does it operate while charging?

I just tried it to make sure. Because it has very few indicators, I wasn't sure it was actually charging. I have used the BTH220 when the battery was completely drained, but I haven't been in that situation with the bth240. I turned on the headset (the led blinks blue) and plugged in the charger. The headset automatically turned off and the led turned red. I turned the headset back on and the led stayed red, but also blinked blue. It is tough to tell for sure, but I believe it will work.

It does not. I use my Galaxy S4's charging block (2.0 Amp output) to charge this bad boy and it charges relatively quick.

Yes, I keep reading that in a lot of reviews. But I'd still like to know if it is operable while it charges.

No, but it charges quickly. As soon as I'm done I plug it in for about 30-60 minutes and it seems to keep its charge.

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

Yes, it does charge it while playing...unless you're using the AUX port of course.

It's plugged into the power source, so my answer is yes. It's using power also so I don't know if you would notice it charging, but I can say I've used it when I had no power on my battery and it worked perfectly. I never noticed a drain on it either. It's like using the tablet while charging it. I hope this helps! :-)

Yes, it will still operate while it is plugged in with the charging cord. This has happened to me a couple of times. I was nervous about this myself because you don't need to cut/shave your hair and get halfway done and can't finish.

I can use mine while charging. The charge time varies depending on whether you are using it or not. It should be the same as your original charger.

In my review I stated that it does not work while charging. However, since then I have found that it depends on the charger. It plays while charging on a couple of my chargers, but not at all on other chargers. Hope this helps!

No. Not while charging. This version does have a power button that lets you turn it off the entire unit when you aren't charging. But after a few days I just left it on, no good reason to do it.

Not unless you turn it on. It will operate normally while charging. There is a small red charging indicator inside the lantern light stack when charging so you will see that when the light is turned off. Hope this helps. JWC

I use my phone while its being charged. Not sure of the effect it has on the battery. But it does work. I even use ot while the phone is plugged into the charger and the charger is plugged into the wall.

Yes it will still remain active while charging. Actually it's best to keep it on the charger while using cause if you don't the battery only last about an hour & and half or 2 hours.

Yes. You can use it while charging. Only wish there was some indicator light or audible message that tells you how full the battery is. Maybe they have that in the newer model.

FALSE. It functions while charging. You can also sync with the micro-USB cord directly into iTunes.

Not in my experience. The device seems to charge just fine while off or on, even while actively playing music. I have never been able to run the battery long enough to go completely dead so I don't know if that is the case with a totally dead battery.

I usually keep it charged when using it, so I'm not sure if it does or not.
