Using these headphones for listening to music plugged into my home stereo. Will they work for this? Also the cable seem really short. Can you replace it?

Yes. If you need a longer cable, get an extension. These are available at any good electronics store.

Best headphones I've owned beautiful warm sound. Perfect to plug into home system. Cord cannot be replaced. Go get a pair! They are that good

You can plug them into the aux and they will work. Check out the cords section and get a 1/8 in plug that splits to a left and right channel. They should be available on Amazon in the electronics department.

I found a forum where they say you can use a Radio shack Stereo Headphone Cable, 1/8" Jack to 1/8" Plug. Haven't tried it myself but it may work for you. If it doesn't you could probably return it. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/post/23136185

Yes they will. They are 3.5mm. I use them on my phone and MP3 player as well as my computer. They are great sounding. They are not very durable though. I've had to electrical tape the head band on the ones I've owned. But they are great headphones for the money. Happy listening.

They should with out a problem. They are designed as normal headphones not for a specific device.

Of course, just be aware that the cord that comes with the headphones is extremely small. You will have to buy an extension wire. Regardless, I wouldn't use these primarily for smartphones or other portable devices and would keep it as a home theater setup.

Sure if your stereo system has a 3.5mm jack (a headphone jack) slot. However, if you plan on using this just for your home stereo system, I'd not recommend these. I'd rather buy a Bayerdynamics tesla series or Sennhieser HD series headphones. Those headphones come with all accessories because they are meant to be used as headphones for your home stereo system.Go to http://www.head-fi.org/ and it's an internet community for audiophiles by audiophiles.

I can't confirm it but they are standard headphones so I don't suppose that they won't work. Hope this is helpful.

I think the cords are short because they expect that the headphones will be used with portable music players. I have several extension cords that I use in other listening situations. Remember one of the cords has a remote control for iPhone etc. with a microphone. Also the cord can attach to either side for convenience in portable use. Who wants to walk around with 20 feet of cord rolled up in your pocket?

I just received a pair, and wrote about it here before I saw this. Your story sounds just like mine. Sound is terrible. I wrote Amazon about it. I guess I'll see what they (Amazon) are made of. As what to do. Send them an email. Look for "Contact Us" on one of the help pages.

They are fine if you have them on a computer desk, too short for anything else, that's my one gripe about this system and they use proprietary cables I have just bought the Harmon kardon sound sticks w woofer and they sound fantastic and give you plenty of cable

I don't know if the headphones can be used with a stereo for certain but it should. If it works with a TV it should work with anything that has a headphone jack. However, I threw my set away because they were cheap and would not work properly. I could only get them to work when the plug was half-way in and of course they kept falling out, losing contact and they were completely disappointing. Perhaps if you could find a more reliable brand. They are a great idea and I was hoping that these would work. )-:

They work like any other headphones, As long as it has a port for it they will work :)

Yea they would be fine but the cord may be alittle short so just get a cord exstender, besides that, they sound and feel great!

Try them out on an Ipod, or phone or anything else that takes a standard headphone. If it still doesn't work, it's the headphones, return them, if it does, it's something on his laptop.

Don't insert headphones. The impedance won't be correct. There weren't speaker cables included in mine. Sorry!
