Does this unit have built-in speakers? I am looking for something to play CD tracks out lout that is easy to carry in a briefcase.

No It doesn't have built in speakers. For that you would have to get a separate set of speakers that would fit in a briefcase. There are a number of brands that are very small with great sound.

No Joy, you don't HAVE to buy speakers for this.. but if you want to listen to the audio output you'll either need headphones or speakers + speaker cable + an amplifier.If you only want to 'rip' CDs to USB devices, you don't need either but you won't hear anything.

No, this unit does not have built-in speakers. You will need external speakers or a headset to listen to what is playing. The speakers connect to the "Line out" on the back using RCA connectors (you can find RCA to 3.5mm cables if needed to attach to your equipment). Headphones can be plugged in to the front of the machine. The connection is for a 1/4 inch cable. You can get a "1/4 inch male to 3.55mm female" adapter if your headphones have a 3.55mm plug. You can also connect from the "Line-Out" on the back of the device to the "Line-in" on your computer audio card (if it has that) and listen through the speakers attached to your computer. Depending on your audio card, you would need either an RCA to RCA cable or an RCA to 3.5mm cable to plug in to it. I hope this helped.

It plays regular CDs, but, on mine, at least, the sound for each track doesn't kick in immediately, but has a quick but noticable fade-in. Slightly annoying with songs that are supposed to start loud. I would have returned it for that reason, except it is not easy to find boomboxes for that price and sound quality that play audio-in rather than requiring an overspecialized iPod dock.

It does have built-in speakers and the sound is great! You can adjust the volume foryour listening preference.

It does not have bulit in speakers, so you have to use ear plugs. You can connect the unit to bluetooth speakers, though.

No. The unit does not come with either buit-in or external speakers. It does however have the necessary input/output jacks to which you can connect speakers.

No, it has no built-in player of any sorts. It does connect to a CD player by way of audio input (cord).

You can think of this as USB (or in-line) Speaker with microphone inputs. There is no CD or video on this unit.If you can play CD on your PC, then you can route the audio output to this device,

It does not have any place to put in a CD. Only way you can listen to a CD is if you have a portable cd player, and then you can take the output through the Aux cable and connect it to this one and listen to music through the speakers. It can act as a speaker for a cd player using the Aux. cable, for someone that does not want to use the headphones, or if multiple people want to listen to the cd over the speaker.

All I see on it is an "Aux in" plug, where you can presumably plug in an external source (like a tape deck), and there's also a USB jack on the front, which I've never used for anything. If you have USB speakers you might try them out and if they work then USB headphones might also, if there is such a thing as USB headphones. I just listen to CDs on the built-in speakers so I haven't tried out all the features. If the user manual is on-line it may have more info. Good luck! Marie

It has internal speakers, but they sound not as loud as one would think. My opinion though...

Yes , this little thing had a built in speaker that sounded pretty good considering it's size. There is a version that has a built in speaker in the back, and there is a version that does not. Get the one with the speaker, it's worth it !

No. the description says it has a "3.5mm Stereo Headphone Jack", which is why I ordered it. Well, it doesn't. What it DOES have is an input jack for an external MP3 device. It appears to be almost impossible to find a portable CD player like this with a headphone jack; you're probably better off getting a personal player if you want to use headphones.

This unit has no internal speakers like some older units did. It can be plugged into other sound equipment.

There is no case and the unit has to be plugged in. I was looking for a more portable unit but traded that for the sound quality this one has.

to be honest I have only playes CD and it does sound pretty good. all four speakers are good. I usually plug my itouch and it works just fine.
