    So far so good. Works well. Haven’t pushed the range limits yet. My only issue is when I set my walkie down next to my car stereo, it tends to pick up static from my radio as if someone’s trying to communicate with me

    The two ways radio is easy to use. The voice on the hand sets were very clear. The signals were very good.

    Great little radios for traveling

    We used these radios to travel as a group together up in the backwoods of Minnesota and Ontario. I have no idea how the manufacturers can say that it's a 26 mile range, after about a mile on the interstate and backroads that was about it for range. When not traveling at highway speeds and on the lake it had a range of about 2 1/2 miles. they worked well within those smaller areas but once you got out past a mile or so it was pretty broken up. If you were going to use them with scouts and they stayed within a mile of the camp, it would be fine, anything outside of that range, you need better communication tools.

    They have a simple design, but are quite resistant to hits and falls in case you plan to use it outdoors and you get good signal on all 3 devices

    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

    Battery life holds up okay and range is solid for casual outings. The connection occasionally weakens at longer distances, but overall performance is dependable considering it’s not a high-end model.

    X-Talker Radio

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Battery life and range could be better

    Fun and kid friendly. Works well around the block. However tried it over a 12-mile range and couldn’t pick hear or ping the other user. So, the 28-mile range isn’t quite true. Also have to recharge batteries after only 3 to 4 hours of continuous use. But for the price and the face that I got this for the kids, I’m not complaining too much.

    I havent had time to test the full limits of the pair but you dont have to have a license to operate according to my research. Great for when you are out biking around town. the VOX wasnt as responsive as i would like, but then that might be due to the headset i use. And they were smaller than i expected. However, for the price i paid, i'm very satisfied with what i got. Especially since it comes with a charging stand.
