Can this work while plugged in/charging?

yes it can. if the battery is low you can use it while charging it and it provides full power thanks to the charging voltage being provided to the battery. even when full charged i like to use mine while it is being charged as the ac provides a voltage peak that ensures you are getting the best possible massage.

I'm sure it can, as I have another model that I've used as it was charging. My wife uses this one all the time.

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!

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

The short answer is yes. The unit has an on/off switch. The USB cable will charge it while off and charge/power it when on.

Yes you may. It seems will stop charging after fully charged.I have left the plug in for over 24 hours couple time, and everything is still in working order

Yes, as long as it has some charge left in it it will operate while charging. When I use it on long flights I plug it into my MacBook Air USB and it charges while I use it. Works great.

My guess is no, but we will see if anyone answers my similar question. I cannot currently get the device to charge and discharge at the same time. I plugged it into my phone when I got it, and I think it might have drawn power FROM my phone.

You can use it while charging, but it will slow the process. You may use more power to run the device than is going into the battery to recharge it.

YES. I specifically bought this so that I could charge while using line-output to speakers. So yes, it will charge and function simultaneously while connected to usb power.

Yes, you can use it while it is charging. This is important if you forget to plug it in so it still works.

Yes. It automatically turns on once plugged in, but can be shut off while charging.

Should be able to, just plug in headphones instead of speaker while charging.

Yes. You can use it while charging. Only wish there was some indicator light or audible message that tells you how full the battery is. Maybe they have that in the newer model.

It will work while charging, by holding down the MODE button while applying power. See my review for full instructions.
