It has fine acoustics without plugging it in at all. If you really have your heart set on using it as an electric, one of the small Fender amps will work fine. You just don't need it

Nope! Just plug and play (well...sing, speak, etc.). This is a great item - easily transportable and dependable. I use it all the time.

That depends. It is primarily for quiet areas. If for example, you are running a large fan, then the pillow speaker needs to be on your ear. If she is in recovery of a nursing home and the speaker is close but not on her ear, it would have to be within an inch or two of her ear.This also depends on her hearing.

I purchased it for an out of my area. gift. I suppose it has an adapter for in house use because the elderly person I bought it for loves it and uses in her house.

I plug mine in to a regular outlet. Use it for CD's and DVD's. It is not a TV. Just a player. But very clear and precise. Good tone, also.

you have to attach the transmitter to the computer so why not plug it in? the speaker work great on either batteries or plug in thus they are called portable...the distance is probably 50 feet or so.

Yes you can plug a speaker wire in.(Not included)Bluetooth range is not very good on this speaker compared to others. But its loud tho

well you can use it right out of the box, but the built in speaker is not that good, does the job, but through good headphones, youll hear it much better. playing with it with the buillt in speaker would get old pretty quick, with headphones, you really hear bass, highs and lows. also recharble batteries are a good idea, it uses them up pretty fast. it comes with a usb cord.

I don't use it personally but I asked my son who is 21 years old and he says that it has to be plugged in for the speakers to work. I can't say that I know from experience. I will say that anything that works with bluetooth I usually have to set up for him because he doesn't always know how to set things up. Hope that helps a little.

i dont beleive it will be loud enough for your practice it was built for crystal clear powerful sound at lower levels more than enough power for around the house but not enough for your application

Why you need speaker to practice if you can hear the sound from common headphone? Anyway though I never do that, I think it can use. I practice Vox Amplug using headphone which is already have MP3 player in it. Other ways using my celphone for input audio player.

it plugs in right in the back of the sub woofer. one is for the right speaker and the other is for the left speaker. it turns on with a switch in the back of it to have it play really good for you. the sub woofer lights up and you can even have it with more bass or less bass. so it all depends on how you want it to be. you can use any device with this so yes you can use your computer.

Hey Carey..Yes you can. Of course it is a headphone jack, so your speakers must have the same plug, and either be powered or be the little ones that plug into the headphone jack. The player has no other outputs, but one could possibly plug this into a full powered home audio system or boom box if it has an "audio in" port. Good powered speakers would sound the best. here's a handy link for you: http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6450_7-5136402-1.html They require batteries and/or ac adapter; I'd recommend rechargeable batteries if you use speakers a lot, like hours every day. You can get an ac adapter at your local thrift store if you know what to look for. Good Luck and best to ya! -J Hey Carey..Yes you can.

I know this is an old question, but it is good for helping others,so if you are in windows, and have a computer with the pink/green/blue plugs on the back, you do not need extra equipment. as there are options to configre your speakers to your speaker set-up.

of course you have to plug it in. I have had 2 of these and one was older then my Grandmother. She gave to me late in life now I have my mothers too. But they do get food spills that stain and eventually are not as pretty. This is so nice. better looking then expected for the price. It has been used 5 times since purchased and I love it. Gave one as a gift to my daughter in laws Mother since she always eyed mine and asked where I got it. wish it had a longer cord but I just use an extension cord if on counter it would be great but when used on a buffet I use extension cord. It only has one temp. warm so can`t turn up and down like the old ones. but works for me. If it gets to hot I just unplug for a while. of course you have to plug it in.

you will need a cord but I've been able to get it to work through my computer speakers, although, its not the best quality, you could also plug it straight into your computer and record it. Although if you want to hear full sound quality out of your theremin I would consider purchasing an amp.

I never tried using it without plugging it in- I suppose it would still work though your functionality would be quite limited (workouts, resistance, time, etc).
