Radenso - DS1 Radar Detector - Black

FINALLY! I couldn't be happier about this detector being launched. It's like the guys at Radenso heard my complaints about EVERY OTHER RADAR DETECTOR OUT THERE, listened, and did it one up. I'm sure you can hop on the forums and read the nerd stuff and it will tell you it's very quiet, excellent range, great filtering, auto lockout, hardwire/mute kit, etc. but what most reviews won't tell you are the EXACT amazing reasons I wanted this thing. For starters, you can toggle on and off specific bands, turn down sensitivity for specific bands (hello annoying k band), COLOR CODE and TONE code each band. You can toggle on and off voice (do I REALLY need to hear which band it is when I can see the radar clearly and hear the tone I picked for each band? NOPE...ANOTHER +1 FOR DS1). I'm glad they moved away from some 1982 barrel plug (sorry 1982) and into the USB C world. If I had to find a flaw it would be the hardwire kit has a beefier cable than most, though it's actually a blessing because it stays tucked in the headliner / a-pillar MUCH better than the 24 gauge wires that typically come with radar detectors. My FAVORITE feature (and the reason you should buy this one if you are on the fence) is the selectable tones that I can choose from. I'm not sure why radar detector companies make the most annoying high pitched 'nails on a chalkboard' alerts for a radar alert. Guys...I'm driving around returning amazon packages to kohls, this isn't NAM. Just give me an alert that I can hear clearly but isn't piercing my soul with intensity, which is EXACTLY why I love this radar. There are a handful of tones that are gentle enough that it doesn't burst your ear drums yet you can hear it over your jams. This probably makes ZERO sense to you unless you've had other radar detectors out there that annoy you so bad you have to unplug it. There are a few other nice features I enjoy (like speed, direction, multiple band detection, a big mute button, easy menu system, etc.) but I think you get the point. Cliffs : I couldn't be happier with this radar, nice work dudes at Radenso...nice work. It feels like you've had the same complaints about other radar detectors out there, and just decided to make a better one, then make a living out of it. At least that's what it feels like. Keep up the good work.

This is the best radar detector I’ve ever had! Nothing compares to this for price and reliability I trust it more than my eyes I see cops from a crazy distance away!

This is the best radar detector I’ve used to date. Coming multiple units across brands and a lower end Radenso, this is by far the best yet. Detection distance is incredible and the false alerts are minimal with great filtering. It self learns any stationary false alerts quickly. The unit itself feels to be of high quality and the windshield mount is strong. The magnetic mounting method is just right. Strong enough to not come off in high velocity cornering or over rough roads, but easy enough to pull off if needed. This is hands down the best value in the ticket avoidance marketplace.

So far I’ve had this detector for about three weeks and it has done a great job. Picks up police radar well ahead and does a great job blocking out fake radar like X and K band with auto lockout( This is programmable by owner’s choice). This offers a programmable sensitivity and band levels. Display colors can be changed for each band level in as many 8 colors and has as many as 10 different sound alerts that can be set up for different bands at your choice. The windshield mounting unit adheres well to the glass without worrying about falling off and the detector is easy to take down and put up. I would highly recommend this product and for the money it has proven to me an excellent purchase.

Completely satisfied with the performance and accuracy of the DS1. The more time spent using this device the more confident I am it is dependable. I am a long time user of a V1G1 with all updates and was skeptical any other device would be as good as it is. The DS1 has proven itself. Once you depend on arrows you do question a forward looking device often as you learn it. The truth is you are hearing a warning often longer than with the V1 so you tend to question it. I would recommend this to anyone out there who is considering a high end device. Register your purchase and buy the extended warranty through mfgr, it adds ticket protection/compensation so you have 2 claims if needed. I drive a C8 my only complaimt is mounting the device in a discreet way. There is no usb-c power tap from rear view mirror.

Purchased this for my wife's new X3. The ease of use and accuracy are amazing. The "mute" button directly on the front of it is perfect. So many fantastic features. Tone changing for each warning, color changing the screen, just amazing. Radenso support is also TOP NOTCH. I called them because I did not understand how to upgrade the firmware. I spoke with a real person, immediately, who had me up and running in 2 min. Fantastic. (it was my fault, I was using the wrong kind of cable) I plan on purchasing another unit for my car to upgrade from my Radenso Pro M. It's wonderful to see a company focused on delivering a quality product, and the service to go with it. Well done Radenso....

Easy step up and easy to understand while setting up to your comfort and preference while being accurate every time your driving. Worth every penny!

Great detector, extreme range,the display sucks in bright sunlight sometimes. It is loaded with lots of features. It is a souped up Uniden R3 platform under the hood,but lacks the LNA turbo power of the new upcoming Rd's (Uniden R4 & R8) You can't beat the price for this performance though. I have been professionaly testing Rd's for 25+ years in Texas.
