Will these work with windows 8? I have a desktop with speakers currently but need something like this for a online class.

Yes. I currently have windows 8 on my computer. I use it for gaming, watching movies, and skype calls. There is some adjusting you have to do on the audio settings because there is a sound adjustor on the unit.

I have the same question. I used my old computer speakers as an iPod docking station. Can I do the same thing with these?

If you are running windows Windows 7 or 8 it should work without a hitch. You would pair the speakers through the windows bluetooth setup. The drivers are standard and built into windows

As others have answered, these are just passive bookshelf speakers. If you're interested in powered speakers, a more worthwhile category for you to browse would be active monitors. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=active%20monitors

Your desktop is not supposed to "see" them, nor any other computer for that matter, if they don't make any sound, try this first: connect your speakers to your cellphone, iPod, or any other music able device and play some sounds, if they don't work, send them back, if they work properly adjusting the volume and all that, perhaps your desktop needs repairing. Good luck!

I have had the same issues...I bought these and have not been able to use them because Windows 8 does not recognize them. The manual looks like it should have come with a $1.99 set of headphones as it is useless. I would highly recommend, until these headphones are upgraded, you don't buy them. I wish I had returned mine and bought some that actually works with todays technology.

These speakers come with an aux input and cable so you can plug it into anything that has a headphone jack . It also has left and right input so I am possative they will be compatable with your desktop.

I don't think these speakers would be a good choice as a PC speaker. They are quite large and have the standard red and black post connectors on the back of the speaker for connecting to an audio amplifier or receiver. You might be able to connect wires to a small jack that would plug into the PC and then connect to the speaker but I'm not sure the output of the PC would be sufficient to drive these speakers. I think there are much better choices for computer speakers including speakers with built in amps to supplement the output of the PC

I use my on my desktop. It was easy to install (plug it in) and the sound is good but I do not know what other things the speakers can work on. Sorry.

These speakers should be used with a high quality digital interface. The headphone Jack on your computer has a lot of interference

They should work in a computer lab. They work in all audio inputs I have tried.

Yes. Windows 7 and Windows 8. These take a 3.5mm cable, not USB, and so they should work fine with any device that has that kind of output.

Can not connect speakers to it & I'm not sure about windows 8 But you connect it to your PC or laptop for an external sound card like if the internal sound card goes out or if you just want some awesome and much much better surround sound Honestly I'd highly recommend this card Just remember to go to the web site to get updated software You also might be able to find out if it will work with windows 8

These are not powered speakers. You need an amplifier. So these are definitely not meant to be hooked up to a computer.

which speakers do you have? the same? If you do the connections right yes they will work fine.

They are very clear but probably not practical for workstations. Other alternatives out there. Look at some Bluetooth speakers. That's what I use and very happy with.
