Are these for use only with belt pack transmiter? Plugged them into my Mac and nothing...

No they are universal. Should work as long as it is plugged into a Mic Jack.

I dont know ive tried in my mixer board a transmitter tried everything and we could never get it to work we even called and they sent us a new one and it didnt work as well so we just gave up
1626631
That is correct. We plugged it into the transmitter that came with a lavalier mic that didn't work nearly as well. This product has been operating perfectly.

No, I use it for my Windows computer. It's just the same as a normal desktop microphone for a computer.

Sorry to say but I think the product is a dud, have never been able to make mine work no matter what hardware I used.

Hi Joe, to be honest with you I returned this. It didn't work for me either. I tried to plug them into a amp and nothing. Definitely cheap and not worth the money if you ask me.

Basically, yes. they have to get what I called "phantom power" from what they are plugged into which the belt packs are designed to do. Regular microphone jacks as found on computers, do not provide the phantom power needed for them to work.

Yep. They work for a while until Apple does an update. There's a chip in the plug that tells them if Apple certified. You lost your money. Be warned if not Apple certified this stuff will be locked out.

Nope--you're good to go! I've had my speakers for several months now & have been using them w/my MacBook Pro. They're great!!

I dont know - mine worked with zero issue. They are prob defective. Have you read the directions fully and followed them? If so, then return!m If not, try that first.

No, the only ones that work on macs have an external power source (like a battery pack) or have a USB plug.

I have them connected to my desk top. Just check and see if you have the input for them.

I never was able to get it to work at all. It has been a while, but if I remember correct, tech support wasn't much help either. These worked with the old macbook pro powerpc chips, not so much with the new intel macs. I never found anything that was a sure bet with the new macs, so I gave up trying.

Possibly an incompatibly issue. they MAY only work with I devices. Try plugging them into an iPhone/ipad/iPhone and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't, then most likely defective. In that case e-mail the company.

Well, they work very nicely for that purpose on my MacBook Pro, so I assume they would work for you as well.NOTE: If you like your sound turned up to "earthquake" levels, then these aren't the ones for you ...

I use them on my MacBook Pro. The two in-line plugs fit right into the holes on the left side.

I don't understand the part about "difference in watts," but they work perfectly with my MacBook.

I only use Mac's for working on Audio. Check M-audio website, to see if it's compatible.

Unfortunately not. Those are powered from the computer itself, these have an external ac port and a speaker plug (3.5mm or whatever the standard is now)

Yes, that is the purpose of the optical input. I believe Macs have an optical out combined with the headphone socket, whilst PCs may require a USB to optical converter....

Not any longer on these. For a few bucks, just buy a cord extender. That way you can leave the extender at your desk and take the headphones wherever you need to go.

How do I hook these speakers in to my Mac G4? Is there a USB connection or only RCA type jacks requiring a sound card to be put into my computer? Or can they be attached some other way? Any advice would be appreciated.

They are not made exclusively for APPLE products!They plug into and work on any (mini plug) system ie laptops, cell phones, pa systems, audio equipment, etc.
