@Gustavo: Yes. Any amplified speakers, such as these, are made specifically to be used with non-amplified sources (i.e., virtually non-amplified). That would include any personal computer, iPods and other MP3 players, and frankly, anything with a headphone jack. They are still called "headphone" jacks since that's what their original use was intended for, and then the speaker companies had an existing and standard sound-out jack to take advantage of. DAMAGE CONTROL: Always be safe the first time you use any new speakers by beginning with the volume controls (on both the source and the speakers) set to low, and gradually increase them.

You definitely can hook them up but if you're after quality stereo sound this isn't the amp you want since it has a mono output. You might want to read about hooking speakers up in series and parallel to get the desired impedance.

These are not a sound system. These are two individual wireless speakers with a wireless unit that accommodates an iPod. There is no way to plug them into anything other than what comes with them. They sound great though.... hope this helps.

Yes because the way you connect them is via the head phone jack on the iPod. There are also red/black inputs at the back of the unit. These are nice speakers that put out pretty good sound.

you can. There is an input in the back which has RCA connector. Through a cable I bought on Amazon I often will plug my phone (non-iphone) and computer into these speakers.

Not at all if you want to enjoy what's on your ipod more. They help make music more enjoyable to me by allowing me to hear things I don't hear through normal speakers.

Not directly. These are not powered speakers. You need to connect these speakers to an amplfier. Turntable + Amplifier + Speakers = Good times :)

Hi, I have these connected to my MacBook Pro laptop. But the think I really love is that I also discovered they could be connected to my iPod nano! So far I am really pleased with the sound and quality.

I have the same system and have no problems playing my ipod through all the speakers. There must be something wrong in your settings for that port? I guess I never changed anything when I hooked up my ipod.

Many speakers Will say if it is either MP3 or IPod Compatible. Some speakers come with a specific IPod connector, but as long as it has an Auxiliary Port it will hook up through the Headphone jack.

Yes you can connect an iPod. You just need a cable to use the AUX input jack (a cable with two male 3.5mm plugs, one at either end). Ideally you would use Bluetooth to connect. If you're not, you could save money by buying a non-Bluetooth boom box.

If your iPod has bluetooth, then it uses Bluetooth for connectivity. If not, it has a mini-plug for an analog connection from the iPod to the speaker but you'd have to buy the proper cable.

Like previous answer, you can't directly plug into an ipod with these. The pots have regular stereo speaker hook ups (your + and - wires). I use mine with a household stereo that has two speakers, I can still use the radio, CD, aux, and tape deck and have it go thru the pots and the stereo systems speakers. I use my mp3 that way, aux jack on my stereo.

Yes you can! There are USB Bluetooth receiver adapters that will work. Also, there are several Bluetooth receivers that will plug into the auxiliary port or even to the stereo RCA inputs. So, you have 3 different inputs that will support a less than $30 Bluetooth adapter. I bought an Auvio one on Amazon for $9.99 that plugs into the end of the IPOD cable this speaker came with and the other end into the usb input. Works great!!!!

Yes you can. Use a basic male stereo rca R/L and a mini 3.5mm to plug into you ipod

If they are going to be used with Bluetooth, they would have to be connected to a power source/receiver/system with Bluetooth capability. These are speakers only and are not a self contained system that you could make a Bluetooth connection to directly. The same applies to non Bluetooth applications - they need to be connected to something to power them/push the sound through them. Mine are connected to my sound system that is part of my main audio/video setup

You can connect straight to speakers but you willget better sound quality if you connect to an amplifier. Hope this helps :)
