Hi! Anybody who bought these speakers to connect them to a keyboard? Any shared experience is greatly appreciated.

I haven't priced stereo stuff in 40 years but these are really not that good and I would buy stereo speakers. The am/fm built in radio is less quality than the old transistor radio with the 9 volt battery--That's my feeling anyway

These speakers are great I just made a mistake and bought them used and they were falling apart by the time I opened the package

You can pretty much connect these speakers into anything as long as you connect it to a headphone jack. Works well with laptops, television, and desk top computers. I'm very happy with these speakers, they work very well!

I agree with the other comment. If possible, pair with another device to ensure that it is not the speakers. I love these speakers :>

They worked for awhile with my Macbook Pro but for some reason they stopped working. I ended up buying a Bose wireless speaker and am very happy with it.

I really wish I could help but. We ordered these and they never came. We ended up going with a different set of Polk Audio speakers like the ones we already had. Sorry. :(

I can't connect them either. Instead, I removed the USB from my Windows tablet and attached it to the keyboard. Next, I set up my tablet for Bluetooth. Then I pressed the "fn" and "E" keys (for Windows) the same time. The tablet and keyboard are connected via wi-fi.

how do I connect these speakers to a turntable that has a RCA connection. Do I need to splice that cable and use speaker wire for the connection? I also just found out I will need to get an amp.

Yes, Mam. I currently have mine hooked up to my Dell Desktop. They are connected to an electrical outlet. There 3 connections on the speaker with the volume and tone control. The electric plug for the outlet, small wire with green plug to connect to back of computer, and a small black wire to connect this (right) speaker to the left speaker. If you are looking for good inexpensive speakers, these fit the bill. Of course, if you want a lot of "boom", my suggestion is to use your stereo system. I do not use my computer to enjoy great music. Wouldn't be able to concentrate..........lol Good Luck Yes, Mam. I currently have mine hooked up to my Dell Desktop.

In regards to SoundSticks being short-lived, I suspect those speakers are being played at a sustained high volume. Remember, these are supplementary computer speakers. I wish someone who had these speakers stop functioning inside the warranty period would give us feedback on how it was handled by Harman Kardon.Thanks.

I used to have these speakers. I set them up with the Rocketfish wireless rear speaker kit as well. I have since upgraded speakers but still use the Rocketfish.

You would need to attach (by way of solder, or just elec tape) the appropriate leads to match the input of your computer. They work very well, and have great bass response for their size. I have them in the flowerbeds of our backyard, where we spend a good deal of time in the summer. They're used almost daily, and have performed well. Remember... they're sold individually, so be sure to buy two.

Hi, I plugged mine into the USB PORT for power and into the OUTPUT PORT for headphones/speakers and turned them up! That's all. Check to be sure you have the right port for headphones. My Mac laptop has two similar ports, one for input and one for output. The output has a headphone icon. You shouldn't have to do anything else. You can test your output to see if it's the port or the speakers by trying a pair of earbuds or headphones in the port instead. Is there sound? If yes, then it's not the port! Be sure they're plugged into the USB port too. That's about all I can tell you. I sure hope they work! Mine are nice little speakers and when I need to I use them on my Mac because it doesn't have very loud speakers.

I don't have these speakers, I sent them back because they didn't work with my Apple Macbook. Sorry.

If you want a high quality sound you have to use USB which pretty much eliminates any option for a subwoofer connection from what I have found in my research. This is by far the worst part of owning these speakers. I am planning to open the speakers and wire an output from the powered outputs and custom wire an output for a sub due to this glaring deficiency. That or sell the speakers and buy some with a sub output.

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.

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

Hi, I wouldnt recommend these speakers as I found them por quality.Bit if you decide todo buy them and want to conect them together you dont need a mixer. There is an output todo conect the second speaker in cascade. However if you need todo mix your audio before send it to the speakers, you need to specify your aplication...
