Unfortunately, it only recharges when connected to its mini-USB charger. Very similar to a Bluetooth earbud.

Yes, it still works while charging. I tried this out with a travel charger in my car. I had my iPhone connected to it playing music through my car stereo; all while the device was being charged.

Yes it does, and it has amazing battery life. Best $20 I spent in a while, just get it.

This unit needs to remain plugged into the audio output or headphones jack of your non-bluetooth equipment in order to pair and receive on whatever bluetooth speaker, headphones, etc. you wish to receive on. If you mean do you need to keep it plugged in for charging it, the answer is no. Once it's charged, it will operate until its charge is used up and then needs recharging.

I have left mine plugged in for 2 weeks or so and it still works good. I know it says not to charge over 8 hours, but I have and it has always worked for me. I keep it at my 2nd home and don't remember to unplug it from time to time, but, it does still work. Probably not the best for it but....

No, it will not work while charging, after it is completely charged, I leave mine plugged in overnight, remove the cord and it should work perfectly.

I have used the speaker while charging and didn't have any problem with it.

That's the method I'm currently charging my speaker. Works like a charm! ;D

As like anything else that doesn't have an auto shut-off, Yes, it will continue to use Power while charging at the same time!Always remember to turn it off!It will still charge, but, it'll take quite a bit longer with it on than off!I hope this clears things up for you.

Yes the speaker works while plugged in or by battery alone. I have purchased 3 of these speakers (bought parents two). I love them & stays charged too

It works while it's plugged in. I believe it charges - just slower - while it's being used. My unit currently is almost fully charged. Make sure you plug it in AFTER you have made a connection. Mine did not connect unless the charger cable was out. If it's plugged in when you turn it on, it will only charge.

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.

Mine will not play while charging. I'm using it with a Samsung tablet.Update: After it had charging for about 10 minutes or so, I turned it off and on and then it worked. It was totally dead when I plugged it in, so that may have had something to do with it.

Yes it works while charging. Make sure you have connected to the Bluetooth and then it should function without problem.

Yes it does play while charging. I play it all night long while it's plugged in.

No. In fact it should play while your even charging it. Looks like you my have a lemon. I would exchange. It's worth the time. It's an awesome little speaker for the money. Also it will last a very long time on a charge.

Yes it does. I charge it with my laptop, but I use it on everything, my phone, tablet and laptop. Works great for such a small speaker.

Yes. I leave it connected to my laptop most of the time so it stays charged. Enjoy. I think it works well for its size and very easy to sync too.
