Hi all, Yes, both the BrailleNote and the VoiceNote from PDI have earphones. I alternate between using speech and using Braille on my unit. I like having the freedom to do that. However, if cost is a factor, then go with the VoiceNote. Ann P. -- Ann K. Parsons email: akp@xxxxxxxxx WEB SITE: http://home.eznet.net/~akp "All that is gold does not glitter.
