how many cords do you have to hook up to actually listen , and how long are the cords

That depends upon what you are connecting it to. The user guide has diagrams for each possible configuration (http://cdn-assets.turtlebeach.com/products/396/shadow_usermanual_en_101713.pdf). I believe the cord on the inline amp is 16 ft. long, as it runs to the back of the console, and the others are all shorter.

It is actually pretty long...48" total. The first 28" of the cord that attaches to a device is a thin rope. After that, it is the zipper. I love these. The sound quality is excellent, and the zipper really saves tangles.

The cord is almost 4 feet long . I just have the twin. You can listen to samples on the Vox website.My actual headphones sound better than the samples I heard.

The speakers seperate and are on 36" cords.They are standard speaker wire so you could attachh more length with wire and wire nuts.Not the greatest speakers, I substituted better speakers from an old Phillips bookshelf system and addeda powered subwoofer that I bought at a garage sale for truly great sound.

The speakers can be separated by 64 inches maximum. Let me describe the connection. A standard audio 3.5 mm plug inserts into your device (iphone, Walkman, computer, etc..) A 24 inch cable leads to a USB 2.0 connector. Two lines, each about 32 inches long, exit from the USB to the speakers, where they are connected with a mini USB (what you usually find on a digital camera for photo downloads). So if you picture a "T" with the audio plug at the bottom, 24 inches up the T, from there one line leads 32 inches to the left speaker and one line 32 inches to the right speaker. So you can say the cord from the plug splits to the two speakers, but 24 inches from the plug. There is a volume control about half way up the 24 inch cable. The speakers are charged with the USB connector. So if you want to charge while listening, the placing of the speakers will now be controlled by where that is plugged in. Hope this answers your questions.

The speakers need electric power, but use 2.4GHz (same as bluetooth or WiFi) to communicate with the sending unit. The power cords are a standard 3 ft. These work fine if you are not relying on something like an iPhone that is reading off the WiFi or another bluetooth device, as it interferes with other devices on that frequency.

The speakers come permanently connected to the power cord and the audio cable which is a standard 3.5mm jack. There is also a headphone jack and another audio-in jack on the front of one speaker. So unless you're plan on doing some crazy hook-up then you don't need any extra cables.

It is pretty long. I can't really give you a measurement but long enough to be able to put some distance between you and the device when listening to something.

The speakers can be separated approximately 4.5' apart. The speaker cables are hard wired so can not be separated further with extension cords. They are desktop speakers only and would not be suitable for much else. However, the sound is fine in a 14' X 16' space.

There are 2 cords. One cord from the lighter plug in to the unit (about 24 inches) and the second cord from the unit to the plug for the MP3 (about 30 inches)

I've not measured any of the cords, but the standard size earphones have all fit well with some room to spare. I have used both Bose and Iphone earphones without worrying about room for cords.

I use them with my laptop. The cord plugs into the side USB port. My laptop has 3 USB ports as do most desktop computers. You just plug them in and maybe adjust your sound settings and that's it.

The cord between the speakers is about four feet---for us it works great inbetween/each side of the computer. The cord from the computer to the speaker is about two feet. Hope that helps. The sound is great---great speakers for the price.

The hook up for the speakers is in the style of your typical 1/8" headphone jack. There are two in the back that are meant for the speakers but you could hook up you earphones to one of them.

same question. 3 foot cord for headphones sounds ridiculous so i'm thinking its really 3 meters like in the reviews.since no one complained about the length of the cord that i can see, i'm gonna go for it.

Cord + volume box = roughly 10 feet. It also comes with another 10 foot extension. I used to use a pair of Razor headphones, which had 1 really long cord, and this headsets + the extensions they provide are roughly the same or longer.
