Presently have a pair of small Bose speakers with their own volume control connected to my desktop computer for listening to music and watching movies. At maximum volume the sound level, in particular when watching movies is not loud enough for other...

I don't think that's a good idea because if you want a louder sound wouldn't you get a speaker with more watts...you can amplify sound but if the speaker dosen't have enough watts it wont ever sound clear or loud enough....just my opinion

I wouldn't recommend it for music if you want loud, but I haven't had any issues with movies or TV. I have mine in in our living room and it's perfect. I have a Definitive 5 speaker system in my basement for when I want to really get immersed in a movie though.

Sorry, I can not help you, it was a gift for my great nephew. At the time I printed one of the reviews regarding the volume setting, since that was the only troublesome issue. Look in the reviews for guidance. Good luck!

It's much better than the internal speakers on a laptop or on an iMac. These are great for the price, but if you want much better sound, then I would go with some Bose add on computer speakers.

You can adjust both the volume on your device and the volume on the speakers. Of course you will be limited by the volume you set on the speakers...

I'm using them as front stereo speakers with a subwoofer in my living room. I use them for stereo music and we use them when watching movies. They should be plenty loud. You'll have to find the right balance with them if you are using a center channel. Otherwise they will work fine. I have these and an 8 inch Yamaha subwoofer and it fills the room with sound during music and movies.

The built-in speakers are "tinny" . . . No bass . . . I like music, so I have Bose speakers, one on each side of the screen. Sorry!

There is no volume control on these headphones. I use with my laptop while watching movies, TV,etc. RK

The sound amplification is good considering the size of the speaker but I doubt it will be loud enough for what you are planning on using it for. A bose speaker might be better suited

The actually volume control needs to be done by your device. The Aiptek just has 2 input settings. Its a handy device to have and a good value for what it costs. Its not going to replace a larger speaker.

Might be a little too much for that. I guess in the end it depends on how you are going to drive them. I have always used self powered speakers for computer use.

Yes you can have both the speakers and the headset on at the same time, and set each to different volume levels. It can come in handy when one person likes to hear the movie loud and the other listener/s don't.

You can not only listen to but control your own level of sound without effecting his volume choice. Don't know the answer to your second question. My mother loves her headphones

I have hooked a monitor up to my laptop to watch Netflix and have the above speakers connected to my laptop for the sound. In my office the sound is good and I listen to my iTunes as well. These certainly are not loud speakers nor meant for a large room.

No, there is no volume control on the speakers. You control the volume at the computer, same as you control the volume of other sounds on the computer.

I don't think it was designed for that. However, there is an output for headphones with volume control. Perhaps small speakers would work via the headphone connection.

And How! I have to keep it at a fairly low volume to listen comfortably at the computer which means no distortion and great sound. I couldn't stay in the living room if I turned it way up! Nice inexpensive speakers!
