Can I use it with a Macbook? How is the sound quality?

This device is designed to work with iPhones, iPods and iPads, not Macbooks. If you have a newer Macbook, the difference in sound wouldn't be worthwhile anyway. The main upgrade this provides for an iDevice is the amp. Newer Macbooks already have fairly decent internal DACs and amps. It's unlikely you would consider the sound from this an improvement over the direct output from a newer Macbook.

Yes, however, the problem with mac computers is you need an adapter for your mic to be powered. So without that adapter you will likely only be able to get sound from the headphones. If you do not want to buy an adapter best to buy an USB headset.

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

I have used it with a MAC, but I do not have a macbook. It is usb so it should work.

I'm not overly familiar with Apple Laptops, but I think the headphone jack also serves as a line in (wish I had one available to test that out). Failing that, you could always get an inexpensive RCA Audio to USB cable/converter.

I use it with my Macbook Air all the time with the bluetooth option, but you could use it with the USB cable also.

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.

You should be able to, I just tested it out on my Macbook Pro. Turn your bluetooth on, connect the headset (connect the device to the macbook), then select the headset to use as an audio device. I didn't have any trouble with it and ITunes.

I know it can be used with audacity, because that's what I use. I've seen other reviews where people have used it with garage band, and it worked perfectly fine. and I use windows so I have no idea if it will work with the older MacBook, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

My two cents..I'm not sure how good the internal DAC/AMP in the Macbook is, but as for my HP DM4, I found the FiiO E7 to be of lesser quality than the sound card I already had in this laptop.

Can't answer about the Bose specifically, but anything with an earphone outlet will definitely work into the MAC -which I do all the time. Try it, your really can't hurt anything unless you've got everything cranked up all the way. Always start at 1/4 volume level then adjust up to desired listening level.

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.

your macbook needs to have a bluetooth device. otherwise this earbud does come with a normal connector that functions like any other wired earphones. =)

This is only a sound card. You would need to hook this up to a computer. Mac or PC doesn't matter. Sound is pretty good considering price.

The sound is amazing with iPhone, iPad and Macbook Pro, though connecting it to the Macbook was a little trickier. I suspect it will be very happy with whatever plays music over a Bluetooth connection. The sound quality is somewhat diminished with my 09 Macbook but it still fills big open rooms with sound. I don't have a desk top so I can't speak to that.

I use this on a MacBook Pro, and it is so much louder and clearer, with a fuller range than the built in speakers, there is no comparison. It's hard to say if it will be loud enough for your needs.
