Are these speakers compatible with Mac Anyone know if these are compatible with a Mac G4 Ibook? Thank you in advance!

Parrott just confirmed Nikwax's statement. They are Mac compatible. Way to take it personally and get a little nutty there.

Nikwax lies...these are not compatible with mac books, they work with ipod's like a dream! however they are terrible if you want sound from your mac

sure, any speaker or headphone with a standard plug will work with your iBook.

Sorry, but no. The speakers get their power from a powered USB port on the connected device. There's two cables that come from the speakers - one is a USB connector that plugs into the PC or Mac for power and the other is an audio connector that plugs into the headphone jack of the PC or Mac. I bought these speakers to connect to a used Mac that had no audio to the speakers (but still had headphone audio) and they work great. Unlike the iPad Mini, the Mac has a powered USB port.I suppose you could try connecting the USB connector of the speakers to a USB charging plug, but I don't know if that will work and that seems inconvenient for a mobile device like the iPad Mini.

I don't have a Mac myself, but I do know that these earphones worked on my sister's Macbook Pro. Hope this helps!

I don't have a Mac Book but I only use it for my phones. I have dedicated speaker's for my pc. But I can't see why it wouldn't connect. That's what it does.

Amazon asked me to help, however we use the Mac Book Pro and the speakers work well. I would contact Apple to see if they fit the Air Mac. We did not buy the Airs because they did not offer the same connecting ports

Hello mate, same story with the mac I'm afraid, I have a couple of macs too, may sound a tad bit better but does not power the drivers adequately. I run mine through an audio interface in my studio, Focusrite Saffire 40, this has headphone amps with volume controls and powers the just fine. If you really want to enjoy these headphones, you do need good headphone amps. I also use them to monitor sound into my Zoom H4N in which do have a small headphone amp on them

I think they will. I use 'em with my MacBook Pro 15", and I cart it around with me while I'm doing chores - kitchen, bathroom while I shower, bedroom while I get ready for work, etc. I'm usually either listening to podcasts or watching Netflix while doing this stuff, and I don't have the volume up that high, and I can hear everything just fine. I work in a loud warehouse environment, and I took these to work with me one day to see how they'd fare hooked up to my mobile workstation, and again, I didn't have them turned all the way up, and I could hear my music just fine on Pandora and Spotify.

Don't understand why you mention the headphone jack...don't these speakers work without headphones? I'm looking for a way to boost the sound of my macbook pro so I can work with music from my macbook pro in a studio and hear it.

They sound good beside an iMac, so I assume if you balance them correctly, they'll sound good on one too.

Yes, these would work with either Mac or PC. Download a Mac template from Avery's site.

Do not have Mac. Will not venture a guess. I use on a Desktop PC. They're wonderful. Great sound.

I dont know about mac support at all. But i have yamaha hs6 monitors and a krk 10s sub, so I have a descent guage of sound quality. I would give them like a 6.5/10 sound quality wise. They sound fine, bass is good but you can peak them out so they sound like garbage easy.

This seems like a loaded question to me :-) I am presuming standard hardware and software configuration, no advanced custom config, then there is no such things as a Mac or a PC speaker. You just need to make sure you have standard audio outputs and connect them and have power. BTW, they are good speakers for the money.

Hi Jess.. Yes there is some problems regarding connection, but i'll manage to use them any way even thoug they sometimes "Fall off" but you can use a mini Jack to connect to your Mac or what ever.. The Sound is oudstanding!!

I am not sure if they will work in a MAC but they come unformatted and need to be formatted before use. I would GUESS that they would work in a MAC.
