@Phipli , @ClassicGuyPhilly , moved this here because there was too much to say for a profile post:
So, yes, they use the one-off Apple mini-mini plug. Interestingly, they are made to work seamlessly with the iSub on the QuickSilver. If you have the Pro Speakers plugged in only, they output the full audio range. When the iSub is plugged in, the machine routes the bass frequencies away from the Pro Speakers to the iSub ( which is USB-based). They are a pretty good combination, and make games very enjoyable.
I don’t believe they are quite as good as the full soundsticks package. I’ve had the first gen, USB-based soundsticks since 2000 when I got my iMac DV SE. I have used them with whatever my current machine is since then! I replaced the speakers in one stick so far: they do wear with age.
