Roadview RHM-7.0G 7-Inch Headrest Monitor with DVD Player (Gray) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a really nice unit. It was easy enough to install (just hookup power and ground). You have to snake the wires down the inside of the seat, but this should be pretty simple in most cars.
The factory headrest on my 2005 Ford Escape was enough to pull out, and this DVD headrest pushed right into the factory spot with no modifications. The height is still adjustable and locks in place just like the factory headrest.
The entire headrest unit tilts, or pivots, and the base to adjust for the best viewing angle.
My favorite part is that when it is zipped up, it looks like a regular factory headrest.
The DVD player itself works fine. It starts up quickly. You get all the regular controls on the unit itself and also with the remote. I tested with some backup copies of my DVDs, and a few originals. Everything works perfectly.
In short, I highly recommend this Roadview 7 inch Headrest Monitor with integral DVD.

Concept CLD-700 7-Inch Chameleon Headrest Monitor with Built-in DVD Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With a little research this headrest unit seems to be one of the best deals out there. As an Audio/Video afficionado, it is an attractive and tidy unit which comes with 3 different 'pleather' colors to match your interior. This is good because you can conceal it better from thieves. We got it for our 1 month old. Yes...he faces the rear & I was able to easily install it backwards (facing forward in the rear seat headrest holes. The included remote works well and has plenty of features...most importantly repeat. This allows the disc that is in to continuously play. It picks up right where it was when you turned off the ignition. So far little Henry has watched Baby Einstein's Poetry & Classical Music DVD about 20 times. Beware though, the onscreen lighting and action can be bothersome in your rearview mirror when travelling in the dark. You'll learn to ignore it. It is very easy to use and put the disc in & the remote is an added bonus. Installation can be a little tricky though, as the cables slide down through the headrest holes and into the interior of you seat. Our 2003 Pathfinder's seatback came off with a little enticing which allowed me to power it from the trunk plug. Most newer model autos have zipper / snap seatbacks which should allow relatively easy wiring. Note: Use electrical tape to secure ALL of the connections tight. The last thing you need in the middle of the interstate on that vacation trip is to have a wire jiggle loose! Take the time to install it securely. All in all it seems to be a great unit & I hope it lasts long enough so little Henry can drive & mom & dad can sit in the back & watch movies :o>

Power Acoustik HDVD-9BG 8.8-Inch Pre-Loaded Universal Headrest Monitors with Twin DVD Combo and Headphones (Beige) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me first start out saying that I have owned this product for over a month now and it has exceeded my expectations. I chose headrest monitors instead of the drop down roof mounted ones because I did not want to obstruct rear view vision and allow independent viewing / game play while on long road trip. These cd /dvd players mounted in the headrest eliminate the extra wiring to a dvd console.
My only hesitation from purchasing these earlier was from not knowing if there was any noise coming from the fan / dvd that would drive me bonkers, but I was very pleased to learn this was not the case. These units were quiet - the only thing I can hear from the rear were giggles from the Monty Python movie my son was watching while we were on a three hour trip. Simply Awesome.
I installed these myself since there was power under the seat (for power seats), but had to call support to find out which post carried the power and which were a/v. Tech guy was helpful - power cable is on DVD side(FYI). The size of the screen was perfect - it looks alot bigger than I imagined and I am glad I did not go for the bigger screen that would have been problematic. The brightness and quality of the picture was superb. comes with two remotes and good to use since touch screen is great if you don't have the remote handy, but you will have to put up with finger smudges.

PYLE PLD72BK Adjustable Headrests w/ Built-In 7'' TFT/LCD Monitor w/ Built in DVD Player & IR/FM Transmitter With Cover (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Highs: 1yr warranty. Better quality than non-branded units on ebay. Ability to connect 2 headrests together to play and watch from either or both headrests. Infra-Red headphone capable but not included.
Lows: Games/game controller are low quality. No headphones.
I purchased this Pyle DVD headrest to replace a similar looking non-branded DVD headrest that I purchased on ebay that only lasted 30days before the display went out. I will never get burned by ebay and questionable sellers with no warrany and a 7-day return policy again. Note: I wasn't able to leave feedback to warn others on ebay because it was past 30days. Ebay simply said Oh-well, that's our policy.
This Pyle DVD headrest has a 1 year warranty and it has the video/audio in/out cables to connect 2 of these DVD headrest in the car. The kids love the option of watching their own movie or watching the same movie. Our kids are 6 and 8, so my wife or I usually have to get the movies going because the remote might be confusing, at least until they get used to it.
The Pyle DVD headrest is better quality than the ebay unit I replaced. For example, the hinge is more robust and the flat, flexible ribbon cables have a strain relief and guide to prevent damage. All around it seems that Pyle's engineering specified a higher end product. The instruction manual is also better than the off-brand unit that I have.
The IR headphones that we had from the previous headrest work perfect with the Pyle DVD headrest and have both A and B channels. I wish Pyle included a set.
Don't buy it for the games.

New Gray Headrest Pair 7" LCD DVD Monitors USB SD Slot Wireless Video Game Car Package Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I picked up a set of gray units from OnFair and did a quick installation myself in an Odyssey. Unfortunately I have the dark gray interior and these units are light gray. They're not that noticeable but I went into this knowing they wouldn't be a perfect match. Running the cables through the seat back are very easy in this vehicle, but power can be a pain if you're not comfortable with finding and tapping off of an accessory source.
My first issue was that the head rest posts are very narrow so you have to use some supplied sleeves that make the posts a bit fatter and take up more space within the head rest holes within the seat. The problem was that even with the sleeves installed I could not raise the head rest and get it to latch into place. Meaning, if you raise the head rest it doesn't stay. This isn't a biggie for me as I never use or raise it anyhow but for those who do, you'll lose this functionality cause the little mechanism that's supposed to come into contact with the head rest post doesn't reach the post due to its slim design.
The designers thought of just about everything in terms of functionality in that audio for either A or B channel for separation with head sets works well and the FM transmitter works mostly pretty good so that you can hear it in the car's stereo. Yet, I found that someone can't be listening on one head rest with head phones while the other transmits cause we'd get some interference in the head phones. Also, you need to make sure that both head rests are NOT transmitting on the same channel even if the same movie is being shown on both cause you'll get interference as well. The ability to watch different movies on each unit or watch the same movie on both is very cool and worth running the cables for, but use only one for an audio source or make sure you're using different channels for each unit.
The units have a limited field of broadcast so if you're too far to one side or if you're in the back seat with the units on front seats...you'll most likely incur audio interference. Also, as the seat backs are tilted you'll see the screen appear dim as the viewing angle seems to be limited. Fortunately I'm more upright by my wife's seat was tilted a bit more than mine and I noticed one of our kids stooping down to get a better viewing angle.
As someone else mentioned, it's information overload with all of the buttons. My 8 yr old has them down though in terms of quickly setting them, but this is a hassle cause you have to set the channel to broad cast on as well as enable the input of the 2nd unit if you're watching the first unit's output every time you turn the car on. There are a lot of features but I guess it's better than having to navigate an onscreen menu. Speaking of navigating, the remotes are very small and thin. But they too contain way too many buttons. It makes usage and navigation in the dark impossible for both the head rest buttons and remote controller.
I also opted for a 3rd set of head phones. Beware that the additional head sets are not the same was what comes with the head rests and do not fit over the ears like the ones packaged with the head rests. They also have limited adjustments so do not fit well on little heads. Fortunately I found that not all 3 kids were wanting to wear them so this became a non issue, which means I probably didn't need them...but still a disappointment.
Finally, shipping was very slow as the units were on back order. We wanted them for an upcoming trip and I received them 2 days before departure, which was over 3 weeks from when ordered.
Now, enough of the bashing and on to the good stuff. I think the units are pretty well made and the screen/hinge mechanism feels solid. I did not see any dead pixels (yet) and the color is bright and vivid. I picked up the game pack and tried a few. I think the inclusion of it is pretty kewl and the games are cheap entertainment (although the controllers feel pretty lightweight). They did a nice job with providing the necessary cabling and installation is pretty straight forward. The packaged head phones that come with the head rests are comfortable and fit little heads nicely (skip the additional ones). The range of features is amazing in terms of how you can watch movies and distribute audio. Speaking of audio, the built-in speakers within the head rests are of moderate quality, but it does provide another option. I have yet to try, but you also have other forms of input such as for USB and SD which again provides additional flexibility. Lastly, for the price, I think the feature set out weighs all of the negative items I noted and makes these units a steal. If I had paid a lot more then the above noted areas of concern would become really big issues and this would be a 2 star rating. But when factoring in the cost this really a spectacular buy.
