Can you both charge and play music with the speakers at the same time or do you have to charge first then switch to the bluetooth mode?

Yes. You can charge and play simultaneously. And the speaker automatically connects to whatever bluetooth capable device it detects.

I have only ever used the speakers while it was plugged into my Nook, & the Nook was plugged into power so the speakers were not running off the battery. But I can tell you that they both are charged a the same time on one plug. Hope this helps!

I only know that i need to charge it when it stops playing music, but it can be in the on or off position to charge, i prefer the off position though because it charges faster. there is no indicator for it charging however.

I'm pretty sure the charging base would not work to charge the speakers. Instead you can use any USB mini to regular USB, like a camera cable or any other device. Ie cellphone

There is a DC IN port that will allow the user to charge the battery while actively powering and using the device just like cell phones. In fact I'm doing it right now before taking my speaker to work.

It doesn't really stay in dock mode for me. If it actually goes into dock mode, and you have a music shortcut on the dock screen (which can be customized) you can play music through the speakers while charging. But if you end up pressing the home key and taking it out of dock mode, it stops playing through the apeakers and the you'll have to undock/redock again to play through the speakers. Its really annoying. If you end up getting this dock and figure out a fix, please let me know!

Yes, I am able to listen to music and charge. Sound is good...It's not a BOSE but it does fine for me. I'm very happy with mine and the charge holds well also.

the speakers need to be connected to each other and charged through the one

There is a separate cradle for each speaker to charge on, I have not tried using them while they are charging.

Yes, you can use the speakers while they are charging. I would think you could use them for an indefinite amount of time on the base.

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

sorry for the late response....I just tried mine and the music is kinda skipping whilst the colour changes. So, Im guessing that it does not play while it is charging.

I use the USB cord to charge the phone. And for the speakers to work, there's a switch on the left. Just turn it on the sync w/ your phone.

You need to have a device- iPad, phone, etc.- that is blue tooth ready. Once you do, then you just charge the speaker and turn it on. You play the music that is on your device. The speaker is just that, only a speaker not a holder of music.
