Q: Are these wireless or do you have to connect the speakers to each other?

A: You have to connect them to each other. Which limited me on where I can put them. They sound good (and connecting them to my bluetooth enabled turntable was easy). But I was looking for more flexibility. Right now they are practically next to each other and I'll need to drill some holes in shelves and get longer wire to make it look and sound better. If you're looking for a more wireless set up, I'd keep looking.

Q: Do they have input for headphones

A: They do not have a headphone jack, which is a common feature with speakers that are specifically for use with a PC, but these speakers can also be used for other applications as well, and I suspect that this is why there is no headphone jack.

Q: Can these speakers connect with other bluetooth speakers?

A: Speakers would not recognize any other Bluetooth device

    Best Bang for your Buck

    These speakers are absolutely amazing! Ive had them for a couple of weeks now, and theyre so great that sometimes ill even play my comp games using them because theyre loud and crystal clear with an amazing bass. Dont sleep on these speakers. You can use them for anything whether it’s gaming, watching tv, hanging out with friends or whateverelse your desire. This price on these speakers for their amazing specs is an absolute steal. Theyre super easy to install with simply straight forward instructions that’s over within the blink of an eye to setup because it’s that easy. Go grab you a set of them because imma bout to get the sub to pair with it because theyre so good

    Amazing sound, Amazing price.

    These are excellent. great mids highs lows and even bass. I have mine hooked up via Optical Cable to my PC and my b650e Taichi Motherboard has great audio chipset, Plus the endless customization with Dolby Atmos on pc, These blow every sound bar out the the water, even the $400+ ones. Greats for gaming, youtube and movies. everything. Amazing deal at the $130 i paid for them, The cloth grill is removable

    perfect for turntable at a good price

    i got these to plug into my turn table & i was hoping to get some with decent clarity & the ability to round out the bass. this was everything that i wanted and more! i decided to give the edifiers a shot without listening to a demo prior because i have a 2.1 computer speaker set hooked up to my gaming desktop. once again, edifier knocked it out of the park!
