Do I need to use the ear buds to hear what's been recorded?

I really don't know. I sent my back the very next day. the sound was terrible

No. It isn't necessary, fortunately since the ear-buds are uncomfortable. The speakers are rather loud, and can sometimes come off static-y, so it is best to transfer the file to your computer to edit it for clarity.

you can hear without the earbuds but volumn is very low. I had trouble transfering recorded material to my PC It only plays when recorder is plugged into the computer with usb cord.

no you do not need to use earbuds. this device has a built in speaker. however the quality of the speaker is vey poor and volume is low. for this reason i returned my unit to amazon. crs

I don't think the ear buds will have any effect on the sound. Base might be controlled by your device.

Yes. You hear recording through headphones with all inputs: built-in mic, external mic and line-in.

No, no recording here. Meloson is a simple but useful radio. You can listen to AM and FM, plus you can listen to you own music stored in a mini SD card.

You can use your earbuds but you will not be able to record. You will hear the music.

Yes, you will need a recording program. I use Audicity which is a free program and works great for all my recordings.

Only with ear-buds. The speaker volume is barely adequate with the player sitting in my lap.

Yes, it record the sound as well, BUT, this camera have a case and that decrease the sound, in my opinion is better to use the camera with the case to protect it (in case you are using the camera outside or in a motorcycle). Later i will attach a link with this review, so you can see how it looks like

Yes - you need to use a recording app with high quality recording settings and If you want to hear what's happening on your headphones the app has to have a monitoring option built in as well. I use Fire 2, but I don't think that's in the App Store anymore so look for the best recording program available.

Mine records audio from the camera. It doesn't hear you as much on the bike though.

The speaker isn't loud or very good quality.. But it does let you verify you are recording something.. :)

No, the unit has built in speakers. When there is a lot of ambient noise the earbuds or headset come in handy.

No, it is a MP3 *player*/radio. It doesn't say anything about recording. If you want to record from this radio, you might search for a recording device and a cable to plug it in to the stereo headphone output.

Yes, you may use the speakers or ear buds. My motorcycle is so loud that I have to use ear buds to protect my hearing let alone hear the music.

You've got it right--there's no way other than the phones/lineout jack. I've played recordings through my sound systems' aux input fine so I haven't found it to be a problem.

Not sure, it is of lesser quality than I expected. Sound system wouldn't be very good for recording if it did have the option. It is more for juvenile use where they don't care how it sounds.

Do you mean, your own recording is played back clearly through the ears? If that's what you mean, that'll be a setting in your microphone options, usually in Windows. If you mean can you hear yourself talking because the ear phones aren't 100% sound proof, then yes you can hear yourself speaking, but I feel like that's not what you mean.
