can you get fm without head/ear phones?

I get both AM and FM Gerry good without head/ear phones.

Even though it's mono, if I plug in a set of earplugs or headphones, will the sound come through both sides of the headphone? Thank you.

Everyone is correct; however, Village Elder posted the most useful answer for this questioner -- buy the cheap stereo-to-mono adapter at Radio Shack to send the signal (same mono, not stereo) to both sides of headphones or earbuds if you want to hear the music/talk in both ears. Otherwise, you get sound only in the left channel from this unit.

I primarily want a radio for AM band use. Does this radio have good AM reception?

This is an A+ shirt pocket radio with amazingly good reception for such a small size. I'm in south central North Carolina and the first night between 2 and 3 AM I picked up WSM Nashville like a local station! Also got WGN Chicago & WLW Cincinnati clearly. All three are 50KW clear channel stations that you'd expect to get on any mediocre radio. However I also picked up WKRD which is a 5KW station in Louisville KY and that one was truly the catch of the night and proved to me that this radio is an AM reception standout. It is a little tricky to tune this little Sony than a larger radio would be since here you are working within about a two inch space to tune the entire AM band, so it takes patience.

How is the sound quality?

The sound quality is great even taking into account that it is just a small, cheap radio. One of the best buys I've ever gotten. I mostly listen to sports and talk so I haven't even tried the FM.
