Does anyone know if these speakers have something built in so that it doesn't interfere with other electronic devices used on the desk?

Don't know what thing would be built in but I've had these speakers for years and in fact have two pair that I use in both my offices- one pair being on the desk and I've never had any interference with my wireless accessories or anything else.

They are Magnetically Shielded Speakers - so they should NOT cause eletronic interference.

depending on the size of the speakers, they will fit on the top of the desk. My Honey, has small speakers that fit right beside the monitor on top of desk. And the top is compromised, because the keyboard doesn't fit on the pull out drawer. The reason being for that, is because he has a split keyboard, and it is higher than the regular ones.

The speakers themselves do not. They do have the possibility for an attachment on the back for install. I myslef isntalled two of them (souraound on the sides) using Definitive Technology Pro-Mount 90 - Pair (Black) purchased from Amazon. Great and the speakers have been installed for almost a year now and no hasles to report.

No, but you can buy POST test mini-speakers real cheap here on Amazon. Search for "pc speaker internal" fo lots of choices.

They use special jacks for the speaker cables. Plus, I think the power output is made for those small speakers, so adding more speakers is not going to add any more sounds.

Karen, I think the design of these speakers are only for certain volume (major use is laptop). That is why the speaker power / volum is not designed so loud considering laptop use (most of the time) is in public area. My suggestion is that if you need more power for the speakers use the set that goes with power sub-woofer is the only way.Thanks,Thuc

I have the same question and there isn't a clear answer with rationale. Can anyone chime in on this? My speakers are not USB powered. They have a dedicated power supply.

We have two - one on my computer and one on my daughter's at the next desk. Mine is plugged in my computer and hers is plugged into her computer. They do not interfere with each other at all. :)

Unfortunately not. Those are powered from the computer itself, these have an external ac port and a speaker plug (3.5mm or whatever the standard is now)

They are very clear but probably not practical for workstations. Other alternatives out there. Look at some Bluetooth speakers. That's what I use and very happy with.

My son has his Rokit speakers right next to (almost touching) his ASUS monitor with no issues what so ever. I ran them next to my HP monitor for a short time with no issues. Hope this helps.

Don't know. But nowadays, most of the speakers or nearly all, can plug into all kinds of laptops and other devices, I believe. They're pretty standard, the ports, something like that.

I have purchased two of these. Had no problems as they work great. Try to remove the speaker further away from the computer. I found that clipping it on the laptop the sound was not good, but moving the speaker a little way from the computer made the sound more clear. Also, make sure there are no other electronic devices close by - like cell phone, or some other kind of receiver/transmitter.

These are not computer speakers. That means that they need an amplifier (such as a receiver) to be used with the computer.

I have two sets of this particular speaker system. Mine work great!Hmmm, don't tell anyone okay? I did a dumb thing and my speakers wouldn't work! So I order new ones...same brand.Look at the bottom part of your monitor (screen). There is a little icon for "speaker" on the lower right side of your computer screen.By accident, I turned my speakers off. I thought there was something wrong with my old Logitech speakers. So? I ordered more. Guess what! There was absolutely nothing wrong with my old speakers BUT! These are much more clear and the volume is louder.I couldn't be happier.

there are probably speakers out there that use the earphone jack. You might look at computer or iPad speakers

No, but since it is an auxiliary monitor, you really should rely on the speakers from the unit to which it is attached.
