Pros Text display, stylish appearance, loud warning, digital compass.
Cons False alarms, sometimes not as sensitive as it should be.
Recommended it? Yes

I've had the Cobra ESD9550 for about 2 years now and it has done a fairly good job. I have received one speeding ticket while it was plugged in but I think it may be a cause getting caught as I came over a hill and the Cobra didn't pick up the radar from the other side of the hill. I hope that's... Read full review »

Pros Stylish design, feature-packed, loud alerts, informative display
Cons Older models have very dim amber display, mute button confusing
Recommended it? Yes

The Cobra 9550 is a feature-packed radar detector that can detect X, K, Super Wideband Ka, Laser, Safety Alert, and Strobe Alert signals. It also includes a nifty electronic compass that shows you the direction you're heading when you're not receiving any other signal.

Not the best but you get more for what you pay for...

Pros Great Features, good range
Cons The windshield bracket is flimsy
Recommended it? Yes

The Cobra 9550 is an extremely useful tool in trying to get to your destination without added costs. It has a lot of great features besides radar and Laser (LIDAR for your techno geeks) detection on all bands. This unit has VG-2 alert and cloaking, which is a feature not all top model detectors...

Pros Easy to setup, digital compass, good at detecting, 9 band detection
Cons Not loud enough
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased the Cobra 9550 after doing some research online. I had a whistler before, and I received many false alarms from it. I wanted to make sure I was getting a good detector. I paid about $100 for it, and it has been very reliable for me. It was easy to setup up (then again, what radar... Read full review »

Pros Auto Mute and Emergency Warning
Cons The White Color for some
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this Radar Detector after reading the ad in my car and driver. It looked like something that might compliment my Corvette's dash. I was correct. The features I like best on this Radar Detector are the Auto Mute and Emergency warning. It will inform you if you are coming upon road... Read full review »

Pros looks good, long range
Cons noticeable on windshield during the day
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this product because i felt if i had it in my car it would have reduced my chances of gettin a ticket or just the fact of knowing that there was a "po po" around which would stop me from stupid acts on the road. With this Cobra 9550 it would detect the police without any trouble and would... Read full review »

Pros It has a compass that works
Cons It can't be seen or heard.
Recommended it? No

I was looking for a new Radar Detector for our new VW Beetle GLX 1.8 turbo. The Beetle does not have a compass fitted and when I saw the Cobra 9550 with built-in compass I thought it would be just the thing. However after installing it and setting the compass (both very easy to do) I noticed that... Read full review »

Pros Compass, IT's so PRETTY ; ) Easy to read display
Cons Bad reception...TICKETS
Recommended it? No

I had bought this detector back in 2001 in which at 1st worked great for me. It would detect cops in K band a mile away. It had saved me a few times but many times it didn't. I had a bright red 2002 Mitsu Eclipse that just seemed to not be able to pull off the shoulder. Keep in mind that the... Read full review »

Great Radar Detector

Pros Bright Display, Very nice bells and whistles
Cons Alerts could be a little louder
Recommended it? Yes

So far I have to say I like this Radar Detector. I read a bunch of reviews on it prior to purchasing it, and I must say that I agree with all the good ones. I'm hoping to see the Strobe Alert work, so far it would seem Connecticut State Police does not have this system installed in their cars, but... Read full review »
