You don't need an audio interface on your laptop, its as simple as plug in go. You can just play right fromyour itunes.

you can use a 3.5mm stereo split adapter to 1/4 trs, it works fine like that. These make awesome computer speakers.

you do not need a mixer.. plug directly into your headphone jack on your computer.. They are awesome.. my son has the bigger ones and loves them too..

Yeah, I guess, but it seems overly complicated, and unnecessary. I'll assume you want to track both the USB signal, and once you go through all that stereo adapter business, your gonna run it into the computers headphone/mic input? Then you have to convince your computer to record both the USB signal, and the now degraded signal coming from the 1/4" TS to 1/8" TRS Y adapter input simultaneously. If you can do it than you can do it but why not simply duplicate the stereo USB tracks in your DAW?

If your laptop has a stereo 1/8" mic input, the mic should work with it. The audio quality of the mic is OK for the price, and adequate for voice (pod casts), but don't expect it to be "pro" quality, especially for music. The mic preamplifiers in your laptop will also have some influence on the audio quality. Generally speaking, most computers don't have great preamps, so they contribute a bit of background noise to the audio.

They should work with anything that you can plug into a 3.5 input, that would include your computer. It's headphones, not software:)

You *can* run them off of your laptop, but they won't sound very good. You will need some kind of amplifier. Fiio makes some good amps for the money. I would suggest something in the $40 to $100 range. You won't be dissapointed though, these headphones are awesome.

You will need some kind of audio software. This is not a standalone hardware piece you can simply plug into a mixer, it is an audio interface that must be plugged into a computer.

There is a line level out which you can run straight into your pc. Just remember it'll be mono. You don't NEED an audio interface. Most PCs have a line level or microphone input you could use. The quality would be better with an audio interface. It is likely not needed to make this work though.

Yes you would need a 1/4" to 1/8" plug like this one Leegoal 3.5mm M to 1/4-Inch F AdapterThe cable is long and I've only had a total of 1 to 2 hours in them but they sound great for our studio application, which are live guitars for me. It would look like overkill with the adapter plugged into your laptop but you could do it. HTH

It should work fine, just be sure that the 1/8 right angle plug will go into your laptop all the way. But I would suggest getting a straight ended cable instead of the right angle as some laptop designs interfere with the right angle plug. Please note: This will not give you stereo to your mixer, it will combine L & R channels. You need 2 XLRs to get stereo - Here is the link to a cable that will give you true stereo: Hosa CYX-403M Stereo Breakout Cable, 3.5 mm TRS to Dual XLR3M - 3 m / 9.8 ft.

As far as I know, the only ways to connect a laptop is out the headphone jack into 1/4" or XLR and use 2 channels panned left and right or out of your USB into a gigaport or some other sound card and then into the channels on the mixer. The USB input on the mixer is only for playing music directly from a flash drive or external drive. I have not worked with it enough to know if there are other options. I hope that helps.

Yes, they will work fine. You will need to use the splitter cable that comes with it in order to use both the mic and the speakers on the laptop.

You should be able to plug into both without issue... unless your audio interface doesn't have XLR input output on it.

I personally think there are much better options for connecting your audio source to the house mixer. The mic input on this unit is XLR, so I'm not sure how it could work. The 1/4" monitor input does not transfer through the same XLR channel output only the headphone output. I'm a big fan of most Behringer products, but not this one. Look at the Radial Pro AV or similar DI box. Good luck!

The best option would be to get a usb interface. You can find a decent one for around $100. Then you could just get a couple 1/4" TRS cables and run those from the speakers to the interface, then connect the interface to your computer with usb.

yes, of course you can use these with a laptop. the inputs are digital or analog (mini or stereo rca)

Never tried it but you should be able to, most recording software will recognise the input so you shouldn't have a problem. You can plug the other end of the 1/4 into the mix port and you should be able to use both mics.

I own these headphones and i hook them up to my mac laptop and computer all the time and the sound quality is fantastic. I also have a fiio e5 and that really doesn't do much. These headphones are very sensitive and only 50 ohm so therefor you will not need an amplifier. People say you need a headphone amp for high end headphones, but that is only if you have 300 ohm headphones. Most high end headphones are much higher than these. SO you should be fine hooking them up to your pc speakers or just directly into your pc.
