Customer Reviews

fantastic deal
I did a lot of research before purchasing this unit including purchasing a subpar product (Nextplay - great for kids, except the quality is horrible) that I returned within three days of buying. I bought the DVD player primarily for travel with my three year old son and it has been wonderful. First, it is a terrific deal compared to other such units - nothing compares considering the carrying case, the two sets of headphones, and compliment of jacks.
The picture quality is as good as any 7" I've seen and the sound is the best I've heard and easily 'speaks above' road noise and even airplane noise (though I prefer the headsets on a plane).
I also use this player a lot as a DVD player in hotels, so this is also a very versitile player. I've only had this since December 2008 so I can't really speak to longevity, but I will say it does seem to be well made and I've not had any problems over the last two months - very refreshing since most electronics these days seem to be of the 'disposable' variety. Battery life also seems pretty good - somewhere around 3.5 hrs - more than enough to get me from Denver to Burbank, CA. And very easy to use - enough functionality for adults, but easy enough for a three year old to use.
All in all, I am very happy with this unit and would certainly buy another. The carrying case is good (not great) and works easily in the car. It has sufficient storage for the associated gear (car jack, AC/DC jack, TV jacks, and headphones), but no storage for DVDs. Assuming this lasts at least a year, it is well worth the money.

Worked well 2 trips and then broke
I bought this for my 2 year old son to have on a 10 hour car drive. It worked well and I liked the car battery option. It worked on that trip and 1 other shorter trip and then went dead. Luckily I bought the warranty for 9.99 and they sent me a check for the full value. I need another one now that we are getting ready to take that trip again. I am leaning towards this model with the warranty again. The sony is nice, but doesn't come equipped with all the car features.

the best Audio sound without using headphones
I brought the first portable Audiovox that came out many years ago. It lasted many years and many hours of usage.
It only broke down recently. I brought another one, a different named brand. I returned it. It just didn't have the sound that the Audiovox did. With the Audiovox you really don't need the headphones at all, the sound comes loud and cleared, although the headphones enhanced the sound.

I did researching, and found that this Audiovox has the best audio coming through on the portable DVD, especially on this model. Its because its has 4 speakers, 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom. If you want to relax at home or in bed, without having to have headphones on, this is the model to get. It's also user friendly, I loved it!!

The original model was made better, heavier, and not so filmsy and worked well, just like this latest model..but, the first one I paid more money.

I hope they continued to make models like this one with great audio sounds without using the headphones. I find headphones are too constricting when you just want to relax.
