Question: Can you use the speaker while it's plugged in and charging?
Document: The description says upto 5hrs battery life but I imagine that's at a higher volume than I was running it at. The charging cord plugs into a USB port and I imagine you could just leave it plugged in all the time and never run out of charge. It also has a hidden cord on the bottom to plug in any device with an ear phone jack instead of using blue tooth. I did not test it's range but across the room worked well.
I've had this speaker for about a month now. It started out pretty good, although the battery only lasts about 45 minutes on Bluetooth until you have to plug it back in using the USB cord. So I started using the AUX plug in to maintain battery life longer. And about a week later, the battery gave out completely. Now I can't use the speaker at all without it being plugged into the wall and using the AUX cord. For a wireless bluetooth speaker, it's not really wireless or bluetooth.
I did a lot or research to find a good Bluetooth speaker that I could use at work and retire my AM/FM radio. I found this speaker and was amazed at how great it sounds for something so small. I now plug it in using a mini cable and wall plug adapter on the USB side so I do not have to keep charging it. I use WI-FI at work and use Spotify. I liked it so much I bought another to use in the garage or patio.
Also, the battery lasts for a long time, and charging isn't an issue since you can use this and charge it at the same time : )
If I had known about this system, I simply would have gotten this instead!In addition, it even plays perfectly while being plugged in. The sound quality is excellent. I can't wait to use it for it's main purpose...which will be to play soft music in the delivery room for when my wife has our second baby at the beginning of November.Considering I got this for $32 bucks and it didn't have a single 1 star review...it's a no-brainer. :)
It performs quite well for the price. The Bluetooth feature is very convenient but what wasn't convenient was when we plugged the speaker directly into our laptop (our laptop isn't Bluetooth compatible) and a virus or malware was instantly on it.

This speaker works great. I hooked it to my Ipad and I can play music anywhere in the house even while it's charging. I just carry the speaker to each room with or without the player.
This small speaker puts out a lot of sound, I was very impressed with how loud it can get, all the while being really good quality sound. Highs and good bass also. Easily plugs into my laptop for charging. Pairing to it is very easy, and quick. Also has cord for devices without Bluetooth.
This tiny speaker sounds and looks great. It paired almost instantly and played whatever I paired it with. Plus the installed wire allows playing non Bluetooth devices. The included USB cable also allows easy charging. Very satisfied with this purchase and have recommended it to many friends.Doug Braun
I've had others, this one raises the bar. It's like going from the Flintstone's to the Jetson's.Pairing is super simple.On/Off is so cool: Push the top and the core raises with a voice saying POWER ON.LED in core glows red or blue indicating operation/function.Charging is USB mini.No fussing with volume controls on the speaker.
Answer: Yes.
