I want to have music around th house, room to room with one of these speakers. But I have a desktop PC. Do I need a tablet or Ipad to use speaker?

If your PC has wifi that's compatible with the Mini Jawbone it should work because the Mini Jawbone can be synced together per their product description. Currently, I'm using mine with the IPhone and IPad.

You can use the speakers with any device that has an standard earphone jack...........tablets, laptops, phones, etc

Yes, you could use it as a PC speaker, It has an AUX IN on the top of the unit. You just need a male to male 3.5mm cable of any length you need, plug into your green speaker output on your PC and it will work fine. It also has USB and radio although mine does not have a display to see what station I'm on.

Hi Peter, it would work in two ways, one is to hook it through a Bluetooth to the computer for that your desktop would need a Bluetooth card. The other way and the simplest one would be to get a male to male audio cable and hook it like you would with any other speaker.

Hello Andrew, pls forgive my slowness as i never fully understood line in and out concepts. However i can tell you that I have been able to use a rca to 3.5mm cable (in addition to the usb port on the board) to play music from my ipad to the speakers flawlessly. Havent tried it in the other direction. As to your other question, the board has a monitor out port that you can use to connect another speaker to use as a monitor. Hope my slowness has not confused you. G

The speaker has two ways to plug in to your tablet, a headphone jack and a USB plug. I use the headphone jack. It is not the quality of a large speaker, of course, but the sound is very good and improves the volume and quality of what you get from just the tablet alone.

These can be used on an iPad and desktop. On the desktop, plug them into the speaker jack. The speaker (and microphone) jacks are usually on the front of a desktop but may be on the back. Some desktops have jacks in both places.

Agree with Patrick. I use my simplyvibe to play music or video from my iphone. I simply connect to the speaker via bluetooth, and then stream music all day. It doesn't matter if you play music from your phone, ipad, ipod, (itunes) or any other device. I also, through bluetooth connectivity, play music from Pandora and Slacker. All said, this is a fantastic speaker for desktop use at home or office. It has great sound from such a small device. The battery last for quite a long time as well. I hope this helps you. I am getting ready to purchase a second speaker for my girlfriend to use at her office. Agree with Patrick. I use my simplyvibe to play music or video from my iphone.

You can use it as basically a speaker and microphone with the iPad (mp3 player). I bought for my niece, she loved the songs on it!

This seems like a loaded question to me :-) I am presuming standard hardware and software configuration, no advanced custom config, then there is no such things as a Mac or a PC speaker. You just need to make sure you have standard audio outputs and connect them and have power. BTW, they are good speakers for the money.

Is it worth getting this speaker to use with a laptop, instead of one with two speakers or a bigger one? Can it compete against regular speakers?

That more depends on your speakers more than the interface. If the speakers are loud enough to play music from your ipad to said room, then I don't see it being a problem. I use my speakers to play back while mixing down in Garage Band and it does fine.

Nope, these are completely stand alone speakers. You need a reasonable stereo power amp of at least 30W per channel (I use 100W plus equalizer because these speakers sound so lousy) to drive these speakers. Of course, you can plug a 3.5mm jack /dual RCA output cord into the Ipad and your amplifier/receiver, and you'll be good to go.

Hello. Yes, you could plus a table, iPod, computer, or any other similar device. You will need an adapter cable to go from the 3.5mm mini plug to the 1/4" inputs on the speaker. If you need help selecting the right cable, let us know as we have them in stock. Thank you for your interest!

Hi, From your tablet you can connecdt and play to one speaker over Bluetooth

The speaker has a male mini plug jack, the same as a headphone would use that would plug in to your phone, iPod, or MP3 player. It is platform independent, so if your computer has a port for headphones and volume control (the speaker doesn't have any volume control) you should be fine. HOWEVER, the cable on this speaker is extremely short, and you may want to purchase a longer male female extension cable.

Yes they will work hooked to your PC. I have used mine hooked to my old PC, my new laptop, my ipad and iPhone and they sound great too. I only bought two speakers and I wish I got the four speakers so I can keep them in different parts of the house. Have fun with yours
