I don't want to use up a USB port. Will these speakers plug into the earphone jack of my Toshiba laptop?

it should, i plugged my speakers into a headphone jack on the back of my 22 inch monitor to use sound and it works fine. So I'll assume it should do the same

yes, earphone jack, 3.5 mm. In fact, you have even two inputs so you can connect a laptop and something else (I have connected 2 laptops). No USB plugin at all.

I would think that they could be plugged into your earphone jack on your laptop. I can use them plugged into my Nexus android and the sound is very good and sharp.

If you're using the USB, yes. If you're using the headphone jack on your computer for them, no.

I use the USB plug into my computer, but I can also plug earphones in with an earphone jack. They work very well; the sound is very good.

As long as the laptop has a mini-jack for audio out, yes you can hook them up to a laptop.

The plug is not USB. It is 'single pin' to the headphone/speaker port on your computer. Do note, that the speakers do require to be plugged into a wall outlet for power.

You can plug it into your laptop's headphone jack (assuming it has one). However - my laptop has a crappy built-in sound card, so the audio quality was bad. I ended up getting a USB sound card (about $50) and plugged the speakers into that - much better. I'd say try it straight in first and see if you are OK with the sound.

These speakers have an audio jack in, or Bluetooth of your laptop has that function. If nut you can buy a bluetooth dongle for the laptop and use that to connect. Hope that helps.

The answer is no. They work very well on home computer, as well as any output single plug

Hi Donna - from a quick search, there are adapters that exist that will go from 1/8" male to USB (found some on the other popular bidding site that ends in 'bay'). The ads say they will pass audio and power - I've never tried it so I don't know if it actually works. These speakers have decent sound (I've been happy with them), but I'm just using them instead of my laptop's speakers so I'm sitting fairly close to them - I'm not sure how great they'd be with a TV - maybe fine - just not sure.

No. these don't. They work only with the USB of your computer. They are just not loud enough. The others which are also Logitech, do need to be plugged in but they give a good sound output. I hope this helped.

No. These are passive speakers - you can't plug anything directly into them.

Depends, if your tv has a usb port and an audio out plug (for headphones) you should be able to use these speakers. In the description (not too clear) it states that you only need a usb port for these speakers to work. However, in the illustration picture, it clearly shows a usb cable and an audio cord being attached to the computer. I use similar set on my laptop and I must plug in the usb and headphone cables to get sound. I believe their description is not too clear. Perhaps on some computers, you may not have to use the usb and headphone plugs both... However, with my Gateway laptop, I must use both plugs to get any sound. I also have used my similar set of usb powered speakers with other audio and video equipment. I use them with my Sony Dash and an internet radio that has the usb and speaker out plugs built-in. Although these speakers are not audiophile quality, they are much better than listening to the very tiny speakers on some laptops. My Gateway laptop is almost silent without the use of usb powered speakers or earphones. The tiny speakers are almost useless...

As long as you can plug the USB in and the headphone portion in absolutely! I have a Lenovo IdeaPad and they are a huge step up over the stock speakers.

They're passive speakers so you'd need an amplifier between your computer and your speakers. I use an Onkyo 8255 receiver/amplifier, which my computer is connected to (laptop 1/8" jack into RCA jack using an adapter).

They have a standard 3.5mm jack. If your computer has that size receptacle, should work.

Yes. They come with a power cord that plugs into your laptop or phone. Great sound for a small investment.

No you don't. They come with everything needed and plug in directly into the laptop. They have great sound.
