new to MP3 players: Can you use them without headphones?

Fussy About Clock Radios, If you are looking for an iPod that does not need headphones then I suggest looking out for an iPod Touch. As far as I know they are the only type of iPod that headphones are not a needed item, but the sound quality drops to only okay. iPod docks do have speakers. They also charge your iPod (depending on what type of dock). Some docks can even function as an alarm clock. I hope this helped. Godspeed! ~SWWPD

Yes there is an auxiliary input to which you can connect an external mp3 player. Aleast there was last I checked. :)

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

I do not use headphones. I use ear buds and I have my own. This is a very simple little machine. No cameras, telephones or music just AM/FM radio which is what I like

Yes, you can hear without headphones. You can translate from english to spanish and viceversa

You won't solve that problem with the headphones themselves. What you need is a headphone amplifier and potentially a DAC (there are many DAC/AMP combos). These devices will enhance and/or override the mp3 player's internal digital components with better ones. FYI: "Active" usually refers to noise cancelling as far as I know.

There is not. However, I'm confused as to why you'd need one. When I need to use my headphones, I simply unplug my speakers from my computer and plug in the headphones. The speakers won't help amplify or equalize your headphones in any way, so I'd just as soon bypass them when I need my headphones.

No headphones are needed. This is a standard size radio, and the sound is wonderful. It's clearer than many radios I've bought in the past. We bought one for the living room to hear local news and weather and liked it so much we bought one for the kitchen.

No headphones are included, so you will need to buy them or use the fm modulation.

Hazel, No, you must use it with headphones, or use a plug Adaptor for Speaker.

No, there is not a way to use these with an MP3 player. There are no connections to plug any thing into this head set. They do work very well for the purpose of target shooting.

You can use it without headphones or with them. The sound can be set very loud if you like.

Yes, you will need ear buds (or earphones) to listen through a jack. It doesn't have external speakers.

You are able to use the headphone jack using the provided adaptor cable, which screws into the jack port. Without the adaptor the headphone jack will not reach into a proper engaged position. Its all included but you have to make sure you keep up with the adaptor for headphone listening.

Never tried it but I can't imagine how a mp3 player could work as there is no input. The only jacks available are one for headphones (at the lower part of the device) and a pair of RCA for stereo outlet easily seen on the picture up right corner.

no. you plug into a port and it uses the electricity from you laptop....so, the answer is no, you do not need headphones.

You will need an amp. Unfortunately a regular mp3 or anything that simply plays music will not generate enough watts to properly power the headphones. You can still use the headphones without an amp, but they will be seriously underpowered. To the point sound will be a whisper no matter how loud you turn up the volume.
