Cobra XRS 9970G Radar Detector Review

Up until now, Cobra products have - on the whole - targeted the lower end of the market, or people who are looking for an entry level radar detector. That is, as we said, up until now. With the recent release of the highly sophisticated and very technological Cobra XRS 9970G Radar Detector - manufacturers such as Beltronics and Escort might just get a run for their money.

Speaking of money - Cobra seems to have been able to piece this radar detector together at a relatively low cost, and they've passed the savings on to you - the consumer. This makes for a highly competitive product which only has our performance test to pass in order to score full marks.

Cobra XRS 9345 Radar Detector Review

Speeding tickets are definitely not fun - especially if you were only going 5mph over the limit in a residential area. Sure - the law is the law, but on a hot summers day, when everyone is at school, and no one is in sight, 5 miles per hour isn't exactly worth $100.

With plenty of on board technology, and at just half the price of a speeding ticket, can you really afford to be without one?

Cobra ESD7100 Radar Detector Review

Don't give a hoot about what your radar detector looks like? Well thank goodness for that, because the Cobra ESD7100 Radar Detector is one hideous piece of work. From the plastic casing, to the tacky silver buttons, to the static user display, there is literally nothing pretty about this radar detector.

Then again, for less than $50, what were you expecting? In all likelihood, you probably knew that the device you ended up with would be an ugly duckling, but you were possibly hoping that it had something special under the hood. So does it? Well, you'll have to read on to find out.

Beltronics V955 Vector Radar Detector Review

When it comes to top of the line radar detectors, Beltronics certainly know what it's like to be at the top. The company has released many detector models over the years, with the Beltronics V955 Vector Radar Detector being a relatively new one.

Unlike the $500 to $1,000 models that we are used to seeing from Beltronics, this release takes the price down a notch to compete with other mid-range products. So, has Beltronics pulled it off? Or have they dropped too many features to compromise with the price? Let's take a look.

Beltronics V995 Vector Radar Detector Review

Look what we have here - another product from Beltronics. We recently reviewed the Beltronics V955 (see the review on this site) with some excellent results, so it would be fair to say that we had high expectations going in to this review of the Beltronics V995 Vector Radar Detector. After all, 995 is a higher number than 955, so this one has got to be better - right?

If the price is anything to go by (the V995 is about $50 more expensive), then we should be getting a few added extras with this model. Let's see if we genuinely can spot the difference.

GPS Angel V4E Speed Camera Detector Review

Imagine if you were warned of a bad event 20 to 30 seconds before it actually took place. What would you do? Would you actively try to avoid the pending disaster, or would you continue on as if nothing were going to happen?

The majority of people out there would answer this question with the first response above. So, when you incorporate this way of thinking in to a product such as the GPS Angel V4E - you get a device which is literally able to foresee the future and hence allow you to take preventative action before anything bad happens. In this case, the "bad" thing is the speeding ticket which would be issued by a fixed position camera or red light detector.
