    We used these as we were moving from Wisconsin to New Mexico. It made communicating with the second car/moving truck much easier without interrupting the gps. Only complaint is the battery life. They lasted roughly 3-4 hours which in itself is good, but we were on the road for 9+ hours at a time

    Quality talkies with good range

    Bought this as a gift for my kids so that they'd have something higher quality than a toy, but without breaking the bank. I like that it comes with a charger and an option to use standard batteries in case the rechargeable ones are no longer working. Only one instance so far of the walkie talkies picking up an outside conversation. We switched channels and couldn't seem to get rid of it, so we turned them off and tried again 30 minutes later. No big deal since we weren't looking for a "perfect" solution. Good buy for the price!

    These walkies provide a great value and are easy to use. I purchased them so I could teach my wife and kids the basics of communication long range in case there were an emergency. They're also convenient at a fair and of course camping.

    These radios worked perfect in the woods. I bought them so I could communicate with my bro in law while hunting because cell phone service is nonexistent where we go. Good range and easy to use with gloves on. I also bought the in ear cable so volume wasn’t a huge deal. These radios have amazing speakers that can be loud

    I like the radio size. Communication was good. What I did not like was the battery. The radio says the battery was full, then a few minutes later the radio was indicating it had a low battery. Also charging the radio took a long time. Charged for a few hours and the radio did not last 30 minutes the next day. I guess you have to charge the radio the whole night to fully charge the battery.

    These were great little, easy-to-use, compact walkie talkies. I loved everything about them and was excited to take them along on a trip to the lake. We clipped them onto the shoulder of our life vests and unfortunately, my partner fell off her paddleboard. This was pretty shallow water and she was able to immediately pop back up onto her board, making sure the device wasn't submerged in water that long... maybe 15 seconds from start to finish, max. I immediately attempted to contact her from my device, and hers was inoperable. It's 3 days later and it still doesn't work. I'll be contacting the manufacturer and hope I can get a replacement with a product that's actually waterproof.

    This product was very useful for my job. If you ever need some type of way to communicate with someone this could be one of the ways you could do so. A downside to this would be the fact that the product can't go too far without disconnecting and then not working.

    I didn't read the instructions upon buying these. They were bought as a test baby for inter-office communications. When they are paired with the headsets; made by midland as well; they are flawless. 2 way communication, talk on the channel and it will sense your voice if you want it to. Want the local weather? just push a button. 28 miles away? no problem. definitely would consider buying these again, and I probably will. They come with a recharging stand and if you lose that, just use micro-usb to recharge them.

    These walkie talkies are a great asset for our camping trips. We could always use our phones, but it is nice and easy, as well as convenient to just press a button and talk with this product. The price was doable, and the distance they can work is unreal.... It is nice having the capability of multiple channels, although the chances of all of them being taken at the same time is slim. Great product. Very pleased.

    I have used Midland radios at work, and they do the job. Almost no interference if you pick a channel that is not busy. We had a good time using them at a renaissance festival where the cell phone reception was awful. Reliable and clear audio with easy to press features and even light water resistance.

    Great budget walkie talkies. I got these for the family to use while on the cruise. Got good coverage on the ship we were able to coordinate using these. The island has good coverage as well. The coverage does depend on how far away and what floor we were on the ship.

    I bought several sets of these to pass out to hurricane victims in Black Mountain, NC when hurricane Helene destroyed the town. They were absolutely vital in making communication easier when the networks were down. Highly recommend. Very functional. Thank you!!

    I bought 3 sets of these for a trip to the Olympic National Park with my friends. One day we went on a hike up one of the mountains, and having these worked perfectly since we didn't have cell service. And doubly so as a couple folks in our group didn't feel well so we were able to stay in contact the entire time. I would recommend having regular AAA batteries along with the rechargeable, they seem to last longer than the rechargeable ones from our experience.

    These Walkies are Great. The have great sound and great range. We use them when we go camping which is often. My wife usually stays at the RV and go hiking with the dogs. Since we often don't have cell service when camping, the walkies allow us to stay in touch. And since they are rechargeable, they are always ready to go. Very happy with them.

    These were marked down. I wanted to have another play thing with pre 10 year olds. They were excited when I showed them. More excited when I opened them up. The rechargeable batteries had to be installed, which is no big thing. I put the belt clip on, and that only took a second or so each. After charging them, they were ready for kid, and adult play. The sound quality is very good. I haven't gone farther than a few hundred feet yet. That will come
