Can these work as speakers for my laptop? If so how do they connect to it? USB or ?

I have not done it but I plug the transmitter into the headphone jack on my cell phone so I imagine it would work using the headphone jack on the laptop. Hope that helps

Unfortunately these are powered VIA USB so you would need a USB to connect to so that they are powered, then you can use a phone or any music player to hear it through the speakers.

Yes, it's possible but you won't hear much. These speakers, and most others, are designed to be driven by a fair amount of audio as from a tuner or amplifier. The output from a laptop is designed for headphones or a small amp to drive, for instance, the speakers in an iPod dock. Power these speakers with sufficient drive and they'll let you hear stuff you didn't even know was there.... I love mine! Good luck, JC

If your laptop has Bluetooth you will be able to connect to the speakers, but the simplest thing is to just plug the aux into the headphone port.

No, the speakers are USB powered, so you just plug them into the USB port on your computer and you have power. They also plug into your headphone jack for the sound. So USB for power, headphone jack for sound. :-)

These are not powered speakers they require an amplifier or PA. Only then could you do connect it.

I do not believe that these speakers are compatible with a computer. I believe that you will need amplified speakers with a single connector that plugs into your computer speaker output.

I don't think so. They aren't meant to be computer speakers, but hooked into an audio receiver in an entertainment system. For what it is worth, the sound great!

I use them with my laptop. The cord plugs into the side USB port. My laptop has 3 USB ports as do most desktop computers. You just plug them in and maybe adjust your sound settings and that's it.

they sure can. the have the mini plug but you do have to power them to a ac outlet. they are not used as a usb type of connector. if you use the laptop as a desktop you would just unplug connector from laptop and remove the laptop to use somewhere else, leaving the speakers.

I have the same question and there isn't a clear answer with rationale. Can anyone chime in on this? My speakers are not USB powered. They have a dedicated power supply.

I had a meeting presentation last week in which I needed audio. I connected my laptop and used the speakers. Outdoors, you may want to connect to external speakers for maximum volume.

These speakers do not come with wires. To connect them to amplifier/receiver you'll need wires, which is usually the case with any stereo system.Regarding the computer - I'm afraid that a typical sound card of a computer/laptop will not supply enough current to make these speakers work.

These speakers just have connectors to hook up stereo wire from an amplifier to the speakers. They are not designed for use with a computer - It may be possible to do so, however, but you would probably need to have an amplifier between the speakers and the computer.

You would need to provide speaker inputs. You can run the audio out of your computer into a inexpesive amp, and them from the amp to the speakers. It works quite well.

They should work with the audio out connection. I got these speakers for my laptop and they work great. That's a big TV you have though. For it I'd consider bigger speakers although wouldn't know what to recommend. Something more in the home theater line perhaps. To provide the surround sound effect you are most likely wanting.

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.
