Computer: Can these be used as computer speakers?

Unfortunately no. You need a receiver to run these as well as seperate speaker wire to connect all the speakers to the receiver

No. These are crappy little computer speakers. They are the size of a can of soda and sound terrible.

I don't see why not, but mine were broken upon arrival so I never tried using them with a computer. As I said, I don't recommend them.

Honestly, I've never tried it with the computer speakers, only headsets. But I think it would work just fine as long as you have the appropriate jack or connector...

I'm not sure these can be hooked up with computer terminals. Not sure. I would call Klipsch directly.

If I were you I would look for a good pair of PC speakers. Technically it is possible using an amp and converter cables. If you are using the computer as part of a music system setup then it maybe worth going this route.

it doesn't mater what OS you have! as long the computer has a 3.5 audio jack output it will work. I cut the mounting bracket and I used sticky tape under the monitors. I three of them and they sound great too. the on/off switch/volume is on the right side of the speaker.

These speakers should be used with a high quality digital interface. The headphone Jack on your computer has a lot of interference

I don't think these speakers would be a good choice as a PC speaker. They are quite large and have the standard red and black post connectors on the back of the speaker for connecting to an audio amplifier or receiver. You might be able to connect wires to a small jack that would plug into the PC and then connect to the speaker but I'm not sure the output of the PC would be sufficient to drive these speakers. I think there are much better choices for computer speakers including speakers with built in amps to supplement the output of the PC

You will need amplifiers system and analog to auxiliary cable in order to work. Go with klipse 2.1 computer speakers would be the best option for you if you don't want to spend all that money on amplifier system and such.

Yes. They can be hooked up to the headphone output on a computer. If you want for them to sound better, get an amplifier for them. You will appreciate the increase in power.

Yes you can. Just make sure you consider cable length and position of the speakers.

Yes, they could be used, however they are better used as secondary speakers to fill out the sound in a surround sound system. They would be lacking for a stereo system as the primary speakers. I think a little tinny to be used for true stereo sound. Good luck.

Yes. .....you will need a power amplifier. ...they are not powered speakers.

These speakers are passive, and not powered speakers. You need an amplifier as well as your computer to get sound out of the speakers. If you want to get a pair of powered speakers, then you can just have the computer send a signal to the speakers and they will work. But, you must be able to control the volume level from your computer. Hope this helps.

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.

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.
