Im a bit of an audio noob, but do you plug that huge headphone jack into these, or the 3.5mm jack? Could you plug standard computer speakers into it?

There is 2 ways you can use it standalone if the Battery is any good which they have issues with them in fact a recall you will have to research it. Cause they were defective batteries built in them. Anyways charge it up via USB and then use the one cable to your Music Player and work that way or usb cable to it use it as an headphone audio source for your Pc/Laptop and of course you will have to download and install the drivers for that to work that way...

3.5mm works. No option for any other size. You can also plug 2 set of headphones in.

It depends upon the device and the adapters you are needing. With my iPod I use a 30 pin connector.

I just has regular 3.5 mm headphone jacks. Your computer just needs to have a headphone and microphone jack. It has a splitter with it so that you can use them as headphones when you don't need the microphone plugged in as well. No drivers needed.

Sound comes from the computer, not the monitor. Plug your speakers into your computer.

They will only get as loud as the device you are listening to. I can plug them in my laptop, turn volume way up and hear clear without them in my head. The sound quality is fairly decent also.

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.

These are not powered speakers, they need to be connected to a receiver or amplifier. If you wanted to use these with a computer you would first need to connect the pc's audio output to an amplifier.

your computers speakers are running off of a 3.5mm mini plug out of the computer correct? why don't you just use a headphone splitter (1 to 2) and plug them both in simultaneously? then your speakers wont know whether the headphones are plugged in our not. this headphone splitter is about $3 at radio shack.

These are not computer speakers. That means that they need an amplifier (such as a receiver) to be used with the computer.

Not any longer on these. For a few bucks, just buy a cord extender. That way you can leave the extender at your desk and take the headphones wherever you need to go.

I personally don't have any problems with using them with my PC, but since every PC is different at how they output sound it just depends on how much output your PC gives. This pair also doesn't need to be terribly loud since they have excellent sound isolation.

Well yes and no. You cannot directly plug these speakers into a TV or a computer. They are not self powered, which means they require speaker wire and a source of amplification. To plug into a TV you would need to plug the speakers into an amplifier or a receiver. Same goes for computers or audio music players. I personally use them with a small amplifier. So I run speaker wires from the speakers into the amp. I then have a stereo plug (one that has a headphone jack at one and red and white plugs on the other) that allows me to plug in anything with a headphone jack. Hope this helps!

You can pretty much connect these speakers into anything as long as you connect it to a headphone jack. Works well with laptops, television, and desk top computers. I'm very happy with these speakers, they work very well!

You cannot plug these directly to your computer. You can hook these up to a receiver/amplifier and use one of the inputs on the receiver/amplifier to connect the line-out from your computer sound card.

@Gustavo: Yes. Any amplified speakers, such as these, are made specifically to be used with non-amplified sources (i.e., virtually non-amplified). That would include any personal computer, iPods and other MP3 players, and frankly, anything with a headphone jack. They are still called "headphone" jacks since that's what their original use was intended for, and then the speaker companies had an existing and standard sound-out jack to take advantage of. DAMAGE CONTROL: Always be safe the first time you use any new speakers by beginning with the volume controls (on both the source and the speakers) set to low, and gradually increase them.

These speakers come with a power cable and a cable to connect to your computer. You will connect via a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. So if you can connect headphones, you can connect these speakers.

I use Altec Lansing speakers that are plugged into the headphone port. They consist of a left, right and subwoofer speakers. These were made for a computer but they have great sound.

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. :-)
