SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
	(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Business — Cobra designs and markets consumer electronics products, which it sells primarily under the Cobra brand name principally in the United States, Canada and Europe. The Company, through its Performance Products Limited (“PPL”) subsidiary, sells products under the Snooper trade name, principally in the United Kingdom, as well as elsewhere in Europe. A majority of the Company’s products are purchased from overseas suppliers based in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea. The consumer electronics market is characterized by rapidly changing technology and certain products may have limited life cycles. Management believes that it maintains strong relationships with its current suppliers and that, if necessary, other suppliers could be found. The extent to which a change in a supplier would have an adverse effect on the Company’s business depends on the timing of the change, the product or products that the supplier produces for the Company and the volume of that production. The Company also maintains insurance coverage that would, in certain limited circumstances, reimburse the Company for lost profits resulting from a supplier’s inability to fulfill its commitments to the Company.
	Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The consolidated entities are collectively referred to as the “Company”. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Accounts Receivable — The majority of the Company’s accounts receivables are due from retailers and two-step distributors. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition, including, at times, the availability of credit insurance, and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are due within various time periods specified in the terms applicable to the specific customer and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
	The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, availability of credit insurance and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance for doubtful accounts when they are judged to be uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to bad debt expense.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS	'
	(2) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard provides for a single comprehensive model and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry specific guidance, and provides for enhanced disclosure requirements. The objective of the new guidance is to improve the consistency, comparability and usefulness to users of financial statements. ASU 2014-09 provides for two implementation methods (1) full retrospective application to each prior period or (2) modified retrospective application with the cumulative effect as of the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the new pronouncement which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (the Company’s 2017 calendar year) and early application is not permitted.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]	'
INCOME TAXES	'
	(5) INCOME TAXES
	Each quarter, the Company estimates the annual effective income tax rate (“ETR”) for the full year and applies that rate to the earnings (loss) before income taxes for tax jurisdictions not subject to a valuation allowance in determining its provision for income taxes for the interim periods. The determination of the consolidated provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and the related valuation allowance requires management to make certain judgments and estimates. Changes in the estimated level of annual pre-tax earnings, tax laws and changes resulting from tax audits can affect the overall effective income tax rate, which impacts the level of income tax expense and net income. Judgments and estimates related to the Company’s projections and assumptions are inherently uncertain; therefore, actual results could differ materially from projections.
	The year-to-date ETR was less than the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate, mainly due to the taxing jurisdictions in which the Company and its foreign subsidiaries generate taxable income or loss and judgments as to the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets.
	The Company reviews the need for a valuation allowance at each quarter-end. The U.S. operations were in a loss position for the six month period ended June 30, 2014. Based on this and other relevant information, the Company concluded it did not meet the more likely than not criteria to justify the reversal of the valuation allowance at June 30, 2014. The valuation allowance for the U.S. operations totaled $10.3 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company will continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance throughout 2014, pursuant to the guidance of U.S. accounting principles. Should the Company demonstrate a favorable and sustainable trend for its historic and projected operating results in the U.S., a reduction in the valuation allowance and a corresponding income tax benefit may result.

	(6) FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
	The Company is party to a Credit Agreement dated July 16, 2010 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, BMO Harris Bank N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $35.0 million secured credit facility expiring on July 16, 2016.
	The Credit Agreement was amended on March 6, 2014 to waive the non-compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio for the fourth quarter of 2013, to replace the interest reserve with a $1.5 million availability block which applies to the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement and to add a 2 percent pricing fee on a portion of the amount of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement was further amended on April 2, 2014 to replace Fifth Third Bank with First Midwest Bank, as a lender. In the second quarter of 2014, $130,000 of the capitalized loan fees were written off and an additional $70,000 of the loan fees were capitalized and will be amortized over the remaining term. On May 14, 2014, the Lenders granted the Company a waiver with respect to the non-compliance with the minimum twelve-month trailing EBITDA As Defined covenant contained in the Credit Agreement of $1.5 million for the period ended March 31, 2014. The $105,000 waiver fee was expensed in the second quarter of 2014.
	The Company did not meet the minimum twelve-month trailing EBITDA As Defined covenant of $4.3 million for the period ended June 30, 2014. On August 11, 2014, the Company and the Lenders entered into a waiver and amendment agreement pursuant to which the Lenders waived the non-compliance for the second quarter of 2014, increased the availability block to $2.0 million and changed the applicable covenant to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.00 for the third quarter of 2014, the fourth quarter of 2014 and thereafter.
	As amended, the Credit Agreement provides a minimum covenant based on a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.00 for the third and fourth quarter of 2014 and thereafter. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at either the base rate or the LIBOR lending rate (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), as applicable, plus the applicable margin set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Company will also pay certain fees and expenses, including (i) a commitment fee of 0.25 percent on the unused portion of the Lenders’ aggregate revolving commitment and (ii) a letter of credit fee equal to the product of the applicable margin set forth in the Credit Agreement times the face amount of the standby letters of credit and the commercial letters of credit outstanding at such time. The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including but not limited to financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the periods set forth in the Credit Agreement.
	Certain other covenants under the Credit Agreement follow:
	Annual capital expenditures limit (in thousands)	$	4,000
	Annual dividend to shareholders limit (in thousands)	$	1,250
	Pursuant to the terms of its Credit Agreement, the Company is required to make mandatory prepayments on the amounts outstanding thereunder in the event that the Company receives proceeds under certain circumstances or in connection with other specified events. Absent a waiver from lenders, a failure to comply with the covenants in the Credit Agreement could result in any outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement becoming immediately due and payable and the inability to borrow additional funds under the Credit Agreement.
	As a condition to the extension of the loan and the issuance of the letters of credit under the Credit Agreement, the Company has granted a security interest to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in substantially all the assets of the Company except (i) life insurance policies not collaterally assigned to the Lenders, (ii) any equipment subject to liens permitted under the Credit Agreement if such equipment is also subject to an agreement prohibiting the pledge of such equipment to the Lenders, (iii) deposit accounts used exclusively by the Company for payroll and employee retiree benefit purposes and (iv) the Company’s interest in the outstanding voting equity securities of any of its directly-owned foreign subsidiaries to the extent such interests exceed 65 percent of the outstanding voting equity securities of such foreign subsidiary.
	The Company’s interest bearing debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility and credit availability under the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 follows:
		June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
		(in thousands)
	Interest bearing debt	$	18,674		$	20,673
	Credit availability	$	5,441		$	8,369
	The borrowing base formula to determine credit availability includes the following:
	Percentage of eligible accounts receivable		85	%
	The lesser of:
	Percentage of lower of cost or market of eligible inventory		65	%
	Percentage of appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory		85	%
	Percentage of commercial letters of credit		65	%
	The borrowing base is also subject to certain limitations and reserves established at the Lender’s discretion. If necessary, the Credit Agreement permits an “overadvance” of up to $1 million for sixty consecutive days.
	The weighted average interest rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (which includes the amortization charges associated with the terminated interest rate swap, refer to Note 8, Derivatives for additional information) is summarized in the following table:

	(7) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term debt and letters of credit. The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the Company’s bank borrowings under its Credit Agreement approximated fair value because the interest rates are reset periodically to reflect current market rates. The letters of credit approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of letters of credit at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 follows:

The Company currently does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company regularly monitors foreign exchange exposures and ensures hedge contract amounts do not exceed the amounts of the underlying exposures.
	The Company maintained an interest rate swap, which was terminated on July 16, 2010, to fix the interest rate for the term of the revolving credit facility and term loan under its previous Credit Agreement, thereby protecting the Company from future interest rate increases. The interest rate swap represented a cash flow hedge and was recorded at fair value and classified as a non-current liability.
	Changes in the recorded fair value of the interest rate swap were recorded to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). The termination cost of the interest rate swap was amortized into interest expense through March 31, 2014. The interest amortization for the Company’s terminated interest rate swap reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) into Interest Expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 follows:
		Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

	Interest expense		—	$	16	$	10	$	33
	With the conclusion of interest rate swap amortization, the residual effect of interest rate swap amounts previously charged to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) were reclassified to other income in the first quarter of 2014.

	(9) EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
	Basic earnings (loss) per share excludes any dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock resulted in the issuance of common stock. If the common stock equivalents have an anti-dilutive effect, they are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share. The earnings or loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 follows:

	The diluted earnings per share calculations include the incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options that have a market price in excess of the exercise price. When the exercise price of an option exceeds its market price, the incremental shares are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.

PRODUCT WARRANTY COSTS AND INVENTORY VALUATION RESERVES	'
	(14) PRODUCT WARRANTY COSTS AND INVENTORY VALUATION RESERVES
	The Company warrants to the consumer who purchases its products that it will repair or replace, without charge, defective products within one year of purchase. The Company also has a return policy for its customers that allow them to return, to the Company, products returned to them by their customers for full or partial credit based on when the Company’s customer last purchased these products. Accordingly, the Company maintains a warranty reserve and a liquidation reserve.
	The warranty reserve reflects historical return rates by product category multiplied by the most recent six months of unit sales and the unit standard cost of each model. The Company uses the most recent six months of unit sales in its estimate, as historical experience indicates that most returns will occur within six months of the Company’s original sale date. Therefore, judgments must be made based on historical return rates and how the returned product will be disposed of either by liquidation or return to vendors for credit on new purchases. The amount of the reserve reflects the estimated quantity of future returns and the expected return costs. The expected return cost is based on the difference between the purchase cost and the return credit from the vendor or the difference between the purchase cost and the liquidation sale. This reserve may vary based upon the level of sales and changes in historical return rates from quarter to quarter as well as estimated costs of disposal, either liquidation prices or the credit given by vendors. A roll-forward of the warranty reserve follows:
		Six Months			Year
		Ended			Ended
		June 30,			December 31,
		2014			2013
		(in thousands)
	Accrued product warranty costs, beginning of period	$	1,113		$	1,040
	Warranty provision		1,085			2,100
	Warranty expenditures		(1,345	)		(2,027	)
	Accrued product warranty costs, end of period	$	853		$	1,113
	The liquidation reserve represents the write-down of returned product from our customers to its net realizable value. Returned inventory is either sold to various liquidators or returned to vendors for partial credit against similar, new models; this decision depends upon the estimated future demand for the models. Judgments are made as to whether various models are to be liquidated or returned to the vendor, taking into consideration the liquidation prices expected to be received and the amount of vendor credit. The amount of the reserve reflects the quantity of returned products on-hand and the expected return costs. The expected return cost is the difference between the purchase cost and the return credit from the vendor or the difference between the purchase cost and the liquidation sale. This reserve can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter depending upon quantities of returned inventory on hand and the estimated liquidation price or vendor credit per unit. A roll-forward of the liquidation reserve, which is classified as a contra inventory item on the balance sheet, follows:
		Six Months			Year
		Ended			Ended
		June 30,			December 31,

	Liquidation of models		(1,047	)		(2,509	)
	Liquidation reserve, end of period	$	1,149		$	1,004
	The Company maintains a net realizable value (“NRV”) reserve to write-down, as necessary, certain inventory not previously sold to customers, except for that covered by the liquidation reserve discussed above, below cost. The reserve includes models where it is determined that the NRV is less than cost. Thus, judgments must be made about which slow-moving, excess or non-current models are to be included in the reserve and the estimated net realizable value of such models. The estimated realizable value of each model is the per unit price that it is estimated to be received if the model was sold in the marketplace. This reserve will vary depending upon the specific models selected, the estimated NRV for each model and quantities of each model that are determined will be sold below cost from quarter to quarter. A roll-forward of the NRV reserve, which is classified as a contra inventory item on the balance sheet, follows:

SUMMARY_OF_SIGNIFICANT_ACCOUNT1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Business	'
	Business — Cobra designs and markets consumer electronics products, which it sells primarily under the Cobra brand name principally in the United States, Canada and Europe. The Company, through its Performance Products Limited (“PPL”) subsidiary, sells products under the Snooper trade name, principally in the United Kingdom, as well as elsewhere in Europe. A majority of the Company’s products are purchased from overseas suppliers based in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea. The consumer electronics market is characterized by rapidly changing technology and certain products may have limited life cycles. Management believes that it maintains strong relationships with its current suppliers and that, if necessary, other suppliers could be found. The extent to which a change in a supplier would have an adverse effect on the Company’s business depends on the timing of the change, the product or products that the supplier produces for the Company and the volume of that production. The Company also maintains insurance coverage that would, in certain limited circumstances, reimburse the Company for lost profits resulting from a supplier’s inability to fulfill its commitments to the Company.
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The consolidated entities are collectively referred to as the “Company”. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Accounts Receivable	'
	Accounts Receivable — The majority of the Company’s accounts receivables are due from retailers and two-step distributors. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition, including, at times, the availability of credit insurance, and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are due within various time periods specified in the terms applicable to the specific customer and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
	The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, availability of credit insurance and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance for doubtful accounts when they are judged to be uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to bad debt expense.
New Accounting Standards	'
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard provides for a single comprehensive model and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry specific guidance, and provides for enhanced disclosure requirements. The objective of the new guidance is to improve the consistency, comparability and usefulness to users of financial statements. ASU 2014-09 provides for two implementation methods (1) full retrospective application to each prior period or (2) modified retrospective application with the cumulative effect as of the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the new pronouncement which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (the Company’s 2017 calendar year) and early application is not permitted.
