Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased these compact Cobra 2-way radios because I had owned an earlier model (now obsolete) and had loved the earlier model for it's sound quality and ease of use - easy to set channels, to lock and to undnerstand how each feature worked. I could also use it with a headset so that I could be completely hands-free.I was still happy with the ease of use of this Cobra model, and the sound quality was good (on Motorola's I find it harder to understand the transmissions), and I liked the placement of the controls.However, my disappointment was HUGE when I tried to use it with a headset - not any headset, mind you, but the Cobra earbud that is supposed to be used with it.There is a feature on the Cobras (ALL of them as their tech support has told me) called "Power Save".It is not enough for them to tell you there is a "Power Save" feature; so proud of it are they that when it is "active" it flashes a "Power Save" logo on & off when you are not sending a transmission or receiving a transmission.Over a headset, this translates to an audible clicking sound every time the logo flashes on and off.It is enough to drive you crazy and render any headset completely worthless.So I recommend Cobra radios highly if you do not need to use a headset (you cannot hear the "clicks" without the headset) but give them a huge raspberry if you want to use a headset.Hopefully they will fix this glitch in future models, but in the meantime look elsewhere for your handsfree option.
