Escort Passport 8500 - Reviews both original and X50
I purchased my first Escort Passport 8500 back in '00 and had owned it up until last year. Because I rarely go over the speed limit, I made the decision to sell my 8500 along with my collection of miscellaneous radar devices. I have since learned the hard way that not keeping my Escort 8500 was a... Read full review »
~~ LET THE ESCORT PASSPORT 8500 X50 RADAR DETECTOR ESCORT YOU ~~
As good ole Sammy Hagar would say ~ I can't drive "55"!!! I want to, but I can't. I am what you would call a "Defensive Driver". I am very safe, very aware, and have no other distractions when I drive, i.e.; I don't text, play with the radio, read, gab on the phone, eat fast food, or put on makeup... Read full review »
Great.... When it works.
BACKGROUND
I have had Escort Radar detectors all the way back since they were owned by Cincinnati Radar and the detector had an analog signal meter and was the size of a the entire box the new ones come in.
I've since been through a 4500, 5500, 7500 and now I own both an 8500...

A worthy upgrade from my ancient Whistler 1490
My previous radar detector was a Whistler 1490, I loved the text display, and it seemed to be a quite sensitive detector, sometimes *too* sensitive, falsing when there was no radar around and I was the only vehicle on the road, it would often false with a single X-band blip when I was parked in my...

X50 is Outstanding!
I have had five radar detectors during my 25 years of driving.
I am not an expert, but I can offer an opinion on the X50.
During my 25 years, radar detectors have improved. Each detector I owned seemed to be better than the prior, until the Escort Passport 8500 and now the...

Nice Look Excellent touch!
I bought this off of ebay for about $300 (thanks to taxes). It was to replace my cheap whistler 1730 DE. This thing is sweet and nice. It has the very stylish blue look that can grab attention from your friends in the car, and cars next to you unless you want to turn the dimmer on to make the light... Read full review »
Big Bang for the Buck
Though this unit is not the cheapest on the market for a detector that picks up virtually all types of radar, it is a solid performer.
The X50 red is the size of a large remote control and has decent hardware that makes installation and mounting a breeze. I use it on the dash attached to...

No Falsing but Poor for Photo Radar Detection
I have owned the X50 for one year now, I gave my wife my Bel 980.
The big difference between these two units is that the X50 rarely if ever falses whereas the Bel would regularly go off in the city and on the highway. The Bel seems to pick up other detectors operating out on the road...

This is THE DETECTOR
This radar is simply the best radar detected. As mentioned in previous reviews, the radar goes off quite frequently. This is due to the nature that places like starbucks and other places that use electronic doors use a form of radar called "X" band. I have never seen this band used in the form of...
