Do you need anything else other than my MacBook Pro in order to use these speakers
889810
No you don't. They come with everything needed and plug in directly into the laptop. They have great sound.

works great with my mac mine, and my Windows box: the LEDS are on ALL THE TIME: so with the computer in the bedroom where I like it dark: I unplug them . Great Speakers

The speakers like this that I purchased have a usb plug as well as a speaker jack plug that both must be plugged in to work. If you have both of those they should work. Mine is used in a H-P desktop.
889813
nope you don't need anything else.. they plug in to usb port and come w/ the wiring.
889814
Nope--you're good to go! I've had my speakers for several months now & have been using them w/my MacBook Pro. They're great!!

All you need is one available USB port and the headphone output. They sound great by the way.

Can't answer that .. we are using those speakers connected to iMac ... not using any thing else with them.

video yes......the sound will have to come from your macbook audio out to external speakers.

You do not need external speakers. There are speakers built into the computer. There is an audio jack for headphones or speakers if you would like to use them, however.

You cannot have both audio and visual with the aforementioned hardware, my friend. The best you can do is plug speakers into your macbook's audio port. That's what I does. I hope my answer helped. Also, be sure to minimize your plugging in and out of ports with this cord. Mine broke in a month.

You will need an amplifier to properly power the speakers. If you have an amplifier of maybe 35 watts you should be fine, but might want more power if they are used outside. Using an IMAC as a source is fine, but it doesn't have an amplifier that can power speakers.

you have to have at least a built in sound card to even process sound on your laptop. but no, you don't need one for this.

Be warned!If you use this speakers with a Macbook Pro AND you are connecting the MBP to an external monitor via either DVI or VGA, you are going to get a whining sound from the satellites. See this thread for full details: http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3533245 but its a flaw with Macbooks and grounding of the eclectrical signals.Unfortunately this means i need to return this set of speakers and go for the wireless ones (newer version of the same speakers but connected wirelessly via USB) since the issue seems to be because i am connecting my Klipsch to the macbook with the Analog 3.5 mm connection.

I think they will. I use 'em with my MacBook Pro 15", and I cart it around with me while I'm doing chores - kitchen, bathroom while I shower, bedroom while I get ready for work, etc. I'm usually either listening to podcasts or watching Netflix while doing this stuff, and I don't have the volume up that high, and I can hear everything just fine. I work in a loud warehouse environment, and I took these to work with me one day to see how they'd fare hooked up to my mobile workstation, and again, I didn't have them turned all the way up, and I could hear my music just fine on Pandora and Spotify.

Yes, as long as you have a mini dvi port (macbook 4,1 should have)You will also need the hdmi cable of course, and remember that this port does not transmit audio, so you will need a solution for audio as well (audio will still come from either macbook speakers, or from the headphone port)

This seems like a loaded question to me :-) I am presuming standard hardware and software configuration, no advanced custom config, then there is no such things as a Mac or a PC speaker. You just need to make sure you have standard audio outputs and connect them and have power. BTW, they are good speakers for the money.

You would need to go from your mac into a power amp or a stereo and then into the speakers.You can buy some inexpensive amps that would work great from http://www.parts-express.com/These speakers are great everyone who has heard them are blown away by how good they sound.

They work just fine with my MacBook Pro. The sound is good, but not as loud as my previous speakers (can't remember the name).
305291
Yes. You don't need anything specific to Apple. They're just normal earbuds, which is what you need.
1224151
I'm not sure (I'm a PC user) but if you can plug standard headphone or earbuds into your MacBook, you'll be good to go. You will also have to plug the speakers into a standard 110v outlet for power. Great sound btw.
1346723
Yes you do need some kind of audio interface that has 1/4 inch or RCA outputs. Then the device should have either FireWire or USB...you may need a FireWire to thunderbolt cable because the new Mac may not have FireWire. Hope this helps

No While I'm sure they sounded better than other headphones you've heard, they weren't at even close to their full potential. These headphones require 300ohms to be properly powered, which you MBP won't do. I would highly suggest picking up a amp + DAC combo so you can power these cans to open up the soundstage and let the details of music shine through. If you're looking for a good pair to plug straight into your MBP, I would highly suggest checking out the HD-598's as they are low impedance and can easily be powered by the computers native sound card.
