    I used these on a roadtrip with my wife following me in her own car. They worked great and didn’t let us down at all for the roadtrip. However we tested them out about a mile away from each other in residential areas and weren’t able to get them to reach that far. Signal isn’t nearly as strong as the packaging leads you to believe and the volume isn’t very loud. Other than that, they’re reliable and easy to use!

    We haven't been able to use these as intended because of Covid-19 stay at home orders but they were easy to operate when we did a little test. Knocked off a star because I would like to be able to turn off the beep when you press and release the talk button. When we get a chance to use them, if I feel different I will edit review.

    Bought for the kids to play with and they have had a lot of fun. Having rechargeable batteries makes it a better cost idea.

    These works very well, man they have some serious distance capabilities. They work exceptionally well and stretch very far. I love how well they work, and how durable they feel, they feel extremely well built like you could take them into war.

    Two major drawbacks with good build quality

    We are not newbies to this type of items. I bought these for my kids because it was a three pack. Unfortunately, the charger they provide can only charge two at one time. We did have another micro usb charging cable but that isn’t cool. I had read reviews that the coverage was far shorter than the 11 miles advertised. I wasn’t too concerned because I figured they would only use them around the house until my husband sent my son out for a bike ride around the neighborhood with one. It didn’t even reach a mile out! These two huge flaws aside, the build quality is pretty nice. Be prepared when you buy. If you can live with these drawbacks, they are fine for the price. Otherwise, you can spend another $20 to get better range.

    Coms for the Kids

    Awesome for the family. My kids use them when running around the campsite. I keep them in the camper and its nice to be able to communicate while they ride their bikes or go for a walk. Cell phones don't work everywhere you know. I only wish they were brightly colored because they are very lightweight and small.

    The package can't be beat in terms of pricing with 3 walkie talkies come with this one. 16 mile radius, 22 channel, literally $13 a piece at the $40 price. No way to go wrong with these awesome cobras.

    seems to be sturdy enough and well build. The display is small though. Haven't tried using it in the open but we do have fun time using in the home. One issue though is the static if we are closer enough like few feets apart.

    Battery lasts quite a bit, but isn't very loud. Unfortunately not useful if my staff can't hear each other in a semi quiet warehouse/or when other people are around. Will return. :(

    These walkies are good, not great. The volume when up all the way is actually not very loud. The holding down and releasing of the mike is actually louder, not practical when they are being used at home for home care.

    Great for the price but it seems like you need a clear line of sight for best use. Speaker volume is a little low. Perfect size to just shove in a pocket and go!

      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

    I was skeptical at first but am quite happy with this purchase for my five kids. They all love them and I love the fact that I can listen to all of them while they’re out playing in the neighborhood!
