Does this speaker work when wired to a laptop. What connections are required; e.g., audio jack, USB cable, etc.? Will it do the same thing wireless?

It can connect with a laptop using a mini-jack (1/8) cable, if the laptop is a mac you can connect wirelessly using airplay. If the laptop is a PC you can connect trough iTunes OR using third party app like Airfoil for windows.

It has an AUX in jack which can use your headphone output. You can also play to it wirelessly using Apple AirPlay from iTunes on windows or mac. There are also AirPlay software available to play from other sources wirelessly (windows media, pandora, etc)

Wireless system is compatible with Macs and only if Art another operating system used aux system

I don't know about wireless outdoor speakers. I use it for wired outdoor speakers.

yes it works, however, I have gone through 3 sets of wires/jacks that hook up to the laptop due to the connection and wire going bad. The speakers are good and sound great, but this is not ideal for a computer that will be moved around a lot like my laptop. The next set I buy will have Bluetooth capabilities. This set would be better for a desktop computer.

As long as the laptop has Bluetooth connectivity it should work fine. As an alternative the speaker has a wired connection that could be plugged into the headphone jack if Bluetooth didn't work

Dear Bernhard,Thanks for your inquiry. You can use a USB cable to stream if you are connecting to an Apple computer or laptop. If it is not Apple, you have the option of connecting through the headphone/speaker output jack of your laptop directly into an amplifier, or using the Bluetooth feature in your laptop and sending the audio signal wirelessly into a Wireless /Bluetooth DAC. Let me know if I can help answer any additional questions!Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

I'm not entirely sure. I do know that it has Bluetooth, and you can connect to it with your laptop -- the stereo works like a "passive" Bluetooth device, like a mouse, keyboard, or speakers. I've done this with my laptop, and it worked just fine. I think the difficulty with your task is that the stereo would need to initiate and control the pairing with the headphones, and I'm not sure this can be done. I don't have wireless headphones, so I can't give that a try.

No. All the speakers in this set are wired. I currently have the next system that has wireless and it falls way short of my expectations. If you want great sound, stay wired

This speaker will work on a pc which has an available USB port. If it is for a pc, I would not suggest its use. I purchased this to enhance a laptop and it works fine for that. The speaker does not give a 'fulfilling' sound. For a pc, I would definitely suggest a couple desktop speakers, because in my opinion you would be much more satisfied with those especially due to a separate outside power source. These can be had for (probably) not more money than this one costs. The difference in the two would be huge for listening. The Z205 is great for travel portability and laptop enhancement, nothing more. This speaker will work on a pc which has an available USB port. If it is for a pc, I would not suggest its use.

Can't figure out why the speaker is recognized by my laptop and then automatically goes into offline mode. The blue light continuously flashes but the speaker will not work with the laptop.

I suspect not as the speaker works exclusively with Bluetooth enabled devices. Unless your laptop is equipped with Bluetooth, this will not work.

Your question is confusing. This speaker has a USB cord on it, and that will require a USB port on the device you will attach it to to hear sound.

It does not support wireless hook up. You can buy a wireless speak kit like Rocketfish™ - Universal Wireless Rear Speaker Kit. I used this and works great. easy to setup..

I have these speakers and no, they are not wireless. I have no idea why it says that as that would be very misleading. Hardwired only.

Hi! This Sony Wireless Speaker system doesn't support connection of a wired headphones. It doesn't have any headphone jack. -Ely

I have not tried to pair the portable speakers to a laptop but as long as you have the proper wi-fi set up or hard wire connections, there should be no problems.

You should be able to use the speaker with any computer by plugging it into the headphone jack. You would have to determine if your computer has wireless capabilities to use it that way.
