This unit has saved me over and over again. I live in a very hilly wooded area and it always picks up radar/laser with plenty of time to slow down. People argue its range, which is amazing but state troopers are known for waiting until they see you to turn on a laser, and then no detector does any good because they got you already. This unit beats everybody I knows radar and I recommend it to everyone I know. I wish it was louder, I can't hear it with the music turned halfway up but it does blink red so that does help..just hard to notice mid-day.
Also throw away the junk window suction cup it comes with and get an oval one. The one it comes with will fall off on the first hot day

I wish the cord was a tad bit longer, but for the money its a darn good microphone! At first you may have to go into your settings for your pc to recognize it though, seeing as how it comes with no software.
What's great about it: good sound quality
What's not so great: cord could be a little longer
