I want to plug it into a pillow speaker that is not powered. This would be sort of like plugging into an unpowered headphone. Can I drive those?

Well, when I saw your question, I had no idea. However, I connected the device to my Sony MDR-W24 headphones (regular, unpowered headphones) using the included male-to-male adapter, and it does indeed power them and I'm listening to my Bluetooth broadcast through them. I imagine, however, that this may be a bit of an additional burden on the device's battery, so it may not last as long as it might were it connected to a powered playback device.

Yes you can but it would sound better if using an amp. They will still work however. =)

Yes. .....you will need a power amplifier. ...they are not powered speakers.

These are not powered speakers, they need to be connected to a receiver or amplifier. If you wanted to use these with a computer you would first need to connect the pc's audio output to an amplifier.

Unfortunately no, the USB plug is how the speakers get power, so it would need to be plugged in, in order for the speakers to be turned on.

You can use it directly into a self-powered speaker. Other than that you will need a sound board, amp, then speakers

Yes, you can. Work fantastic and are loud. Beware though. I made the mistake of thinking they were completely wireless. Not the case. You have to plug them in, there is no battery to charge. Also the proved power cord is only about 10 feet long, and is similar to a laptop cord (big power pack in the middle). Not ideal for concealing wires or making it permanent. The company does not make this obvious.

These speakers are not self powered. You will need an amp of some kind to power them. They are good speakers for the price. I like mine.

Hi Scott yes you can. you may need to use the built in phono pre=amp to do it, but it should work, try it with the usb first

Your computer's onboard audio will definitely be able to drive them. I used them on several different computers and they worked with all of them.A headphone amplifier will probably make the headphones sound better, but it's definitely not necessary.

yes it has to be connected for these speakers to work. Simply plug it into any headphone jack of the same size, and you have noise to the speakers. You can even plug the USB plug into any USB port, for power, and, then plug the headphone jack into a phone, or similar device and whammo, you have noise to the speakers.

Yes you can but it won't be as loud as you want it to be, perhaps if your headphones are easy to drive then it'll be good enough. I do this myself via rca to 3.5mm interconnect. It sounds really good but not loud enough.

In short, I would say no. If you feel like removing all USB functionality - then technically yes. (cut the speaker lines and place into the amp outs). I suspect the low output over your current system is a combo of low power from the USB powered amp (it's technically only capable of 2.5w output) - and cheap speakers. So If I'm going to be truthfully honest - by another powered speaker PC set. For utilizing this amp you'd want to purchase new speakers as well.

It's an FM radio transmitter, so if you want to plug it into the pc headphone jack and pick it up over your stereo radio or run powered speakers from the receiver that comes with it, yes. It can not power external un-amped speakers.

Teresa - these speakers are not self-powered in any way, nor do they include any wiring. These are meant to be connected to an amplifier or HI-FI receiver, not to a TV directly. However, if you plug your TV into a receiver, then you might be able to use these.

No, the speakers are USB powered, so you just plug them into the USB port on your computer and you have power. They also plug into your headphone jack for the sound. So USB for power, headphone jack for sound. :-)

Yes they will work wired without power. However when using the Noise Cancelling feature they will use power from their battery. So if you were trying to use the Noise Cancelling feature with a dead battery you would be out of luck. Otherwise you can simply plug them into any source and listen away.
