I have had the same question after buying it, I can barley hear the playback, Which is why i dont use it anymore

No, you do not need ear phones to hear it being played. I have been using it in my classroom.

NO, but it but it does not play really loud so if there is background noise then you might like to use earphones.

No headphones aren't necessary. My husband uses it in his semi and even with the background noise you can hear it fine.

I have had the same question after buying it. I can barely hear the playback. Which is why I don't use it anymore.

Yes, just plug it in. The sound is far better with headphones and you won't disturb anyone nearby. Enjoy!

Short answer is yes. If you want to hear the music at any sort of volume that's louder than your phones ringtone you need to plug one of the outputs from the supplied cable into either a stereo or powered speakers.

Yes. There is earphone access. It is one of the access points that doesn't have a cover you need to move to plug in.

Sorry - no you can't hear the sound without either the headphones plugged in or the use of external speakers.

You may have to use the ear buds. When I play if you are closer to the player you can hear it but not the entire room. For that you may have to connect it to an external powered speaker.

Yes to both questions. The player has a speaker that plays clearly, without distortions. You may, also, if you choose, plug in ear phones. I love this small player, it slips into a pocket and I can listen to calming music, when the surrounding noise (voices), gets irritating and loud. Nice little unit, can listen for hours. ^_^

No. if you are considering using headphones I'd suggest downloading a white noise or sleep aid app on your phone and plug in your headphones into that.

no you can not. I tried to do that but the best I could do is set the microphone next to my phones speaker to have the music play.

Not a dumb question at all. I can hear the ringer, I just can't talk on it without the headphones plugged in. I like the feel of the headphones on my ear but there is always some hissing noise that I didn't have on my last phone.

Its not bluetooth compatable. You plug it in through the headphone jack. It works with any device through the headphone jack. Its just to play it through the radio no more no less. If you remeber the old cd converters from the 90s, its the same thing. So yes you will be able to plug in your ipad and listen through the cassett.

As far as I can tell, if you can play it on your iPhone you can hear it through the speakers.

NO. You have a CD Player that you listen through the ear phones or through a receiver that has an input device. Cassette players are available from Amazon at very reasonable price.

Once you get the music to play you should be able hear calls through the speakers. At least thats how my phone works but im not sure if its different for iphone

Yes you can, but I usually use the mute feature on my phone. The device comes with a instruction book that tells you how to mute it.

Yes. . . . But you can't hear it at all unless you turn it all the way up . . . And even then you can barely hear it. Save your money. It's junk
