yes the sound system is lousy along with the fact that it would not play the dvds thats why i sent it back. its a piece of junk. they wouldn't even send another unit just gave my money back

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

I found the sound amplitude weak. You don't need headphones but they would certainly help.

Yes, but the headphones do not fit tight to the ears. You can hear external noises unless you have the volumn turned all the way up. Then people around you can hear what you are playing. For the price they are not worth it.

As long as there is not a lot of background noise. Of course you will have to wear the headband with the ear buds in your ears.My husband uses them for watching DVDs mainly - even then, the background music drowns out the spoken words.

First of all, you do need headphones to listen to discs. Secondly, why would you even consider using this for everyone in the room to hear when there are so many other ways you can play discs from speakers. I consider this a portable instrument for personal listening so that I don't bother people that don't agree with my selection of discs.

What do you mean by background music? These headphones pick up all intended sounds in the program you are watching which is pretty cool. The sounds around you, including your wife's voice are minimized. Try these, you'll wonder how you got along without them. I was ready to give up watching movies until I got these.

The radio has a built in speaker so yes you can listen to it without using headphones.

Actually yes. Here recently on a long car trip with my brother, he plugged them into the head phone jack and didn't have any issues hearing the movie!

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

depends on how hearing impaired. I wear hearing aids and the earphones are a real treat to hear all of the sounds of the scene.I suggest that you try before buying if possible.

I don't use them to watch movies in computer. I only watch movies in cinema. I think their sound won't be bad. howerver, in my opinion, selecting an slightly lighter headphone is better.

Murray,There is no headphone jack so to use any headphone for listening to the TV, you would need to connect the TOSLINK/Optical output on the side of the TV to an optical audio input of a home theater receiver. From there it's just a matter of selecting the optical input of the receiver as a listening source. Notice that I mentioned "home theater" as opposed to stereo receiver. The former can decode the compressed Dolby Digital surround signal from the sound of some TV broadcasts and DVDs. The latter can't. Some older home theater receivers (pre-Dolby Digital) models don't have fiber optic inputs at all. In that case, you're out of luck.

If the movie makes a sound through the corded headphone jack it will output to the bluetooth transmitter. It doesn't distinguish one source from another.

The volume is great. Can be too loud when it's on the back of your headrest. I don't think you will have a problems hearing your movies.

Yes, you can enjoy listening to all the functions without headphones. After purchasing our unit on amazon.com we found the same unit for much less at Walmart. Enjoy!

Don't know. But like most small handheld devices the sound quality and volume is not all that great for music or movie watching. You need to use the ear buds or a quality Bluetooth speaker for those purposes.

No. You have to use ear buds, phones, or some other external speaker; anything using a 3.5 mm headphone jack
