I am looking for high quality outdoor speakers, with built-in power-- to run my iPod through them, without using bluetooth. Would this work?

I use these through my home wifi, works well if speakers are plugged in, not so much on batteries.

YES...These outdoor speakers are powered (outside) using the supplied AC/DC power adaptors.. OR "AA" batteries(if no AC outlets are available). Your iPod's 3.5mm audio output port would connect to the supplied Transmitter with the supplied cable. You power the Transmitter with the supplied AC/DC power adaptor indoors. You can actually charge your iPod using the USB port in the Transmitter with your Apple USB cable. A remote is furnished so you can operate all the speakers functions outdoors.

I used the bluetooth outside of my house and it worked. As for the system and speakers i would not recommend. I would recommend spending a couple extra dollars on speakers and look for a bluetooth adaptor to add to an auxiliary port

Yes because the way you connect them is via the head phone jack on the iPod. There are also red/black inputs at the back of the unit. These are nice speakers that put out pretty good sound.

These are battery-powered speakers charged by a 5-V power supply. They will not blast you out of the park, but are great on the patio for background music connected to my phone via Bluetooth. If there is a wattage, it would be low, since they will work for about 8 hours on a charge.

you need an external one. i use indoor outdoor 3way speakers cost like 18 bucks .

This is the opposite. You plug this into your hifi system (or amplifier) to receive audio from a device that can send audio via Bluetooth. It only receives and needs ac power. I use it to send spotify/pandora from my iPad or iPhone to my outside speakers.

These speakers are not self powered nor a complete sound system, so this question is not really appropriate for asking on a set of speakers that requires other components. (The only input ports in the back are speaker wire inputs.) If you are designing your own system, where you plan to connect external devices and even run things on a battery without an AC connection, yes, these things are possible. I am actually doing these things with my system. These are 4 Ohm, speakers, so imagine that if you connect these speakers to a car stereo, the requirement list that you have, is really meant for the particular car stereo unit. So, with this example, the car stereo would have a USB port, 3.5mm audio jack for MP3 player input, and it may even run off of a battery. If you are just looking for a complete sound system that is ready to go, this is not it.

these speakers need a power sorce - receiver, amp or similar. Example : Yamaha RX-V377 5.1-Channel A/V Home Theater Receiver You want : http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_12?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords;=ipod%20speakers&sprefix;=ipod+speaker%2Caps%2C195

You can run some external speakers on the deck or patio with the addional B speakers. The type depends on your taste and costs. But if their outdoor you shouldn't have any issues finding good quality outdoor speakers. Hope I helped.

Thank you for your quick response. I have an older iPod that does not have Bluetooth.

I am not sure. The source has to plug directly into the transmitter. The speakers are wireless and need power from an outlet (no batteries) as does the transmitter. But the source needs a 3.5 mm (headphone size) cable to connect to each transmitter. You could try a Y cable but the transmitters could interfere with each other, I haven't used 2 so I don't know if they would interfere. I have my transmitter plugged into a sonos connect so I can use the sonos system to have wireless music with my smart phone and have outdoor speakers because sonos doesn't make one for outdoors.

Hi, I had first bought one of these that needed powered speakers, then I traded it in for this one I think. And yes that is exclusively what this is used for. We use it for our restaurant, to play spottily, and to play the iPod. It works great! I hope this helped.

I think you want amplified speakers to work with your iPad. That is, the kind that have batteries, or plug into a wall outlet. These speakers do not have a power source. They work well with a traditional stereo receiver/amplifier, but probably not with a small electronic device.Also, I think there would be a problem with the cabling.

No. These are speakers that need an amplifier. You can get a Lepai LP-2020A+ and plug your ipod into that to power these speakers.

Hi Toni,Thanks for the question. With these Outdoor Wireless Speakers, they do require a Bluetooth signal to operate. Yet there are bluetooth transmitters that can be attached to your receiver that could send the signal to these speakers. Contact AV-Express for more information.

Yes, I used it with an ipod touch, but you have to go into settings and turn on the Bluetooth setting that then pair it with the speakers.

Probably not. One speaker has two cables coming out of it; a power cable (less than 10 feet long) and a speaker cable that connects to the other speaker (about 25 feet long). Audio plays via Bluetooth and there are no connections to hook it to your home stereo. For us they work great because we're never outside without our phones. As soon as I hit the yard, I connect via bluetooth and stream Pandora, Spotify, YouTube or my own iTunes music library.
