Yes it does continue to transmit however the battery will not last long when removed.

No, there is no transfer of power between either device. They are independent of each other as far as that goes.

Hello Mike, I do not like the microphone.. You can hear the people talking to you but the people on the other end cannot hear you like your mike is muted. If you unplug it from your computer for 15 seconds the mike will work for another couple of hours then unplug it again then will work again. I wish this was a different answer for you but its how it works for me.

You cannot use the device while it is plugged into a power outlet. So if you are using it to connect to a TV or something stationary, you can't just leave it plugged in and have it work the way you want it to. You have to unplug the power cord, power it on and then connect your headphones to it. Very annoying.

Yes, the transmitter needs power to transmit. It comes with a long cord with a very thin wire connecting the last 4 or 5 feet to the transmitter.

Yes, it looks like it retains all settings even it is completely unplugged. I have unplugged it for at least 2 weeks. It keeps settings without problem.

No, it doesn't have a "pass-thru". it needs to be on for it to receive and send audio out; so I always kept it on (nice blue night light). The device didn't last long though, it doesn't have a fuse so any power spikes will kill it (at least that's my theory on what happened to mine) so I would connect it to a really good surge protector. My power strip had a fuse but even that didn't help.

So far Ive been about 80 feet away from the transponder with out interruption both inside and outside the house. Yes, I keep mine plugged into the computer most of the time, just plugs into the audio jack. I truly enjoy these speakers and use them all the time.

I've had success pulling the power plug, counting to ten, and re-plugging. That it loses functionality seemingly at random and within a few weeks of purchase doesn't say much for the player. Has anyone else noticed how loud it is? That seems impossible to fix, a permanent annoyance.

Yes it does. I've had this unit connected to my tower and laptop without issues.

Yes. I had it with my first one. Sent it back and they sent me a new one. New one started doing it again after 3 weeks. It's something to do with the connection. not sure about the quality of shielding used in the cables. If I move the cables around in the back of the monitor it will sometimes go away for a day or so, but always comes back. Annoying as hell. The only issue I've had with it so far.

I have and it doesn't seem to make any difference. I can still unplug it and take it with me.

no. when it's charging, it doesn't transmitting or receiving. No. it doesn't work on continuous power. I didn't realized before I bought it. You are smart to ask before purchasing...

I have been leaving mine plugged in, but perhaps I should have read the instructions. My guess is that the battery life would be improved if you unplugged it, but so far mine has not blown up.

I've unplugged it from time to time (really just to move it) and haven't had to reset it up. Since I've written the review, I have seen some AirPlay disconnects (even with setting a static IP address). I know that setting a static IP is the way to go, but again have had a couple interruptions of music.

No, it will not pass through anything when it is off. No system will.When it is off it is like it is "dead."

Don`t! It is a worthless P.O..S. I purchased one and found out it is not truly isolated. I had less ground loop hum with a One Spot and it too was awful. Next step for me is true isolated transformer power, like a Pedal Power. The one I'm now considering has truly isolated isolated transformers and is offered by Rocktron.
