It doesn't have a built in speaker. I connect to the audio output with headphones.

Headphones needed. No external speaker. They do have a model with weather band and an external speaker.

I purchased this 2 months ago and love it for swimming. I do not like the headphone that came with it. I purchased different headphones. This unit will not work without headphones, no built in speakers. You might be able to hook it up to a small set of speakers???

This unit has no speakers, it is made to use with an amplifier. You can use headphones or earbuds for "silent practice", but it needs an amp to be heard, if you use it to play out at a club or concert.

You do not have to connect headphones but if you connect a large jack headphones should be heard but I have not tried it so.

This is a component, not a stand alone unit. You can use headphones and it sounds okay but otherwise you need a receiver/amp and speakers.

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.

I do not believe it can. It only has a USB charging port and a headphone jack. It does have small speakers so you can listen without headphones.

Apparently there are no internal speakers for this Sony Walkman. Headphones are needed to listen to music on this device. -Ely

No....only an external speaker can be connected (which is highly recommended)

There is no external speaker. This is a very good bluetooth headphone set. It has a 12hr battery life.

It has a headphone jack.... So I'm not sure if that will answer your question. But it's only a speaker. Exchange for earphones style.

It does not. You would need an external speaker to use without ear/head phones

Well, it has a tiny little speaker on the front panel but (even though I am very hard of hearing) the sound quality stinks. I wouldn't recommend using it without earphones except to check that your earphones are working.

There is a line in jack on one side, but no line out (headphone) jack. This is generally the case for most external speakers.
