Are these speakers battery powered or do they have to be plugged in?

They don't use batteries which is why I like them but they do need an external source of power from the external jacks of radio or CD player they are plugged into.

yes, the speakers are powered by a separate cord from the amplifier box to the power source. They are used by my wife in her sewig room and she likes them very much.

I actually hook them up on the electrical outlet while I listen so it won't run off the battery. Think you can do that on the computer if u don't have the power cord.If not the battery run off quick.

These are self powered speakers. The amp is built into the speaker and therefore must be plugged into an electrical outlet as well as to the computer. Had them a couple of months now and continue to be very pleased.

They require 120VAC power, i.e., need to be plugged in. They are portable, but need a power source.

Unfortunately they DO need to be plugged in all the time in order to be used. For outdoor use you will need a portable power source. I recommend Paul C Buff's Vagabond Mini Lithium portable power. It's light weight, easy to carry and it costs less than $250.

Yes they will need to plug into an outlet. They have powered woofers, and a sub woofer you can hook up to you subwoofer connection.

These speakers are powered. As long as you have a standard line level audio out it should work. These speakers have a 1/4" phono jack and an XLR jack for inputs. A standard 1/4" male to male cable should plug the two together.

These are standard 500 watt 8 ohm PA speakers. You will need an external amplifier to use them. These are not powered. I have had really good luck with these speakers.

They are not powered speakers if that's what your asking. Pair them with a Lepai 2020 amp ($20) and you could hook it up.

Unfortunately no, the USB plug is how the speakers get power, so it would need to be plugged in, in order for the speakers to be turned on.

These speakers are not self powered. You will need an amp of some kind to power them. They are good speakers for the price. I like mine.

Hello John. The speakers have a standard, stereo, micro-plug. Yes they need to be plugged into household current and are equipped with the necessary power converter.

These are not powered speakers. They are standard speakers with input for speaker wires coming from the stereo amp/ tuner/receiver at whatever voltage that runs on. I hope that helps.

They are powered they plug into 110V. Awsom sound for the size. I like them better than my other tv's 5.1 speakers.

These are not powered speakers. You need an amplifier. So these are definitely not meant to be hooked up to a computer.
