Is it possible to hook these up to a computer? if so how?

These speakers need an amplifier/receiver with a decent amount of power. Mine are hooked up to a 65W RMS per channel receiver. You can then go to Radio Shack and buy an adaptor cable that has a headphone jack on one (for the computer headphone jack) end and the right and left channel RCA connectors on the other to connect your computer to the amplifier audio input. The cable will run you around $5.

I don't see any way to connect headphones to these speakers. The speakers plug into the headphone jack on the pc (along with a usb port). Hope this helps.

Yes, and you can hook it up anywhere that has an input/output for it. Your computer will usually have a picture of tiny headphones right where you plug them in. :)

What software you're running shouldn't matter. If your PC has a 3.5mm speaker output jack you can hook them up.

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 on a pc..plug the adapter in for power and connect to the audio output for the sound....I have not tried it as I no longer use a PC....on tablets...

You can also hook up to your PC via USB. I have not yet tried it but it might work for what you are looking for. Check out headsetdotcom and youtube for the demo videos

yes, of course you can use these with a laptop. the inputs are digital or analog (mini or stereo rca)

You need a receiver (with a built-in amplifier) and then a connection from your laptop to the receiver. These are not powered speakers. The speaker wire connects to each speaker and then to the channels in the back of the receiver.

Only if the computer has an audio output source... Stereo RCA connections. With a headphone output jack these would not work.

only through an amp / computer or mixer. There is no way to do it directly. These are not powered speakers - you need to patch into them through a power source.

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.

It MIGHT be possible to drive these speakers with a PC, but you will need a sound card with some pretty good power to do it. (FYI... I drive these with my Onkyo A/V receiver which has 135 W/channel AND my laptop can lug into the Onkyo.) It is not something I would suggest given that some pretty good speaker systems designed to plug into a PC are already out there.

I don't believe you can hook this to a PC without some kind of odd setup. I have had this system for my home theater system for probably a good 5 years now and I still love them and have no thought of replacing them. I just really would have no clue how you could hook them up to a PC. I don't think a PC would put out nearly enough power to run these, the subwoofer is quite large and would take a bit of power to operate.

You need to power them with a receiver. You would run your computer into that.

I have the same question. I used my old computer speakers as an iPod docking station. Can I do the same thing with these?
