Can you plug headphones into alphie so that the child is the only one who can hear it??

It's been a while since I bought this item, but if I remember right you can

Yes you can. It can be set to extremely loud to hear but when they speak into it they will have to back away from the transmitter as they speak back to you or it will sound garbled.

Yes, this is exactly how we use this. You push the talk button and can speak into the room where the other unit is placed. One challenge- if your kids have headphones on, they may not hear you. There is also a cAll button that is a ringer to help get there attention before you speak. Great device!

I don't know about the headband but they can still hear with the plugs. It might be a little bit muffled but mine still responded as usual.

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.

I think mine was almost two when we tried headphones for the first time. It took a minute, but worked out great. It'll be fine. You have Baby Einstein or Gigglebellies? Those are two of our faves.

are you just looking for noise blockers? Check this link, many of these are available on Amazon: http://www.friendshipcircle.org/blog/2012/03/21/8-headphones-for-children-with-autism-and-auditory-processing-disorder/ We are happy with Kidz Gear and even bought a replacement when our son chewed the cable, but will not recommend it for a baby. The wireless version might be okay.

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.

Definitely. Turn it on away from kid to begin with and let them come up and hear it. Depending on age and noise fright the kids might be afraid of the noise. Or put in those cheap noise ear sponges. Will not cut the skin or ear, etc. Perfectly great for kids.

My son always seemed to hear me. I bought the ear plugs and the headband but my son didn't care for the headband and the plugs never came out so I only used it a handful of times

Unfortunately, it does not have that capability. The ChatterVOX is designed as a loudspeaker. With that, if there was a way to connect headphones to the speaker it would damage both the headphones and the listener's ears. A listening station would have that feature available though.

I would use it with a really good headphone and he should have no problem with hearing it. You can use it any where and it is easy to carry.

honestly, not sure they've tried...my kids. There is an "aux" and "phones" jacks in the back.

Yes! We used an inexpensive headset with a microphone that plugged into the computer (USB connection)..My son did voice overs and was able to add background music.

While you can talk through the microphone, there is VERY little amplification, so the voice of the child drowns out anything coming from the device.

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.

No, you can only hear the sound via headphones, you have to purchase an amplifier seperately. there is a input for headphones and for amplifier.
