Cobra XRS 9970G Radar Detector Review

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.

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.

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.

Cobra ESD7400 Performance Radar Detector Review

Currently retailing for under $50 - the Cobra ESD7400 Performance Radar Detector is clearly targeted to the bottom end of the radar detector market. To be fair and realistic, we shouldn't be expecting technological miracles, such as Ku, SWS, or VG-2 detection prevention to be built in - given the actual cost of this technology.

So what does that leave us with? We unwrapped a brand new Cobra ESD7400 Performance Radar Detector and put it to the test to see what was included, and what was missing from this unit.
