Daughter's headphones broke off in the headphone jack of the macbook Air. Jack is now unusable. Can she use this to plug her headphones into?

Yes, I had the same problem with my Imac, my girls yanked the headphones out and broke the end off in the jack. I bought this and it works fine. You need to go to the preferences and set the audio out to this device, but so far it has worked fine.

Yes, certainly. It is a USB device and will use one of the USB ports. It is a DAC (Digital to Audio Converter) and at $20 provides MUCH better sound than the one Apple builds into its products. I had a problem with the fractious headphone jack on my MBPro and found this a perfect solution. I've moved to a MacMini and still use it rather than the headphone jack. The sound quality alone is worth the change.

Mt son's headphone jack on his 2 year old Macbook Pro had the same issue. I bought him this item and he tells me it works perfectly.

Yes. Remember that in order for her to do that, once you connect the device you have to go into Preferences> sound settings> and change the sound output to the "USB" option.

This works perfectly for headphones that are plugged into it -- ie it converts any usb connector to separate female mini-phone jacks for a microphone and headphones or a speaker. But if the headphone jack is broken, I don't know how she can plug her headphones into this female jack?? Also, note that you may have to manually change the audio output of your computer since with a broken plug, it may think the earphones are still plugged in.

This amplifier plugs "in-line" between any output and your earphones. It should work fine with a MacBook Air.

My son only uses the audio plug for listening. I'm sure you can look for a 2 in 1 combiner cable, similar to the image in this forum. Hope this helps. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1628603&page;=2

probably not. i don't have a mac but if it is the same as other 3.5mm jacks, the jack would spin when you drilled into it.

This is difficult to answer because all headphone jacks are not the same diameter. It works fine with my original apple headphones. I measured the hole and it should accept anything up to 1/4 inch in diameter. Hope this helps.

Best option is to use a dac (digital to analog converter - schiit make a "bifrost" that's fantastic). Failing that you can go headphone 1/8th mini pin to left/right stereo cable from the headphone out of your Mac to the line In input on the back of the amp.

I'm not overly familiar with Apple Laptops, but I think the headphone jack also serves as a line in (wish I had one available to test that out). Failing that, you could always get an inexpensive RCA Audio to USB cable/converter.

My daughter bought this to do things like that (and music cd's) it did not work properly with the MacBook Air. We returned it and bought the Apple external cd drive. No problem with that!

We use it soley as a mouse and works great with the MacBook Air. Blue tooth connection. Do not use the speaker function as my son has a gaming headset.

I don't think so. From what I know the Macbook Air lacks a USB port. If it does have a USB port though, you should be able to hook it up. Hope that helps!

Im not sure what you mean. MacBook Airs have USB2 ports which are fully compatible with the iPod shuffle's connecting cable (mini plug to USB)

i don't really use mac so i might suggest if you don't have 3.5mm jacks for the mic and headphone plug pick up a USB converter they are cheap and work great

Yes, you can, there is a slot on the side with a little rubber cap on it to plug in headphones. May not show up in photo because it is black on black.

Don't understand why you mention the headphone jack...don't these speakers work without headphones? I'm looking for a way to boost the sound of my macbook pro so I can work with music from my macbook pro in a studio and hear it.

you would have to plug it in using an 1/8" plug (headphone size), which it has a jack in the back. It would not charge the unit only play the audio. You could also use a non-Apple product by connecting through bluetooth.

Yes you can! Any aux chord fits, it's the same size jack as any headphones or earbuds.

The only "apple earphone"s that I know of, are standard 3.5mm jack earphones, which work with this just fine. But I don't know what you have exactly, and if I'm right, you won't be able to turn the volume up and down.Basically, if you have earphones that would plug into any iPod, or any audio plug on a computer, it'll work.
