Yes, it can be used while charging. Unlike some of my past DAPs, this one doesn't get very hot when it charges.

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.

I don't think so. I just charge my phone separately but you can do that while you're using the speaker. I'm enjoying having portable music!!

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.

No, it can not be used to charge other devices. It has a USB "in" (micro) connection that is only used to charge the speaker itself.

The speaker comes with it's own charging cord which is a mini-USB to USB. So, unfortunately it can only plug into a USB port or your cell phone's USB charging adapter; however the battery lasts a long time and while I charge it every once in a while when I think about it, it has never died on me. Can simultaneously charge while playing.

The speaker comes with a USB cord, and you need to use that to charge the speaker. However, if you have an adapter that allows you to plug a USB powered device into the wall, you can charge it with a wall outlet. I used the wall adapter for my phone to charge the speaker, and I didn't have any problems.

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.

I have not used it as a speaker with my laptop but have connected it to download my music to the micro sd card. The sound is amazing for such a small speaker and it plays for a long time before it needs to be recharged. I know it connects to a cell phone that is a fair distance away but I did not see how far away it would still connect. Hope this helps.

I haven't used the dock with it connected physically to a speaker, only with my phone connected to a speaker or headphone by bluetooth. There's no problem using it while charging under those conditions.

Do you mean while it is charging? Yes . It still play music while charging. You can charge your device while playing but not when the charge level is on red light in the back when you press the battery indicator. Thx. Hope this help you make your choice. I like this device. The sound is thru out the house. 1100 sq ft.

It doesn't seem I work while charging...but then if it did it would be more restrictive than just plugging your headphones into your player. It works with other headphones, which is what I use. The devise has a headphone jack like any other device.

You can use the headphones while charging. I have not experience any problems while doing it.
