Can I plug these into a computer headphone jack with an 1/8" cable (after powering with an amplifier)?

If I understand the question... The passive speakers must be powered by an amplifier. You can plug the amplifier input to the headphone jack but be careful NOT to over power the amplifier input since the headphone jack may overload the amplifier input. Why not just use the sound card output?

You can do this provided that your amplifier is designed to handle this type of input. Normal line level output is -10 dB for consumer electronics. The headphone output isn't designed to feed an amplifier directly, rather it is designed to feed high impedance headphones. If you want to do this the right way you need an interface between your computer and amplifier. There are devices manufactured for this very purpose: take headphone output from a phone, mp3 player or computer and convert this to line level to feed an amplifier. A prime example is: iBoost 800 Stereo Line Level Audio Amplifier Booster Amp for MP3, iPod, iPad, iPhone. There are a ton of these out there so have fun selecting the one that best suits you. Another way to accomplish this is with a USB sound card. You plug the interface into your USB port on your computer and from there you are provided line level outputs (as well as inputs) that you can use to feed your amplifier. I have even seen integrated amplifiers designed to take headphone inputs that you can drive your speakers. The sky is the limit, so have fun selecting just the right device.

I wouldn't recommend it, they are excellent computer speakers and you'd probably blow them up. You could get a headphone jack converter and run them out of there.

Only if the computer has an audio output source... Stereo RCA connections. With a headphone output jack these would not work.

Yes, they will work just fine with any device fitted with a 1/4" headphone jack, or use a 1/4" female adapter.

I'm sure you should be able to plug in and jam....these cans come with a 1/4" inch male plug... l guess it depends on your amp.... you should have lots of power to drive these baby's......l love my headphones .....just buy some you will not be sorry...

Yes. You can use it with any audio device with an 1/8" output (headphones).

No not really in a conventional way like USB. They have 1/4 inch connection which you can Google to see what it looks like, but it is the larger headphones connection plug type. I have a cable running out of this device into a mixer which then connects to my pc. Hope that helps.

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.

Yes! They should come with a 1/8 inch audio cable which you can plug into the laptop's headphones jack.

I see no reason why not. They fit my PC jack as well as my Macbook. Hope that helps.

I don't think they will but I am not a 100% sure on it though. I am using these cables to connect my computer to a stereo unit. Most computer speakers come with cables already built into them which just has the 3.5mm jack that connects to the computer.

You cannot plug these directly to your computer. You can hook these up to a receiver/amplifier and use one of the inputs on the receiver/amplifier to connect the line-out from your computer sound card.

They do not have 1/4" jack. You need speaker wire stripped back or a banana plug. As far as using with the focusrite scarlett 2i2 you would need powered speakers for that to work. These are not. These are excellent speakers however. If you have the beans I would buy a good amp and run these. I run these in my studio with a Hafler dh220 and the are quite excellent.

I believe it will; both 1/8"-outputs are amplified, and I think they're individual amplifiers because there is no volume-change when the 2nd headphone is inserted. You might have some trouble with volume, as headphones usually have higher voltage than Audio-IN or LINE-IN (which is 1Vrms full-scale)

No, I dont think so...most computers come with 3.5 mm jacks...these have a smaller one

Hey, not unless you have a power amp and mixer. These are non-powered and have no built-in amplifier at all.

The answer is no. They work very well on home computer, as well as any output single plug
