I bought a brand new set off eBay for £550 after using the R3s for a number of years. Just got out this weekend to try them for the first time and I am very impressed with them. They feel solid and seem much louder than the R3s. The drop back tone is good and you can attach bobbins through a quick release connector that comes with them. Too early to give a long term review but first impressions are positive. Are they better than my R3s? Yes I would say so but if you ask me if they are worth the £690 original price then no. The additional features are definately not worth the extra £300 on top of the R3s in my opinion. If I hadn't got them cheap I would have happily stuck with the R3s.

I've actually been thinking about the R3's to be honest after selling me TXI's. However the drop back sound and the line movement sensor for windy and boat situations is tempting.
Cheers for the feedback.

I just noticed the price of these alarms...... rrp £241.99 ea.... 
Yep, they have some tech in them but who'd buy these when a set of RX+'s are available for the same price?

I do chuckle when some manufacturers claim there buzzers are waterproof

Indeed unless they carry an IP rating

People who don't like fox gear maybe?

The alarms have been out several months and prices have dropped any reviews from people who use them? Cheers
I think Nash are taking the **** for these, £200 each and they're made in China, they're probably £5-10 each to produce..
I think Nash stuff used to be really good quality, I had one of the original Titans back in the day and a Titan Viper and the quality was second to none.
But now - I think they've really gone downhill, and gotten way more expensive.

I haven't got the R4's but have had the R3's since shortly after their release and they have been spot on. I've no intention of getting the R4's but if I had to get new buzzers I certainly wouldn't be worried about their quality. Whether they're value for money is a personal opinion, but where they're made is pretty much irrelevant from that point of view IMO.

I gave a short review back in March when I first bought them and had used them just once. 9 months on and I still think they are a solid alarm with some great features. I have just had to change the alarm batteries so not too bad but the receiver is still going strong. I do have a slight problem with one alarm in that the line seems to be going over the roller without turning it. Not sure what's going on because it works if you run a piece of paper over it and the other 2 are fine. Maybe some dirt on the roller or something otherwise I will be contacting them under the guarantee. I got the alarms quite a bit cheaper than RRP and my views are still the same. Great alarms but the additional features are not worth the significant price increase over the R3s. Maybe I would think differently if i was fishing flowing water and did more boat work.
