Do I need to hook up external speakers to be able to hear other callers questions/comments? Or can I hear them through this device?

You will need external speakers. This is a mic, only; although it does have a monitor jack for headphones (so you can hear what the mic is picking up).

This is a mic. A very good mic. It hears whatever you hear. I use it for conferences I record. It pics up all sounds at a good distance. Very pleased

Sorry for delay: holidays. No, there is no provision for external speakers.

No, you are unable to do so. The device itself has an ear piece and microphone built into it. You can listen to the conversation later via headphones but not concurrently.

Hi! Speaker is not the selling point...just display. You may want to get an external speaker wired or bluetooth.

You can make and answer calls in speaker mode. It is pretty low volume to hear so may have trouble if in a place with lots of noise. I usually just play music which is great sound quality so not sure this case is for you.

I agree with Joseph. You can use the auxiliary / headphone port to attach external speakers

If you're connected to it through your Bluetooth, the phone call will come through that--you will hear them through the speaker. Obviously you will still need to talk back through the phone as your voice will not be picked up by this speaker. It is not a microphone.

There are no external speaker outputs. There is an audio input. If you want to send an audio signal to this monitor and another source like external speakers, just splitthe signal before the input.

Luke, I don't know. I haven't tried to hook up any external speakers. Sorry

Wear either their light soft headphones or your earbuds. No external speaker included, I'm not sure about plugin-auxillary speaker.

Yes, you will have to have the headset on to answer, there is unfortunately no speaker function. I wish there was.

I don't know the answer. I'm just a tv watcher. There are no external speakers.

Yes it can connect. Can the people hear you when you speak? Not unless you're yelling into it.

You can if you purchase a daisy chain box. You can't directly from the phone. To be sure it does what you want, please contact the vendor. They are awesome. We purchased 2 of these for our large conference room and we do not have to use external speakers. That works for us. Not necessarily for you.

I believe stinkbug's answer is correct. you must select the external speakers in the sound preferences in your settings.

Funny you mention it. I've read a few people stating so, not many though. I think people are more worried about hearing others, not others hearing them. However, this is the key feature I'm looking for. I'm trying to replace my Panasonic KX-TG2730, which my Dad can't hear me on at all. I thought he was going deaf, until a house guest called me at work from my phone and I realized it's been my phone the whole time. I have numerous other people asking me to speak up too. I would like this phone, it's got excellent reviews, but I'm going to do a little more research first.

I have my setup as external as well and I don't have an issue with hearing the calls. It may be an issue with the device itself. You can try and do a firmware update to it via Pioneer's site to see if that corrects the issue. Also the MIC could be in a bad position as well..
