They might have them

Yes there's a firm that might have them, you'll find it at the bottom of my tip on headphones. Just click my user name to find it.

According to the specs your speakers are intended to use a standard 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack. I doubt your new Macbook will not be equipped with such a jack socket and so if they don't work when plugged into the headphone jack of the Macbook but do work in the headphone jack of the PC it is clearly the fault of the Macbook - maybe the socket is faulty or hasn't been enabled or something.

Sorry but I know nothing about Macintosh other than I hear they are almost entirely interchangeable with Windows these days. If they don't have a headphone socket it would seem they are actually inferior rather than the superiority they claim.

Audio output chip TEA2025B. I'd replace both. http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?site=us&lang=en&keywords=tea2025b

Try two standard "C" cells, rogerdaly. < eyes rolling >

See if you can remove the ear pad from the can. There is usually screws on the speaker plate holding it to the cup back. Hope this helps

Not sure if the TV headphone jack would give you stereo out, but you can try that. If it's 1/4" jack, you'll need a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter.

If that doesn't work, you can use an male RCA Y cable to female 1/8" stereo jack.

You should be able to find both items at your local Radio Shack or possibly Best Buy.

Hi cshunter34

I couldn't locate any info on your remote, but the usual reset solution if by depressing a reset button that may look like the type your press with a ballpoint pen. check the back and under the battery cover also. If you cant find one, then take the batteries out and leave it overnight and then put them back in the following day and see what happens. If all this fails, please let me know and we can try some more options.

Sometimes you need to "burn in" your headphones. Used headphones usually produce a better sound than new ones. Simply let it play some music continuously. I usually burn in my headphones with some AM/FM static.
After a while, the sound should improve.
Good luck!
