What reviewers didn't like

Digital display is somewhat difficult to read
The most noticeable change between the GT-7 and the Escort iX is a softer female voice that can often be difficult to decipher over driving noise when compared to the deeper and clear male voice on the Beltronics device.
Although this Escort iX radar detector review shows this is a strong model, the iX’s price point is higher than some other Escort radar detectors.
Having all controls on top of the radar detector is inconvenient but a common trait.
Among them: too much data crammed into too little space, tiny fonts and low contrast.
