Are they powered speakers?

Yes, they have a small "power brick" similar to a laptop. The volume that comes out of it is quite loud, and also they would need power no matter what if you were using them for their primary purpose : Airplay.

Yes, according to the Klipsch G-17 specs.....AMPLIFIER POWER: 2 x 20W RMS (woofers) 2 x 10W RMS (tweeters), Bi-Amplified for audiophile resolution.This is the link to their site: http://www.klipsch.com/gallery-g17-air

Yes, they are. You cannot run them passively, though I don't know why anyone would want to. Anyways, it is both a "plug and play" and an airplay audio solution.

No they do not. These are at least bookshelf speakers - they have a large footprint.

The are connected to a wire. There is a external amp that you plug in and the speakers connect to that.

No, these speakers are outlet plugins with headphone jack connectors. I do not use this system anymore.

The speakers are powered up thru the USB connection to the PC. The plugs that go in back of each speaker have piece of molded plastic that acts like stand to support the speaker.

No. These are speakers that need to be plugged into a stereo with speaker wire.

They're wired via a 2 3.5mm audio 'jacks' (one for mic and one for headphones), so technically powered by the audio source (be it a mp3 player if audio only or the PC they're connected to etc)

These speakers are not self powered. You will need an amp of some kind to power them. They are good speakers for the price. I like mine.

There non powered regular speakers that need to be powered by a receiver. I have them and they sound great!

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)

No they are not, they are like stereo speakers with little clips on the back that the speaker wires plug into. In the four years I have had these speakers I have had no problems with them.

Sorry, not sure what you mean. They are just ordinary speakers, which we use for one of our small TV's. They are OK for the price.

These speakers are passive, and not powered speakers. You need an amplifier as well as your computer to get sound out of the speakers. If you want to get a pair of powered speakers, then you can just have the computer send a signal to the speakers and they will work. But, you must be able to control the volume level from your computer. Hope this helps.

They will power on as soon as the ports get power. I have them plugged into an active port, so the speakers are on all the time.

These are battery-powered speakers charged by a 5-V power supply. They will not blast you out of the park, but are great on the patio for background music connected to my phone via Bluetooth. If there is a wattage, it would be low, since they will work for about 8 hours on a charge.

No, just regular non powered stereo speakers. Don't sound half bad though especially if there's a sub involved.

They have a power adapter. Unlike some bluetooth speakers, they do not have the option of using battery power.
