Simple and easy to use! We bought it for our elderly mother to contact us anywhere in the house and it works perfect, loud and clear reception.

Had two cars driving from Florida to Philly and used theses to easily keep in touch. Range was great even when i couldn't see the other car plus battery lasted all day. Very little interference and sound was crisp and clear. When i did hear interference we switched channels and all was good. Highly Recommend ! Great Value for the Money.

28 Miles is a Stretch

I live in a two story house with a full basement that contains a studio where I spend a good deal of time. My wife has some medical issues and I purchased the 2-way radios so that she could reach me when she is on the second floor and I am in the studio working. For that purpose, all is good.
I thought the 28 mile distance would allow me the freedom to leave the house and make short trips with my wife still being able to reach me by simply pushing a button. On my first outing, less than a mile from the house, we were no longer able to communicate. 28 miles seems to be nothing more than a fantasy. Communication outside the house remains a phone call and not the push of a button away.

Was able to quickly and easily communicate with family while on vacation while driving in two separate vehicles. We were within 2 miles of each other and sound was clear and crisp. Took kayak out on lake and was able to call back to Villa to family. It even survived an accidental drop in salt water. Took apart and dried for a day and was back in business. I did test it with my wife while driving in separate cars. She went downhill away from me and lost her within quarter mile but. If not in mountains, these work great.

I purchased these for our Disney Cruise 2023, and they worked perfect. We have 2. I had a X-TALKER and my Daughter and her family had the other X-Talker and we were able to communicate being on different sides of the ship. Everyone was saying great idea and that they were going to purchase some for their trip. I told everyone I got mine from Best Buy. I will purchase two more. We love them. Was able to hear well and the range is awesome.

Good buy for the money. Simple to use. Not too many buttons to worry about, but gets the job done. (Similar products have more options which make the items more complex to use.) Great for youngsters and older people. True hikers and campers may want something more, but really these work!

Good quality but the range is actually 1/2 mile when there's obstacles, good to communicate with your child when playing in the neighborhood, 28 miles probably when you're in a desert only.

Best handheld radios

These radios are perfect for communication on the go. I build jeeps for work and host trail rides/off roading courses. These are the radios I use from groups of 2 to 20 jeeps. Even on the road they have decent range for the price. Volume is better than others and this is in my opinion the best set up without going with an on board radio.

These were purchased for communication during a Ragnar Race in Utah and worked great. They helped with communication between base camp and the runners. There were a few spots with broken reception, but that was primarily due to the runner and basecamp being separated by a mountain. The third radio helped with being able to relay though as a team member may have been closer. Cant wait to use them again this summer on family camping trips.

These things have been perfect. Don't save a few bucks on the lower end ones...it's not worth it. I tried a couple others and they were a nightmare. These one have a great charging station that charges BOTH units at the same time. Turn 'em on and they just work!!

These radios work great on our vacation time while my wife hunts for shells and I am resting/working back at our rental. Our range usage is usually limited to no more than 1-mile so I don't have anything on the range of the units.

Solid pair of walkie talkies

Solid value for the price. I just needed a basic set of walkie talkie so I could communicate with different departments around a nonprofit radio station during a fundraiser. The audio was clear and it performed like I needed it to. The only downside is that I couldn't turn the volume down quietly - it beeps loudly when turning the volume up or down - but not a huge deal.

Bought these on sale and I have to say they work really well. Got these as a back way to contact my wife for emergency outages. 26 miles based on a clear line of sight from what I can tell but overall, works well.

We love to do road trips and this radio turned out to be useful. Only donwside is its battery easily drains. You need to bring the charging cable all the time.
