Does it have a speaker function (hand free), or do we have to use a headphone? Also how's the sound quality on the recorded msg (answering system)?

There is a speaker on the base unit and all 3 handsets. The sound quality is excellent.

It is for my parents as a gift from me. I just know what they tell me. They said the answering machine is good quality sound. They don't use hands free I don't think.

Yes there is a headphone jack!! I honestly have found that any headphones do the job. Noise canceling headphones will be better of course for hearing the sounds, but I've used normal earbuds and they work fine. As someone who has been doing video for a few years now, this is one of the best recorders I've ever used. It gives amazing quality sound while being super portable. If you use it to mic someone up, it can fit very easily into a pocket without being 'bulgy'. It also comes with memory already on the device which is unheard of! I haven't even purchased a seperate micro SD card for mine yet because it has enough memory for what I need it for. Hope this helps!! Definitely get this recorder! Yes there is a headphone jack!!

Yes, the handset has a speaker phone feature. The sound is clear and fairly loud even though the speaker is on the back. The handset is curved so the speaker does not get muffled if you set the handset down. I can't speak to the quality on the other end except to say I've had no complaints.

I haven't tried that yet. I would like to know myself. And also what the yellow icon is below the headphone and microphone jacks. If it does record properly (in stereo) email me at halsmithnauvoo@gmail.com. As a fellow-owner, we have to help each other out.

No, the speaker function is by far the weakest feature on this product. My hearing is not bad and sometimes I really have to listen to get the message. Otherwise this is a great phone.

This does not have a speakerphone feature. You listen through the handset as you would with a regular telephone. The handset plugs into the headphone jack of the iPhone.

No, you do not need headphones it has a built in speaker, but it also has a headphone jack if you wanted to use headphones.

While it has a speaker, it is not loud. The speaker will save you if you have no bluetooth device. You will not want to use the speaker as a means to communicate with people as there is no privacy. Get a bluetooth headset and you will be lovin life.

It has a built in microphone, but it dose not pick up well. You have to detach the device and put it close to your mouth. Not so hands free. The rest of the functions are great. Good sound quality, strong FM transmitter and easy controls

It has an audio input/output. I have not used it on mobile devices. I have not yet been able to make the recording function work.

I think I am going to have to exchange this unit, as the speaker appears to be non- functional. I do get tones with spouse's headphones, but currently headphones are required for use.Update: received replacement which works without headphones.

Sir/ma'am,it has a mic on the speakers itself it is on the front. I have used it and the phone calls are really clear on boths ends, and the music is really clear it is a great buy. i am using it for my motorcycle helmet.

it is hands free. a wire goes from ear to ear around the back of your neck and there is an the adjustable mic with a round foam cover. it picks up very well. it looks like the one Madonna uses. I am a clergyman with vocal problems and it is a great product for small groups where there is no PA system. other models I have tried were big and clunky and sounded like a bullhorn. this is small and very clear.

It does not have a microphone, but if they are plugged into your phone, you will hear the other caller through the headphones. You will have to hold your phone's microphone up to your face to have a conversation.
