You can use Bluetooth to play music. This is for application mode which enables the headset to control applications on the iPhone.

Thank you for your response. I was unaware of what a Y cable is until now. I ended up buying a receiver and speakers. Its good information to know though.

I'm going to try the bluetooth bone-conducting ones; no cord and hopefully you can hear what's around you as well as your media. I don't expect fidelity to be great though.

You'll be able to hook up your sound with the red and white cables. However, I've found that it's at a lot lower volume than going through Bluetooth.

That isn't correct. The speakers aren't limited. Your bluetooth device is limited to connect to one device at once. There are apps for devices to work around this.

If they are going to be used with Bluetooth, they would have to be connected to a power source/receiver/system with Bluetooth capability. These are speakers only and are not a self contained system that you could make a Bluetooth connection to directly. The same applies to non Bluetooth applications - they need to be connected to something to power them/push the sound through them. Mine are connected to my sound system that is part of my main audio/video setup

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.

How so? If you have your Bluetooth synced it should receive your audio and play through the input.

Check the packaging really carefully, you may have trashed it by accident (it's very small). Don't worry! Firstly, you can easily use any bluetooth device with these speakers. Or, if you really want a Creative bluetooth dongle, I could sell you mine

There is a Audio Jack for a 3.5 mm Audio Cable in order for it to play Non-Bluetooth Devices like old MP3 Players, etc.. In fact, the 3.5 Audio cable is included in the box as well..

You need to use speaker cables....NOT guitar or instrument cables. Use speaker cables only, you'll have a better sound.

I should have added that I bought an optical splitter for my tv in conjunction with a Bluetooth transmitter, one optical went to a sound bar and the other to the transmitter, thus TV/sound bar sound is independent of Bluetooth which transmits to my Bluetooth headphones, you could do something along that line as well.

there's a great cable that I use for my iphone even though it does have bluetooth, I still hard wire it, dont ask me why, I have no idea! Mediabridge 3.5mm Male To Male Stereo Audio Cable (12 Feet) - Step Down Design - (Part# MPC-35-12 )

Haha. MY BAD. I'm an idiot. You do need the cable. You also have to have AppRadio app installed on your phone. It has been awhile since I've used it, I switched to a Galaxy S4 since I purchased the cable, and my head unit doesn't support Android AppRadio. :'(

This wireless adapter is not easy to use totally. It's only play the certain music library. I think the Blue tooth will be much better.

Anytime you hardwire vs stream your audio quality will be much better. So the Bluetooth will not sound as good.

Yeah u need a connector. Wouldn't recommend for listening to music on the go, the cables long and with the connector it looks unsightly. But its perfect for home use. U should replace the ear cushions if u wanna use it to listen to music for long periods of time as there's not really enough cushioning between your ear and the speaker. If our cheap like me u can slip some foam or cotton buds in between the cushions. There's a small space. Makes these headphones much comfier
