How does the on/off switch work? If you turn the speakers on, will they stay on forever? If unplugged while on, will they come back on w/o user input?

Confirmed. They just stay on, and have no "intelligence" for signal. Just how it should be.

PWayne, No there is not an on and off switch on the speakers. You have 2 connecting cords. One is pink and you plug it into the earphones hole on your PC then there is an attaching USB chord that you slide in on the side of your PC similar to how you would hook up a flash drive. Hope this helps. These are very reliable, affordable, and just wonderful speakers!

They stay on if they are playing something (if sound is coming out). Once the input stops, they turn themselves off quickly. I don't know the exact length of time, but I'm guessing 5-10 minutes. I agree that it is annoying, because I use them across the room to boost my TV sound and so I have to get up and turn them back on a lot. If you were using them at a desk, it probably wouldn't matter as much.

There is only one on/off switch, there is a more bass/ less bass knob on one of the top speakers, so you can turn it way down, but don't think it would shut it off all the way.

Hi I'm Glad you asked.. i got these and really liked them so almost instantly wrote my review. These have a really great sound but today I plug them in and the left one will not work.. i messed around with them for about thirty minutes before giving up. Keep in mind i bought my pair used. but up until they broke they worked/sounded great. my only complaint is the max volume wasnt all that loud.

They toggle between "Bluetooth" and "line-in", and have a main power switch on the back. Not bad, actually. Though the original asking price was a bit high.If your asking, if they go in a standby mode, yes. I hit the Bluetooth/ line switch and they come back up.

If the question is does the speaker still work while unplugged it does if it's charged. It is not an electric generator however.

I ran my wires straight to the stereo power wire and they've worked great. I have a switch on my console that powers up the radio. When that switch is turned on, the speakers are lit up regardless of whether the radio is on or not. They look pretty cool at sunset and I'm sure they would look awesome at night. The speakers themselves sound great. Good luck.

I use them to listen to music at work and Yes if music stops they do go into standby but just start up the music and there back on. At least that's the only issue I have had with them. Hope that helps answer your question.

You can only turn the speakers on or off. There are 4 separate channels. I bought impedance-matching volume controls for each channel. If you want, you can use impedance-matching volume controls without the speaker selector. I use the speaker selector for additional protection for the receiver.

I've found sometimes just reboot the whole system since it checks for an active input, I know what you mean though bro! Turn everything off and then power everything on but the speakers play audio and turn it on

I haven't had these speakers long, but like them. I'm older and can't read the little switch. I've figured out which is off (obviously), what are the other 2 positions for? Also, noted in the blurb above that the bases are magnetic. Do I need to keep them away from my computer because of that? I've been plugging them into it to recharge. thanks for your help!

My speaker quit working after only one day. Got in contact with Amazon, and they are sending me a replacement. Said I did not have to return the other speakers. Makes me wonder why I don't have to return them. Are they NOT good enough to return??? Anyway, I'm going to give the ones they are sending me a chance. If they quit on me too, I will not go with Logitech anymore. Anyway, you will not have any problem returning, or, replacing them.

The lights can be turned off but you lose some of the bass boost when you do that. Not sure why they made it that way. You can leave the lights on and not have them blink along with the music tho. Hope that helped.

can you use the tv speakers without having to turn the receiver on? from what I have read you have to have the receiver on. can anyone confirm or deny this?

When I have used them, they have maintained the setting that they were on when I turned them off. This has included being disconnected, stored for a couple of days, and reconnected.

I got the same issue (connected with USB) plus, has static. The on/off control is in the weird location and many times I get the Static with a noise in the speaker. They even get sound when I turn on and off the light in the room. It never happened with the previous speakers.
