Default headrest speakers

Has any one out there bought the honda headrest speakers that came optional on the '04? How do they sound? How much for them?

Go to the Electronics forum, there's an aftermarket version that will get you better quality speakers for less money..

S-pods and rear speakers was the best mod I have done. $400.00 gets you
S-pods and an awsome set of rear speakers. If you want to hear your stereo get this upgrade.

Contact Mark and he will set you up.

I have the OEM headrest speakers and I love them.

I've always used rear speakers as 'fill' by keeping the fader more skewed to the front. No different with the headrest speakers; I keep the fader on "6". It gives you a three dimensional surround effect.

Yes the factory speakers will not punch out bass-they're just not made for it (look more like a pair of big tweeters). They will overpower the main speakers if you ask them to do too much- and since they really can't handle high power/volume your sound quality seems to degrade if you get too loud, but hey, they're right next to your ears!

I believe they were around $400.00 I liked they way they looked installed (you can't tell they're there), and they looked like they would actually be 'weather proof', not that I'm driving a U-boat.

Whatever you choose, any headrest speaker is bound to be better than nothing.

Regards,
BD

Ditto the remarks of Pstar with respect to the S-pods. They're great and you can color match them to your interior.

Seem pretty pricey though? I have infinity 6.5s and a 50x4 and the sound is great even in the freeway top down.

Got em, like em, sound very good. Also noteworthy is the fact each head rest comes with 2 speakers and provides stereo.
