Do I need additional speakers to hear the sound? Will any headphone set do?

Thank you for your inquiry. There is no onboard speaker so you will need either a pair of headphones or external speakers for the RD-300NX. It has a standard 1/4" headphone jack which you can use with any headphone of your choice. There are also two 1/4 inch speaker outputs which you can connect to powered speakers.

You need an amp/receiver with speakers.....or you can use just headphones with the unit

there is not an external speaker. headphones only unless you buy some of the small add on speakers. but be sure to read the reviews on them, some will only put out enough volume for one or two people to hear.

According to the manual yes, also has built in speakers for audio. I haven't tried them out personally so can't speak to the sound quality.

The speakers themselve should be enough. I have a crappy sound card and these speakers sound wonderful! Good luck. They're awesome!

I agree with Joseph. You can use the auxiliary / headphone port to attach external speakers

You will need powered external speakers if you plan not to use a receiver. In other words, speakers which have their own volume control.

You can use any standard headphones. And as with Kalela's answer, try an upgrade.

No. You have to use ear buds, phones, or some other external speaker; anything using a 3.5 mm headphone jack

Yes, pre-installed speakers. You can use any speaker system that plugs into the headphone jack, as well.

If you already have speakers, get a receiver or amplifier. Amazon should have an assortment to browse.

The speakers are nothing to write home about. You want to get an external set of speakers to get any kind of sound quality but the soundcard is okay!

Of course. That's all I use it for myself. You'll want a nice pair of headphones or speakers, as the built-in speakers are understandably weak

Check to see if your getting noise without the headphones. If you get static using speakers, then this won't do anything for you.

The built-in speakers are "tinny" . . . No bass . . . I like music, so I have Bose speakers, one on each side of the screen. Sorry!

If you want sound, you need a sound card. Speakers alone will not work. Check this out about how sound cards work: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/sound-card.htm

Nope-not without a separate amplifier fed from the low level headphone jack
