will these speakers WORK WELL with a MacBook Pro

They should work with any computer with a USB and as Nathan said they are a good value for $25.

They work just fine with my MacBook Pro. The sound is good, but not as loud as my previous speakers (can't remember the name).

"Work well" is a subjective concept when it comes to sound. They will work to their fullest potential with a MacBook Pro, and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the sound quality for $25 speakers.

I see no reason why not. They fit my PC jack as well as my Macbook. Hope that helps.

I don't have a Mac myself, but I do know that these earphones worked on my sister's Macbook Pro. Hope this helps!

Do not have Mac. Will not venture a guess. I use on a Desktop PC. They're wonderful. Great sound.

I am having the same problem with my macbook pro! Whether I plug in these speakers or not (use the ones already on my laptop) there is no difference in sound at all! I came on here for the same reason, to find out if anyone knows what to do about this.

NoWhile I'm sure they sounded better than other headphones you've heard, they weren't at even close to their full potential. These headphones require 300ohms to be properly powered, which you MBP won't do. I would highly suggest picking up a amp + DAC combo so you can power these cans to open up the soundstage and let the details of music shine through. If you're looking for a good pair to plug straight into your MBP, I would highly suggest checking out the HD-598's as they are low impedance and can easily be powered by the computers native sound card.

I have never used MacBook. However as long as I searched with Google, it seems you can connect the speakers to the audio (headphones) output. You should try to search by yourself too.

Don't understand why you mention the headphone jack...don't these speakers work without headphones? I'm looking for a way to boost the sound of my macbook pro so I can work with music from my macbook pro in a studio and hear it.

Hello Barbara, they will if the MacBookPro has a 3.5 earphone inlet. The procedure is to plug in the supplied adapter cord into the Phiaton unit, then to the MacBookPro etc.

I returned my speakers ... they were not loud enough; the internal speakers on my MacBook Pro were louder/better. Then I learned that I could use the speakers from the TV directly for my Netflix streaming needs and so am now very happy.

I'm not sure (I'm a PC user) but if you can plug standard headphone or earbuds into your MacBook, you'll be good to go. You will also have to plug the speakers into a standard 110v outlet for power. Great sound btw.

I have a new HP desktop and the speaker set-up works fine. I would think you'd like it with your MAC. The bass is excellent and my system has the "beat" system.

You would need to go from your mac into a power amp or a stereo and then into the speakers.You can buy some inexpensive amps that would work great from http://www.parts-express.com/These speakers are great everyone who has heard them are blown away by how good they sound.

This seems like a loaded question to me :-) I am presuming standard hardware and software configuration, no advanced custom config, then there is no such things as a Mac or a PC speaker. You just need to make sure you have standard audio outputs and connect them and have power. BTW, they are good speakers for the money.

It depends on the computer, I am a PC guy and don't know a lot about Macs. I would check manual and see if it supports audio inline. If so, no extra cables will be necessary!

Yes.. I just tested mine today on my Macbook Pro Mid 2010 running Mavericks and every feature works. These are very comfy headphones. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.
