I knew I wouldn't get the advertised 16 mile range. But they did reach almost 3 blocks. They'll be good for my family at the mall or amusement park probably. Also, I spend a lot of time in my basement, and there is a dead cell spot, so these do the trick when the wife needs to yell at me.

I bought these for my 6 year old son. He wanted Nerf Walker Talkie's but with the bad reviews on it, I thought it would be better to get him real Walkie Talkies.
They work great. I like that you don't hear static when it's on. We don't usually talk very far away from each other, but I was able to talk to him from his school when he was home. School is a little under a mile drive away uphill with houses and trees in the way. It has 22 channels so you don't have to really worry about being on same channel with someone else unless you leave it on the default 1.
My only con would be battery life. There is no power saver mode, so if you accidentally leave it on, expect to have to replace batteries. We've had to replace Duracel batteries several times in a month of owning them and he doesn't really use it that often. I would have loved it if it had a rechargeable battery, but I guess AAA's are easier to replace if you have no power outlet.

Bought this for my grandson to "play" with for his 6th birthday. Feedback from him was that it's great. Dad told us that they have used it outside and between cars. Other Grandma lives 16 miles away (the ideal range of this set) and doubt that it will reach that far. I will edit my review if I hear that it does have that kind of range. Absolutely can't beat the play value of this for boys and girls (lets his sister use it) inside and outside, city or farm. Smaller size fits well in kids hands or pockets for carrying. Durable build. Would recommend.

I brought the Cobra Walkie Talkie for my nephew birthday and he loves it. He plays around the house with his brothers talking on them for hours. Great buy.

Cute little radios. The kids loved them. We could even hear another conversation from somewhere outside the house. Kind of weird, but interesting, proving that they do seem to have pretty good range. Both our radios were indoors at that time. Small enough for little kids hands, and easy to use. I am pleased with this purchase.

Bought these on deal of the day for twenty. They work well, can hear each other clearly. Easy for kids to get the hang of. They do eat up batteries, so I suggest rechargeable. With moderate use we can make it 2-3 days. I accidentally left mine on overnight and the batteries were gone the next day. So far we've only used them around the house/yard so I can't attest to distance.

Bought 2 sets of these for my son and his friends for when they run around the neighborhood. Lightweight, durable, and easy to use. Only complaint is that 2 of the first 4 didn't work. Returned them and the replacements work great.

I got these for my nephews for Christmas, and they loved them! Took a few tries to get the hang of them, but once they did, they couldn't put them down. They even picked up someone else's conversation from nearby. So I'd say they have pretty good range. I was surprised at how small they were, though. The online images showed no indication of their true size. But the smaller size is perfect for a 5 and 7 year old. Great little walkie talkies. Very pleased with the purchase.

Good value for inexpensive pair. Multifunction buttons a bit of a nuisance.
