My husband is seriously hearing impaired. Best choice for Macbook DVD playing: this or Alpatronix AX400 or something else?

NO. The audio may be well loud enough, but the BT audio processing induces a lag which makes using this speaker less than ideal for watching videos. If you're using it with the 3.5mm cable, it will likely work fine. But through BT, stay away, as the audio will trail the video by about 1/4 second.

Hi. I'm no expert but for the price I chose this one and I have a Mac. But the volume may not be high enough. My friend paid about 3xs more and got a Jawbone Jambox that seems to have more volume and is more compact. You might just need to try a few since only your husband can answer the volume question.

I don't know about the other but this kinivo sounds great and can play loud and sound good

Probably this, because you can crank up the volume considerably without the sound getting too distorted or bass-heavy.

I ordered it for my MacBook Air and it works very well! Plays DVD's, burns CD's great product

You could technically use a 3.5" to Rca cable and take the signal from the headphone/audio out jack on the MacBook. This would not be ideal, but would be inexpensive. Best way would be to use a usb dac such as the schiit modi or a fiio d3.

As long as the Mac has a standard speaker output it should work fine and it is simple to plug one cord to the TV or Mac and one power cord to an outlet. It works great on our tv. My wife has a hearing loss and so she can set her volume higher while I leave the tv volume where I like. She also uses the headset when I am not around because it adds clarity for her.

Hi Jack. I called Memorex (Imation). Customer service told me that the DVD's should definitely be compatible with Mac. Otherwise you can just upgrade your firmware on your driver or burner.

That's a good point, theater environment vs home environment. In that case you would THINK that when they press the disc for home viewing they would remix the audio for that environment...I just got the AVR-591 last month, and I'm LOVING it. The only dislike so far is that the volume numbers are a bit small... I'm kind of OCD and have specific numbers I like for various uses of the receiver, LOL.

By the upgraded version of the same computer. The Mac mini with model numbers like MC270xx/A. Your hubby will still enjoy the Dvd burner, small footprint and added speed the upgraded model will give him. Take the old mini and dump it on Craigslist or Amazon's seller store for $150.00 bucks and sit back and enjoy your life!

Presonus works great with a Mac; I haven't had any problems. Good audio quality and easy to use.

I'm on a Mac so no. However, Peachtree support was great when I had a question. The DAC offers such amazing sound for the price so any short-lived driver hurdles would be worth it.

Certain macs dont hold the ability to play the sound through the tv. I use external speakers and they work great!

JW, I'm ordering a AE to do exactly what you are looking to do. My PB needs some space cleared up so I'm planning to put the majority of the music on the external hard drive attached to the AE. Are you able to use the N-spec on your mac laptops? If so then you should have no problem. Remember they brought this out with teh appleTV which is going to stream movie content over the N network, so music should be easy.

I only use Mac's for working on Audio. Check M-audio website, to see if it's compatible.

I wasn't able to install Soundsaver on my iMac, plus there is no support available anywhere. Get Audacity, it's free and works just fine.

Without checking Apple's website, my gut tells me yes. Since Macintosh computers are so prevalent in studios, I can't see m audio not supporting mountain lion

Audacity is fine, as it will not introduce any distortion in its processing, none that you can hear, anyway. :) Audacity is a bit hairy as interfaces go, and if you are on a mac and have money to blow, Logic X Pro will charm you six ways to Kansas. But Audacity is free, as in beer, and you cannot sneeze at that. IN case $200 is just burning a hole in your credit card though, https://www.apple.com/logic-pro/ Have fun.

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

Not an Apple hater so dont know about that, but I have HP dm4 its about a 2008 or 09 year model, my Senns kick butt its like your at a concert when watching anything on utubewith no amp just get a adapter plug and ur good to goI dare you to even try and turn the volume up halfway hahaIf you know anyone who is hearing impaired, as I am, about 80-90 percent deaf, set them up with this for music as well as videos of people talking on utube as can understand what's being said clearly, with the volume turned almost all the way up, THEY WILL CRY WITH JOY!
