I have them connected to my RCA tv using the USB and headphone connections. Works great!

You can connect these speakers to a PC the same manner you would connect an Ipod to these speakers. I currently have this running through my computer, and it's pretty good sound. I simply have a stereo to rca cable running from my PC to my receiver, plugged into any of it's audio ports (I used CD), and you are good to go.

If it has a headset jack, then these will work, ie, if you can plug your headphones that you use on your iPod into your mac, then these will work. There is no software involved, no installation, just plug in and listen.

I've used it with a portable XM radio and with a laptop. Great sound with both. Never used them with an IPod.

They'll work with anything that has an earphone jack. If it doesn't have an earphone jack, you might be able to find a cable with RCA connectors on one end and the appropriate jack on the other. After a year of owning these, one of the speakers no longer receives clear reception. The other still seems to work well enough. Also, one of the power supplies has failed. I'm generally disappointed in this purchase. Save your money.

I don't have any problems with mine when using them with my pc, ipod, or stereo.

I use them on my IPAD and they work fine, but with an IPOD, they didn't work. Some seem to work better than others.

I don't believe they do, but I haven't entirely used them for those sorts of things. I only know that they're a microphone, and that they can pause and play songs when plugged into an iPod.

Yes they do work on iPods, iPod touches, and iPhones I personally use them on the iPhone and I have my setting to bass boost and they sound amazing. P.S they have no mic.

Yes. They can be hooked up to the headphone output on a computer. If you want for them to sound better, get an amplifier for them. You will appreciate the increase in power.

You cannot plug these directly to your computer. You can hook these up to a receiver/amplifier and use one of the inputs on the receiver/amplifier to connect the line-out from your computer sound card.

Yes and no. The headphones work fine, but the volume control and switch on the cord do not function. If you don't mind using the Ipod control, then probably no problem.

I use these with an I-phone and I-pod and computer. You'd have to ask the phone manufacturer of their headphone port is compatible with a typical desktop or iPhone jack.

Yes, the cord that plugs into your audio jack on your computer doubles over for an iPod plug in. The speakers also can take the audio plugins from consoles and plug into the control box.

They have a power cable that will need to plugged in, then they have a speaker cable that goes from left to right. You have a 3.5mm input and a set of RCA jacks. They aren't Bluetooth so you won't pair them with an iphone directly but there is a power plug on the back that you could put an apple airplay into and run the 3.5 from it. I use them as computer speakers and they are pretty phenomenal.

They do not work on mine. I've hooked it up with the headphone input and now with the digital audio out. If you use a component hook up, you may get sound from both.
