Hi-Fi and stereo are the same thing?
1514070
Hi-Fi (High Fidelity) refers to the quality of the sound as reproduced by better audio equipment. It can also refer to the audio recording itself. Stereo refers to audio that is recorded on two or more channels, thus producing the separation of sound that most of us refer to as "stereo". I own these speakers and they produce good quality Hi-Fi sound in two channel stereo plus a subwoofer, referred to as 2.1. They are better than I expected given the price. I use these with iPod and iPad.

I have an answer on a similar question that does a good job in explaining what the difference is: "Stereo systems came out early 60's I think. Stereophonic sound divides the sound across two channels (recorded on two separate sources) then the recorded sounds are mixed and some are channelled to a left speaker while the others are channelled to a right speaker.This gave an all round "3-dimensional" sound effect.Hi-fi, which is short for High Fidelity (or high quality) reproduction of the type of sound which is characterised by inferior equipment. So, if you have hi-fi, you expect a better sound, more depth, less hiss."

Not sure about Stereo but it has two speakers, left and right both should be working.

yes, suitable for home hi-fi. amazing accurate sound reproduction across the frequency spectrum. the sound reproduction is 'flat' in that no component of the range is accentuated. this may disappoint some who have become accustomed to 'boomy' bass frequencies. my fav 'cans' for serious listening. I favor this type of on-ear phones as opposed to over ear units like the Momentum

It does play in stereo. Although, the speakers are so close together there really isn't any separation....

One last thing. I forgot to respond earlier. Not sure what you mean by a Stereo Jack. It has a headphone jack that is a Sterno Output. With the proper cable this jack can be connected to a home audio system... not just for a headphone. Keep in mind that the device also has Bluetooth. So audio can be channeled to a Bluetooth speaker or Bluetooth headphone for wireless listening.Jack

You can use one or both. They works well but if you use both you will have an stereo powerfull sound

Yes, but keep in mind it's not really a stereo in the classic sense. CD's sound decent but near as good as a system meant to play them. DVD's on the hand sound pretty amazing considering the fact that it's priced as a budget system. Hope this helped.

It's stereo, but don't buy it. The retaining clip is too weak. Whatever you plug into it, falls right off.

Its gotta be stereo. The box does not specify, as it is 'generic' but it sounds clear on both l/r channels.

No, this is not a stereo system it is simply speakers and subwoofer. Powerful bass boost.

I don't think you can get stereo but it should work fine in Monographic. Best of Luck, Doug

I use a mixer.. Im not sure but I think it makes this stereo if it isn't already. I hear it in both speakers

It's both. If you have a head set, plug the stereo plug into the DAC. Mine works just fine. I use the fiber optic stereo jack for my input into the DAC.

This is a "component " for a stereo system. You hook it into a receiver, an integrated amplifier, or pre-amp - amplifier system. Not to sound like an audio snob or anything, but if you will be satisfied with the sound of an "all-encompassing CD player" then this high-end player is way overkill. On the other hand, it's a great machine and if it's at a good price you can't go wrong buying it now and plugging it into any low-end amplified speaker system today and upgrading later. Best wishes.

It has "Hi-Fi: For an enhanced listening experience" also "Bass speaker to simulate surround sound" Todd (NBQ)

Stereo and sounds incredible for it's size and what it does. But keep in mind the speakers are very close to each other so stereo separation is not good.It does have an audio setting called StereoXL which is a three setting DSP (low, medium, high) to create the illusion of better stereo separation. This works quite well on many audio sources like internet stations etc..

The earphone jack . If you plug a earphone or extension speakers you can hear stereo .
