Yes, you can. If you hold down the pairing button on the Sound system until it beeps, you will be able to pair it to any bluetooth device. I was gifted this system from my wife at christmas and use my Macbook pro mid 2009 with the system all the time.

By the way, any computer that has a usb port can be made bluetooth capable. My apple is so old that I can't update it past 10.4.11, but with a bluetooth usb adapter it works fine.Ted

I think the bluetooth is referring to how the nano USB receiver finds the mouse. Meanng it is wireless. There is no button I can see that would allow you to pair this with another device without the dongle. But that is a really small receiver! I even tried to see if my iPad could see the mouse with the Bluetooth on. Nope. My laptop does not have Bluetooth to test this.

I have had the TRX for over a year and I have never been able to successfully connect it with my macbook pro over bluetooth. With a cord, yes. With bluetooth - a sad no.

I used this on an ancient MacBook from 2005 (Power PC?) via USB. No Bluetooth involved. I still use it that way on my newer MarBook.

Yes! I actually never have needed to pair it w/my Macbook. However after receiving this question I attempted to pair it to my Mac and did so without any "hickups" :)Hope this helps in your decision making upon purchasing this BT earpiece?

The answer is no on "plugging" the bluetooth in . Bluetooth is a wireless technology, you cannot plug it in.

It comes with built in wifi. So the easiest way would be to purchase a tiny usb bluetooth receiver. This would take up a usb port, but would only stick out of the computer by a few milimeters, far less than other cables you might have attached. That would get the job done.

I'm not Mac guy so l can't speak directly to your issue but I found any Bluetooth search I did with various devices all located and used the device with no difficulties.

I would think not. Most PCs do not use Bluetooth, but some do. All Mac designed things like this use Bluetooth instead of the traditional wireless. There's no support information for PCs on the company's website. Personally, I'd try for you - but I don't have any PCs with Bluetooth or any Bluetooth adapters. Sorry. : /

If you've paired other BT devices with your MacBook then you should have no problems. It's a great speaker - great sound, well built and easy to pair. I see no reason why it should not be compatible.

You can use it for microphone and headphone without an adapter for a MacBook Pro with Retina Display (and I suspect, for other Mac laptops as well).

Touch base with M-Audio...but the thing is you shouldn't even need a driver. Macs automatically plug-n-play especially with GarageBand

No drivers required. It isn't a P.C. If your MAC is Bluetooth enabled, it's compatable.

Works great with my older macbook. I am guessing the bluetooth is the same.

Yes, it works fine via Bluetooth. Just be sure that the PS210 is not connected to your iPhone or other device when you try to connect with the MacBookPro.

Thanks for the feedback Ryan. In fact, i was able to solve this by using one simple piece of kit - a USB 2.0 to 3.5mm jack. It works flawlessly since the audio is now going through USB as opposed to the 3.5MM analog port on the MBP. BIRUGEAR USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Female Audio Stereo Microphone Adapter + Neck Strap Lanyard
