The PL71PHB is one of those products that surprise you in a good way. After all what you pay for is what you should expect and the PL71PHB headrest displays does not come short of such expectations by any means. What you get in the box are two 7-inch TFT LCD monitors (1440 x 234 at 16:9 aspect ratio), a manual, the connection cables and a wireless infrared remote control unit. This may not be the most packed box available at the market but it has what you need to get started. The inclusion of a DVD player would have been nice and could have made the entire set more complete, but that also would have meant an increased price tag. While the PL71PHB headrest displays are perfect for pairing with an external DVD player, it may not be the first choice of someone who is looking for a combo car entertainment solution rather than buying them separately.

The first thing that you will probably notice is that the parts of the Pyle PL71PHB does not at all look or feel cheap and given the price you pay for the product, that is a pleasant surprise. In addition to this, it is also easy to install by yourself even if you are just a basic level tool handler. Once you finish your installation and plug the cables in, you will be happy to see that not only is the picture quite sharp and vivid, it is also free of interference issues even when you play the same content from a single DVD player at the same time on both the screens. Audio quality from the speakers is the same as you would expect from them, which is just not satisfactory. However, you can easily jack it to an external speaker set to give audio the kick you want. While using IR headphones it was found that the audio is quite clear, but it is not possible for you to transmit two different audio signals to two separate IR headphones simultaneously.

The headrest functionality of the device isn’t really good as the headrest seems to easily sway back when you actually rest your head on it and that could be a bit of a hindrance for some but not all because depending on the height of the person, it may not be much of an issue. You would need to wire the PL71PHB directly to your car’s power supply as the box does not include an adapter, but then again buying one is cheap if you really need it. Perhaps the only thing that might make you a little restless is the included manual as the instructions and information are ill-written in bad English. However, that is not much of a problem as it is easy enough for you to figure out on your own or if it seems too complicated, then you can always call someone with a little bit more know-how. Overall, the black PL71PHB headrest displays will surely impress anyone with its build quality, picture quality and ease of use. If your car has a black interior, then you can expect it to blend in perfectly. Although it has its chinks, it’s still a value for money product.
