Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the impressive range and good sound quality of the Hero Series 16-Mile, 22-Channel FRS/GMRS 2-Way Radios. Many also appreciate the radios' ease of use and find them to be a good value for the price. The compact size is another plus for some users. However, a common complaint centers around the relatively short battery life.

    They are "okay". Definitely prefer rechargeable over battery. They are ok just to play around with the kids or took talk from the next room over.

    I bought this for playing with kids. They love it. We have been used it when we go to parks. Some statics when at distance. I guess good toy for kids but not for serious use.

    We purchased these to communicate with our kids while they played outside. They are very clear and the battery last for a very long time.

    Got this as a gift to my son. He immediately gave it to his friend who lives on the same floor of our apartment building. They’re communicating and having a great time. Sounds very clear and audible.

    We got these radios for a hearing impaired family member to use in noisy conditions. Once we got the right headphones for them, they worked great. Note the headphone jack is 2.5 instead of the standard 3.5.

    I would say in normal conditions you’ll get about a mile or two, unless it’s totally clear (no trees no buildings—which is rare). But they are still a good value.

    Didn’t work as well as I thought. Broke fairly quickly. Would not buy this again. They felt like cheap plastic. Only had them for a couple of months. The kids toy walk-in talkies worked for longer
