Are these powered speakers?

No separate power cord necessary for these speakers. They are powered through the audio cables I have two and use them with a sound board. I have run my laptop through that board for music as well as doing outdoor movie night. They sound great.

No they're not powered by 110v electric. They are just hooked into the power amp. They use a 1/4 in jack plug.

There is no power cord for these speakers. It draws its power from the speaker wire into the amp.

yes...but also battery. however, we ended up returning them. they just didn't have the sound quality my dad was looking for. he place the native american flute. we ended up buying a Roland CUBE-15XL amp. ultimately we were looking for something as lightweight and small as possible to easily transport around, but still have good quality sound. the roland is GREAT!

As others have answered, these are just passive bookshelf speakers. If you're interested in powered speakers, a more worthwhile category for you to browse would be active monitors. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=active%20monitors

These speakers are not active and do not require electrical power. They have only one speaker wire input.

Yes!These speakers are powered by the subwoofer or the amp (depending on your system) not directly by the wall power source.

Theses are passive speakers meaning they don't have an internal power source, most of their speakers doAnd are meant for computer applications. The onkyo has plenty of power to drive these

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 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.

These are standard 500 watt 8 ohm PA speakers. You will need an external amplifier to use them. These are not powered. I have had really good luck with these speakers.

The speakers are powered by 110v house current, or it also has provision for batteries (that I have never used). They work well on house current.

No, these are not self-powered speakers. They need some sort of amplification.

No. They are internal speakers. I can hear the music, but the sound is not clear. It is fuzzy.

The speakers are powered. All you need is an audio source. Computer, TV, MP3 player, etc.

They are not powered though you will need an amp.....and the have no low end its all highs and mids... youll need a bass speaker to even out your sound... I also have a powered 15 bass speaker together sounds great

They are powered. You hook them up to a computer audio out much like any other speaker.

They are passive speakers, which means that they are unpowered and you need an external AMP/AV receiver to power them.

I answered 'yes' by mistake - it is not necessary, so there is no confusion. The speakers are self powered, you simply need to plug them in from the speaker with the power cord to a 110 outlet.
