Best Car Headrest Video Players of 2025

"I was thrilled to find this affordable car DVD player for $80 instead of the usual $150+. The setup was straightforward with just one power cord for the main unit and two to the slave unit. I love how my 5-year-old can control things now, and the picture quality is impressive. The battery lasts about an hour without needing the car plug, which is a pleasant surprise!"

"We bought this for a long road trip, aiming to avoid the chaos of two separate tablets. It worked perfectly for the kids to watch the same movie. The volume was manageable, and my older child could control everything, which made it easier. My only complaint would be the number of cords, but we managed to keep them safe and tidy."

"After using the first unit for six months, it started having a delay with DVDs. I decided to try again with a new one, but from the very first use, I noticed the loading delay was still present. Unfortunately, it stopped working completely in less than two months. While the price is attractive, I wouldn't recommend this brand."

"We bought these DVD players for a road trip and they were a lifesaver! The kids loved that they could watch the same movie at the same time, which really cut down on fights. The headphones were comfortable, and we appreciated the ability to use buttons on the screen when the remote didn’t work well."

"I purchased these DVD players for a long drive to Niagara Falls, and they were worth every penny! The setup was surprisingly easy thanks to the universal mounting brackets, and the picture quality was superb. The kids were entertained, and I loved that I could connect them to our living room screen for family movie nights!"

"I recently bought these for my grandkids, and they enjoyed them on our 5-hour drive. I love that we can play the same movie on both screens or watch different ones. They’re still working great and have been a hit during our trips!"

"I purchased one of these DVD/media players a few years back, and I absolutely love it. It has played countless DVDs and media files without any issues. I decided to buy a couple more since the power jack is a bit worn and sometimes gives me trouble. I've seen some complaints about the audio output, but it doesn't bother me. I just use a headphone amp from Amazon for better sound. The best part is that it plays all region free and even European PAL DVDs. It's the best DVD player I’ve ever owned."

"This player has been a lifesaver for my family with three kids. I really appreciate the variety of viewing options. We can either watch a DVD together on each screen or let each player show a different movie. The streaming capability is my favorite feature since I can connect my phone to watch Netflix or Disney Plus. It makes entertaining kids on long trips so much easier!"

"I appreciate the remote control feature, and the base securely attaches to the seat, preventing any movement during our drives. My child enjoys watching movies in the second row, and the sound quality is impressive. However, it doesn't hold a charge for long, but we keep it plugged into the cigarette lighter."

"This DVD player has been a lifesaver for keeping my 3-year-old entertained on long trips. Even on bumpy roads, it performs admirably, and the installation was straightforward. I’m really pleased with how well it works."

"While I love the sturdy mount and remote control, I often face frustration when the player doesn't recognize discs. It feels like every third disc is a struggle, which is disappointing. I chose this model specifically to avoid the issues I've had with others, but I’m still left wanting."

"I had a long trip ahead and wanted to make it enjoyable for my kids, ages 5 and 7. They easily picked their movies and operated the players independently. I appreciate that the controls are on the front, unlike another brand we tried. Rechargeable batteries are a game changer, allowing us to keep the movies playing during gas station stops. The kickstand feature is also handy for hotel use. Overall, these players exceeded my expectations, and I'd buy them again!"

"We bought this set for our kids, who are three years apart, and they both love it! The image quality and sound are impressive, and even my four-year-old can use the remote with ease. The players last about five hours on a charge, and the included car charger is a nice touch. I did encounter an issue with one player, but I must say, the customer support from both Amazon and Wonnie has been exceptional in resolving it!"

"These DVD players have been a fantastic addition to our road trips! They were easy to install and powered up without any hassle. My kids used them for nearly 12 hours straight without any issues. I love that they can watch the same movie or different ones at the same time. It's such a convenient setup, and I really wish I had discovered these sooner!"

"I found this portable car DVD player to be the best investment I've ever made. The screen quality is sharp, and the speakers are plenty loud. The remote control offers many helpful functions, and the battery life keeps the kids happy. Even on longer trips, we can use it while plugged in for non-stop entertainment."

"Using this dual car DVD player has been a fantastic experience. They're easy to set up and pair, with good picture quality. An added bonus is being able to connect them to a TV, allowing us to watch the same or different things on both screens. The large screen size and thoughtful design truly make this the best car DVD player I've owned. I would definitely buy it again!"

"I purchased this product to keep my kids entertained during long car trips. The video and sound quality are great, plus it can play two different movies on each unit. I'm very impressed with this dual screen DVD player, especially since it comes with two remotes! My kids are excited about the entertainment options, and overall, I feel I got my money's worth."

“When I first powered on the monitor, I noticed it was blooming a bit too much due to the high brightness settings from the manufacturer. After adjusting the brightness, the picture quality improved significantly. The 4K files looked great, although in a moving car, you don't notice much detail. The screen is glossy, so it can reflect a lot during the day. The pre-installed apps like Netflix and YouTube are handy, and I appreciate the SD slot and USB ports for additional memory. However, I found the sound quality muddy with rearward-facing speakers, lacking in bass. I had trouble getting AirPlay to work, which could be an issue for many users. I hope future updates will fix these problems and enhance the overall experience.”

“This monitor is fantastic! It’s like having a mini tablet in the car. The mounting system fits securely on the headrest, and it has power options for both car and home. I've been using it for two days, and while it doesn’t have its own speakers, connecting to a Bluetooth speaker or earbuds is easy. The screen quality is impressive, with clear images comparable to a phone. It’s user-friendly, and I’ve been watching YouTube without any lag. This is a great solution for anyone with young kids needing entertainment during car rides.”

“This product is great! My kid loves it during long car rides. It keeps them entertained, and the screen quality is excellent.”

"I purchased this for my grandson so he could enjoy his cartoons while we travel. It's been a year, and so far, so good!"

"Since I travel frequently with my family to areas lacking good cell coverage, I opted for a DVD player for the kids. Thrift stores offer a vast selection of DVDs for just a dollar, making it an appealing option. Plus, I can easily put movies on a flash drive, and they play perfectly on this device. Unlike similar products I've tried, this player handles modern downloads and thrifted DVDs without any issues!"

"I found this TV to be great while it lasted, but unfortunately, the screen shut off after about a month of occasional use. I ended up returning it."

"I found the set easy to install! The sturdy headrest brackets come with various size blocks to fit different car models. The picture quality is sharp, and the volume is loud enough to hear over travel noise. However, when sharing one DVD, only the screen with the DVD has sound, which can be a bit quiet with headphones."

"After my overhead DVD player broke, I decided to try this set for a long trip with my kids. I was pleasantly surprised by the screen quality and the ability to play different DVDs simultaneously. The ease of use allowed my 7-year-old to operate it without help. Plus, the price was just right, much better than local stores!"

"We bought this system for our new car that lacked a factory DVD player. I appreciate the portability and great sound quality. Installation was quick, and the picture is excellent. We've only used the DVD function so far, but I love that it can do much more!"

"I'm absolutely thrilled with the 13.3-Inch Android 11 Car Tablet TV I installed in my car! This headrest monitor has transformed our road trips. The large touchscreen is vibrant and responsive, perfect for movies and games. The 5G WiFi support ensures fast internet, allowing me to stream content in high-definition without buffering. Plus, the wireless phone mirroring is great for sharing media with passengers. If you're looking for a high-quality entertainment solution for your car, I highly recommend it!"

"I have been using this tablet for a few weeks now and I'm very satisfied. It resembles a large phone for my car. The plug into the cigarette lighter works seamlessly, and so far, I have experienced no issues at all."

"NO NO NO! I missed an important detail before purchasing. This is unacceptable given the connection to my phone. However, the unit itself is quite nice, though a few things need improvement. The UI is good, and pre-loaded apps are convenient. But the volume control is tricky to find, and they don't mention compatibility issues with some Samsung phones. Despite these quirks, it entertains my kids, so it has some value, though it feels overpriced for what you get."
