We purchased this model after much research. We have been using it for a couple of months, and it truly has paid for itself. We only use it for our out of town trips, and it has saved us a couple of speeding tickets. We have not experienced many false alerts as most have been concerned. All in all, we are very happy with our purchase.

When I went to look at radar detectors, I wanted to get something that was good quality but still at a good price range. I personally feel this is all the radar detector anyone would need as it has great range, picks up on every cop I've seen, and overall just works really well right out of the box. Would def recommend this product as the best bang for your buck.

I bought this one for me after my husband has had his for 3 years. This was on sale and we paid 1/2 of what we paid for my husbands. Very reliable. We are very satisfied with this product.

I am happy to have a device that alerts me when there is any type of radar/laser detection discovered. It has come in handy and alerted me several times already. I chose this device over the one above it simply because I do not really need a device to alert me about red light cameras, its the moving violations that can hurt worse. If you are looking at those expensive device but are doing what I did and say really that much? Go with this model, its in the lower price range and does a great job.

Looks like this has paid itself back. Initially started with the Cobra 7800, which was not really so great with all the false alarms.
This escort paid back itself when it alerted me of cop in a very unusual spot on ma route to work. It happened the next morning of my purchase.
So far looks good and happy with the investment, though a lil extra but lets see how it works out.
A:You cannot download updates to the Passport X50. You will have to send it to the manufacturer, Escort Inc, for this service. Only Escort radar detectors with a USB port can connect to a home computer and be updated. These are the Passport Max, Passport 9500ix, Passport iQ and Passport 8500ci Plus.
A:It's the new Black model. Also, contrary to what the page states, these are, currently, NOT backordered. Just check the list of stores and see if it's available.
A:I ordered mine on 11/28/13 and received it today. I can confirm that I received the black model with the red display. I was very relieved because I got no clarification when I called Best Buy customer service and figured I'd just return it if the silver one arrived.
