Some kind of headphones/earbuds will certainly come with it. I'm not sure what the precise accessories are for the US model. Best to ask the mailing list. >Is there a unit out there that actually has a speaker for listening >to vs alwa ys using a headset? The old Sony MZ-B3. I think it may still be sold in Japan. It's very old (MZ-R2 era unit) and the speaker is tiny. I think a small madern boombox (like the Casio being sold recently at J and R in NYC) would be a better bet if you had to have a speaker. >2.

I'm forwarding your note to the MD mailing list, in case others wish to respond.
