If I connect these to my laptop in my classroom, will it be sufficiently loud enough for the students to hear?

They can get pretty loud or quite depending on what you set the volume to. They only issue you might find is controlling the volume each time you unplug the speakers it defaults to a slightly lower setting. Plus the volume control is digital button for up down and off, with no indication on how high or low you've set your volume to, other than you and your students ears

They sound quite nice actually. For a laptop speaker, I would say it sounds very good.

Yes, That is why I got them. At my school, the students can plug into my small amp and listen to audio books for study using their ear buds or headphones without disturbing the rest of the class

My wife uses it in her 2400 sq ft class room and the other teachers in other rooms say they can hear her. So it is pretty loud. It should work just fine for jamming.

Well, yes, but that's a pretty strange use for them. They are not very loud and will not project sound very well across a large room. They are designed to use with a laptop or a tablet where the user is 18 inches away. They are small, light and portable, powered by USB.

Yes! They should come with a 1/8 inch audio cable which you can plug into the laptop's headphones jack.

Yes and no. It won't make it louder. You would need to hook your speakers up to an amplifier to make them louder.

I use them with my laptop daily. Works well on minimizing outside noise also, so you can concentrate on what you are doing.

Yes, if your laptop has a headphones plug-in and a microphone plug-in it works just fine!

I think it would, just sit in the front row to guarantee better recordings, and don't touch it or shuffle papers nearby or those sounds will be MUCH louder than your prof's voice.About the people who bought ones that failed.... it sounds like getting a "good" one is sort of a luck-of-the-draw. Maybe buy 2? They're really cheap. Mine has recorded over 10 hours, still going strong... be gentle with it maybe?

I have them connected to my desk top. Just check and see if you have the input for them.

First, volume level for that size of gathering should be fine.. this thing pumps out an amazing volume. It hooks up simply with a Bluetooth transmitter, but if your laptop does not have Bluetooth, it also comes with a short cord that can be plugged into the laptop's headphone jack.

I use them at my office...you may have to find the optimal volume...but I didn't receive any complaints.

Yes it will work, but I doubt it will be loud enough for a classroom. I really would recommend something larger.

They are surprisingly loud, but I don't think they are the best choice for use during presentations unless it's a small class.

It is an amplifier and it should work, but I am not sure the output (in Wattage) will be enough to give you sufficient sound volume to fill a room...depends on the speakers and how many you hook up...it is basically a stereo unit and not surround sound and you may have to get some adapters to hook up your laptop output jacks to the input jacks of the amp. If you like it loud, you may want to get a more powerful unit...that's all I know.

I would think so. I've never tested them for vocal quality because I use mine when I teach
