we had a train go by while our band was practicing and you can not only hear the train with all the bass rumbling/shaking, the sound of the train moved from left to right in headphones as it went by
from www.amazon.com
so you have to bring headphones to check your recordings.
from www.amazon.com
oh, i also love the ease with which tascam made it to set the levels, where you simply hit the record button once, which turns on the microphones without starting recording, allowing you to listen on

you might as well use headphones, plug into powered pc speakers, or transfer the files to a pc since the tiny built in speaker is not very useful.

for the quiet parts of lecture i listen to it with headphones and i can hear everything really well.
from www.amazon.com
i've only loaded a couple songs on it, but it's easy to do and sounds great, even with twinky headphones.
from www.amazon.com
the recordings sound much better through headphones or computer speakers than through the device speakers - but hey - that's how i planned to use it.
from www.amazon.com
better to use headphones or transfer to your computer, which is also a cinch.

playback with headphones is awesome with either recorded items or mp3/wma files in music mode.
from www.amazon.com
the bundled headphones are similar to the white ipod headphones in both look and quality even though some may want to use their favorite brand as these do get a bit uncomfortable in the ears after
from www.amazon.com
i'm surprised by the audio quality of this device (through headphones or a decent speaker, of course).
from www.amazon.com
make: put the mic and headphone jacks in two different places, and put the headphone jack away from the internal mics because rubbing the wire (if recording while wearing headphones) causes noise.

Audiovox RP5120

$104.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i mostly dictate, and if i use headphones to listen, the playback is quite good.
from www.amazon.com
on the minus side, the volume setting could be stronger but a decent set of headphones will assist in hearing that which has been previously recorded.

from www.amazon.com
when you use headphones or earbuds, though, it sounds excellent.
from www.amazon.com
it is good to check playback but i would use headphones or play through another powered device if you really need to hear the recording.
from www.amazon.com
it plays back well with the speaker or with headphones.
from www.amazon.com

Olympus VN4100PC Digital

$103.00 Est. at Amazon

from Mark E. from Minnesota, clickfrom.buy.com
the downside includes poor speaker quality and not stereo for headphones/ear pieces.
from dylan from houston, clickfrom.buy.com
very easy to use and high quality sound recording, but don't come with headphones.
from www.amazon.com

from www.amazon.com
i haven't tried using headphones with it and expect that would sound better.
from www.amazon.com
the only thing i have to say would that would be negative would be that when i plug in the headphones to listen to my recordings, only the left earbud works.
