Escort Passport 8500 X50 (Red and Blue Displays) - A Review

The Passport 8500 X50 Red/Blue Display:

Price: the price tag is $309.95 for the red display making it one of the cheaper models, and very affordable. Strangely, for the blue display the price is $349.95 - I guess it is a matter of supply and demand.

Bands: this product detect all bands of speed enforcement radar both conventional and "instant-on" radars (X, K, Ka, and Ku), and is 50% more sensitive (covers greater range) than its predecessor, the Passport 8500. Furthermore, unlike its predecessors, the Passport 8500 X50 detectors are able to detect Pop radar guns, a relatively new addition to police forces.

Voice Alerts: there are audible and visual band alerts, but these aren't exactly "voice alerts".

False Alerts: Incorporates the AutoSensitivity Mode which reports few false alerts - but does not eliminate those completely.

Features: Includes the SmartCord power adapter which can be used as a secondary control for the device. Uses Digital signal processing (DSP) for superior range. Has a built-In Earphone Jack. Includes the "AutoMute" feature which lowers the volume of an alert after a period of time. Also incorporates EZ-Programming - a feature that allows easy customization of the device. Finally, it is compatible with the Escort Passport ZR3 Laser Shifter for even better protection.

Installation: the Passport 8500 X50 is windshield mounted, thus, has to be attached to the windshield using a suction cup system. This is a bit clunky, but the advantage is that you can take it and use it in other vehicles, motorcycles, etc. In addition, you can purchase an optional visor holder to hide the Passport 8500 X50 on the visor.

GPS Technology: Not available for this product.

Detectable: Sadly, it is.

Database subscription: N/A.

In summary: When taking into consideration all the features the Passport 8500 X50 as well as its price, it is clear that it's one of the best radar detectors you can get for the money, at least the Red display version is. It has lots of features (such as the SmartCord controller). And it's one of the cheapest models (again, the Red display model). Although it does not have some of the other features some of the other models possess, most notably any sophisticated False Alert reduction mechanisms, such as AutoLearn, or a GPS, considering all the above, we believe it provides extremely good value for its price. All in all, the Escort Passport 8500 X50 is highly recommended. Note that its Blue Display Counterpart, while offering the same capabilities, is slightly more expensive, so you should go for this one if you like the 8500 X50 detector series.

Total score: 4.5/5.0 Stars.

Refurbished Radar Detector Review

Refurbished radar detectors can be a great alternative to the high price you would usually pay for a radar detector. A good radar detector can easily cost over two hundred dollars; the decent ones range anywhere from $160 to $450. If these prices are a bit more than you want to spend then the refurbished side of things is a good place to look at. The units generally still come with a warranty and are just as good as new. Possibly even better because those new units may have the same issue down the line your refurbished detector had however your refurbished detector has already been fixed. I used to work for a company that would refurbish technology equipment and our return rate from ill functioning equipment was actually lower than the manufacturers. The manufacturers return rate varied between one and three percent, ours was actually less than 0.04 percent.

So if you have ever doubted the refurbished industry don't; the equipment may actually work longer now that the internal flaws have already manifested themselves and been fixed. For those price conscious individuals that still need some semblance of quality should go with a refurbished Whistler radar detector. The Whistler XTR 550 is a solid middle of the road unit you can find for quite inexpensive. If you are looking for just some warning and want to spend absolutely as little as possible then take a look at the Whistler XTR 105. This is a great option for the individual on a budget, which these days is an ever growing number of people.

Escort Laser Shifter ZR4 - A Review

The Laser Shifter ZR4:

Before we begin, it is important to note that the Laser Shifter ZR4 is not a radar detector but rather a radar jammer, which means it can provide complete protection against all forms of radar and laser detectors. When one thinks about it, being undetected is actually more important than knowing you are being detected - is this not the case? Furthermore, it can be used in conjunction with: Passport 9500ix, Passport 9500i Blue, Passport 9500i Red, Passport 8500 X50 Blue, Passport 8500 X50 Red, Passport 8500, Cordless Solo S2, Passport SR7 and Escort C65. Obviously, it should be used with models that do not have stealth capabilities.

Price: the price tag is $449.00, which is not cheap, but considering the protection you get, it is well worth it.

Bands: this product does not detect any bands - as said, it is not a radar detector.

Voice Alerts: Provides audio alert capabilities.

False Alerts: Since it always protects you silently, it can be said there are never any false alerts - you'll never be informed that you are being detected and that will prove to be untrue.

Features: Includes a remote mute button, and a display controller.

Custom installed: the ZR4 is custom installed: in this case it means that twin front-mounted Laser Shifters and rear license plate mounted Laser Shifters must be attached to the vehicle.

GPS Technology: Not available for this product.

Detectable: This is the Laser Shifter ZR4's strength: its stealth capabilities. Since it is a radar jammer, it offers complete protection against all forms of radar and laser detection. In the end, this is what matters.

Database subscription: N/A

In summary: the Laser Shifter ZR4 can be used as a stand alone product and would do a superb job at performing what is expected of it, namely, protection from radar detection. That being said, one can't help but think that it would be better utilized in conjunction with one of the radar detectors (and as stated above, many are designed for this specifically), since it is always a good idea to know when you're being spied on, i.e., you don't want to be driving at 100 miles per hour and be invisible to a police car radar gun... even without advanced technology and using the naked eye alone this would look suspicious. In conclusion: supremely effective at its task, the ZR4 is a highly effective radar jammer. Consequently, our overall score for this product is 4.0/5.0.
