The ad had me a bit confused. I have a few questions: -These plug into the computer using usb? -What is the driver for? -How durable are these?

Yes they plug into a USB port on a computer. The driver is used so that your computer can use the device to produce sound. They are also quite durable. I haven't had any problems so far and I play a lot of CoD AW. They are very comfortable as well.

They are standard plugs you have 2 one for voice and the other for speakers. No USB

I spoke of the basic's of this driver in an earlier post. Briefly: it is not particularly powerful.If you are a seldom user of this sort of driver, I'd suggest doing it the old fashioned way; BY HAND.

The usb is simply for power. You need to plug them into the headphone jack for it to produce sound.

Works great with windows 7...I used them with my laptop, but now only use them as wireless speakers with my smartphone or tablet. The actual dongle that transmits the signal isnt that strong, but I dont use that. Just pair them with a device and thats it, and they sound great.

Gosh - it's been so long I don't remember having drivers for the device itself. Just printer drivers. There was software to find & configure the device and create the "fake" USB ports, although I remember it having a web UI as well if the UNC shares was good enough. The "fake" USB ports connection had a limitation where it didn't handle large files very well. This thing was tied to Windows XP and just didn't work well that I tossed it in the trash years ago when I stopped using XP. To sum up - you are looking for the Software that creates the local ports on your PC, then you use the Printer drivers for the printer. But you can also access the device via File Shares (UNC) which doesn't require the software. Gosh - it's been so long I don't remember having drivers for the device itself. Just printer drivers.

Data and charging. I will add they aren't the sturdiest cables. The mini USB cable lasted only 6 mo, but I used it often. The micro and 30 pin I use less often but I learned to be gentle when pulling them out. The are holding up so far.

Driver is so you can edit sound from your pc. You dont need it to use them, but you can tweak the sound.I have had mine for a couple months, and they are in perfect condition with daily use. (4-5h per day)They do plug in using USB, so no need for audio jacks.

Hello!!! I have bought two of them for my friends... they are working OK. Bye!!

Yeah, that's what I use is windows 8. Plug them in, and you will have to restart your computer, then they work fine.

Yup. I use them frequently with my PC. Just plug the USB and microphone jack in and you are good to go.

When I plugged mine into my Win 7 PC the drivers were automatically downloaded. It did take a couple of minutes of searching before Windows found them but I didn't have to do anything myself. I don't know where to find the drivers if Windows can't find them for you.

I actually had problems with these. I bought two, and neither will charge. I don't know if I somehow got the wrong ones, or if it was a laptop issue. From the research I did it sounds like it has to do with my laptop drivers. I tried a few things I found online to try to fix it, but eventually just gave up.

You should be able to hear something no doubt. But these type of headphones and up usually benefit from an external amp or interface. I currently use an old alesis usb2.0 interface (100$new) and its perfect for these as an external driver. You can find something like that (usb2.0 external audio interfaces) all over amazon for $20+ maybe even less.

They should be compatible with any computer that has a USB port. Brand doesn't matter in this case.

Hello, I have had a number of these players and like them a lot. For an older style they do very well. Not sure if it comes with a USB cable...but they are easy to get. As for music when they are charging, these use a battery so no need to worry about charging. :-)

I've had the same experience. The quality varies greatly from unit to unit and the USB connection is a big problem and is usually the first thing to quit working. My advice is, if you like the 1129 return it for one that is fully functional. Otherwise ask for a refund. Keep in mind that the average functioning lifespan on these units (I've had more than a few) is limited to months, not years.
