Actual Customer Feedback:MAKE SURE you change the setting to loud because it sounds like crap at default settings and you can hardly here it go off. After changing these setting to LOUD I could autually here my investment working. No contest, the Passport 8500. There's a reason why it and the V1 are the top 2 detecters on the market. Everything else falls short, performance-wise. No other detector that I have had to this point has even come close to this sort of level. Not even half. Seriously, if you get a speeding ticket for say 15 over, the fines and insurance premiums will outweigh the price of this radar, so if anyone ever asks me why I would spend 350 on a radar, I just tell them, same reason why you would pay a 350 dollar speeding ticket. Our Verdict Seeing the numerous reviews posted about Escort Passport 8500 x50, we can say that it’s one of the top leading models in the market today. Its popularity is due to the cost-efficient features not available in other radar detector counterparts. Users do complain of how pricey it is, but speeding tickets are more expensive to handle. |
