The Bottom Line:
If you are not in need of expensive options, then the Cobra 6050 will be a decent means of competent radar detection.
If you are on a tight budget, this COBRA ESD-6050 is a decent performing low priced unit. It has SWS alert and VG2 warning capabilities which add to the value of this unit. False alerts do occur on a regular basis, but primarily in urban areas. The city mode option helps to a degree by reducing the X band sensitivity. Radar detection occurs in most cases with enough distance to reduce speed before police visibility. If you are in an area such as Hawaii, where laser detection is in wide use, then this or any low priced detector will be of little help in avoiding a speeding ticket. Only top end units have any real chance of giving warning of Laser. If you are not in need of expensive options such as voice alert or digital text display, then the Cobra 6050 will be a satisfactory means of competent radar detection.
