Hello mate, same story with the mac I'm afraid, I have a couple of macs too, may sound a tad bit better but does not power the drivers adequately. I run mine through an audio interface in my studio, Focusrite Saffire 40, this has headphone amps with volume controls and powers the just fine. If you really want to enjoy these headphones, you do need good headphone amps. I also use them to monitor sound into my Zoom H4N in which do have a small headphone amp on them

Tried with my Nexus 5 doesn't sound good. They're made to be listened to through headphone outputs that have pre amps, basically needs to be powered a little to drive the speakers

An I phone 5 can power them fine. I use mine plugged into nothing but my computer pot second gen iPod with no external amp and I still get rich lows, clear mids, and detailed highs.

These are easy to drive...with that said, I am a big believer is using a small headphone amp...such as FiiO E6 Portable Headphone Amplifier - its 27.00 and lower used..its small and will make a huge difference...especially for dedicated listening...what I mean is sitting down, reading..etc... NEXT use this small cable to get BETTER sound from your iphone...FiiO L9 L-Shaped Line Out Dock (LOD) Cable For iPod and iPhone - L9 HTH...Otto

I use these primarily for watching video on my laptop and occasionally my iPad; I'd never tried them with my iPhone 5, but just did (with music) and they worked fine. It's possible they might drain the iPhone's battery quickly; I only tried it for about a minute, so I don't know. As for sound quality with the iPhone, they sounded fine to me. I'm not an audiophile, but I'm not tone deaf either, so unless you have very high acoustic standards, these should be fine. I've been quite pleased with them.

Hi Nishant D, I really could not tell you because I use a Galaxy and I do not know the specs on your Ipnone. I do know they work fine on my phone, and even my computer which is powered by a Bose sub-woofer and Amplifier. And as you well know, my computer is kicking out considerably more power than my Galaxy. I am sorry my dear brother for not being able to tell you with assurance that your Iphone will be totally compatible with these nice headphones.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,sincerely, Debrau54

Yes. I Bought Mine For My Iphone And They Work Amazingly and They're Very Loud! I love them!

No issues with functioning with my iPhone. One thing, there is no volume control typically common to high end headsets or earbuds.

Unfortunaetly it does not work with iphone 5 or 5s since the lightning connector to those phones is different than this one designed for iphone 4 or 4s. What you can do is use the regular cable that comes with any Fiio amp and looks like a headphone jack on both sides. It's not ideal but it works. Hope this information helps.

Sorry Rebecca. I do not have iPhone 5. I would check with Phiips or at Target which sells them. I will say I bought two and they are great sound systems, look very nice, compact, excellent. Ron

Yes they do work with Iphones but let me qualify that i own a Iphone 5 and they work beautifully with them I am able to even change the songs on my phone etc instead of just the usual volume up and down and next song previous songs.But i can only speak for the Iphone 5 although i see no reason why is shouldnt work for previous models

Yes, you can plug your iphone or any device with a 3.5mm headphone jack into these speakers. The usb power cord just needs to be plugged into the wall, powerbank or a computer to power the speakers.

They work, but I can't figure out how to use the volume control that's built into the wires. Doesn't seem to affect anything. I think it's specifically designed for volume control on an Iphone. Hope that helps. The do sound very good.

there are just bare wires connected to/from the speakers. I really don't know how they would/could be connected to an IPhone. wish I could be of more help but I don't even own an IPhone, just a dumb phone.

I just bought this for my 13 year old daughter and can't get it to play her iPhone 4. Is there a trick to it? When the iPhone is plugged in I can see that it is charging but there's no sound at all.

one question, excuse my bad englishhas anyone tried to play music on it with either Iphone 3GS of Iphone 4 ??I'm having the old plantronics Voyager 510 and I'm not able to play music on it, and thought this new model looks better and might serve my needswaiting for your answers,

Yes you can use these speakers with an iphone 5. It comes with the aux cord to plug into any headphone jack and play music out of the speakers!

I doubt it is compatible with iPhone5 unless you have an adapter. Doesn't the 5 have a different plug? Plus an apple iOS update made the speakers stop working and it just became a big charging unit. I would look for something else.

I've have not experienced first hand hearing phone audio through the device. I primarily use it with my macbook. The device does not differentiate music with my mac and plays all audio. I would suspect it will be the same with your iphone 5.

I love this player, but I use the speakers. It has great sound. Maybe you could plug you earphones into the iPhone or iPod directly, but I've never done this. The new iPhone 5 has it's ear plug connector on the bottom, so I don't think you could use ear phones when the 5 is docked.
