Are these speakers compatible with Kindle Fire use, and do they require a separate power source ?

I have no knowledge of Kindle Fire, have never used it, but the speakers do have a separate power cord and need to be plugged into a D.C. outlet.In my set up it's a power strip.

Hello John. The speakers have a standard, stereo, micro-plug. Yes they need to be plugged into household current and are equipped with the necessary power converter.

They definitely need to be plugged in to a typical 120V outlet to operate. I don't have a Kindle Fire, but the "jack" on the speakers is pretty standard and would probably work with the Kindle.

I don't have a Kindle Fire, but the answer is probably yes. All it needs is a 3.5 jack. No setup. Just plug it in.

It is compatible, but can only connect via a 3.5 mm audio cable (sold separately) or bluetooth, as these are the only connections the Kindle Fire has. The NFC function is only available via NFC-capable devices, such as select newer android devices. I bought two of these speakers (one black & one pink) for me and my son to use with our Samsung Galaxy phones. He has the S3 Mini and I have the S4, both equipped with NFC (Near Field Communication). They work perfectly with our phones via NFC. The audio quality for the speakers themselves is pretty good, as to be expected with Creative Labs, BUT you have to also take into consideration the audio capabilities of the device you're using it with. If you use it with a high-quality phone, such as the Galaxy S4 or S5, or plugged into a good computer (like my Alienware), then you're going to have great a great audio experience. But if you use it with an older device, such as an older cell phone or mp3 player, or an older model tablet/computer, the audio quality won't be as good. Your audio settings run off the SOURCE device, NOT the speaker.

Yes! You just need to use an mini audio line to connect the two devices (our Kindle Fire is about 8 months old and doesn't have bluetooth). The sound is great!

I don't know about the Kindle Fire, but I use it with my Kindle 3 and it works great!! I obviously use it for Audible books on my Kindle, not music, but it has great sound quality. I have to turn the volume on my Kindle up completely and then I just adjust the radio volume from there. I also use it with my Motorola Electrify to get the sound through my radio instead of using a Bluetooth device. I really love that capability!! Pretty amazing little plug-in for the price.

I don't own a Kindle Fire, but it works great with my iPad. If your Kindle is blue tooth compatible, then YES, this little speaker is great.

Hi Philip C,This headphones supports both standard and mini plug. Please check the headphones port in your kindle Fire. Thanks. >Joffrey

If you can plug your Kindle into earphones or other speakers, you can plug it into these. You do need a power source, but it doesn't have to be a computer. You can plug it into a USB wall plug also, or any USB power source.

These are not powered speakers, they need to be connected to a receiver or amplifier. If you wanted to use these with a computer you would first need to connect the pc's audio output to an amplifier.

I just paired them with the new/current 7" HD and am viewing a Poirot episode. They sound great. Make sure that the speakers do not pair with another device when you are trying to pair the Fire. I couldn't pair mine, and then realized they had auto-connected with my phone when I turned them on. I turned off Bluetooth on the phone, turned the speakers off and back on, and then pressed the pairing prompt on the Fire screen. After the initial pairing, the speakers connect and play automatically as long as the Fire's Bluetooth has not been turned off.

I don't have a kindle fire but I can't imagine that they wouldn't work. It's just a headphones jack (the smaller 1/8" kind, not the giant 1/4'' kind) and so it will plug into anything-- a stereo, an iPhone, an mp3 player, etc. I just checked my husband's kindle (a paperwhite, not a kindle fire) and it has the kind of plug that would work with these headphones.

unless the Kindle Fire has a headphone jack that's not 3.5mm, standard min-headphone, there's no reason they wouldnt.

I am not sure about Kindle but, would think it is. I'm not real tech savy but believe it will work. There is a short 4 inch cord permanently attached to the little speaker. I should mention there is a base function on the speaker. I choose this speaker because you can turn off the base sound function to make old music (1920's etc.) sound scratchy and hallow. This is my second one and I swear by this particular speaker. AND, I really liked the price.

Yes, absolutely. Kindle fire HD has Bluetooth, so you can connect wirelessly to this speaker (or you can connect via wire if you want...both options work with the kindle fire hd)

You can use it for your gateway laptop, but not for kindle fire because it needs to have USB, so you can plug-in this mini speaker.

Yes, these are 3.5 mm audio jack, which is what the kindle fire hd has. Should note that most ear buds are 3.5 mm.
