No. It comes with an adapter for the the built in rechargeable battery & you can play it while it's being recharged.

Yes, but then you must maintain the charge by keeping it plugged in or charging it periodically.

I found out the hard way that you can not. Once the battery dues it won't charge and play at the same time. Also there is no warning that the battery is low. Best thing is just to charge it on a regular basis. Hope this helps.

Sure can! Still, you can still use the speaker even after the batter has pooped out. Just plug it in to USB charger and there ya go.

It does not need to be unplugged to play and can be used while charging but as in all rechargeable battery devices if you never use the batteries, keeping the unit charging all the time, you will ruin the the batteries in time and they won't hold a charge.

The unit charges off a micro usb port. As long as you are playing through bluetooth or the provided sound cord, the usb cord can be used to 'plug into the wall'

You need to charge separately. I will play while simultaneously connected to electricity to charge

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.

You can use your phone while it is charging. You could have any app open, including music apps. But I don't think that it'll play the music over the speakers in the car. It doesn't in my car.

No. You can plug in your speaker to recharge it and then play your device. It can only be charge thru the plug in charger.

Yes. The charged battery, however, will not last the night playing music. I put the USB cord into a 110v adapter.

Yes, you can play music and accept calls while charging. You can leave it plugged in, it works while plugged in and unplugged.

Yes. No problem. I usually have two in use, both playing from the same source, and one charging. Both work while one is charging.
