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. I bought mine from another seller via Amazon. The remote doesn't work for mine. But I love that I can listen to my music without headphones.

Yes, they can be used without an amp and do well without one, even straight form an iPhone. But like any headphones would benifet from a dedicated DAC/amp. Headphones that need higher input (amp) will be rated at 150 ohm on up to 600 ohm. If only using standard computer mp3 output, look in the 20-60ohm range.

No. There is a headphone jack. I'm not sure how it would work if you got a heaphone-to-RCA adapter cable and connected the RCA side to a stereo. There is a headphone-level *input* to play your MP3 over this radio's speaker.

Yes, just plug your mp3 player into the auxiliary port using a cable with miniplug. You can also buy a small Bluetooth transmitter that plugs into your headset port and play your mp3 wirelessly.

Yes, you can use headphones. There is a standard headphone jack in the bottom left corner, it is outlined in green and has a graphic of a headphone above it.

Yes, and it's very useful to do so. Conversely, you can listen to music without a battery in the headphones (but you'll need to switch the device to "off").

Yes and No. To use your headphones you'll have to plug it into the source.However, there is the same size jack input if you wanted to use your ipod or whatever as the source. There are RCA inputs as well.

Yes! You can use it without earphones and the volume is good. However, because the batteries are small (AAA), the louder you play it the quicker the batteries go. Using the earphones allows the batteries to last longer. It is the best really pocket-sized radio that I have ever seen.

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.

Hi, no. This is a very simple am fm radio. You can use headphones, but it is not in stereo. Only mono playing out of both ear speakers.

I don't think the player came with headphones but I have plugged in headphones to listen and I have a small portable speaker I have plugged in to use. There is no built in speaker on the player. I bought this particular player because I had the exact same one and used it for years. You can adjust some of the sound elements based on music type and the player picks up am & fm radio quite well

I also wanted to use it with headphones but it doesn't seem to have that function. The place by the volume control is to plug a mp3 player into (input but not output), so I guess that you can't use headphone with this product (bummer).

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

Yes. They need to be powered speakers in order to get any kind of volume out of the player. MP3 players are designed to work primarily with headphones so they don't, as a rule, have a high-wattage output. I hook my Sansa up periodically to powered computer speakers in the living room (cheaper than a new stereo). Works well for background music.
