Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the ease of use and communication capabilities of the 32-Mile, 40-Channel 2-Way Radios. They appreciate how simple they are to operate, even for younger users, and find them particularly useful for outdoor activities, festivals, and staying connected with friends and family over long distances. On the downside, customers are negative about the range of the radios, with many expressing disappointment that the advertised 32-mile range falls short in practice.

      Thank you for choosing Cobra! While these radios are designed for long-range communication, environmental factors can affect their range. For optimal performance, flat and open terrain is ideal. If you need assistance with your radios, please contact us at 800-543-1608. We are happy to help! cedarelectronics-cobra

    So far so good, not sure about the 32 mile range, not using it for that much distance, but for around the house and so forth not bad at all.

    I’ve used 2 way radios when working store security, and I’ve never had one where the battery level would drop as fast as these! I wouldn’t recommend for adult use, maybe for kids playing or just use tin cans with a string. It might last longer. Must be made in China.

    Lazy employee lied saying it was not in stock when I went inside the store and I did advise her it show available inside that particular store. I decided to do curb side pick up due to the incompetence of the employee and laziness a serious lack of care. I got the product almost immediately after I ordered it right there in the parking lot. I was enraged how she lied and argued with me and simply did not want to do her job! I wanted to go instant tell some but had a busy schedule. Do better Best Buy! If I could give a zero I would!

    Product did not work 1 mile apart let alone 32 miles. Tried to use in cleared pasture land for communication. Purchased 2 sets, was a waste of money.

      Thank you for your review. Our radios are designed for long-range communication, but environmental factors such as trees and tall buildings can significantly reduce their effective range. Additionally, using the radio indoors or encountering atmospheric noise can also affect performance, and this may fluctuate daily. If you have any questions or require assistance, do not hesitate to contact us at 800-543-1608. We are happy to help! cedarelectronics-cobra

    Does not work. False advertising. You’d be lucky to get a half mile out of this. I can probably yell farther than this. Good for children i guess.

      Thank you for your review. While our radios offer long-range communication, it is important to note that environmental factors like trees and tall buildings, for example, can reduce the range. Using the radio indoors or encountering significant atmospheric noise on the channels can also diminish its range, which may fluctuate from day to day. For questions or assistance, please contact us at 800-543-1608. We're here to help! cedarelectronics-cobra

      Thank you for your valuable feedback. The specified range is based on ideal conditions, such as clear line-of-sight with no obstructions. Things like trees, hills or buildings may reduce the range. For best performance, try using the radios in open areas with minimal interference, and ensure both units have fully charged batteries.

    Nice set of walkie-talkie's. They helped get me and my wife across the country to our new home. Cell phones would have been a nightmare. Very easy to use and have great distance.
