Frequently Asked Questions]

• Is it okay to keep it plugged in all the time?
  I don’t own this speaker but have the kick but Bose Revolve Plus with a handle on top for attaching to a carabiner clip zip-tied to my bicycle (you can’t exercise without music and headphones aren’t safe) BUT a laptop of mine was ruined either the battery and/or motherboard by not realizing I shouldn’t have left it plugged in all the time and since the repairs would have probably have been $200 I bought a new Asus laptop. Both my bicycle and laptops are on individual insurance policy riders on my renter’s insurance and since each is valued at over $500 there is no deductible so when my old laptop broke I got $1,000 deposited into my checking acct.

• Can this be used with an auxiliary cord as well as Bluetooth?
  The previous answer is WRONG and should be deleted. I have this speaker and it has a 3.5 mm auxiliary input. It’s plugged into my Sirius XM radio that does not have Bluetooth

• How many Watts is this?
  Bose must be 25 or less the job is 40 watts which is the top… watts are measurement and important for comparison.

• Can you play two of these with only one audio source, such as one iPhone?
  In the description of this product, it states that you CAN play two of these speakers at the same time, which is why I bought two! Now, you’re saying that’s not the case

• Does this come with a wall charger? Or how do you charge it?
  This comes with a micro USB to USB charging cable that will work with a computer or a USB wall adapter commonly used for mobile phones and tablets.
