Sound Stream Headrest and Video Screen Assembly
Soundstream Headrest & Video Screen Assemblies: Rear-Seat Entertainment Done Right
Soundstream Technologies has spent decades earning its reputation as one of mobile audio and video's most trusted names. Founded in 1975, the brand has accumulated deep expertise across car audio and video — and that engineering heritage is evident in every headrest monitor they build. Their headrest and video screen assemblies represent a practical, passenger-friendly way to upgrade any vehicle's rear cabin with quality entertainment without gutting the factory interior.
Universal Fit, Versatile Features
One of the defining characteristics of Soundstream's headrest monitor lineup is its emphasis on universal compatibility. Models like the VHD-90CC and VHD-70CC are engineered as direct-replacement headrests that mount onto your vehicle's existing poles using adjustable bracket hardware — accommodating a wide range of pole widths — so you don't need a custom installation for a clean, factory-like look. Each unit ships with three interchangeable snap-on color skins (grey, beige, and black), making it easy to match virtually any interior.
Screen sizes span the range that rear-seat passengers actually benefit from. Soundstream offers both 7-inch and 9-inch HD LCD panels in widescreen 16:9 format, delivering crisp, bright images whether passengers are watching a feature film or streaming a gaming session. The SHAD-9H, for example, is a bracket-mount headrest monitor with a beautiful 9-inch LCD display that is also designed to work with active headrest systems — a key consideration for vehicles with side-curtain airbag integration through the headrest posts.
Media Playback Flexibility
Soundstream headrest assemblies are built around the reality of modern media consumption. Depending on the model, passengers can enjoy content from multiple sources:
- Built-in DVD/CD players for disc-based media on select models (VHD-70CC, VHD-90CC)
- USB input supporting flash drives up to 16 GB for MP3 audio and MP4 video playback
- MobileLink input on models like the SHAD-9H for smartphone and tablet connectivity
- AUX A/V inputs for game console or secondary source integration
- Dual-channel wireless IR transmitter compatibility for cord-free headphone listening
- FM stereo transmitter for seamless OEM radio integration
This breadth of input options means Soundstream headrest monitors don't become obsolete as media formats evolve — a USB stick or a phone is always within reach.
Built for the Long Haul
Soundstream backs its video products with a one-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects, and the brand's long track record in mobile A/V — including over 90 industry awards for car audio excellence — gives buyers confidence in long-term reliability. The headrests themselves are designed with forward-and-backward tilt adjustability so rear passengers can dial in the best viewing angle for any road trip or daily commute.
Whether you're outfitting a family SUV for the school run or building out a premium rear entertainment system for a road trip rig, Soundstream's headrest and video screen assemblies offer a refined balance of ease of installation, media flexibility, and interior-friendly design.
