Does wired connection through 3.5mm jack still require the headphones be powered? Or can you use cable when you are out of juice? Thanks

As soon as you plug in the 3.5mm jack into the headphones, it intelligently shuts down all powered functionality and converts them to normal headphones. Unplug them, if the switch is still in the powered position, it will flip right back to Bluetooth mode.

My experience is that you should not expect it to work as a wired headset, but you should be able to use while charging.

Simply no there isn't, but it does come with a 3.5mm to 3.5mm aux cable that you can use to plug them into your device without having to use the battery. On the left side of the headphones is the 3.5mm headphone jack to use the aux cable.

NO! The 3.5 mm jack is not a headphone jack. It is a input jack and says "PC IN". It is the only input the system has. I have mine connected to a TV so I can listen though the stereo instead of the crappy TV speakers. No easy way to connect headphones or any after market speakers. Connections are not regular.

They are wired, the cord just plugs into and unplugs from the headphones and whatever you attach it to (like an ipod or a laptop) so you can travel with it or replace it when it wears out. Most cheaper headphones have a cord which is permanently attached (to the headphones part) and when the cord goes, you have to basically just buy a new pair of headphones. Also, I don't recommend these headphones.

These aren't wireless, just lets you change the wire from 3 that comes with it. That's why it shows it disconnecting. They use no more power from your device than basic headphones.

no you can not. there is no headphone connection or internal power supply. you need a 12 volt power source and an fm radio.

I use mine plugged into an electrical outlet, but it comes with a AA battery in the transmitter that can be used for portable use. I cannot verify how well it works, but the battery in the headphones and transmitter should be fully charged for best results.

This unit needs to remain plugged into the audio output or headphones jack of your non-bluetooth equipment in order to pair and receive on whatever bluetooth speaker, headphones, etc. you wish to receive on. If you mean do you need to keep it plugged in for charging it, the answer is no. Once it's charged, it will operate until its charge is used up and then needs recharging.

One side of the headphones has a micro USB port hidden beneath a rubber flap. You have to pry it off gently. The other end of the USB cable can be powered by your computer or a USB charger. The result will be the same.

No. The unit is connected using a 3.5mm (headphone jack-type) plug. This plug is supplied with the unit.

If you have just the cord plugged into the headset it will turn on. You don't necessarily have to have it plugged into an audio source. You will hear a subtle white noise sound, very, very subtle. But only when you arent playing music do you hear it. Often times I will just have the headphones not plugged into my phone just to block noise while I study and its amazing.

Yes, I plugged the headphones directly in using a speaker wire from my computer. But, that defeated the purpose of being wireless. (I think I should have plugged the wire into the transmitter and the stereo speaker jack.)

No because there is no power sent through the RCA cables, just signal. You could however possibly use the RCA output on the 2+'s (must be the 2+'s as the normal A2's don't have RCA output) to connect to a headphone amp, then onto your headphones. That output is variable so your volume at the headphone would be affected by the volume on the speaker, hence the speakers would also be on when you're listening to headphones. Not an ideal situation, just wanted to put out the possibility for the connection. I don't find anything in the specs about a 3.5mm "Output" which would be a very nice feature that I'm suprised they haven't added it.

Great question. It is supposed to work either way but I was only able to make it work through a headphone jack.

I have the IPhone 5C and I have absolutely no problems plugging in headphones, keep in mind I am using the apple headphones that came with the phone.
