Do you have to have the extra USB thing in order for this to work? What is that used for?

If yoou want to use these speakers wirelessly then it needs to have bluetooth. If your PC does not have bluetooth then you will need a USB bluetooth adapter. But the speakers have a mini stereo jack on the back so you can use a cable instead of using bluetooth.

In order to use the USB connector , I have had to purchase a usb to mini usb cable. It hasn't arrived yet, so right now, that is the plan. Assuming I have the sex of the connectors correct I should be OK

It does not come with a USB cable. I used an existing cable since I had plenty lying around.

No, you need the USB. But if you have something that could connect the USB to a outlet you can go that.

This is a good question. I just tried to connect my cellphone to USB, and it works. Laptop showed my cellphone disc. So it`s extra USB port for laptop.

It isnt anything special. Just make sure you get a mini usb to 2 regular usb cable. (Yes, that is one end is a MINI USB (not micro) and then the other end will have 2 regular sized USBs.) It is because one pulls power and the other actually send/receives the data IIRC

no additional usb cable is required - just plug into usb port on computer. however the connection is only about 6 inches long.

I'm not the seller, sorry. I'd suggest looking up some installation guides because it can be a little tricky I had to buy a powered USB hub when I got mine.

Doesn't come with anything USB, however you may be able to re-purpose it somehow.

No, it doesn't need anything else. Just plug in the USB and it gets the power from laptop and start working. It also has 2-speed to choose.

I got a USB cable with mine. It connected on the side of the device and I could plug it into my computer or my car, which has a USB connection. But it didn't do anything when plugged into the computer so I'm not sure why it's included. Mine came with it, it's in the box.

What exactly to you have that is connected to your computer that is powered by the USB? Keyboards, Mice, Game Controllers, Flash Drives, USB Memory Card Readers, all these things should work just fine. External Hard Drives I am not sure about, but If your External Hard Drive is Powered though a AC Adapter (Or DC Adapter if You live outside the USA) I am guessing it should be OK, but if you are not sure or uncomfortable about hooking up a hard drive to a USB extension cord like this one. Then you are better off just using the shorter USB cable that the External Hard Drive came with.

I havent plugged a flash drive into it. I believe the usb on it is only for power ( thats all ive used it for and when I plug my phone in, it doesn't give me the option to access it any other way.).. its a Bluetooth radio transmitter..

No USB plug-in to my knowledge. Not sure where that idea came from as there is no mention of it on the information shown.

Yes, this unit includes a short USB cable to connect to your computer. This cable is also the power source for the drive. If you need a longer cable, get a new one rather than using a USB extension cable. If you're connecting to a USB hub, make sure the hub is powered (has its own power supply).

It includes a micro-usb cord that powers the device from your computer and transmits data from the built in USB hub. You can buy the extra power adapter, but it is not necessary.

No. The extra USB connection is to provide more power to one device than a single connection allows. Some hard drives need more power and that's what this cable is for.
