However, some users experienced issues with battery life and volume, noting that the radios sometimes lacked sufficient power and loudness. A few customers also mentioned occasional interference or static.

    Took on a cruise and couldn't communicate more than a few hundred feet without static turning conversation into constantly saying, "What?" Will probably return.

    We bought these so my husband and I had a way of communicating with each other during yard work or so he could call me from his office in our home. The range was terrible, the reception horrible and we constantly got other people's conversations.

    These work well for about 150' from each other. Beyond that you should upgrade to more professional equipment.

    The range on them were very very poor, you practically have to be in view of the other person for them to work. I did return them with no issues, great return policy at Best Buy.
