Need a player that is pretty loud without earphones - how are the speakers on this one?

I gave this to my nephew, and he loves it. Regarding the speakers, I can't really say, but I know he is very pleased with it. You can always return it if you don't like it. Good luck!

The speakers are pretty good but the dvd player does not last very long before it quits,working

You need an amplifier. Just connect the amp to the player and the speakers to the amp. You can probably find how to connect amps and speakers on google.

I found the sound to be adequate if you had the player on your lap or very close. My hearing is not perfect but I do hear normal sound. It would depend on how badly your dad's hearing is impaired.

Also was going to buy, but opted for a very cheap MP3 player ($12.99), $.99 brown noise song (74 mins), and used my iHome portable speaker (~$20)-all from Amazon. Cheaper and I can use the things separately when I want. My husband does have to turn it on when he gets up, but no biggie.

It works well with good earphones! However, it needs to be connected to an amplifier and speakers to enjoy it without earphones.

I can't answer about playlists because I stopped using this device a few days after I got it. It's cheap and lacks even basic functions such as shuffle. For sure it doesn't have speakers.

You would find it better to connect speakers directly to your player. For an outdoor setting you will need some strong sound amplification.

dognorts answer is exactly what i was going to say... i quote: "Not to bad, but will depend on how loud you play them, and the ambient noise."

I love mine. The volume is pretty good and quite clear--better than giant flatscreens with Clearvoice. There is a jack for headphones which I never use, but I sit pretty close to mine. I sit on chaise lounge & put DVD player on tabletop. The volume isn't very very loud so you may want to splurge and get the next level that is Internet ready & Bluetooth enabled so you can hook up to speakers by wireless. I don't think there's Bluetooth on this model. But I love mine!

Yes I have used the player with a pair of Beyers at 250. But as to your own personal taste you may want a separate amp.

I am currently using a pair of Pioneer SP-BS22-LR Andrew Jones Designed Bookshelf Loudspeakers. they sound very good. other ppl suggested using a pair of Sony SS-B1000 5-1/4-Inch Bookshelf Speakers would be a good idea too. I will try to post a video with my setup.

I purchased one of these a couple of months ago and the sound is OK, nothing spectacular. You should be able to hear it though; so you may consider sending it back. Knowing that the sound volume isn't so great, I already had a small bluetooth speaker that I connected to this TV/DVD player and it soinds fantastic. I used a straight wire to hook up the external speaker because this player doesn't have bluetooth capabilities. You can purchase on of these speakers from Amazon at a very reasonable price, around $30. It is very small and will make a big difference in the sound performance.

Hi, I bought this for my daughter and she hasn't complain about it. maybe some people bought the defected ones. I don't know but the thing doesn't sound very good but its not horrible either. Ive heard you can upgrade the speakers but it already sounds loud enough.

The sound is not great, but I barely use that. You can hook it to another speaker or ise earphones. I have not tried another speaker yet.

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

Hey thank you very much for your info. Is there any better MP3 players? Like which ones?Thank you once again!

I have found that it's best to control the volume mostly with your device. I have previously only had the smaller version of these speakers and they would get staticky if I played it with the speakers on loud all the time.
