I've been using the fox MX's, I can't fault them as they have everything I need on a alarm plus the receiver is decent too.

Sonik Hero X are worth a look for the money. I got a set as spare / park lakes

Nash r3 second hand. I got 4 and a receiver for £200, they are brilliant 👍

The Mini Micron X would be my choice. £170 for 3 plus receiver, can't see what the RX actually do over and above them for an extra £420.
I bought a set for some iffy fishing and ended up using them all the time. Completely reliable, great battery, plenty of adjustment, great range, small and light.

I agree, when you look at features that are actually useful (e.g. different tone for drop back) the micron X's have them all. £170 for a 3 rod set is good value and should be reliable vs. some of the cheaper alarms. I'd rather spend that extra money on bait (or a ticket for that matter!)

Same as what's made in the UK got to do with anything . The English companies make much better bank ware the the Chinese do.

Was in the shop this summer ready to buy the RX+ set in the end i decided to keep my Mini Micron X set and spend the money on something else, only reason I wanted the RX+ set is the option: Extra Bivvy light that only turns on after 3 beeps but thinking about it not worth the extra money for me
The Mini Microns x are so good that I will be using these for quite some time

I have been using the NewDirection S9's for years. Receiver can control settings on the alarms remotely so if you want to drop the sensitivity down a bit due to wind an rain, can be done from the comfort of your bivvy.
Rechargeable batteries too

If the Germans made the best alarms they'd have a far bigger chunk of the market

They don't market their alarms in the UK , In the EU they sell a lot of alarms.

Do you have a set?
Do you know whether the Age One or the Roc XRS are the current model and how they compare?
