Portable DVD Players > below $80 Portable DVD Players

Advantages: Very portable, easy to use, included accessories
Disadvantages: Poor sound quality without headphones, screen gets hot

I have to admit that this was a bit of an impulse purchase but I am amazed at how much we have actually used it. This little DVD player can literally go everywhere with me. I can fit it into my bag or the diaperbag and, because it's about the size of a portable cd player, my son can hold onto it in the car and watch dvds. The screen is small so only one person would probably watch it at a time, which is usually the case with us, but the picture ...
...comes in handy as well and it can double as a music player. We have taken this little thing camping, on flights, road trips, etc. It is extremely easy to use and very portable. My only complaint is the sound quality. I have a hard time hearing it sometimes so the headphone jack comes in handy for me. The headphones it came with didn't sound that great but I just use a better pair and it's perfect. The battery lasts about 2 hours which is more than ... Read review

Advantages: Portable, Neat, Good picture
Disadvantages: None right now

THE SALE So awhile ago i heard about these "New" things called portable DVD players, I Think I Went to wal-mart of course =p. When I arrived at Wal-Mart, I was looking through the portable DVD players and wondering which one would probably suit me better..I finally decided that this was a modest one, that would get the job done. Before I bought it, I looked for a movie to test it out with, I found Pirates of the Caribbean, and decided to buy it. ...
...THE TEST When I arrived home, I Popped in the Movie that I had bought with it, and sat there and watched it. I must say, This portable DVD player is a dreamer! It was almost like a digital TV or of that sort. Now, I keep a assortment of movies stored in my car, just in case I get bored while waiting for someone or of that sort. This DVD player is a charm!! thank you once again COBY! Thank you for reading this review! ... Read review

Advantages: Nice Quality Sound, Clear Picture, Good Price
Disadvantages: Doesn't Support New iPods

I got the Audiovox D8000IP about 1 month ago for my youngest son. I bought it with the intention of him using it during car rides and long trips, such as doctors visits and rides on the Seattle Ferry. I picked this particular model out because it was relatively cheap, it was video iPod capable, and I didn't need anything fancy. I purchased the player from amazon.com for 100 dollars. It arrived in 4 days and I quickly put it to use as I had to take ...
...got home, I called an Audiovox representative who nicely explained that the newer video iPod "classics" we not compatible due to Apple placing some kind of chip in them preventing such activities by anything except Apple products. Talk about a total bummer. I returned to Amazon, and to my surprise, they had written that the 60 and 80 GB models were not compatible. I didn't even bother to pay attention to that because I had a 160 GB model. So, I blame ... Read review

Advantages: keep kids quite
Disadvantages: needs to be louder for the smaller kids

I like this product very well, they are good to have when you are traveling and have kids, that way they are into the movie and not saying are we there yet. I wish that the batteries would stayed charged longer, but other that this is a very great product to have. If you don't own one you should think about it. I also wish that the sound would be a little more louder so that everyone could hear good, it is hard for a two year old to keep headphones ... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful picture, long bettery life
Disadvantages: none

Anxious to bring an answer to the age old question of what to do to entertain your children on a four hour drive to the beach, my wife and I went out and purchased one of these little Memorex's before our last trip to the shore. Did it answer the question in a positive way? It most certainly did. You purchase one of these! The first thing I really like about this product was the battery life it supplied. On a full charge, the lithium-ion battery ...
...fact was right on the money. This was not a big deal on the car ride down, because it comes with a power adapter that plugs into any car jack (lighter, etc). Where it came in very handy was in the room when it poured for one entire day and the boys, and parents, were trapped inside. My boys were able to sit on their bed and watch two feature length movies. At the end they were able to watch an hour DVD of cartoons as well. Very timely! The parent's ... Read review
