They already come with just the one audio cable that goes into your audio jack on your laptop or headphones jack..

You don't need to buy any cables, they connect to your laptops headphone jack, or to your desktops green output jack on the sound card.

Is this a waste of money to pay for bluetooth capabilities if I'm only going to use it to plug into a laptop pc for better sound? Is there a better choice for just that usage?

Hello we have this speaker and we used it for our renewal ceremony. We used a "Y" Cable that ran from our laptop to the speaker and it worked very well. You can find it in any radio shack or electronic store or even walmart. I hope this helps.

Those cables are totally generic and inexpensive! You can pick one up at any store that sells USB cables, or check any of your own cell phone cables/laptop cables/electronic accessories~ you may have one lying around that fits perfectly! Just check the ends to make sure it is the right size/shape on each end. (if you do go to purchase one, I'd suggest taking the Jam Speaker with you and asking for help to ensure you get the correct one!)

If I were you I would look for a good pair of PC speakers. Technically it is possible using an amp and converter cables. If you are using the computer as part of a music system setup then it maybe worth going this route.

WeKnowElectronics is right.The Bose 141 is passive speakers. You need an active speaker to use with your Laptop otherwise you need an amplifier.

Sorry, but I don't know if Bose speakers would work but I have successfully connected to a variety of BT devices and see no reason why a name brand like Bose would not work also.

The cable is a male USB connector to a micro USB male connector. Their are a couple different micro connectors, I would recommend you take the speaker unit to WM, RS, BB or other brick and mortar store. That way if it plugs in you're golden.

They're just speakers, they need to be connected to an amp. You could connect a wireless receiver to that amp that could receive signals from the laptop. They can't do it on their own. They can't do anything on their own.

When I ordered the M1 speakers in 2013 I also ordered a pair of audio cables (1/4 " to RCA). I do not remember any audio cables being included with the speakers.

the question to ask is: does your laptop have industry standard Bluetooth capability pre-installed? if yes, turn on Bluetooth mode in the computer's settings, then turn on the speaker, and it should find and connect to your computer all by itself. The first time, your computer will ask you If you wish to connect to that external device. If your computer is not Bluetooth capable, the speaker cannot be used in Bluetooth mode, but can be used with the enclosed cable, which you plug directly into the computer headphone jack.

If you can plug this into your Bose Soundlink Mini Speaker and into your computer, there should be no problems in it working for you. Bose are great speakers but they do still adhere to electricial standards. So if this cable fits, it will charge your speaker. I have a mini speaker that this would not work on because the round connector is wrong for my speaker. So if the speaker has a round connector receptor and you can connect to an USB port on your computer, then this will work for you.

I don't think these speakers would be a good choice as a PC speaker. They are quite large and have the standard red and black post connectors on the back of the speaker for connecting to an audio amplifier or receiver. You might be able to connect wires to a small jack that would plug into the PC and then connect to the speaker but I'm not sure the output of the PC would be sufficient to drive these speakers. I think there are much better choices for computer speakers including speakers with built in amps to supplement the output of the PC

These speakers come with a power cable and a cable to connect to your computer. You will connect via a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. So if you can connect headphones, you can connect these speakers.

Yes. If your laptop has a digital optical or digital coax connector you could connect via that. Or it also has 2 analog connectors one of which is L-R RCA and one thats a headphone style jack. On most laptops you'd just need a stereo double jack to connect the speakers to the headphone or lineout on the laptop.

Michael, I didn't know the answer so I looked at the brochure. Every step is designed for a laptop & it doesn't tell you the Specs on the speaker. They work great on my laptop but I don't think they are powerful enough for a desktop. I would suggest a much higher quality for a Desktop system. You won't be happy with them on a desktop., Neal

You will need right and left RCA plugs into the speakers with a 1/8" connector into the computer. Same as most computer speakers. You can get the cord on Amazon, Radio Shack, Best Buy, etc.
