Can you listen to your iPod with these speakers? What would you use as your power source with an iPod since I saw there's no traditional power cord?

Since I have been using it with iPhone, I think you can listen to an iPod. However, you need a power adepter, which is not supplied with the speakers. (The ordinary iPhone power adapter works well.) You just connect the usb cable to the adapter as the power source and use the audio cord supplied with the product to connect the speaker and your iPod. Hope it's helpful!

I've looked up your unit and unfortunately I can't say for certain. Mine came with an auxiliary plug and I was able to use it too. The iPod that I had originally worked, but when I ungraded to the iphone 4 and 5 neither would plug in (until I bought an adapter). That said, the speaker is amazing! I do believe that, worse case scenario, you can get an adapter if it doesn't plug straight in.

These speakers should be connected to an amplifier. You can use an iPad as your audio source if the iPad is connected to an amplifier that is then connected to the speakers.

@ M C......i have these on my computer. they connect with a regular mini jack plug to the audio out of the computer sound card. So if you have an 'audio out' on the ipod dock they should work fine for you. the sound quality is very decent as you would expect from Bose.....not their top of the line but still very good.

These are wired, wired is much better for sound reproduction. Your ipod would have to connect to your receiver.

Yes can listen while charging iPod mini, but need headphone or speakers connected

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 they do work. You would need to power the speaker through a USB source. i.e. you may connect to your iphone or ipad and also connectthe power cable to a laptop or the mains (USB output).

You can still charge with the regular cord, but the speaker itself doesn't have the ability to charge. It seems the ones that charge the devices don't allow you to play music unless it is charging. I like to play music while I am working on my iPad.

You need an applifier. You will then plug your iPod into the amp and the amp will drive the speakers.

These speakers require a power source such as an amplifier. I ended up buying a 3 speaker set from Radio Shack that plugged into the head phone jack on sale for $20 bucks. Sounds and works great. I would suggest something like The bullet which I use for my laptop and phone when I use them for music.

These speaker use a normal connection like for your ipod, tablet or mp3 player, if you want to use these speakers for your desktop they will plug in the speaker jack in the back or the headphone jack in the front....they sound great by the way, go ahead and buy them!

YES...These outdoor speakers are powered (outside) using the supplied AC/DC power adaptors.. OR "AA" batteries(if no AC outlets are available). Your iPod's 3.5mm audio output port would connect to the supplied Transmitter with the supplied cable. You power the Transmitter with the supplied AC/DC power adaptor indoors. You can actually charge your iPod using the USB port in the Transmitter with your Apple USB cable. A remote is furnished so you can operate all the speakers functions outdoors.

Use the auxiliary cable (the cord where both sides look the same) provided in the package. Plug one side of the cord into the speaker and plug the other side into the audio port of your ipod (the place where you would plug in your headphones or earbuds). I hope this helps! :)

Nope, these are completely stand alone speakers. You need a reasonable stereo power amp of at least 30W per channel (I use 100W plus equalizer because these speakers sound so lousy) to drive these speakers. Of course, you can plug a 3.5mm jack /dual RCA output cord into the Ipad and your amplifier/receiver, and you'll be good to go.

Yes! I own the 5th generation iPod and it is compatible with the speakers (I have two sets of iCrystal speakers). The speakers unfortunately don't always work if the batteries are fully charged though. I recommend using the power adapter, or slightly drained batteries.

Yes, the cord that plugs into your audio jack on your computer doubles over for an iPod plug in. The speakers also can take the audio plugins from consoles and plug into the control box.
