Do these require an amp or can they be run off of phones and laptops?

Amp them. Without it they seemed to struggle with iPods etc. once I amped them they came alive and are fantastic.

No amp required, but they are FAR better with an amp and a bit of EQ to tailor to your choice of sound.

No, while an amp can enhance your experience some it isn't necessary. I bought an amp for that purpose but rarely bother with it.

No. They are very efficient and sound great with iphone, ipod classic, and even spotify streaming. Sound GREAT!!! No need for amp. They are very loud with volume at about 75% using iPhone 5.

These will do okay without an amp on mp3/phone, you might have to consider buying portable amp to these headphones to their actual potential.

Yes. They come with a power cord that plugs into your laptop or phone. Great sound for a small investment.

These speakers are not self powered. You will need an amp of some kind to power them. They are good speakers for the price. I like mine.

Just buy the adapter for the device, they're compatible with just about everything. Not sure you'd need an amplifier unless the phone doesn't have one built in.

they sure can. the have the mini plug but you do have to power them to a ac outlet. they are not used as a usb type of connector. if you use the laptop as a desktop you would just unplug connector from laptop and remove the laptop to use somewhere else, leaving the speakers.

No your computer can be on and they can be plugged in to the computer for power but plug them into your phone or MP3 player for music. You can also plug them Into the wall if you have a certain wall charger for an iphone or iPod

yes, of course, you just need to cables that go from TS to 1/4" headphone jack. The speakers are powered so no amp required.

You'll still need a proper amp. The output from this device isn't enough to power speakers alone.

No amp needed. They function just like ordinary speakers. Hook your output lead from the radio for the rear speakers, and you're done.
