Can these be connected directly to a laptop or is a splitter required? If a splitter is required, can anyone make a recommendation? Thank you

They can be connected directly to a laptop or phone. No splitter needed. It just needs a headphone jack for a connection. Hope this helps.

Two answers for you, 1) These likely won't work between rooms, with most bluetooth connections, quality will degrade after moving away more than 10ft, so if you have a pc in one room but want to play the sound in another these are not the speakers for you. 2) Bluetooth can only be connected to one device at a time to use as a wireless speaker. So having two of these is pretty pointless unless your using them at different times, which them by my first answer, your not getting the correct setup, these won't work between rooms. (Bluetooth likely will not work, you could run a 3mm audio cable. But for the effort, I'd invest in a better setup.) These speakers are great for laptop users who work at a desk and just need small affordable system but arnt too concerns with moving them around or window shaking power.

Why would you need a splitter - This cable is 25 feet long and it worked great for my application. All I used it for was to hook my laptop up to my TV. I would think a splitter might degrade the signal strength a little. There are longer cables if you need them. Look into the specifications of the splitter you intend to use for more information about its limitations. Good Luck

They're just speakers, they need to be connected to an amp. You could connect a wireless receiver to that amp that could receive signals from the laptop. They can't do it on their own. They can't do anything on their own.

I would buy a splitter to split the 2 channel audio from the mic. Having all three in one plug could cause issues. That is what I do to get an audio connection to my computer.

Dear Jenni, You need one pair to get good result for a 300 Pax event, Also You can Plug a Laptop & a Wireless Mic At the same time, Right now I have 8 of these Speakers I'm make Beach Weddings for 4 years without a single issue!!

1 USB cable coming from 1 speaker and the speakers are already connected to each. I've been using them for a couple of weeks and find the sound quality fine but I'm only using them because the built in laptop speakers are so poor.

Hi Chris, They are good without an amp but are even better with one. I have a fairly inexpensive amp and it works just fine. You will need an adaptor for laptops etc.

Honestly I have never tried that before but to try and answer your question I have to assume a few things here. One is that you are ok with how bad these things sound, to be frank these have terrible speakers and I'm not saying this as some audiophile who has very discerning tastes. As a general user these speakers are just barely audible and their reproduction of anything resembling sound is poor at best. You would do much better with a $5 pair of ear buds. I'm also assuming that you have two available HDMI ports that are not "mirrored" or "cloned". Because if you are running the HDMI through a splitter to get two separate video feeds your setup should work. Unfortunately using two separate HDMI ports will most likely not work because the card will define one port as the active sound out put and use just that one. Your best bet is to use a Y splitter audio cable (3.5MM) and go from the sound port to the monitors. HDMI in this case is probably no the best way to make this setup work.

Can't help you I don't use one of these splitters. I use 1 in and 4 out from my laptop to 4 TVs I also use a 4 in and 2 out with audio extractor Both had to be programed with my CP to work properly.

Yes, I use one pair on my computer and another on my stereo system, they both work fine with the power differences and it's actually indistinguishable. These do not require a lot of power to function extremely well. It's actually almost impossible to get them TOO loud.

The splitters (2) that I tried at the input end would not work - the signal strength was too low. Just for interest I tried a splitter at the other end and zero signal. Also at the output end, even some 90 degree elbow adapters or HDMI keystones would drop the signal enough to be a problem. Bottom line is the cable is good, just have not found anything that is not a drain on throughput.

What Brent said. Or get a audio interface. And connect them via 1/4" trs and USB. If your using these to make music I recommend the interface option as you'll want that for the sound card inside and it takes a load off your computer

You need a Y splitter. When I ordered mine, they sent it with the PC. Amazon has some that very inexpensive.

Sorry. I have not done that. I would assume you would connect them to the laptop.

No, they only connect to the headphone input in the laptop. They are pretty great I would say! I use it to watch movies and plug in the mirror image from the laptop to the Tv and it sounds great!

You would have to have a separate audio cable. If your laptop has a mini (1/8") headphone out, you can use a mini to rca, or whatever your audio input would require.
