Do you need a usb transmitter for these speakers? If so, are they included or sold separately?

Yes, you do, but you can hook them up to any green port on your computer if you don't want to buy one right now.

I have a 5 year old pc without bluetooth, so I bought the adapter seperatley.

Yes You do and the speakers do not work together wit another set. If you try and work two different sets for an ambiance sound only one will operate with the signal of the transmitter even if you have two transmitters. The companies surely take you on a ride but as a stand alone set , The speakers work fine as long as you have the dongle from the proprietor to match the speakers. The companies just don't care about doing anything to help the consumer enjoy their product unless you pay for each and every Piece of equipment and then it leaves you wanting. You would think that is would be illegal for them to sell an incomplete set of anything that will not work alone unless you wire them.

Not sure what cable you received but when I purchased these speakers they came with a dual micro usb (speaker end) to USB/3.5 mm stereo jack (device end). I would contact the manufacturer customer service. I have not used them but I heard they are quite good helping customers.

No, this is just the speakers, you need to connect them to a receiver (amplifier). The receiver probably will have a remote control, not the speakers.

No. you do not need USB PC speakers, you need ordinary passive speakers (like the one you use for your home theater). In essence, this device is two-in-one: external USB sound card and an amplifier. Hope that helps.

If you have bluetooth they should work. They do come with short USB charging cables as well, so it might be possible to also attach them via USB if you can find a speaker driver somewhere, but I'm just speculating.

It's been a while since my purchase, but I recall that there was a USB cable needed for charging and a speaker input cable to connect to an external audio device. You con't need any other cables. The included ones seemed a little lightweight but they worked fine for me ever since purchase. The audio connector is also the antenna for FM.

They need to be wired. "Wireless" speakers don't really exist, the ones that pass off as wireless speakers are more or less just battery power boom boxes and are not a replacement for true speakers like these.

A single USB wireless transmitter comes with each receiver. I was unable to locate any Transmitters sold separately. However, I bought three of these over time and one transmitter will support all three receivers running simultaneously.

Yes, they both need to be connected.The USB gives the speaker power and the jack transfers the sound. (Just tested)

They are only sold new as a set, but it's easy to find a speaker without the amplifier on ebay. If you need the speaker that houses the amplifier, it will be more difficult to find.

No, they do not. They come with only the speakers, manual. Speaker wire and/or mounts are not included.

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.

Whether to get the 30 pin or USB will depend on the CD/DVD/reciever you are connecting to - you'll have to look at the back. You should only need one transmitter, the directions will tell you how to set it up for multiple speaker-lights

Yes...I connected my exterior speaker system through the audio jack. The built in speaker was of poor quality so, IMHO, you really need the extra speakers. In fact, USB computer speakers were even a good improvement!

No transmitter is needed. It connects to my phone or computer easily via Bluetooth. It's a very nice speaker set.

No one? I am specifically looking for a UBS output to speaker system. The reason is fidelity & elimination of latency. Take up a port? Don't you have a powered hub with a jillion outputs?

No it didn't have the USB cable, but they're easy to acquire. DAC is the internal transfer from a digital signal to an analog signal for your speakers. That's it job. The USB is for computer connectivity.
