How is the volume? I have 2 kids who share the DVD and prefer not to use headphones, my youngest is only 2 years old.

my kids do not use headphones in our van. when we're on the highway it does get louder obviously from road noise and the volume won't go up any further. To me and my husband, we are thankful it doesn't go any louder. it works just fine for my kids. My one daughter does sometimes put the earbuds in. so I would say it works OK with no headphones.

I have 5 kids, and have bought one of these for each child as the "daddy gift", so they have had them since birth. My 7 year old son, and 4 year old daughter, still, want them for bedtime. Not for the "night light", but they are used to the sound. It was always set on the "running water" sound. To this day, if it is not on that, they will correct it. Every now and then, in the middle of the night, I will hear "their fish", so no, not to old in my opinion. She will probably get used to it as well and use it for years.

It is not very loud which we like since most baby toys are way too loud. My Niece loves it and has no problem hearing it. Their pediatrician has recommended low volume toys since babies are just developing.

you may check the system volume under settings on the tablet. My daughter is age 8 has a normal volume level I invested in a pair of headphones for her to save my sanity good luck:)

Hi Kelly,I think that you would need to buy the small plug adapter. I will tell you that this thing sounds great and has been used non stop by a 2-1/2 year old, and a 4-1/2 year old for over a year with no problems. The volume is constantly being changed, as are the selected songs. It's been a great gift.

You are welcome to buy mine. We did not like the system or the sound quality. Or I will just give to the kids to play with like the toys that they are.

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!

There is only one volume setting, however the sound is pleasant (my daughter and all the guest children like it). The sound is close to that of original music instruments, and the music is classical, so it is not irritiating.

The headphones have a rolling button that allow you to adjust the volume up and down to what you feel is comfortable for your child or they can do it themselves . I haven't had any issues with my children messing with the volume once I get it adjusted, but it is right on the cord and close to their little hands. If they wanted to they could change the volume on their own. You cannot "lock" the volume in place.

Hello...I have 3 kids ages 3, 7 and 9 and:- In my opinion it's loud enough for kids play (maybe not for some professional usage)- The unit is about the size of an iPad but much lighter- Yes, I think that a 2 year old can make it work but will need an older person to download music to it via a computer if you want more than just the 2 default songsHope this helps :)

I have played a CD in the portable DV/CD. it sounds fine for me. I don't know if you might want a louder sound, I hear it mainly during the night & don't need a louder sound, that's why I got a portable one. it's what you prefer. the sound is not as loud as some people might want.

The volume is great. Can be too loud when it's on the back of your headrest. I don't think you will have a problems hearing your movies.

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.

Although the Wii is a nice change... I prefer the DVD over the Wii workout. The music is much more fun, and I prefer to see the live instructors over the cartoon ones on the Wii.

No one else here to complain except the cats. I don't use headphones, so I just bring down the volume on the music and play along. With a TV on in the next room it shouldn't be a problem! Unless your pretty bad! Ha! Enjoy.....

Hi. The sound is ok but at higher volumes dialogue tends to sound garbled. I have some hearing loss myself and I prefer to use headphones when I'm using the unit. If you're viewing with a friend a pair of headphones can be used by getting a cheap splitter available at any electronics store. It may even have come with one - I don't remember. Cannot beat the picture quality and sturdiness though.

Sorry, I can not help you, it was a gift for my great nephew. At the time I printed one of the reviews regarding the volume setting, since that was the only troublesome issue. Look in the reviews for guidance. Good luck!
