I have used this mike in a portable recorder however the plug is compatible with the Dell microphone input and other reviewers have stated they have used this with the computers although the one I read was a MAC. he sound quality is very good. I used it for live recordings and it is very clear. You do have to remember to turn it on to work and off to save its AA Battery. You also have a choice between two microphone patterns of 90 and 120 degrees.

NO, is is NOT really compatible with a PC mic jack. This mic is designed to plug into a STEREO mic jack. Your PC's mic jack is mono. The PC mic jacks, and PC mics, have three contacts like this one does - which make many people believe they are compatible - but on the PC the contacts are mic, +5 power to the mic (this is why PC mics don't need an onboard battery, they get power from the jack), and ground. Not left, right, and ground as on this mic. It might "work" but it will not give you stereo sound and you will get sound from the mic's left side only.

If your laptop has a stereo 1/8" mic input, the mic should work with it. The audio quality of the mic is OK for the price, and adequate for voice (pod casts), but don't expect it to be "pro" quality, especially for music. The mic preamplifiers in your laptop will also have some influence on the audio quality. Generally speaking, most computers don't have great preamps, so they contribute a bit of background noise to the audio.

The sound quality of this microphone is awesome. I am not qualified by knowledge or experience to answer how it would work plugged into a Dell Laptop. I believe it should work based upon your computer settings and software.

If I were you I would look for a good pair of PC speakers. Technically it is possible using an amp and converter cables. If you are using the computer as part of a music system setup then it maybe worth going this route.

they plug into any normal 3mm jack like whats on your phone for head phones. i dont know what your dell has but i dont think it would be any different. speaker offers both male and female options for input. in short...if you can plug normal headphones in then yes

You can get an adapter cable that plugs into the headphone jack of your laptop with stereo RCA plugs on the other end. But the digital - to analogue converters built into most laptops are not very good, so for better sound you may want to invest in a separate d/a converter.

I just plugged them into the headphone jack on my Dell laptop and they sound fine. The cord control doesn't do anything (e.g. to change volume or pause something...I started listening to something using iTunes). But the sound was good!

The Dell M115HD 1-Watt audio output is not enough so I experimented with the internal vs. external speakers. The internal 1-Watt audio is only good in a 12x15 or smaller room. Since I use a 50x50 room size, I have to use external speakers. I recommend using an external speaker system with its own volume control as the 1-Watt may not be enough to drive or sync linearly with USB speakers. Personally, I have connected external speakers to my PC and use the PC audio amplifier instead. I hope this helps.

It is an amplifier and it should work, but I am not sure the output (in Wattage) will be enough to give you sufficient sound volume to fill a room...depends on the speakers and how many you hook up...it is basically a stereo unit and not surround sound and you may have to get some adapters to hook up your laptop output jacks to the input jacks of the amp. If you like it loud, you may want to get a more powerful unit...that's all I know.

Hi it has only one output... its at the front as seen in the pic & its a mini stereo jack... Be mindful that this is an external sound card that gives a higher quality audio with eq options & should allow any output from your laptop or desktop.CJ

Yes, Mam. I currently have mine hooked up to my Dell Desktop. They are connected to an electrical outlet. There 3 connections on the speaker with the volume and tone control. The electric plug for the outlet, small wire with green plug to connect to back of computer, and a small black wire to connect this (right) speaker to the left speaker. If you are looking for good inexpensive speakers, these fit the bill. Of course, if you want a lot of "boom", my suggestion is to use your stereo system. I do not use my computer to enjoy great music. Wouldn't be able to concentrate..........lol Good Luck Yes, Mam. I currently have mine hooked up to my Dell Desktop.

This is a bad little speaker! Totally worth the money, and, really convenient. There's a connector that you can purchase for about three dollars to hook into the laptop. Or you could try finding a cord with different sizes on each end. I recommend just getting the little converter, though. Its cheap and useful for more than just this one task. Good luck, toi toi, break a leg (whatever your tradition may be)

Good luck I wish you the best! The speakers do sound great! I just hooked them up to my computer and use them with it.

I connected it to a dell laptop and didn't have any issues. They do have a driver disc included but I didn't need it. It was just plug and play.

Yes. I researched this product on Consumer Reports and it was one of the top rated models. However, Amazon sold me a defective model so I can't comment on the sound quality. Dell sells the same model at a reasonable price.

It depends on how you set it up but yes. I didn't get great sound when I did it that way, with computer speaker, though. Using the same speakers hooked up directly to my laptop gives much better sound.

Go to xotcpc.com and read the user review of this laptop (N61JQ-A1). She says she bought it for the advertised great sound but was disapointed and had to hook up her Logitech speakers. With the external speakers, she said it was fantastic sound.

I found this review; it's not Dell-specific but I'm looking for a laptop with loud speakers, since they are usually so disappointing. My tiny smartphone has louder volume than my current Asus laptop.http://blog.laptopmag.com/best-sounding-notebooks-good-enough-to-be-your-stereo
