My son's computer doesn't have built in speakers and he wants sound for gaming (primarily Minecraft). Will these work for that purpose?

It will work, using a wire to the headphone jack on the computer. But honestly, you wouldn't be using the Bluetooth wireless connection, and there are PC speaker systems for the same price that include a small subwoofer and have much richer sound. So you decide - richer sound that's not portable, or this unit that has the flexibility to play music from smart phones and tablets.

The twist has a nice rich sound and would work fine for that application as long as it is hard wired in through the head phone jack of his PC. Fyi there are less expensive alternative that could supply a much richer surround sound with a subwoofer included. You would however lose the portability of the blue tooth twist which could do double duty with any other blue tooth enabled device.

Yes this speaker will do the work, your sons PC must have Bluetooth or he'll need to connect the speaker through the aux jack.

These should work. We use the iSound for our iPhones and it has remarkable sound with good depth. He'll be impressed. I must admit though, I've never used it with a computer.

They are just speakers. They don't currently have anything powering them. So the short answer is no. Maybe they could if you added a reciever and hooked your computer to that, but you'd be better off (and will save money) if you go with a powered set made for a computer.

I don't think so. They aren't meant to be computer speakers, but hooked into an audio receiver in an entertainment system. For what it is worth, the sound great!

They have a standard 3.5mm jack. If your computer has that size receptacle, should work.

Your computer's onboard audio will definitely be able to drive them. I used them on several different computers and they worked with all of them.A headphone amplifier will probably make the headphones sound better, but it's definitely not necessary.

For gaming, the sound quality is excellent. But these do not have any noise cancellation, so it would not sound as good when gaming in a very noisy environment like a large lan party

I wouldn't suggest it. They are good for my use, outdoor, but will not provide the full rage usually required for gaming application

They're passive speakers so you'd need an amplifier between your computer and your speakers. I use an Onkyo 8255 receiver/amplifier, which my computer is connected to (laptop 1/8" jack into RCA jack using an adapter).

Michael, I didn't know the answer so I looked at the brochure. Every step is designed for a laptop & it doesn't tell you the Specs on the speaker. They work great on my laptop but I don't think they are powerful enough for a desktop. I would suggest a much higher quality for a Desktop system. You won't be happy with them on a desktop., Neal

Yes. If your computer has an audio output jack, the speakers will work. BUT remember they must be used with their included power adapter AND they only make sense if you intend to mount the under a compatible Dell monitor. If you don't have a Dell monitor, choose a different speaker for better sound quality.

Sorry, I'm not a gamer. The sound is excellent with all sorts of music, including very loud and very full such as a large orchestras playing very loudly with crashing percussion, so my best guess would be they would be good for gaming too. They don't have a separate bass which some other sets have, so (again I'm guessing) if you're looking for really loud thumps and things like that, a set with a separate bass may better achieve it. Hopefully a gamer will chime in.

But if you are going to use these specifically for a home desktop, I would suggest getting a Logitech z313 speaker set, for a better sound. :)

They work well non the less, If you where to use Realtek HD audio then i suppose they would sound better. Basically if you get anything that would make your audio sound great without the RIG the audio will sound excellent with them.

They are but they are not the kind of speakers. Thst you can blast. You can play music with them, you can use them for listening to video's. But if you're gonna use them for X-Box games, you can't blast them.

As long as your screen has a VGA input then yes. The red and white are for audio, what I did was use an adapter to make them into an 1/8" headphone jack. Allied me to plug in headphones or computer speakers. Just an FYI these are NOT premium, there is no shielding and a lot of crosstalk. Don't expect a real nice picture, but they do get the job done if your running a LAN party on a budget like me.

I have used them for gaming when my regular headphones broke, but not for regular use. If u had nothing else, I guess they would be fine, but not as a first choice. You can still hear too much background noise. Hope that helps! : )

Sure they will. They work on any computer. If you have a headphone jack, plug into that. Otherwise turn the computer volume waaay down and plug into the speaker jack. But before doing any of that look on your present speakers, they might have a headphone jack.
