TLDR - NoThe entire headset and control module is powered through the USB. Plus, the wire that connects the headset to the control module is permanent. It would be safe to assume that this headset is very much geared towards desktop PC/Mac users.

The headsets get their power from the USB cable, so no you can't listen to music on your phone without it being plugged into a computer.

For what you are apparently looking for, you want a Bluetooth (and battery powered) Headset. These are designed for computer use, and even act as a 5.1 USB sound card. So short answer: No.

there is no USB input, but the AUX Input will accept low level audio signals from other devices. If the device has a HEADPHONE OUT, it would likely play through the AUX input.

The USB port is only for charging. You need bluetooth or 3.5mm audio port in order to play your music.

Yes. I plug my phones USB cable right into the port and rock out with the Bluetooth all night. You can also plug it into the auxiliary port.

Don't use USB , go buy an auxiliary cord and use that works alot better and no hassle when you wanna play your jams , some stereos cannot recognize smartphones and it just makes it easier to use auxiliary

I haven't personally tried that but it's a standard USB jack I plug in my iPhone cord and play my songs from there but to answer your question, I don't see why not.

Yes you can plug your phone in to it with the provided 3.5mm audio cable. It will then broadcast through the selected FM station. You can use the USB port to charge your phone or other device (no cable included), and supposedly to play mp3 media from a flash drive, although I have not tried this personally.

If you are referring to a USB drive externally, and yes it has a USB port on the front right hand side. You can load music on that and listen too

Only through a rear auxiliary port. There is no USB connection. the three options to play are the front dock, auxiliary or Bluetooth.

I was able to use the auxiliary port to play my android phone. Regarding the USB port, I picked up a cheap mp3 player download my music and plugged it in without a problem. Hope this helps a little. Stan

No. And it's actually possible to play something through Bluetooth AND through the wired jack. I have accidentally had music playing from my phone (connected with Bluetooth) and also through my laptop at the same time.

Not directly. There is no USB input jack. You can play music using the Bluetooth option where you connect your music player via Bluetooth.
