Can you play music through these speakers with the led lights completely off? (I see mixed answers so a detailed answer would help)

Yes it can play either way. The lights are for looks and don't effect functionality.
1254511
Yes you can. There is a button on the Subwoofer that you can press to turn the LED's off. The only light that is left is a red power indicator on the back of the subwoofer but if you have it turned away from you you cant really see it.

Sorry for the delay in responding to your question. I did not know the answer (I like the little blue lights, so I never tried to turn them off) until just now when I happened across the tiny info pamphlet that came with the speakers. According to that, the power button is the one on the backside of the big speaker (subwoofer). There is another button on the front side, near the bottom. It's easy to miss -- I never noticed it before. It turns the "BassPULSE" (AKA little blue lights) on & off

Yes, you can. I love the light though. I actually use them as a night light. There is a button to turn the light on or off.

I got the same issue (connected with USB) plus, has static. The on/off control is in the weird location and many times I get the Static with a noise in the speaker. They even get sound when I turn on and off the light in the room. It never happened with the previous speakers.

I have the speakers and they are wonderful. I am not technically qualified to answer your question but my guess is the sound quality would not suffer much. I would support them so they are not free to rock.

the lights plugged into the system dance with the music thats playing. they turn off and on in rhythm to whats playing. i have half my lights plugged into it and the other half seperate and it creates a great light show. i love it. you can also adjust volumn of music so it does not irritate the neighbors. hope this helps and happy holidays.

It's not likely the LED will go out. If it dies it will be the whole unit, music + lights.When the whole unit dies, just email warranty.service@musiclites.com and explain what happened and they will RMA it.

No, you cannot play music through the speaker. Its only downfall. Overall, a great clock.

I don't believe that's a feature. You cannot light the pads up for a live performance, just play samples

You can't. They are not powered speakers. You will need a separate amplifier

No. These are passive speakers - you can't plug anything directly into them.

The LED lights do turn off and on automatically. The sound quality does the job definitely as well. Sound is crisp ,sharp, and of course the bass is certainly a plus.

No! To be honest I feel like I wasted money on these. The speakers are okay at best. The sub is nice, but it does just like someone else mentioned. When watching a movie, if sound dips or there's a lull. The sub cuts off and back on when sound picks up. So you'll get that blue light off and on flicker. Sometimes even a little thump when the sub comes back on. I do like the size of them if you're tight on space. If you aren't go with some bigger front and center speakers. Hope that helps.

I put electrical tape over them. They are extremely bright, and without taking the unit apart and actually modifying the electronics, I see no other way. The manufacturer should make an option for turning them off, or dimming them, but for now, a strip of black electrical tape over them works for me. It might not work well for anyone that wants to adjust the EQ more than once without having to remove the tape each time. I tried a permanent marker, but I couldn't get it into the small area well enough, and it was useless. I would imagine a small bit of paint would take care of the issue, and I will likely end up doing that.

You can but you will need to run them through a power amp not a straight plug and play.

These speakers are not powered and therefore will work anywhere. You must have a receiver or power amp in order to drive them...

The speakers automatically play when no headphones are connected, unless the Aux-to-amp connector is still plugged in or one of those cords. Take them out and turn the master volume knob all the way up. If there is no audio feedback then you have a defective model and must request a replacement or refund

Honestly it sounds like your light is damaged. The light should react when it hears sound. I have two of these lights. They are maybe 8 feet away from any speakers. When I play music in the man cave they go nuts. I can't say for sure what's wrong with your light, but the light is supposed to react to sound. The first light I purchased came damaged. I returned it and the second light worked fine.

Dear Derek, We are so sorry for your inconvenience. Unfortunately, we do not have the option to turn off the LED during playback. Thanks
