I have bee through many computer speakers, the best I ever found were Boston Acoustics 5.1 but they are digital. It seems that most computers now are only using analog, so, when I got my new computer, My BA speakers were useless. However, in my home I have an entire Klipsch 7.1 surround set up, and it is the best I've ever heard. These are the same speakers most movie houses use, so I went in believing that the Klipsch speakers for computer would be just as good. I was wrong. They are not the worst, but they do not even compare to my BA set up. The bass can be good, @ times, however, over time, it will start to distort, and then so do the satellites. Also, another problem is most people have used these types of speakers before, and have a brain. Klipsch however, didn't realize that most people use the color coded set-up on the wires, to attach their speakers. This was a big mistake. Down towards the bottom of the page, they will finally tell you that the main satellite speaker has it's own power source, and that you should NOT plug the green speaker connecter into the GREEN sound card input. You will need to change, in your computer sound card file, one of the other outputs, I used the blue, that was some of the problem with the distortion, cracking, problem, but not all of it. I called Klipsch several times trying to get this issue resolved, to no avail, they blamed my brand new 2000.00 computer for this issue. I wish BA had an adaptor for DAC( digital to analog), but they told me awhile back they do not. I'm still looking around for one, and now that this has become more prevalent in the industry, I'm sure I can find one soon. When I do, I will stop using these, I'm past my return policy, so for me, I'm stuck. But I ran out every option in the book trying to fix this issue, and nothing. I play, record, and make my own music on studio one /2 and Cubase, so for me, this was important. I guess if your just looking to listen to music quietly, and real quality is not that important to you, then these will pass. I'm just not the type that likes things that "just pass". I hope this review will @ least help someone else from going thru the nightmare I did.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Can this product be used with a mac book pro that is 3 years old?
I have a mac book pro and a digital projector I need to use these speakers with-- will they work? it says windows only in the specifications but in the questions it says it can hook up with a mac mini….
You can probably find an adapter @ Radio Shack or the like, but if I were you, I would find different speakers. Look @ the Boston Acoustic series, they were the best I could find, and most times their prices are reasonable. Be sure to check your mac first as well if it is analog or digital. If it's digital, BA (Boston Acoustic), make the best imo. If it's just a presentation set up, and not something of major music value, Logitech, isn't bad and is affordable. The Klipsch, I posted a review on the Best Buy site if you want to read it. Just be sure to check if you have a digital sound card in your computer, or analog. If it's analog, look for analog only speakers, or be sure to get a DAW, (Digital to Analog connecter), then most of the speakers will work ok on either platform, apple or windows. The first I recommend will work for you no problem. The 2nd is good. Hope this helps.
