Are headphones required to hear what is be played? My kids are too small to use headphones. A few reviewers mentioned a wireless transmitter...

Give it a shot. Buy some kids headphones so the volume won't go too high. I was surprised when my kids were able to use them at 4 and 2.

No, headphones aren't required, there is a volume dial on the side of the player.

Headphones are not required, but the speakers are not very good, so it is hard to hear over car noise.

You don't have to use headphones, both have speakers with their own volume control. The actual volume varies a bit depending on what media format is being used and road noise however the grandkids (ages 2 & 4) have yet to complain that they can't hear. There are also headphone jacks for older children.

Headphones are not required. I have a one year old and a 6 year old this may be the best purchase I have ever made!!! Sound is pretty good.

You have to play music at a high volume for others close around you to hear it. The headphone has little sound leakage, but if others around you can hear music well, you are probably listening at a level unsafe for yourself. When I let my grandson use them, I did not hear sounds. Hope this helps

Please Note, you definitely CAN'T use headphones with this player. There is a jack but it's not for headphones. It's to play an ipod/mp3 player over the speakers.

Yes needs to be hook through game pad and volume has to be turned up on the game pad. Some games will Ask you if you want to use the headphones on the game pad click yes.

You can use headphones. It isnt Bluetooth capable, but its a good little player

It only has a normal headphone jack. You would need some sort of headphones that plugged into the headphone jack. A bluetooth transmitter + wireless headphones for example.

There is a USB transmitter but it is wireless. So, the sound comes from the USB transmitter, and it does have wireless bluetooth. You can also plug in a 3.5mm cable from your phone, ipod, mp3 player, exc.

I bought the pink version for my then 6 year old daughter. She LOVES it, but after hearing how * little* she could actually hear, we ended up buying a small amp that fit perfectly, and a cord to go along with it, so yes. An amp is necessary, in my opinion, because otherwise you hear only the tiniest tinny sound.

I returned these headphones. The volume is VERY LOW and the reception is very poor. I can't recall for sure, but I think they use an IR signal which is very directional. I would look at something with BT. Even if you need to add a BT Transmitter, it will be a much better option.

Sorry to say that the only person who'll hear the drummer w/the headset plugged in is YOU! So...you get the drum noise + your little drummers voice. Better to get yourself some earplugs. LOL But the kids DO love it!! Hope this helps.

I think you purchased the spare headset and not the complete set with transmitter. I bought this item after I got the original set, so two of us can listen at the same time. Oops!

You might be able to get some type of speaker for the player. Other than that possibility, you do have to have some kind of headphones to listen to it.

No they don't. You have to control the volume with the device that you plug the headphone into. The headphone's sound is pretty good, I usually set the volume low and my son (5yo) fixes it if needed.

No there isn't a plug for a headphone, sorry. I really do love it otherwise. But for a young person in their rooms they might want headphones, or at least the parents might!!

My daughter says that there is a headphone jack. I just had her check. She absolutely loves this sound system. We've had it a year since last Christmas and the sound is great. Believe me.....I can hear it from her room! Ha!

What am I missing....the radio comes with earbuds....headphones will work with the same jack (common item)....it is not wireless

It can connect to the radio wirelessly or to an extra set of headphones wirelessly. But i get static sometimes through the radio. Head phones are much better so that the kids can watch a show and i can listen to something different. The only wired connections that you need with this unit are at the dome light.
