For those using these speakers with a PC or laptop. Does the Stereo mode work on Windows? Or does dual pairing as Stereo only work via the app?

Unable to get it to pair with Bluetooth in my PC. Even downloaded the mini boom app.

If your computer has a combo jack, you need a headphone/microphone splitter to use it. It didn't work with the first splitter I tried, but I think the splitter must have been defective since J.D. Garner answered that he has successfully used it with a PC. I just ordered a different splitter.

Yes I use mine on my computer all the time. I know many people that use it for their laptops. It is mono stereo which means it is mixed audio in both ears.

I looped my audio through a stereo using audio in and out in addition to headphones an its still worked i would assume so if your computer has internal speaker (mine doesnt) just make sure you have everything configure properly.

I didn't use the app that you can install on your computer, I just set them up and within a few minutes it was working great. I could tell no difference between what was coming out of my headset or my speakers via the SB except it sounded better out the speakers as it should have.

Yes they will work hooked to your PC. I have used mine hooked to my old PC, my new laptop, my ipad and iPhone and they sound great too. I only bought two speakers and I wish I got the four speakers so I can keep them in different parts of the house. Have fun with yours

My experience is the same as Jacky's. I don't use mine with a laptop so can't comment on that. My headphones work fine without anything related to the speakers as I plug them into a USB port on my CPU.

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.

Is this a waste of money to pay for bluetooth capabilities if I'm only going to use it to plug into a laptop pc for better sound? Is there a better choice for just that usage?

I personally don't have any problems with using them with my PC, but since every PC is different at how they output sound it just depends on how much output your PC gives.This pair also doesn't need to be terribly loud since they have excellent sound isolation.

Is it worth getting this speaker to use with a laptop, instead of one with two speakers or a bigger one? Can it compete against regular speakers?

I have not tried to pair the portable speakers to a laptop but as long as you have the proper wi-fi set up or hard wire connections, there should be no problems.

If you want ot use as a computer speaker, as Brian said, Get a 1/8" male to male audio cable and hook one end to the laptop/PC's headphone or audio jack to the AUX of the speaker. Problem solved. Using USB may work, but I'd think of other options first, as the USB port on this device sends voltage out, as well as the USB port on your computer would, thats like pluging an outlet into an outlet....could have disastrous results..... Come "next door" if you have any other questions.

If your computer is running Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 of any flavor in either 32bit or 64bit it should work just fine. It's Bluetooth 4.0 which is the latest version. Bluetooth 4.0 is backwards compatible which means that even if your speakers are the older 3.0 version it should work just fine.

Hi there. The speaker Work in PC and Mac. Problem is that static is noisy and would not recommend if you are looking for quality. Not reccomended

I was able to pair it with my new laptop, which came with bluetooth. Now I don't have to listen to the tinny sound of the laptop but my awesome little Amazon speaker.
