Will I have to manually pair the speakers (i.e. press that subwoofer's pairing button) every time I bring my MacBook Pro back in the room?

Dear Mark, Thank you for your question regarding our M2 Bluetooth speakers. Once you pair the speakers to any device then you do not have to worry about pairing the M2 to that device again. It will automatically connect if you have brought that device back in range of the M2. Please contact us at support@kinivo.com if you have any additional questions.

I don't use Mac; but my HP Pavilion required a usb Bluetooth dongle. As long as I left it in and the speakers 'on,' the pairing was automatic. now I have a VAIO with bluetooth built in. As long as I don't turn the speaker itself off, it pairs on its own. I would suspect it would be the same for you.

No, once you have paired you mac once with the speakers you will be able to connect straight from your mac

No, you don't have to do that...once it is paired it will stay like that...but if the speakers are wired to your desktop to switch from you desk top to your Mac there is a source button in the back of the sub that you have to press.

Update your blue tooth software through your mac if possible. Check your mac blue tooth and make sure that one its on, second that it's recognizing the speaker. Then manually connect it in the case the speakers auto connect isn't recognizing the mac. If that doesn't work turn off the blue tooth on the mac and hold the blue tooth button on the speaker remote until it starts blinking and when it starts blinking turn the blue tooth on the mac on and let the speaker relearn the mac. That should fix your problem.

No. The sub woofer is wireless & connects to the main unit seamlessly via Bluetooth when the unit turns in.

If you've paired other BT devices with your MacBook then you should have no problems. It's a great speaker - great sound, well built and easy to pair. I see no reason why it should not be compatible.

No. I received my unit today from Amazon with manufacturing date November 2013. The unit also dropped the sub-woofer unit after first use. The unit connected for 1 minute and now it's not even pairing with the bar unit. To be honest the bar seemed used or returned item from some other customer because I can see scratches if I hold a light at a right angle. Sound is great though so order a replacement. If same issue I will return.

I did not have a problem with my Mac detecting them and I have Mavericks as well. Do you have the Bluetooth symbol at the top part of your screen on your desktop? I just clicked it and the Plantronics device appeared. If you have already synced the headphones to another device that is in range, you need to disabled Bluetooth on the other device before trying to pair the headphones to your Mac. You can only use them on one device at a time.

I was able to pair with my apple laptop...I'm sure you would be able to if if you have Bluetooth on your desktop:) hope this helps! I love my JBL speaker!

The easiest way is to run a RCA Y-cable out of the headphone jack. That's what I do from my iPod. Otherwise for better sound you'd need to feed the macbook into a DAC and then connect that to the amp.

I got it to work with my browser on my Macbook & I will be working on getting it on my Samsung tablet.For my MacBook I opened preferences..then sound then output then clicked on the speaker. I may of missed a step but its not hard once you get to output.For my tablet I think wifi speaker app will work.This all took lots of searching and patience but I see the light at the end of the tunnel.LOL the instructions that came with the speaker are helpful..but I have built things that are simpler that had more pieces/steps..LOLGreat sound great speaker when set up right!!

My macbook had the same issue although these headphones work great with my ipad and iphone.If you havent already tried this, I recommend you hold down the power button on the earphones until the light begins cycling red and blue. This is the pairing mode and generally works

Yes, as I type this, I have it paired with my MacBook Pro and streaming radio.

If you have them hooked up to a receiver you can hook the apple power Mac to the receiver via auxiliary port and it would play through the speakers. I highly recommend theese for the price they're definitely worth it.

Subwoofer should connect automatically. If not, I believe there's a connect button on sub.

The best thing I can think of is to 'delete' the speaker as a device from whatever you were synching it to, then have it 'discover' the speaker again. I seem to remember having to try that when I had been synching it to my iPhone, then switched over to almost exclusively using it with my Macbook.

Yes, but it is suggested that you go into your MBP settings and activate aptX to optimize the sound

Sure... Mines paired quite well after I called the manufacturer and they walked me step by step.. And it went smooth as I had quite and issue connecting as well.. Tips: 1 Make sure batteries at full. 2. Make sure it's switched to Mac in the back of keypad of device. 3. Make sure your Mac actually picks up the device. 4. I recommend you looking up the # as it went by like a breeze with me.. They will walk you step by step hope this helped!!!
