So I want speakers to attach to my iMac so I can actually hear movies I'm watching while on my treadmill... will this do the job well?

I use these with my MacBook pro in a class with 25 students. They work pretty well, depending on what you use to stream movies. When I use Amazon prime movies they sound fine, when I use certain YouTube videos the sound quality is not as great.

They are ok but don't expect any quality sound out of these small speakers. They are really small, almost consider them tiny.

Well, they work very nicely for that purpose on my MacBook Pro, so I assume they would work for you as well.NOTE: If you like your sound turned up to "earthquake" levels, then these aren't the ones for you ...

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.

I bought them for my PC great sound and you can get it very loud. So I would say yes, the sound quality is great!

I like them. They are plugged into my Laptop (Not an Imac), which has a USB next to the speaker jack. They get me rock when it's cranked...

Oh yea they are loud enough i listen to movies and music fills my living room plus the sound is crystal clear.

Yes, as long as you have Bluetooth on the iMac. I use these to play music from my Mac air.

video yes......the sound will have to come from your macbook audio out toexternal speakers.

I have never used MacBook. However as long as I searched with Google, it seems you can connect the speakers to the audio (headphones) output. You should try to search by yourself too.

Yes, it will. I use it on mine. It really doesn't make a big difference and in that respect I don't think it's value for money. It does give it a slightly fuller sound though as the 27inch iMac speakers are good but seem too sharp without enough bass. But it's very clean with no power cable and only one single cable into a USB port on your computer. Compared to speakers that's great. It also works with youtube, iTunes, VLC etc. It works much better with a laptop and the smaller speakers on them. If I had my time again, I wouldn't have bought it for my 27inch iMac. If you got the money and like trying new tech, then go for it and test it yourself though. Yes, it will. I use it on mine.

We use ours as our iMAc's speakers and they work great for everything. A bit overkill for just that purpose, but your music from iTunes will never sound better! :o) We love ours and use them daily for music, video and just for the computer's audio, and of course for recording and mixing which they excel at.

I bought one to work with my iMac, and was disappointed in the sound. It added very little, and wasn't worth the money. I sent it back and got a refund.

You can use a creative sound blaster USB Sound card to adapt on you Mac. It will send the signal to the adapter.

It works with anything that your run through your computer. I play music with media player, from CD, and online with Pandora. I also watch movies with Netflix, Amazon, and on dvd. All sounds that come from your usual computer speaker will come through this speaker, including all sounds your operating system makes. I have been using this with both a mac and a pc. It keeps the memory pairing for up to two devices.

No you have to have a working headphone adapter in order for them to work. The USB just powers the speakers. Now if you go to RadioShack. They have a Bluetooth receiver and as long as ur iMac has Bluetooth then you can use that plus you will have wireless speakers! What you will need from RadioShack is 1. Bluetooth connect by xtrememac 2. 3.5mm female to 3.5mm female coupler3. 1 pack of AAA batteries (the BT connect is small and portable therefore you need batteries) I really hope this helps

I don't know if it works with a Mac, but I don't see why not. If a Mac has a single input hole for speakers, this will work. Mind you, these are not the greatest pair of speakers. They are good for the price, but I would not use them to listen to music.

Can't answer about the Bose specifically, but anything with an earphone outlet will definitely work into the MAC -which I do all the time. Try it, your really can't hurt anything unless you've got everything cranked up all the way. Always start at 1/4 volume level then adjust up to desired listening level.

If you have them hooked up to a receiver you can hook the apple power Mac to the receiver via auxiliary port and it would play through the speakers. I highly recommend theese for the price they're definitely worth it.

One of the A2's has a 3mm audio receptacle on its rear panel (earphone jack) as well as analog L & R audio wire inputs (which can be used with legacy receivers). You plug a double-ended (male) 3mm wire into the master speaker & connect the other end to iMac's headphone out. That should do it.If the A2's are going to sit further than a few feet from the iMac, then acquire a pair of Audioengine wireless (AW3) units for greater flexibility in siting. Audiodengine wireless transmitters work very well actually.

Hi there. The speaker Work in PC and Mac. Problem is that static is noisy and would not recommend if you are looking for quality. Not reccomended

I use it as a wireless speaker for my iPhone, so it probably works for an iMac.

If your imac has a place to plug in speakers or headphones, then it will work. It will work with phones, media players, etc as well.
