Can I just use these/this as iPod speakers or computer speakers? Wanted to know if this came with the simple output I could just plug and into my iPod?

No. To use these speakers with your iPod, you would need some sort of power amplification. You can find small portable amps, perfect for what i think your looking for, here on amazon for 20 bucks and up. Just search the term "portable power amp". Hope this helps.

Hi, I have these connected to my MacBook Pro laptop. But the think I really love is that I also discovered they could be connected to my iPod nano! So far I am really pleased with the sound and quality.

These are not a sound system. These are two individual wireless speakers with a wireless unit that accommodates an iPod. There is no way to plug them into anything other than what comes with them. They sound great though.... hope this helps.

I do not believe that these speakers are compatible with a computer. I believe that you will need amplified speakers with a single connector that plugs into your computer speaker output.

You can connect these speakers to a PC the same manner you would connect an Ipod to these speakers. I currently have this running through my computer, and it's pretty good sound. I simply have a stereo to rca cable running from my PC to my receiver, plugged into any of it's audio ports (I used CD), and you are good to go.

These speakers need an amplifier. These aren't really made to be computer speakers per se. They can work for that but you would need to get an audio amp which would connect to the audio output of your computer and then these speakers would hook up to the amplifier.

What you would have to do is have a home receiver near by. I have one in my basement. I ran the speaker wire from the receiver in the basement to the speakers outside. Then you would just hook up your IPOD to the "Aux In" on the receiver. That's the setup I have to play my IPOD outside. There is no way to directly hook up the IPOD to the speakers. Hope this helps answer your question.

I was curious if this would work with the 3rd Gen iPod Touch myself, since I was looking for a good speaker dock that could go along with that. I've owned Logitech speakers in the past for my PC and HDTV, and wanted to see how well they would do with the newer iPod Touch units. I'm just as hopeful as you are that these will indeed be compatible and not let anyone down.

They can be used as both computer and bookshelf speakers. I use them for my computer. Yes, they can be hooked up directly to a computer. The power source and audio cable are included. They can also be hooked up to a receiver too. In short, these are pretty awesome speakers. Extraordinary sound quality, especially for the price.

Since I have been using it with iPhone, I think you can listen to an iPod. However, you need a power adepter, which is not supplied with the speakers. (The ordinary iPhone power adapter works well.) You just connect the usb cable to the adapter as the power source and use the audio cord supplied with the product to connect the speaker and your iPod. Hope it's helpful!

No easily accessible headphone out if thatvis what you're looking for. There is a line in and usb on top, so you can cable from an ipod headphone jack into the speaker as shown in the pic. There is a line out (rca jacks red/white) on the back though so an adapter cable could accomplish a headphone hookup

@Gustavo: Yes. Any amplified speakers, such as these, are made specifically to be used with non-amplified sources (i.e., virtually non-amplified). That would include any personal computer, iPods and other MP3 players, and frankly, anything with a headphone jack. They are still called "headphone" jacks since that's what their original use was intended for, and then the speaker companies had an existing and standard sound-out jack to take advantage of. DAMAGE CONTROL: Always be safe the first time you use any new speakers by beginning with the volume controls (on both the source and the speakers) set to low, and gradually increase them.

It would only come out in stereo sound, you would need to make sure that your laptop has digital optical input like the iMac G5, MacBook Pro and MacBook, you can double check the Apple Website, if it does not have a digital optical in, these speakers would only use two speakers, these speakers do not "synthesize" 5.1 audio using a stereo port. In other words, your iPod would only come out through the front two speakers and not use the other three (center, left rear and right rear)

Hi there, unfortunately you cannot use your Iphone with these speakers because it has a usb plug. It is only compatible with a laptop or pc.

Depends on the type of speakers you intend to listen to it with. If its just your computer speakers than this will be fine. If it is your surround sound than as long as it has an usb port it will work. If you are going to use a sound system that is specifically designed to listen to ipods than this probably won't work as they usually use the ipod specific plug which is wider than a usb port.

you can use computer speakers. But you need a power source for the speakers and will have to turn them on and off as with a computer.

These are designed to play from a USB port dongle out of a PC. These are not designed (that I know of) to play from an iPod.
