Would someone be able to explain to me what I would need to do to hook these up to my computer? Would I need an amp? Thanks very much.

It depends, if you are just using them for headphones, you do not need an adaptor. If you are going to use them for gaming and need a microphone, V-moda sells a separate microphone accessory that allows you to plug in both headphone and microphone jack so you can use them as a gaming headset. The microphone is actually high quality, but it does cut out if you are too loud.

I use mine with my Mac very frequently just to listen to music and require no adapter to do so. You just simply plug into the headphone jack with the supplied cord. No purchase or additional items needed.

No you actually just need a voip/pc adapter. They have one on the v moda website. Or you can just get one st Walmart they are like 10 bucks

You would also need an amplifier that produces at least 25W/channel. If you already have the amp, I'd say to go for it, otherwise, you might want to consider a pair of small powered speakers (similar to computer speakers with the amp built right in, but much bigger and better sound than typical computer speakers). Amazon has dozens of different choices of powered speakers.

These are not powered speakers. You need an amplifier. So these are definitely not meant to be hooked up to a computer.

This is a set of UNPOWERED speakers. You will need an amplifier to power them and the amplifier you choose and what adapters you have will determine what kind of audio source you can hook up to.

These speakers have no amp built in; they are just speakers. They also happen to be great speakers. You can connect them to a computer using a computer sound amplifier system or you can use a stereo receiver, but whatever you use must have connectors for plain speaker wire and can't be hard-wired to its own speakers. I use four of these TSi-100s connected to a Logitech Z-5500 speaker system, and I couldn't be happier.

I have read a few reviews of the speaker system; they are described as for use with a computer sound system, they will probably burn out if you use this amp with them.

I dont think theres a way to plug them to a laptop because they need wire from both ends or banana plugs. Mine are hooked to my receiver and I use the mirror feature on my macbook pro and it works fine. I would recommend you get an amp. These speakers are amazing for the price!!!!

I have not used an amplifier for these speaker. I use them attached to my computer and am extremely satisfied with their sound. Their is a built in amp on one of the speakers.

They are just speakers. They don't currently have anything powering them. So the short answer is no. Maybe they could if you added a reciever and hooked your computer to that, but you'd be better off (and will save money) if you go with a powered set made for a computer.

As the guys answered before, you need an amp to properly power these speakers or you will be disappointed.

I have mine playing through a Tv/stereo system so I don't know why you couldn't hook them to a computer !

No. You would need a received or amp to power them. You can get a cheap one for about 40$.

NO. Do not plug those into this amp. they're already powered, and are only at about 80 watts per powered monitor. if your looking for more volume, pick up some Pa's or something.

I doubt this will be much help, but I own these and have never needed cables for them. Ever. If your computer has the necessary outlet you should be good to go for headphones, etc. My brother owned a set and I saw how nice his sounded and decided then I could really use a better sound speaker for my laptop - I wish they could work with my TV as well! I hope this helped you somewhat. I found these to work very well and they were a welcomed change. Hope you enjoy yours too!

These speakers require a stereo amplifier and cannot be connected directly to your computer. They are wonderful speakers. I understand that there is a newer model that is even better.

Not without some kind of amplifier. Computer speaker outputs deliver an unamplified signal. These are really good speakers, but not the best choice for what you're doing. Bose does make computer speakers that would be worth checking into. I can't recall the number, but they shouldn't be too hard to find online. Eddie
