The connector besides the USB connector shown on the Amazon website...what is that for and does it have to be connected for these to work?

My experience is the same as Jacky's. I don't use mine with a laptop so can't comment on that. My headphones work fine without anything related to the speakers as I plug them into a USB port on my CPU.

yes it has to be connected for these speakers to work. Simply plug it into any headphone jack of the same size, and you have noise to the speakers. You can even plug the USB plug into any USB port, for power, and, then plug the headphone jack into a phone, or similar device and whammo, you have noise to the speakers.

It's a sound cable. Most computers should have a little hole, sometimes colored green, where you plug it in to be able to hear the sound. It's a fairly small hole, depending on your computer it should be in the front, side, or back of your computer.

The cable has a typical male connector on one end and a smaller USB "doghouse" male connector on the other end. Look at your devices to see if the ports resemble this description!

I'm sorry, but I have no clue. The USB plug worked fine for me. Perhaps it is defective.

this is a bluetooth device and thus requires drivers, it will not function before the operating system loads. the included usb adapter requires a usb port or a port on a connected hub. check your operating system for compatible driver availability. short answer is "it depends on your OS."

Pop the USB end off them and use this:http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008YOFLXU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid;=3FW43KUZDI219&coliid;=I30EFEZFQCBUG8

The usb connector should have been in the bottom of the shipping box. It threw me off, too. If not, look for a miniUSB to USB cable.

I believe they will work with older USBs. There is nothing in the material that came with it that specifies anything other than USB....no numbers listed. So I'm assuming it will work with older USBs. Only problem sometimes is the connector shape or size...but you can always get adapters if that doesn't fit.

Mini USB, Micro USB, and Apple Products. If you dont have that connection, it will NOT work! Also, these are straight junk and will stop working from 5 min to 5 days each. Buy at your own risk!

You are correct. This accessory only works on one type of USB that is not on any HP product. Their website does not state that. I had to do many hours of research to find out and ended up with a two hundred dollar piece of crap. Sorry it happened to you.

I bought a USB micro adapter that allows connection with standard USB. Be sure to order "micro" and not "mini", as they are not the same.

It's a USB connection for both. Neat too because they aren't the typical black colored cord for electronics; they're more of a tan color.

No USB plug-in to my knowledge. Not sure where that idea came from as there is no mention of it on the information shown.

Hey Angry... They connect to one another with the goofy and cumbersome round plug that is built in. It works fine as long as you don't mind looking at the big, goofy connector. Hope this helps.

Yes, open the device, check the connectors in side, possibly are not making good contact, are equal to the normal USB connector cables.

It will work USB wise, but directionally I am unsure. I've never seen port on the new ones.

I believe the USB is for the power connector not for data input. The data input connects through the optical input jack.
