't have to be docked it's range is quite good. I can have dock in room and go into living room or kitchen and still listen or change music.

It's wireless via Bluetooth for playing music. You only have to plug it in if you want to charge it via the docking station. Has GREAT sound for its size, and it plays music on any device with Bluetooth.

Im sure what other model you refer to but, the charger that plugs into this dock CAN also be used to charge your phone. I have used it many times for that matter. It does not have an audio out function though.

Hi,It has built-in rechargeable battery.There is A/C cord, if your device is non_bluetooth enable, this A/C cord can help.Also there is Micro SD card slot, you can download the music into SD card, and insert the SD card, music comes.

It plays music and will accept calls while charging or not. I leave mine plugged in at all times.

simple answer is yes. this is not really a true dock. its connects any phone audio to 3.5mm and your can supply your own charger

no, but it works great. my only complaint is that when you dock your phone, it automatically turns music on, when all i want to do is charge it.

Yes, it does. I believe that the dock connection Apple already uses has a power connection to it, so I everytime you see one it is very likely it will charge your device.But sincerely, my mom bought this Jukebox and it was a total disappointment on my part, the sound is terrible although it's a bit stylish to some tastes. If you want to go for sound quality, my professor at my university uses Roland Acoustics to show us the consequences of certain digital filters, the sound quality of them seems unexpectedly high to me.

No. It has to be plugged in to charge. The dock is just a pass-through for the charging cable. It doesn't have a separate battery to store power. That would make it much more expensive.

The dock does not charge your device. It is simply a portable rechargeable speaker dock. It does, however, provide an opening that allows you to connect your charger from below the device.

I charge mines with the cell phone charger and it also came with an USB cord. Just use another wall charger port. I listen to music with mines as long as your phone is on bluetooth.

There is no dock, it is a blue tooth speaker. My phone just connects to it.

It's hit and miss for playing music, sometimes it plays on the docking station and sometimes it doesn't so I end up using the aux cable it comes with. The docking station never charges even if you get the music to play.

If you have an iPod on the dock (as shown in the images), it will charge the device. If you wish to play music without charging, you can use the aux-in at the back of the dock.

The dock is iPhone 4 style, not a iphone 5 style. Using Bluetooth it will play music from any phone.

Yes. It works great with great sound. It can also charge your phone while having the bluetooth connection. Most docks now a days can only play the music due to the bluetooth. I would suggest this for anyone with an android phone!

ok, so allow me to edit my comments. it does charge the ipod touch 2g but for whatever reason you have to turn the unit on and off every time you connect it. slightly annoying, not a deal breaker. just remember to TURN DOWN the volume before you hit play. The default volume at first power on is obscenely high. i don't get buzz of any kind but my unit is not an iphone. also, the remote under regular (read : everyday) use eats through a battery in about 6 weeks. Luckily, the CR2025 battery that it takes can be found for under 50c a piece on the internet (google it). Overall, I think this is an ideal dock for an office as it does reasonably well with really low volumes which most docks don't do and it's an extremely small footprint.
