Iphone 7 Headphones Plugged In Speakers Still Play

I got this for two reasons: 1. Didn't want to reach to the back of the iMac every time I wanted to use headphones. When plugged in, this hangs about 2 inches below the bottom of the screen and is easy to reach to plug in headphones. 2. Didn't want to use the headphone jack on the iMac for risk of wearing it out over time with the switch inside getting stuck on headphone mode which would prevent sound from built in speakers. The item looks very well made and durable. The sound quality is crystal clear with no hiss or pops. NOTE: when you plug a headphone in, it does not automatically switch to headphone mode. That has to be done manually in the operating system (both MAC OS, and Windows/BootCamp). Simple procedure of switching to GHW USB Audio. One might think this is a hassle but it's not because this way you can leave the cable plugged into your USB-C Port and still have sound via the internal speakers. In fact, you can leave the headphone also plugged in and still have sound via internal speakers until you choose otherwise.

..first 24 hours..used only 7%..couldn't ask for anything better...

Still like my wired headphones

My favorite feature on these little speakers is being able to play 3 audio sources at the same time. I use the headphones jack with my TV (movies, Switch, Xbox), RCA jacks with my audio interface connected to my laptop and keyboard, and bluetooth with my iPhone. This feature makes these little speakers really useful (such as being able to play along on my keyboard with music from my iPhone). Also the sound quality and volume will make you grin for such a small speaker. What would make these perfect is if they just got a smidge louder. I grew up playing an upright piano, and these speakers get impressively loud, yet leave something to be desired, especially when playing my keyboard. I find they start to peak right when I get the keyboard to a volume that fills the room. With that said though, these speakers are so much better and louder than any built-in keyboard speakers I've used. Honestly I would have spent twice as much for these speakers.

This speaker was an upgrade from my old Sonos Play 5 speaker. It integrates nicely with my other Sonos speakers and the latest Sonos iPhone Application.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will admit I was initially intimidated by the mere idea of hooking this turntable up, but the promise of being able to connect wirelessly to our bluetooth speakers and headphones motivated me. It was packed very securely, however a few of the parts/accessories were tucked away in the styrofoam packaging and there were a few minutes of panic until I found them. Assembling the turntable and connecting it (wired) to our amp was easy peasy, as was pairing the bluetooth with our speakers. I really like the minimalist design of the turntable, it is very modern looking and unobtrusive. The buttons and knobs are are easy to find and to use. Using the turntable to play a record is simple and straightforward and the sound is refreshingly clean. As soon as the kiddos knew we had it (and what it could do) they came over with their laptops that have recording software on them, and literally stacks of albums and spent the day using the turntable to record the albums onto their computers. I will be honest - I would not have known how to do that without them showing me first. What I really like the best is that I can play albums and listen to them through bluetooth on my wireless headphones, in another room! I love it and would recommend this highly to someone looking for a good turntable that has bluetooth capabilities.

I bought my first Play 5 in Feb 2017. I use it in my living room and just love the sound. Setting it up was a breeze, just connect the power supply, a few clicks to configure the system in the controller app and done! I have been an audiophile for almost a decade with focus being on headphones primarily. I never thought that audiophile level sound experience was even possible through speakers at such an affordable price and in such a simple plug-n-play manner. The build quality of Play 5 is just amazing; shows the rigor that went into design and manufacturing. Trueplay is such an amazing piece of technology. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard the music after tuning the speakers with Trueplay. The sound is so close to what I could achieve with some of the best headphones, DACs and amps earlier. Now I can listen to all my favorite music across genres like classical, rock, pop, psychedelic etc. without being restricted to sitting in one place. Sonos Play 5 is pure audio bliss! I strongly recommend it to all music lovers.

We have 2 play 5's and a play 1. They are the best speakers we have ever had.

Connects with Bluetooth easily to my iPhone to play music too!

I have my Grado Prestige Series SR80e Headphones plugged into my Mac at all times. I have a varied taste in music and these headphones make all my musical choices come through better than ever. I can hear background singers and instruments I never could before. Amazing. And the headphones are completely comfortable to wear for hour after hour. Which is great for all my uses for them on my computer.
